his own mind he must vision the object
spoken as though it were really there. His
face must register his emotions: in short,
he must feel and act the part of the char
acter which he is describing; and impress
the vision which he conceives upon the
minds of his auditors, altering his tone of
voice to correspond to his own emotions.
While addressing an audience, do not
become Aippant, desultory, or rambling.
Such methods are akin to farmer stand
ing upon his house-top and shooting his
seeds at his field with pea-shooter! His
hearers cannot and will not take him
seriously.
Never attempt to impress your audience
with your own importance; nor talk
cover their heads" but use language which
even the humblest will not fail to under
stand! You will impress only the veriest
imbecile with your vain-glorious speech.
An extremely illiterate old lady once heard
such a speech couched in high-sounding
terms, generously interspersed with Latin,
Greek, and foreign words, and at the lec-
lures close, she gasped in awe-"Land
Sakes! That speaker is an ALFRED smart
man. never understood word he said!"
While his more intelligent hearers very
rightly appraised him as very snobbish
and vain "fop-head!"
Calm, quiet dignity, is the best asset for
an orator to cultivate; but above all else,
be earnest! A speaker-be he politician,
lawyer, preacher or priest-who does not
put his whole soul into his address, dis
course, or sermon, is like miller who
operates his mill without putting grain
into his hopper. He will get no grist!
An audience is quick to perceive whether
a speaker is deadly in earnest and really
means and believes what he says, or is
merely human phonograph reeling off a
sterotyped message. To pharaphrase Lin
coins saying-"You might film fam part

BASEBALL

Saturdays scheduled base ball game
between the Gordon & Ferguson ball
tossers from St. Paul and the local squad,
developed right off the reel into pitchers
battle between Bur-, for the locals and
Luck for the visitors, with the honors be-
ing more or less in favor of Luck through
out the entire contest of seven innings.
Luck allowed only two hits, struck out
nine and issued three free tickets, while
Bur, allowed six hits, issued four free
tickets and struck out four. The game
however, was decidedly good one being
fought out to deadlock-3-ALL: The
locals coming from behind in the latter
stages of the game and tying up the count.
The game was thrilling affair all the
way. There were number of sensational
catches and stops made that kept the fans
in continuous uproar.
The local baseball squad was guilty of
four misplays which materially aided the
visitors to two of their counters while the
Gordon & Ferguson outfit committed three
errors that was responsible for all the
local runs.
The visitors counted one marker in the
third round when Luck was given free
transportation, reached second ON Shu's
error and scored on Lannigan's three base
smash to right. Lannigan was thrown
out at the platter when he tried to stretch
the hit into home run. In the fourth
round, SEEMING recorded another marker
unassisted. After he had given one chance
of being put out on a high foul fly back
of the plate and was given life on an
error, he slapped one of Bur's slants to
the extreme left garden for four bases.
One more run was recorded in the sixth
round coming by the way of free ticket,
a stolen base and a single.
In the opening chapters of the game,
the local sluggers were begging for hits.
The first four batters to face the "luck-
less! Luck, retired by the strikeout route
without smelling of the ball. They were
held hitless for five frames but it was in
the fourth round when they hung up their
first marker. Shu led off with a scream
ing smash to right that looked like home
run wallop. But Huna, the guard of
that garden, being extremely feet of foot
got under the ball and then dropped it,
making palpable error and robbing Shu
of a three base hit. Eos. dumped one that
brought the necessary results, scoring Shu
on Bur's out at first. In the last of the
sixth frame the locals tied the score and
at the same time they were in a fair pos
ition to step out in front. Myr led the
attack by beating out bunt for a hit.

SCOUTS AT WINTER CAMPS

A big thought In scouts minds at
this time is winter camping. Camping
with its health-giving work and play
is so vital a part of a scouts activi-
ties, that the keen frosty air only
serves to enhance the joy of life out
of-doors.
Six hundred and fifty scouts Of
Greater New York spent the holidays
at the big Bear Mountain camp. The
program consisted of scouting's COM
binatlon of out-of-doors work and edu-
cational training. The days routine
was as follows:
700 a. m. reveille, 7:05 a. m. calls
themes, 500 a. m. breakfast (hot
pancakes) ETC., 8 100 a. m. to IL 100 a.
m. instruction and games, II 100 noon
dinner Dipping ho), 1 100 p. m. to 2 100
p. m. rest period; 200 p. M. to 100
p. m. competitive games, hockey, skat-
ing, toboganning, snowshoeing, skiing,
etc.; 5 80 p. m. mess, Z 100 p. IN. camp
fire, 9 100 p. m. taps.
In Chicago the Kiwanis club of En-
glewood, Hyde Park and Woodlawn
have furnished two cabins in the
forest preserves not far from the city.
On the site is an artificial lake amid
beautiful rustic surroundings. The
Kwanis officials have turned over
"the keys Of the preserves" to the
scout officials for the use of the boys.
Ames Qowa) council prepared a
Christmas vacation camp for its hard
as flint" campers. The forest ranger
in charge of the state park where the
boys camped, requested the scouts to
assist him in the establishment of new
trails, in marking these and the ex-
isting trails, in clearing brush from
the scenic points, and in maintaining
feeding stations for the wild life
which is abundant in the park
Besides these camps, hundreds Of
others will be conducted during the
winter and attended by the sturdy
scouts bent on making themselves
strong and fit for present and future
citizenship and service.
