Joan OF Arcs
Speech

The little man gave place with a
low bow, and amid much friendly ap-
p!ause, to Joan of Arc She was in
full armor-her face shining under
its helmet. When the applause which
greeted her stopped she said in clear,
loud voice:
Dear Friends: I see by the papers
that France is going to 'canonize me-
that is, l am to be made saint. l am
glad, my friends, that this honor has
not yet come to ME, for much as I ap-
preciate the tribute, had rather speak
to you all here tonight as a girl than
as a saint I want to thank you for
what you have done for my country
especially l want to thank the Ameri-
can women, for to them is our coun-
try's debt the greatest. had but one
life to give France; you had thousands
of lives to give; the moment when you
gave them was CO Of the great mo-
ments Of history
Jeanne's sword flashed in the moon
light and from q thousand American
throats came tho response:
"Vive la Francel"
The next speakers were the Herald
Square Laborers. They took turns
speaking, standing side by side and
looking very earnest.

his companion nervously.

4 Vein OF Sound Sense Under a
Cover OF Whimsical
Jest
By Winifred Duncan Ward

The first thrill Of excitement was
when the Library Lions rose quietly
from their pedcstas and trotted off
down the avenue. The crowd shrank
back in awe and admiration as their
huge forms doomed up in the moon
light.
Where are they going?" inquired
some one near me-
"They are going around to the Nor
gan Library" answered voice-a

Unfortunate
Accident


corded, for a commotion now arose in
regard to the next speaker, who was
Robins statue Of The Thinker.
he had been sitting motionless all
the evening at the bottom Of the steps,
chin in hand, and now, In spite of what
Mr.. Greeley had so optimistically stated,
the Thinker absolutely refused, it was
reported, to make speech.
The reason he gave was that after
thinking it over he had nothing to say
There was general CONSERVATION and
embarrassment among the speakers,
but the crowd howled with Joy at this
novelty in the programme, and began
throwing flowers and American flags
all over The Thinker
Good for you, old boy!" shouted
voice.
"Send him over to the peace con-
ference" yelled another, and this sug-
gestion SO upset and embarrassed The
Thinker (who really seemed not to
wish publicity, if such q thing is pos
sible in America) that he accidentally
put his foot on the Kewpie, which i'm
mediately began to howl at the top of
it's lungs.
AS Jeanne was in armor she could not
take him, 80 the Statue of Liberty was
obliged to do so, handing her torch to
James S. Stranahan, who. in his
turn, was obliged to ask Shakespeare
to hold his coat and top hat, which
that gentleman did with the greatest
good nature. The Kewpie's toe was
not seriously hurt, but it was thought
best to call physician. The nearest
was DR.. Simms, who stood on a ped
estal in the park behind the library;
and, although he had modcstly declined
to attend the meeting on the plea that
he was not sufficiently eminent, Miss
Diana was sent around the corner to
urge him to attend the Kewpie, and,
being utterly unable to resist her
wiles, he came, and, having done up
Kewpie's toe, remained. TO the graft
fication Of all concerned.
This little episode having ended
satisfactorily, the next speaker was an
nounced, and it was Horace Greeley,
tho venerable founder Of The New
York Tribune.
Fellow citizens,' he said, "it is a
great honor to be among you tonight,
in such distinguished company; and
what I want to say is very much in
line with what Mile. Jeanne here was
saying a moment ago. France and
America are bound together now with
the ties of blood as well as the ties of
friendship; our democracy has taken a
new turn in the light Of the world war
and in the light Of the peace con-
ference now in progress. No longer is
it democracy for America, but democ-
racy for the world. We all feel 1t; it's
in our blood: it's in the air; no tempo
rary revolutions, my friends, no tenn
porary discords, can stem the flow of
this great tide which is bearing US into
new worlds. In the industry, the
amusements, the public assemblages Of
every great city one feels this stir Of
new hopes, new affiliations, new
friendships. And the daily press
that great organ Of the peop1e-what
part is it going to play in the new
drama? Has it kept pace with the
times? Is the paper as vital a part
Of your daily life as the automat-as
the movies? 1t ought to be, my friends
If it isn't, there's something the mat
ter with it.

after dark alone"
Diana
Appears
Quite a crowd now gathered in the
centre Of the street, for it was rumored
that something was going to happen
up in the air. In a moment or so a
cheer went up. 1t was Miss Diana,
who, after much encouragement,
stepped off her tower at Madison
Square Garden and made a graceful
flight, landing upon the curbstone in
front of the fve-and- ten-cent store.
When General Sherman and Joan of
Arc rode down side by side from the
park, their horses nervous from their
long confinement, there was cheer
from many throats; but did not Join
IN 1T, for 4 was watching a quiet,
stopped figure which stood in the thick
of the jostling crowd quite near me.
1t was Abraham Lincoln. In spite of
his height the eager crowd surged and
pushed against him unnoticing. and l
leaned forward to beg him to take
refuge in my machine. AS I did so he
turned. so that the arc light shone
full into his kind and shining face,
which beamed upon the crowd with
such tenderness and good nature that
decided he liked being with them best.
So I never spoke to him after all, but
a few minutes later the same tall
figure slowly separated itself from the
crowd and could be seen deliberately
mounting the library steps. The groups
of statues, who had been gathering
from all over the city, parted at his
approach.
The meeting was opened by Horace
Greeley, who said:
Friends: During the three years
since this society was organized there
has been problem which we never
could solve. For, in spite Of the en-
thusiasm with which all our members
have worked for the success Of our
undertaking, there was one question
upon which we never could agree, and
that was the question Of speeches. The
statues. one and all, refused to make
speeches on the grounds that they
were too shy or that they couldn't
think Of anything to say.
II found it necessary to remind our
members, and to remind them forcibly,
that they are not here as statues, and
that they were not being asked to
speak as statues. They were being
asked to speak as the representatives
Of beings greater than themselves.
whose opinions and whose thoughts
we're, and still are, valuable public
property. ! pointed out that the op-
portunity to make these addresses
should be embraced as duty and as
an honor.
"It therefore gives me great salts
faction to announce, that upon this,
our third annual meeting, all Of the
eighteen members asked to speak ac-
cepted without protest. (Applause.)
81 have here a telegram from the
Statue Of Liberty. Yegretting that
the arrival of two transports from
France in the harbor tonight will
make it impossible for her to leave
her post. She has, however, sent her
representative from the Automobile
and Tire Company, on upper Broadway,
whom we are glad to welcome into our
midst. The first speaker OF tho cven-
ing will be the Library Lions, who are,
respectively, the treasurer and secre-
tary of our organization"
The lions rose upon their pedestals
and bowed.

ten my opera glasses, and I took thc

Is it Possible to Legislate
Life and Brains?

Swift & Company is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and useful
ness are only outward
symbols of the intelli-
gence, life long expert
ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it.
Will not Government direc-
ton Of the packing industry,
now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex-
perience and devotion Of these
men. which is the life itself of
the Industry
What legislation, what politi-
cal adroitness could replace such
life and brains, once driven out2
