'T think the reason which explains
the deterioration in public speaking
which has been so remarkable a
characteristic of the United States
in the past fifteen or twenty years
is to be found in the use of manu-
scripts" said Chauncey NJ. Depew to
me at time when he was speaking
reminiscently of some OF the great
orators of the United States whom
he had heard and many OF whom he
knew personally.
"I have heard 1t said that the best
address which Ralph Waldo Emerson
ever made was an extemporaneous
eulogy which was delivered at a ban
quet held in commemoration OF Rob-
ert Burns. Emerson really had his
manuscript or notes before him, but
they were concealed and he took fur
tive glances at them so sltilfully that
almost all OF those who heard him
thought he was speaking extempo-
raneously.
mo man should undertake to
make an extemporaneous address un-
less he has carefully prepared 1t be-
forehand. Some men can in such
preparation fix the general outline
Of the address thoroughly In mind
so that it is not necessary to hold
up manuscript between the speakers
lips and the hearers eyes. While
have a good memory for events. I
have not good verbal memory.
always prepare my addresses and
rand them over carefully befora do
livering them, but I do not pretend
TO follow my prepared manuscript
exactly as 1t was written.
There is no mental endeavor like
oratory to illustrate the various
phases of memory. Az said, my
verbal memory is not good. but my
memory of facts and events and for
incidents with which have been as
ISOLATED is always fresh and at my
immediate command.
Now take, on the other hand some

Il wish 1 could sing; I think I'd
feel weller then" said a little seven
year-old lad in Bellevue Hospital,
New York, while a surgeon was ex-
aiming him to find what injuries he
had sustained in a fall into an exca-
walton twelve feet deep.
All right, laddie; You can sing If
you sing something NICE" said
kind-hearted Dr. Mclean.
The little fellow began to sing, in
a high, clear, soprano, Nearer, My
God to Thee" AS the childish notes
rang out, nurses. doctors and at
tendants from various parts of the
hospital began to steal in," until
there were fully 100 people in the
room.
well, 1 guess you are all right,
little man." said the doctor, as he
finished his examination; 81 can't find
any broken bones"
II guess it was the singin' that
fixed me-" replied the boy. II al
ways sing when l feel bad"
If We grownups would do as this
little chap did-sing when we feel
bad" no matter what our loss or mis-
fortune or trouble--we would certain
~ feel weller
If we cannot always SO control our
moods as to be really happy, we can
always appear cheerful. This is a
duty we owe ourselves and society.
1t is a sin to go about radiating mem
tai poison, the poison of discourage
ment, of gloom, the poison of worry
and anxiety. 1t is weak to go about
the world. wearing mourning in our
expression. 1t is sin to peddle this
gloom and dependency. We owe 1t
to the world and to ourselves to scat
ter sunshine; to appear at our best,
not at our worst. 1t is even more
harmful to ourselves than to others
to go about wearing funereal ex-
preston.
No matter what encouragement or
disappointment you may be strug
Cling with, cover it, hide it, bury it;
always wear a cheerful face. Don't
hang out the black flag; hoist bright
and cheerful colors. Just say to your
self, Whatever misfortune comes to
me, 1t cannot conquer my indomin-
able spirit. No matter what sorrow
may be gnawing at my heart, / Will
go through the world with a good
front, with cheerful face. No ono

Too Much for Politics

The members of the Northern Re-
publican Club are considering Sc
riously a suggestion that they
change the monogram on the win
dows of the clubhouse at 1877 Belle
vile avenue. The window decora-
tons are the clubs initials. IN. r.
c." in monogram form, so that the
sequence of the initials Is doubtful.
Several stanch Republicans from
the southern part of the city were
invited to attend the reception to
Mayor-elect Thomas L. Raymond
given by the club Monday night.
They found 1877 Belleville avenue,
the address of the club, and were
about to enter when one of them
saw the monogram on the window.
Then they backed out.
Here, this's the wrong place." the
observant one said. This is Ma

Where the Money Went

Mysterious channels through which
ssets of many bankrupts disappear
were being discussed by a group OF
lawyers They were attending hear
ing before Judge Thomas g. Haight
on the proposed settlement of mer-
chant who had gone on the financial
rocks,
Nearly all the explanations offered
by crooked bankrupts are as credible
as Sam Johnson's." said J. Henry
Harrison, one of the lawyers present.
Sam johnson was colored gentle
man and pillar in the church he
attended IN Georgia. Besides being
a pillar l.e was a deacon and one of
his duties was to take up the collec-

For a month the collections APP

The Senate is IN an inquisitive

sponsibility for the proper filing of
Offices of specified grades. With him

it the power Of confirmation. If con-
frmation is denied, the nomination
fails.
1t Is wise provision, and safe
guards the public service at the top.
Made thus an adviser of the Presi-
dent, the Senate should examine all
appointments with the utmost care
and have the courage TO act accord
