Battery b, Field Artillery District Ma
tional Guard. plunged into work in eSTn-
est last week when the first ordered as
sembly since the organization Of the
new battery was held. The men were
equipped from head TO foot with new
service uniforms, and made a very neat
appearance at drill The only part OF
their equipment lacking is the new field
guns, which are on the way from Frank
fort arsenal and are expected to reach
Washington very soon.
At meeting Of Battery B Club sew
eral spirited speeches were made by club
officers in putting forth the aims and
ambitions of the club and the battery.

in the Military League and Corporal
McGrath WAS elected captain. He has
ordered practice during the coming week
for all candidates. The secretary OF

according to a report by the special COM
mittee for this purpose. II is planned
to have a club room where the men,
bers Of the battery can congregste at

pers, have been donated by officers and
men of the battery and a few officers
of the regular army. A Victrola will be

Gen. Harvey was q visitor to Bat
terry b last week. and said that the
quartermaster's room was the most
modern that he has ever seen in any
National Guard organization. The
credit for this room is due Fred C

lar army.

Most political speakers have noticed know
and apparently very little about the art of
speaking. Lack of preparation often leads them
to making speeches that have no definite begin
ming or middle or end. They ramble on catching
at one topic going on to another in the most
slp-shod and haphazard way. Then too they are
careless about managing their voices. They pay
little attention to the laws of speaking
In this regard Debs is political orator that
has skill He knows, for example, the value of the
pause He does not pour his words into his au-
dience in jumbled mass. He carefully separates
them, and he lets each bit of thinking sink in.
Several Of political leaders apparently be-
lieve that they ought to place their chief reliance
upon noise. But, matter of fact in speaking,
noise is of little value. strong voice is not
necessary to fill even large hall. Far more inl-
portant is voice that is adroity managed Ono
Of the most powerful of our campaigners display
ed habit that he ought to have corrected many
years ago. of dropping his voice at the end of each
sentence on the very words that gave his sentence
ITS meaning. Naturally most of his points were
lost. save by those in the first few rows
Something ought to be said against the practice
ings One sympathize with the real zeal of
the poor parents who cannot endure being kept at
home and forced to miss opportunity of hear
ing speech lecture, but the consequences are
hard on speakers and on audiences A single wall
can upset the greatest of orators.
When distinguished social reformer SPOKE last
spring he delivered of the ablest of his lectures
IN the teeth Of violent opposition from an infant
held IN the arms of mother in the first row. He
displayed patience such as he had never been
credited with by the public. Afterward some one
asked him why he had not insisted on the infants
in great awe Of child" he replied In this in
stance his awe must have causeh him much agony.
It was an awe, not unmixed with terror, shared by
all public speakers.

Some Public Speakers.
by JOHN n, HARRY.

VI late have been hearing political speeches
by men of distinction. In few instances they
have been remarkably good In several other in
stances they have been so poor that they would
have been discreditable to schooIboy No mat
ter what their qualities were | noticed that the
speeches received with enthusiasm. The
listeners were evidently determined to be pleased
They applauded rapturously. Indeed it seemed as
if the poorest speeches won the heartiest approval
This experience set me to thinking. When peo-
pie go to hear speeches what do they look forward
to hearingi Is it not, rule, to the expression
OF opinions they alseady agree with, There are
few of us who would think of deliberatelys listen
ing to speaker that disagreed with us so that we
might become familiar with his views and decide
whether might not be in the wrong
Most of the enthusiasm in political meetings
has very little to do with the ability of the speak
ers. 1t results almost wholly from the coinciding
of the speakers opinions with the opinions of the
audience.
A friend who happened to be associated with
distinguished speaker told me that, before going
on the PLATFORM, the orator apparently made no
preparation whatever. On the contrary there was
complete reliance platform inspiration which
often did not come. In this instance the orator
trusted almost wholly to the sympathy Of his au-
dence. He was completely Indifferent to his repu-
tation. Not once, according to my informant, did
his listeners fail to give him enthusiastic support
And yet several Of his speeches almost con-
temptible. mere shreds and patches from speeches
made before or from talks the train!
1t is curious to note the tolerance ox Audiences
particularly at political meetings II speaker is
distinguished they will put up with almost any
thing in the way of speech. Perhaps, after all
what they care most about is seeing and hearing
the speaker Often it is plain that many of them
come, not because they wish to hear a speech but
to satisfy a personal curiosity. They have been
reading about this great man or that He has be-
come identified in their mind with important
events. So they must get a personal impression
At one large political gathering, where cele-
brated man had been announced to speak, few
minutes after he began one-third of the audience
proceeded to file out. Naturally the speaker be-
came very nervous. He cast distracted looks over
the auditorium. He spoke more rapidly perhaps
in the hope of making stronger appeal. Still
those people kept departing. 1t looked as if, in
few minutes, few would be left After a while he
stopped and whispered to the, chairman. What
is the matter? Am talking too long," The
chairman assured him that he had not talked half
long enough and begged him to go on. The truth
was that the curiosity seekers had been satisfied
and were not courteous enough to sit through
When they had gone the rest of the audience set
tied down and listened without further disturb
ance.
