Speech

81 like a man who will cross his
legs and have his talk out" said the
venerable DR.. johnson.
Speech is one of the agencies by
which we make known our thoughts
1t is not the only agency of convey
ing thought, but it is the most con-
venient.
We learn to speak before we learn
to write; and only a few ever pos
sess the faculty of explaining them
selves on paper.
Speech has been evolved by man for
his convenience, comfort and safety.
Speech is neither static nor fixed;
it is growth. That which is useful is
retained, and that which is waste is
cast off.
The evolution of speech from the
grunt to the word or sentence is par
allel to the evolution of man from the
lower organization.
By means of speech we explain, en-
large, illustrate, solve, describe, de-
fine-and conceal!
1t enables man to unfold himself to
man.
1t brings to light what is buried in
the dark depths of the Unspoken.-
Jackson, Miss, News.
The above elucidation of the mean
ing of speech" is highly instructive
as well as entertaining. Adding to
what the gifted editor, Frederick
Sullens, has said, a world of thought
could be evolved about the Unspoken.
The most powerful effect is often
produced by what is left unsaid The
psychology of the Unspoken is one
of Gods mysterious forces. One
may often accomplish more through
the unspoken word than with vol
ume of speech. "Silence is golden"
is an old adage. So it is. "The wait
ing game" is common form of Win
ming victories. Men who heedlessly
talk are not nearly so strong of mind
as the silent man. The blusterer in
variably Injuries his cause, and here
is where it pays to wait. 1t is never
wise to go off half cooked
Invariably the man who waits wins
over the man who talks.
The Unspoken is a realm of mystic
magic. The man or nation that has
learned the art of silence is uncon-
sciously welding the force govern
ing all advancement of civilization.
The Unspoken! Is it not what we dc
not say that gets US along?

Amusement Park
Will Keep Open
Through Septembe,

The first week in September finds
no lack of interest on the part of the
vast crowd who make the Palisades
Amusement Park their playground, as
the mammoth resort is the scene of
a gay throng every day and night.
Bathing in the big pool is as pop
ular as ever, in fact the aquatic
sports declare September as the real
swimming mouth inasmuch as the
water championships are held by i'm
portant clubs within the next two
weeks. This applies to the program
of Palisades Amusement Park as
Nicholas Schenck has extended the
courtesy of the pool to the A. A. U.
Commissioners, A. Harry Moore and
Thomas Cassidy, who have charge of
the amateur swimming meet of the
Hudson county swimmers. This
promises to be the largest water show
ever attempted by the members of
the Athletic Union, as over three
hundred boys have entered the pre-
liminary events, which are being
held every week at the various baths
through the Hudson County cities.
The exact date of the finale has not
been definitely settled owing to the
officials being unable to determine
when they will finish the prelimina-
ries, but it is understood that day
will be set next week and made pub
lie in ample time for those who are
interested in the young swimmers eff
forts to make arrangements to at
tend.
1t has long been the custom with
managers of outdoor amusement re-
sorts to end the season with Labor
Day, but the popularity of the play
ground atop the Palisades calls for
an extended season, and Mr.. Schenck
will continue to operate his resort
indefinitely.

He was once attacked by infamatory

to burst into tears sometimes as she
