HSssilay 1swarddN > Conference Weakens

Paris, May 2S.-The hostility toward tthe international socialist conference shown at the opening meeting of the national council of the French socialist party has been considerably modified by the arrival of two Russian dele eatese Montet7and sCachin. M. Moutet tofd the council that the Russian socialists desire to call a regularly constituted meeting of the internation- al and suggested that the French so- cialists accept the proposal. at least in principle.
 M. Cachin said that while in Stock holm he had an interview with the Dutch and Scandinavian delegates, who handed him a long set of ques- tions which had been sent to the diff ferent socialist parties but which the French party had not yet received
 The questions covered the following points:
 Annexations and indemnities, the rifhts of peoples to dispose of their own destinies, the establishment of a league of nations through interna- tiona1 agreements concerning the free dom of the seas, colonies and kindred subjects, investigation into the re- sponsibflity for the war and ipterna- tionaa penalties to be inflicted on the guilty parties.
 The Dutch. and Scandinavian dele gates expect answers to be conveyed to them orally at Stockholm by dele gates from the different parties.

Some Tiahtwads.

'Tightwad" has crept into colloquial slang. It is even included in the dic- tionary, and it's meaning is obvious and we'll known. The man who can afford to spend money liberally and will not, though his companions set him the ex- ample, is scornfully referred to by that name. In the popular acceptation it is synonym for meanness. And yet his spending is somewhat accord ing to his temperament; he spends if the occasion seems to him proper and suitable. His purse opens if the object appeals to his tastes and inclinations unless he boards merely for the pur- pose of getting and keeping. To be economical, or at least to refuse to spend when others are spending just to be "a good fellow,'' is equivalent in many minds to being a tightwad And yet many man has surprised the com munity in which he lived by great charity or public gift, of lasting benefit to others, made possible by what his neighbors termed his "closefstedness. , Detroit Free Press.

Learn to Think on Your Feet.

It does not matter whether one
 wants to be public speaker or not, a
 person should have such complete con trol of himself, should be so self re- liant and self poised, that he can get up in any audience, no matter how large or formidable, and express his thoughts clearly and distinctly. h all ages oratory has been regarded as the highest expression of human achieve melt. Young people, no matter what they intend to be, whether blacksmith or farmer, merchant or physician, should make it study. Nothing else will call out what is in man more quickly and more effectively than the constant effort to do his best in speak ing before an audience When one un- dertakes to think on one's feet and speak extemporaneously before the public the power and the skill of the entire man are put to the severest test.
