Oratory is the art Of talking with the
hands. feet, shoulders. and mouth. and
sometimes with the brain-all al once.
Oratory was first made famous by De
mosthenes a Greek boy who lived many
years before Chauncey Depew's stories
were first invented. Demosthenes became
an orator by nlling his mouth full OF
pebbles thus compelling himself 10 be
brief, on pain Of choking to death. This
plan has fallen into disuse. however.
O-atOry is as hard 10 learn as avia-
tIon The speaker must get astride Of
his theme in a low. resonant voice and
then glide rapidly up into. a loud shrek
pausins only for breath and water. He
must feed his remarks with SMILES,
metaphors, apOstrophies. word paintings,
aphorisms. and epiErams while so Shrek
ing. and the orator who stopped while in
full cry TO claw for an adjective would
meet as disastrous a fate as the aviator

Cautious orators. therefore, make up
full stock Of figures Of speech and keep
them ready for instant use, so that when
they are surprised by personal friend

Il speech they can so on the platform

down afterward from patriotism to pea
nuts in beautiful spiral glide.
A talented orator Is also great ath-
lete, and can use both arms violently for
hours at a time Swimming is a good
preliminary training for orators. II a
man can swim n mile. he can expect TO
go through a long and eloquent Grafton
without getting weak in the shoulders.
A fine orator has a wonderful effect
on an audience and can make II believe
whatever he wants TO tell II about the
tariff or Andrew Jackson. Webster was
one of our greatest orators. He could
begin a talk in low, dispassionate voice
as IL tired Of life, and in ten minutes
could yank his audience up on its chairs
and make it yell as II IL were calling
for the lifeboat. Hypnotists do the same
thing. but they use their arms more
quietly and do not melt so many collars.
a skillful orator can talk magnificently
on any subject. using the same words

The Gratitude Of Brutes.

A gentleman whose route took him
across one of our Washington parks
each morning was accustomed to carry
few peanuts and to feed the squir-
rels, until one of these little creatures
acquired the habit of mounting to the
mans shoulders, seizing and scamperins
down with the nut gently deposited
there.
One morning, being in hurry, the
gentleman forgot the peanuts, though
the squirrel, it seems, did not; and as
his benefactor came along, running
nimbly up his clothing and not finding
the usual nut, what did the little in
CRATE do but bite the gentleman in the
neck till the blood started
Much less is known of the moose
than of the partially tame squirrel, but
in view of recent Developments the
question arises whether a bull moose
that will deliberately seek to destroy
the party which has nourished it is
a safe creature to encourage.
While the ordinary specimen is apt
to be shy but harmless. it seems that
the people have been very generally
deceived as TO a certain unusual type
of this animal. Its stentorian herd
calls, which it is now known are really
imitation cries of the smaller Muntjac,
have hitherto been regarded. if not in
spring, as at least innocent and harm
less; but experienced hunters tell us
that when aggrieved, even from causes
purely fanciful, the bull moose has no
respect for friend or foe, and is one
of the most dangerous beasts that a
civilized man can encounter.
While, therefore. it has been recently
urged that common sheep" if they
would avoid ravenous wolves" should
have sense enough to adopt the bull
moose as a guardian, from very aocu-
rate information as to this creatures

ton to accept as a protector

Parents Care of Children.

A contributor to the Survey is dis
cussing a project which suggests that
there may be danger of carrying too
far the separation of children from
their parents in the enlargement of ed
ucation, whether it be well to extend
the idea of bringing up young people
more and more away from their nat
ural surroundings and freeing parents
more and more from ideas of their
own responsibilities toward their off
spring The writer advocates that
each public school in a large city
should add to its equipment a farm
with dormitoriesS for the older pupils of
the schools" But there is no hint
where the line older" should be
drawn Provided that such a plan be
carried out, the drawing of that line
probably would be one OF the most Sc
rious OF difficulties, because many par
ents would resent any discrimination.
But how are the expenditures for
such an innovation TO be borne by the
public? By the parents' The writer
urges that the children should do most
of the work themselves. Half of each
day should be devoted to labor in the
fields, garden, or carpenter shop and
the other half to play and collecting of
common flowers. leaves, and rocks. The
school-teachers themselves should be
in charge, assisted by college or normal
school graduates. This plan, it is ar
gued, would cost less than to send the
child away to school or to keep it at
home. He says: "The parents could
rest and the children gain the self-re-
lance which comes from a more in
dependent life"
The writer states that the present
system of sending children away to
the country has many faults that need
correction. Undoubtedly So. But has
enough attention been paid TO the fact
that parents often need to be made to
feel the responsibility of caring for
their children summer and winter. The
tendency has been too much in the di-
rection of encouragement of parents to
turn over their offspring to the care of
philanthropic individuals or employees
of public institutions What has been
neglected has been to pay more heed
to have children grow up as far as pos
sible under the care of their parents.
The Commonwealth owes a duty to
parents to stimulate the sense OF pa
ternal responsibility. The relations be-
tween parents and children can be
made mutually helpful and should be
so. Except in cases of neglect and in
competency parents must be regarded
as the natural protectors and trainers
of their children, and the effort should
be to see that they are kept to their
duties and responsibilities, not to be
freed from them!
Summer vacations for city children
are the thing. especially in the country.
But permanent schools for summer use
would perhaps be of questionable
value.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The rainbow season Is upon US.
Woodrow Wilson is to carry the rock
ribbed Republican State of Pennsyl-
vania, and President Taft is certain to
receive sS4 electoral votes.
An optimistic gentleman of the name
of Berry, the Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer in Pennsylvania, has
confded to Gov. Wilson his belief that
the position of the Keystone State in
the Democratic column is already as
sured. The prediction as to President
Taft comes from Chairman Hilles. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that both
statements should be taken with large
grain of salt. In the first place, Penn
sylvania is the very, hotbed of protec-
ton sentiment All signs may fail in
dry weather, but it does not seem
probable, to say the least, that can
didate who approves wholesale reduc-
tions in the steel schedule and who
praised the Democrats in the House for
passing the new steel bill over the
Presidents veto can command a ma
jority of votes in Pennsylvania. One
need only TO recall the cold furnaces
in that State in 1893, when the Wilson
bill became law, to believe that
neither the manufacturers nor the
workingmen will deliberately invite a
return of those conditions.
1t is equally apparent that Mr..
Hilles' statement is merely for cam
paign effect That President Taft may
receive a majority of the electoral col
lege is not only possible, but is be-
coming more probable as the campaign
progresses. At the same time it is
hardly likely that he will carry every
State except those in the South. Mr..
Hilles. it is true, places Arizona, Cali
fornia, Oklahoma, and Nebraska in the
doubtful column. He might, with equal
truth, put Minnesota, Kansas, South
and North Dakota, Wisconsin, and
even Illinois, in the same category.
There are conditions in those States
which are not altogether assuring from
the Republican point of view, while if
Gov Wilson cannot carry his own
State of New Jersey, he might as well
end his campaign at once.
As a matter of fact, it is entirely
too early to begin definite prediction.
No one can tell, for instance, what will
be the effect of Mr.. Roosevelt's pro-
longed tour through the West. He has
already arranged for series of
speeches in all of the large Western
cities, and he will undoubtedly create
much enthusiasm Mr. Bryan is a liv-
ing example of the fact that crowds
and curiosity do not mean votes; but
none the less, Mr.. Roosevelt's trip
means a further stirring up Of the
people into a state of unrest and dis
satisfaction. He has an advantage
over the President in that he can
make personal appeals, and he will ex-
ert every ounce of his admittedly tre-
mendous energy to secure his own cleo
ton, if possible, or, failing in that
result, to accomplish President Taft's
defeat.
