REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have

Won One Vote.

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, in eXcusing himself from max
Ing a speech on the ground that he was
no orator, told an amusing anecdote at
a luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. 1t
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by abiding frankly to his
lack of %oratorical gifts. After he had
finished a man pushed forward, grasp

"Senhor, I've been a lifelong oppo-
nent of yours, but at the coming cleo
ton I shall vote for YOU"
"Thank YOU" said Costa, much graf
flied. MAY l ask the particular rea-
son for your change of views?"
Because you are the first speaker
on either side that / have heard tell
the truth" was the reply. you said
when you began that you couldn't
make much of a speech, and by heav-
ems, senior, you can't"
