Eloquence is the ability to seize the

make it sit up and bark. This is
great and rare accomplishment, and

America has produced a great guam
tity of eloquent citizens who earned
good living by being able to throw
our language three times out of five
and throttle it into a state of submis-
sion. Patrick Henry, of Virginia, was
one of the first Americans to discover
the power of eloquence to shatter pref
udice and loosen wallpaper. He was a
tall, thin man with q protruding fore
head and history relates that during
his short life he had roped and tied
more long, difficult words which other
speakers refused to tackle than any
orator of his day. Henry Clay also be-
lieved in the use of eloquence. and dis
tributed large gobs of the same about

1t will take more than the assurances
OF Lord Beresford, or any other single
British admiral or peer, to make the
world believe that the British navy
could have ended the war by a strict
blockade of German ports. The strict
est blockade would not have checked
the extension of German victories to
the East, where great supplies have
been obtained. Ii the navy could have
done 50 much, it is not too hate now

what they can do.

street-sweeping. There is nothing that
will get a man votes in this country
quicker than a rude form of native
eloquence which does not have to rely
upon familiarity with the subject under
discussion. 1t is fascinating sight to
see an enthusiastic candidate for Con-
gress with massive feet and menacing
sldeburns scattering rough, unhewn elo-
quence and mispronounced words over
the heads of an engrossed proletariat,
ever and anon reaching into a glass
water pitcher and drinking therefrom
IN noisy and unrepressed manner.
Eloquence is much more effective
when illustrated by impromptu ges-
lures. One of our greatest gesture
manufacturers is the Rev. Billy Sun
day, who can expound the ninth chap
ter of Amos with one hand and remove
a boiled shirt with the other. Mr. Sun
day lacks the stately, andante elo-
quence of the late Dan Webster.
using a style that reminds one more
of freight engine backing into ear
of plate glass, but he achieves results
and freewill offerings with remarkable
success. Let US learn from this to stick
to our own style of eloquence and use
gestures with which we are familiar.
