deliberate enunciation, lie la 00 tb

orator of the silver-tongued variety,
but as be stands 'himself up, fea
tureless and unfrilled, upon the plat
form he projects himself upon the
audience as a man with a heart as
big as a tub'and with no Dior am
biguity about him than m pitcher of
Kentucky mountain water. A gen
uine son of the mountains, with all
its traditions and associations Inter
woven In his nature, be tells his un
tarnished t-tory of the mountaineer's
life in a manner that holtU bis ikT
nre at attention and occasionally
move them to tears.-

And as he goes on with bis story It
becomes apparent that his own per

is largely responsible for an Institu

Hum's story of bis own part In the
breaking up of the feud spirit In th

two groups of the hardest characters
