Fervid Oratory Gets Praise from Dan

plauded for its eloquence Mr.. Farrell's dis
comfiture increased. He felt that he had
failed to rise to the occasion.
Before the next convention he had moved
TO Atlanta, and knowing that he was going
to attend he began work on his speech about
six months in advance of the meeting.
The same procedure was gone through
with at the banquet. About the same men
were present Finally the toastmas ster said
Georgia, the Empire State of the South
Mr.. Daniel 4. Farrell"
Everybody remembered and grinned.
Mr.. Farrell arose. He calmly and delib-
erately surveyed his audience leaned with
his left arm on the back of his chair, and
waved his right hand in the direction OF the
Toastmaster Here is the way he started
"Mr. Toastmaster. ] love Georgia. Her
fields are more fertile than the Valley of the
Nile, her mountains grander than the SOL
emnty of the Alps; her sons are braver
than the legionares OF imperial Caesar,
and her daughters are fairer than Helen OF
Troy"
There was a lot more to II, and Dan
warmed up TO his subject as he went along
and spoke right well of Georgia before he
finished but that was the way he started
When he finished, he paused before resum-
ing his seat, and calmly said, Now let
some scoundrel laugh"
Well ever since then Dan Farrell has been
upon He went to the meeting as a plain
spoken business man He returned to
Georgia as public speaker.

the wife and wouldn't of stood for that
of course. What mean is that the bottom
OF Pansys instep- no, the top of her skirt
oh shucks, she wanted Pansy to wear long
skirts, that's what she wanted.
The old lady used to worry more about our
troubles than we did ourselves so naturally
it took a load off of her mind too
Then Aunt Lizzie came down and the
plaster fell on her. 1t isn't no laughing mat
ter, or else you could make joke and say
the plaster came down as we'll as Aunt Lizzie.
We were just setting down to nice supper
of frankfurts and sauerkraut, Aunt LiZZies
favorte dessert, when the kid sneezed. We
told her time and time again she shouldn't
do that. ever since the night coughed and
Jared couple of feet of ceiling loose. You
know how kids are, though they always
pick the wrong time to do thngs-say swear
words before the minister and things like
that.
Well, sir, no sooner did Pansy sneeze than
I bet half the ceiling came down on Aunt
Lizzie It wasn't the seven stitches they
had to take in her bean that she minded, but
the darn plaster fell in her soup and splashed
it all over her brown alpaca, and Aunt Lizzie
thought more of that brown alpaca than she
did of her scalp, and when she came to and
saw the soup-and it happened to be one
of Elias particularly oily soups-all over
her front, she set up one yowl and passed
out for another half hour.
Well you know how women are when
The New York herald., 1921-11-20

they get money Suspicious of everybody.
Think everybody is plotting and scheming
to get it. She said we fixed it so the plaster
would fall. Well, afterward when I got to
thinking about it and decided that it was a
pretty rough crack to make, told Ella was
sorry I didn't think in time and give Aunt
Lizzie a real wallop with piece of the plas-
would have got the dough- without any
strings being tied on Pansy's hair. or skirts
So she went home and Pansy started a
hullabaloo because she'd set her heart on
going to the I. G. S.
That was how Elias mother and me came
to agree about the plastering being needed.
Well, the dining room looked like a cross
between Uncle Toms Cabin and the Wreck
of the Phosphorus. Every time the woman
upstairs ran the carpet sweeper over the
floor we had to run and hide beneath the
table. We lost quite a lot of time that way
too because the dame upstairs was neat as
a pin. The piece that fell on Aunt Lizzie
started the rest of the ceiling going, or COM
ing, and you never could tell when you were
going to get beaned with a lump of plaster.
So along about the middle of September
Pincus, the landlord, came In with a new
lease in one hand and smile in the other
I mean on his map. He explained about the
high cost of labor, coal, janitors, elevator
men, electricity, gas, tutti frutti ice cream
and misses and children's fall suitings, and
then told us that owing to all these thing

w TE'VE just been plastered The wife
\A/ was bound and determined, had
w her mind Get on it, and when Ella
sets her bean working on a notion the
notion has got no more chance of not COM
ing true than Christmas has Of coming on
Ash Wednesday.
Well, I'll say Ella was right. She amt
right often-anyway not when she dis
agrees with me-but on the proposition of
getting plastered she had the dope cinched
like the fellow that played Man o. War for
place. Even her mother admitted We needed
plastering and that was the first time she
and me agreed since the night Pansy Olivia
was born and we both agreed she was girl
The only thing that made the old lady
agree about the plastering was the accident
to Aunt Lizzie Phamm the time she came
down from Gloversville to spend week and
take in the Hippodrome and Riverside Drive
on a bus. You see Aunt Lizzie has SOCK
full salted away in a bank up in Gloversville.
She was a forelady in a glove factory up
there from the time old man Glover started
the town until she got well along in her eigh-
ties and figured she might as well start en-
joying herself.
What with bonuses and pensions and stock
and saving her dough, she not having no
husband to support she raked in enough
ducats TO made BrddStreet rate her way up
with the bootleggers and bankers. From
the time she first heard about Pansy Olivia
she always said that if she lived til Pansy
got her growth she would send her to
choice of three colleges, to wit, Vassar, Ober-
lin or the I. G. S.
This took quite load off Elias and my
mind even though Aunt Lizzie kept saying
that Pansy wouldn't get a Buffalo nickel IL
she ever bobbed her hair, used paint and
powder or wore skirts up above her instep.
7 don't mean Aunt Lizzie wanted Pansy not
to wear any skirts at all above her instep

Asst night we received instructions
from one of these new voters, whose

we were more than repaid for our physical
labors
OF course a great deal of native intel
ligence is required to open successfully a
can of corn. The next thing to do after
securing a firm grip on the can opener IS
to thoroughly digest what is written on the
label One can obtain a vast amount of
valuable information from the labels on cans.
AS an instance here is what was on the label
Of the can OF corn we opened last night:
This corn is golden. The golden sunshine

Pansy said the fellows name wasn't Ban at
ALL but Pan, and he played cornet instead
OF an accordion.
But that didn't make the Chamber of Hor-

the Rebel in Bans Garden; it just looked to
me like the colors had ran on a checker
board.
But we did have the Chamber of Horrors

we needn't worry any more about eating our

N/ The place looks the same as it

years ago. We wonder if on that childhood
visit we acted like that little boy over there
to our left who is being led out by his
mother. "Mommer!" he is crying, buy me
a hshr''
"Shush you silly boy!" she shushes. THE
fish are not for sale"
Then buy me a turtle or a lizard" is
what he will say in reply If he is resource
full. But no. He sticks to his cry OF "Mom-
mer, buy me a fish,"
Pepper will catch you fish sometime, ="
says mommer.
We hope that won't fool the kid Even II
his pepper can catch n hsh-which we doubt
we question his ability to bring it home
alive. And what fun can feller have try
ing to make a dead fish swim in the bath
tub?
The kid is unconvinced. He doesn't say so
in so many words but his plaintive cry OF
"Mommer. buy me a fishi"-(what a joyous
refrain for a balad!)- continues Mommer
solves the problem by promising to buy him
a fish some other time. IT takes a lot OF
money, she explains. and she'll have to go
home for it, If we had the nerve we'd Offer
her the money. We'd love to see that kid
get his fish, AS long as she didn't buy our
whale we wouldn't mind The kid doesn't
need it; he'll get whaled when he gets home.
Well. having seen a kid blubber we shall
proceed TO see whale blubber. Here's a uni
formed attendant Where are the whales?"
we are about to ask him when it occurs T.
us that anyone ought to be able to find
without assistance, as big a fish as whale
or is II an animal?
Here we arc in the center OF the main
floor. What is that grunting we hear? The
sea lions. There are two of 'em. Why do
they grunt? Lions, we thought roared
And where are their names? Nature puz-

~ RAToRY is a great gift. 1t has the
power to change overnight the ma
- ture OF a man who yields to its spell,
Here is a story that illustrates the point.
1t tells of the making OF an orator: Some
years ago our old friend Daniel A. Farrell,
who lives down i'm Atlanta, attended a meet
ing of the Master Plumbers Association.
Now he had always been merely business
man and had never attempted anything in
the speechmaking line.
The consequence was that when he found
himself at the banquet Of the association in
Cleveland he was very much disconnected to
learn that representative from every State
would be required to respond when the name
Of his State was called He was resident
of Birmingham at the time. and as Alabama
is the first name alphabetically on the list
OF States Dan had TO make the first speech.
He was the only representative from Ala
bama.

this.
Mr. Toastmaster, am very glad to be
with you tonight I have enjoyed the con-
vention, and--and-and thank you"
He sat down, amid the grins of the rep
resentatives from other States. Then the
oratory started, and as each speech was APP

Ella always does the talking to anybody.

Then Pincus explained about the labor,

again.
Then Ella and Pincus went TO the mat and
