If any of the Athenian friends Of
the youthful Demosthenes had fore
told that he would become the most
famous orator not only in Greece
but Of all history, the prediction
would have moved those who heard
it to derisive laughter.
"a great orator, indeed" they
would have replied. "Why, Demos
themes is the least likely lad In all
Athens for public speaking. Look at
him! He is puny, spindling fell
low. He is clumy and awkward, and
one shoulder is higher than the 9TH
err. His voice is thin and weak, and
he has an impeachment in his speech"
But a great orator Demosthenes
was determined to be, and a great
orator he became. Even to this day,
the student who wishes to master
the art of eloquence studies the
speeches of Demosthenes as the SUI
preme masterpieces of any age. Per-
haps one influence that moved the
young Athenian to entertain this am
bition was the desire to obtain jus
tice against his two cousins, who had
mismanaged the goodly estate his ia
Their had left him, and had turned.

of what he should have received when

one Of his unjust guardians in later
life, and won a verdict for damages.
When he first tried to speak in the
public assembly, he was only
laughed at. But Demosthenes had
the kind of will that triumphs over
all obstacles. To learn to articulate
more distinctly, it Is said that he
practiced speaking with pebbles in
his mouth. and to strengthen his
voice he acclaimed on the seashore
amid the roar Of the waves, or ran
up hill as he recited. To overcome
his awkward habit of lifting one
shoulder higfRr than the other, he
hung a sword so that it would
touch his shoulder If he raised 1t. He
fitted up a room in cave, where he
could study and practice without
interruption. Often he sat up at
night, writing and rewriting his
speeches by the glimmer of an oil
lamp. A man who was jealous of
him once referred to this with a
sheer, saying, "Demosthenes, your
speeches smell of the lamp"
Success crowned his efforts. and
Demosthenes at length rose to
popularity and power, just at the
time when great danger threatened
Athens. King Philip, who ruled
Macedonia, just north Of Greece. was
beginning those conquests which in
the end made him master Of Greece.

for the great orator. The pro-Mace-

condemnation on a false charge of
taking a bride. He was fined and
thrown into prison. from which he
fled into exile. When Alexander the
Great of Macedonia died, Demos

attempt to throw off the Macedonian
yoke Defeat put an end to the
hopes of the patriots, and Demos
