AMERICAN VOICE ALL RIGHT
Needs Only Cultivation to Be A. Beau
tiful ~ That Of Any Other
People.

Some Of these critics have maintain
ed that, owing to our abnormally
changeable climate, we are all, in
some degree, sufferers from catarrh.
so that our national nose Is in q
chronic state Of mo thorOughfare"-
hence our high-pitched and nasal
tones. This explanation is hardly to
be taken seriously, and l, for one, do
not believe that we are more catarrh-
al people than are the inhabit-
ants of any other country with
in the north temperate zone. Our
American winters, so full of bright
sunshine and bracing air, are. despite
the sudden changes in temperature
and the occasional severe storms, quite
as healthful, am sure, as the dank,
sunless winters of London, Paris,
Milan and Berlin.
The American voice is not inherent
ly Tor catarrhally) nasal or unmusical,
but it is certainly crude and unculti-
waited. Its disagreeable qualities are
due to our generally slovenly utterance
and in our neglect of mere technique
of speech. Under cultivation our
voices are as beautiful as any. Our
best actors. few public speakers, like
w. J. Bryan and President Eliot, and
our singers in every opera-giving coun.
try furnish ample proof Of this asser.
ton. As a people, we are lamentably
careless In our speech. Our restless
busy lives drive from our minds the
impulse for self-culture that would
lead us to train intelligently the mech
anism Of vocal expression.
"Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and
low-an excellent thing in woman
because the tones Of the voice betoken
ed the lovely qualities Of tenderness
| unselfishness and humility. No organ
Of the body Is more indicative Of char
acter and mental states than 10 the
voice. A melodious voice attracts us:
a strident voice repels US. A strain oil
sentiment creeps into our voice, and
our hearers sense at once the feeling
behind 1t. A shadow in the voice, and
instinct straightway guesses the Turk
ing insincerity or falsehood. A friend
OF mine maintains that he can read
character correctly at the first hear
ing Of voice.-Scribner's Magazine.

EXCELLENT WALL STREET TIP

have noticed during quarter Of
O century's observations, that when
all the financial writer's are proclaim
ing the merits of a particular stock.
and, at the same time insiders, who
are supposed to know all about it,
are pointing out its good points, in
creasing earnings, ETC., somebody
stands waiting to sell, Jasper" writes
in Leslie's. have also noticed that,
when q stock advances, day by day
or week by week, without anything be-
ing said in explanation, or without
any effort being made to attract at
tention to 1t. there must be something
worth while" going on. especially If
transactions in that stock be large.
Perhaps some Of my observant read.
ers have noticed the same peculiari-
ties of the stock market.
1t Is perfectly natural that when one
wants to sell his goods he must ex-
toll their merits and that II he wants
to buy q property he should 60 about
it quietly, and II he has knowledge of
its merits should say a. little as pos.
sible about them until he has COM
pleted the purchase. The same mo
tives and principles that move men
to buy and sell commodities Of any
kind inspire men and movements in
Wall street.
For this reason I have advised my
readers who wish to be successful in
specializing, not to take tips so freely
given by those who have their own
purposes to serve, but to note with
care the operations of the market and
news that has bearing on the values
of securities. do not mean by this
the rumors that financial writer's and
tipsters give out, but the real news
found in official reports Of declining
or increasing earnings and the state
ments required by law, to be made
and sworn to.

poor, crushed body Of the little jap
required all his attention. He laid
him tenderly on his own bed and sent
for the best doctors he knew. Until
they came he could not leave.
AT last he was at liberty to 60. But
at the police station he was told that
Elise had been allowed to 20. Her
father had signed the bond for her
temporary freedom and taken her
home.
Mckellar turned YEARLY away. The
feeling Of relief at finding her free

sense OF his uselessness to her. He
was not needed. He never had been.
Elise had home as good, better than

cient protector. 1t was true, she did
not need him.
he learned at the station that she
was driving her car alone when 1t ran
over the Jap. Why she was without
a chauffeur he did not know. Then the
feeling Of uneasiness returned. What
if Truro should die! It would be un-
pleasant for her. The old feeling of
responsibility, of wanting to protect
her was strong in him,
He bowed to the inevitable, and
when he opened his own door again
he looked like an old man.
The doctors had gone. Truro lay
sleeping quietly. He was unconscious
of pain. Vivian sat near watching
him. He had refused to have a nurse.
The little fellow who had sat night
after night watching him while he
tossed with fever at Port Arthur and
nursed him back to life should know
