SPEECH APPEALED TO HIM

More or Less Good Reason Why Listener Considered it Great Oratorical Effort. They are telling a good joke, on Will Upshaw. He was up the other day, and was the interesting center of several groups of members who had heard of the “Prohibition Cyclone” of Georgia. While talking in the lobby to one of these groups of forthcoming associates, Congressman Garrett of Houston, Tex., passed, after salutations. “Did you ever hear Garrett speak?” asked Upshaw of the members of his group. . . -•- “Yes,” they all chimed In. “The most masterly address, the most beautiful, soul-stirring address I ever heard in all my life of association with great orators, fell from the lips of that great Texan and statesman one night at Dallas,” said Upshaw. “On what subject was Garrett speaking?” queried one of the party, rather interested. “He was introducing me,” replied Upshaw solemnly.—Atlanta Constitution.
