VARIETIES OF APPLAUSE.
But There 10 No Mistakins the osnu-
| inc, spontaneous Oferina.

But There " No Mistaking the 0enu.
inc, Spontaneous Offering.
With nearly every successful address
applause plays leading part There
are several varieties Of applause. The
common variety Is the perfunctory
handclap-a poor, weak contribution
which makes a butterfly look long liv-
ed In comparison. A second variety Is
the charity Offering Of an audience to
the oratoricai beggar.
The speaker ends profound declara-
ton with a pause which is next door
to an open declaration OF war II the
audience doesn't come across. or he
works himself up In series Of mental
paroxysms which impel the auditors
to rush to his rescue before 1t Il too
late. All spellbinders pocket this va
riety OF applause as real coin OF
course 1t Is nothing Of the kind.
The genuine issue In laudation Is a
spontaneous and volcanic eruption of
approval and delight 1t blows out VIC
lently from the subterranean fires Of
folk, and when 1t has reached it's eli
max there comes suddenly and gor-
geously from the midst Of it a second
and more terrific explosion. and as this
Is reaching its highest point q third
and seismic spasm rockets up through
bedlam and overwhelms everything
and everybody. This is the real thing
1t cannot be made to order. and 1t can
not be counterfelted. The prearranged
outbursts at national political conven-
lions following the nominations are
pitiable attempts to manufacture It.
Claques ind coteries Of devotees try
occasionally to produce 1t mechanical
ly. They never do successfully.
All veteran speakers know 1t, and
having experienced 1t, live on In the
bright expectancy Of the golfer who
has accidentally driven 275 yards and
believes that any minute 1t Is liable to
be done again. There are many COM
munities which have never witnessed
such scene. They never Will For
