Sir Horace Plunkett once delivered a lecture in Dublin, Ireland, on the best way to improve conditions among the poor. At that time Sir Horace was not exactly a finished speaker. His tongue could not do justice to the riches of his mind. j ' 1 The day following his address he received from a lady a note containing thiß statement: “What you need is two things: First, a wife, and, second, lessons In elocution.” To this Plunkett sent this reply: “I have received your letter saying that I need two things: First, a wife, and, second, lessons in elocution. Those are only one.” —Popular Magazine.
