"GRAN'PA."

Pretty much OF the time pa was

anything and there was company and

So it happened that pa came 10 be
associated in sons mind with punish
ment and correction. rather than with
the frank comradeship which means
so much 10 boys.
Now pa probably didnt realize how
far this sort OF thing shut him out Of
the tender places in his sons heart.
Like most fathers. pa was pretty busy
scratching gravel for a living. He
loved his wife. his children. his home.
but/he was so hurried and worried he
didn't take time enough TO cultivate
that love. Home was a place 10 go TO
when the ether places had closed.
But it was different with grandpa.
Grandpa had all the time there was
TO play with the kids. And. my, how
he liked TO do it. In their innocent
gaiety and frolic he saw as in a mirror
a restoration of his own childhood
mellOwed through the years. No whip
pings. no threats. from grandpa. In
stead ready sympathy and the
chuckle OF comradeship every minute
OF the day.
A grand old man was our grandpa.
Wasn't yours?

THE WOMAN OF THE FUTURE.

A German professor, a bachelor. we
bet, says the w6man Of the future will
be cold of feet. flat of figure, wrinkled
and bald.
Glad he puts IL so far away.
OF course. he doesn't know any
more about the woman of the future
than you do.
All anybody can know Of her is that
she will be the same alluring. per-
verse. capricious. dainty yet husky
whimsical. loyal mainstay of man that
the woman of the past has been, per-
haps made just bit more captivating
by new note OF independence.
What figure she will have isn't i'm
portant. 1t will suffice il it shall be
the complement of mans.
Anyhow. let the future take care
OF her It's the woman of the present
that interests us.

But what are they going to do with

infest the English language and the
$4,000 that are being added every

men. and the democratic committee
invited him TO be one of the speakers.
The event looked TO Mr.. Bryan like
an opportunity and he resolved to
make a name for himself. So for
several days prior to the rally he went
to the grove and TO the exact spot
where he would speak-as nearly as
he COULD tell-and delivered his ad-
dress His idea was to be so familiar
with each and every tree within the
sound of his voice that he would be
perfectly at ease when the great day
tame.
A farmer happened along one aft
ernoOn while Mr.. Bryan was holding
one Of these rehearsals with himself,
and he could not understand why
white man should get off a woodlot
by himself and talk in such a loud
voice unless he were crazy. He gave
the word around that there was a
crazy man loose in the grove. a
small party was formed TO catch the
crazy man before he did himself or
others any harm, but by the time they
reached the grove Mr.. Bryan had
wound up his peroration. thanked his
imaginary audience for their kind at
tention and proceeded on his way.
Whether ii was the fear that the
the party, or whether the trouble was
due TO poor advertising, the political
rally was not a success. Scarcely
anybody came. In fact the attendance
was so poor that it was not considered
worth while to have any speeches. All
the orators were requested to tuck
away their remarks for future refer
ence, rather than take the edge off at
such an unsuitable occasion.
-
Mr. Bryan really never delivered his
first political speech at all.
William Jennings Bryan never read
novel until after he had reached
manhood. Then he started in with
David Copperfield. He still thinks
that is about the best novel in print
He likes il better than almost any of
the works Of Robert Chambers or f.
Phillips Oppenheim.

GATHERING
THE NEWS
By Fred c. Kelly
BY FRED G. KELLY.

~ FRIED -. hEllAI1.
With the chautauqua season in full
blast il is perhaps no more than prop
Ell that one should pause moment
and consider how or when one Will
liam Jennings Bryan first ascertained
that he could do things with his voice.
Mr.. Bryan made speeches, of
course, almost from the time he was
old enough to talk at all. In due
season, he went to college and was
the champion orator there, besides
delivering the valedictory speech. But
even after all that and after he had
made "a great many political speeches,
IL did not occur TO Mr.. Bryan that he
had any extraordinary gift as a pub
lie speaker. He thought he was
simply a good OratOr-maybe a little
better than avera ge-and let il go at
that. He had no hope or eXpecta-
tons of getting anywhere on account
Of his Oratory. Then one day he
stumbled upon the fact that he could
sway audiences with his words. There
was no use being modest about it and
trying > make himself believe he did
not possess a rare gift of oratory. He
could see he had the gift and that was
all there was to il. The thing was as
plain as if he had stepped forth and
jumped higher than the worlds rec
ord
1t was a.ong about 1887 or 1883.
Bryan had gone to Lincoln. Neb., TO
practice law and was beginning TO
take active part in politics. He made
numerous speeches. but as | say, did
il as a matter Of course and never re-
garded himself as a wonder-worker
with his spoken words. one day he
went 10 make a speech at the town
OF Seward Neb. AS he talked along
il dawned on Mr.. Bryan that he was
holding his audiences attention rath-
er well-better than his own attention
was held by the average speaker. Like
a boy who has just found that he can
keep his balance on skates or sup
port himself in the water. Mr. Bryan
joyously began 10 make experiments.
He put in first one Oratorical stop and
then another and began TO run up and
down the scale. The results of the
experiment he found extremely fasci-
mating. Whenever he wished TO he
could bring his audience right up on
their toes. He could make them re-
lax or grow intense just as he saw
! fit. and he controlled their emotions
as completely as a child could con-
troll the actions of "A mechanical toy.
/ Then he ANONYMOUSLY or immOd-
estly as you prefer-that he really
\ was a first-class OratOr-that he had
/ gift beyond that of most men who
undertake TO make speeches.
A friend asked Mr. Bryan not long
ago how ne felt when he maze this
discovery.
Very grave. Very grave. indeed"
Mr.. Bryan is said 10 have replied.

I expressed to myself the earnest hope

cious than the one when ne found out
\ that he was able TO sway audiences.
IL was announced that a big political
