FLUENCY NOT ALWAYS THERE 1 Even Orators Recognized as Great 1 Were Sometimes at a loss for , the Right Word. i The difficulties which Demosthenes , surmounted before he became a great , orator are tolerably familiar to most readers, but it is not so well known that many of our modern great oratori: did not reel off their speeches as Hu- • ently as they appear in print. • Henry Clay was never at a loss for a word, or “boggled” while speaking. I With Mr. Webster it was different, and 1 he often would hesitate and then rub ; his nose with the bent knuckles of hi:right thumb Mr. Calhoun, when at a loss for a ’ word, would give a petulant twist at ' his large, turned-over shirt collar, and : then run his bony fingers through his. ’ long, gray hair until it stood up liks , the hair on an electric toy. f Mr. Benton would sink his voice anc > mumble something that no one couk ; understand, and General Cass would I “Aw! aw!” in the English style, pass- . ing his hand beneath the lower edge of his capacious white waistcoat. Mr. Webster was almost invariably 1 "stuck" when he attempted to use a - Latin quotation, and when Mr. Everett , was in the senate he used invariably tc J appeal to him. ! Some of the present day orators have . a very poor delivery, but it does not really matter. It is the sense of the speech and not the style that makes an impression. < > KNEW IT HAD TO BE DONE i Rule in Mathematics Puzzled Farmer, Though He Recognized Necessity for Its Observance. 1 A New York engineer was survey- ’ ing the route of a branch line for a - railway system. An old farmer with • whom he stopped for a time admitted . one day, when he saw the engineer , figuring in the field, that mathematics always seemed a wonderful thing to ’ him. ' Being young and enthusiastic, the I engineer began to enlarge upon its , wonders, telling the farmer how we ■ could measure the distances to dis- > ferent planets and even weigh the i planets; how we could foretell the ! coming of a comet or an eclipse years in advance of its actual occurrence, determine the velocity of the swiftest projectiles, ascertain the heights of 1 mountains without scaling them, and ■ many other things meant to astonish the old man. I “Yes, them things does seem kinder , curious,” said the farmer, "but what , always bothered me was to under- , stand why you have to carry one for i every ten. But if you don't,” he con- . tinned, with conviction, “the darned thing won’t come out right.”—Every- ’ body's Magazine. No Doubt About “Everlasting Fire.” ' A dentist recently made a new set . of teeth for the bishop of . He ■ anxiously watched the prelate as he ; examined himself and his teeth in the , pier glass and was startled when he heard the bishop mutter something in . which he emphasized the fearful words. “into everlasting fire.” The dentist ventured to suggest that his lordship might feel rather uncom--1 fortabie at first, but in a little time he would get used to them. Without appearing to notice the dentist, his lordship exclaimed, with tremendous vehemency, “Into everlasting fire!” "But, indeed, my lord, if you have patience.” pleaded the dentist, “in a week’s time or so—” “What do you mean?' inquired the prelate, turning round with a benignant smile. “Why should I have patience? The teeth fit beautifully. It is the first time I have found myself able to pronounce the Athanaslan creed with distinctness for these twenty years.” Irish Kings Their Ancestors. There are more than two hundred and twenty-five Hogans listed in the Philadelphia directory and they say that the Boston Hogan who wanted the probate court to make him Homan is the only one of the clan who was ever ashamed of his name. “Ashamed of the name of Hogan!” i exclaims one of them. "Shades of the Princes of Crioch Cian! Why, the Hogans are descendants of Irish kings. Cosgrach was the second son of Lorcan the one hundred and third king of Thormond Stem, and was the ancestor of the family. Crioch Cian of which they were chiefs, was a territory in the principality of Ormond. The Hogans had a fortified residence at Ardcromy, a parish in the barony of Lower Ormond, and they had another at Ballylusky, in the same territory. That was in ancient times.” The Philadelphia Hogans never change their names excepting when one of tho daughters of the clan gets married. —Boston Post. The Doctor and the Farmer’s Wife. Dr. Clarence J. Blake of Boston tells I the following story: A farmer’s wife was found too run I down from overwork to respond to I treatment. She toid him that she and I her young daughter did all the farm j house work for a family consisting of I her husband, two hearty sons and I two hired men. “And sometimes when : I go to bed at night and think over i what's on hand that must be used to- I morrow and what wi keep over and E what must be cooked and bought and I all the rest I just wish ‘hat my folks I could have their victuals nade up into I an inte-ment an’ rubber into ’em.’’— I Jonrna. of Home Econo mi'“
