f BANDON RECORDER. SPEECHES THAT LIVE Oraterle Tri amp ba That M*a< Ike T m * at HraUia*. It is often said that if a speech reads well It Is not a good speech. Tbere may be some truth in it. The reader cannot, of course, get the impression which the ap**k*r conveys by look and tune and gesture. He tacks that mar Velons influence by which in a great assembly tbe emotion of every Individ ual soul la multiplied by the emotion of »very other. The reader can pause sad dwell upon tbe thought. If there be a fallacy, be is not hqyrled away to do something else before he can detect it 8o. also, bis more careful and deliber ate crith-lam will discover offenses of style and taste which paM unheeded in a speech when uttered. But still the great oratoric triumphs of literature and history stand tbe test of reading In the closet a a well as of hearing In the assembly. Would not Mark Antony’s speech over the dead body of t'tesar, bad It been uttered, have moved tbe Roman populate as It moves the spec tator when the play Is acted or tbe sol itary reader In his closet? Does not Lord Chatham's “I rejoice that Amer ica has resisted” reads well? Do not Sheridan's and Burke's great perora tions In the impeachment of Warren Hastings read well? Does not "liberty and union, now and forever,” read well? Does not “Give me liberty or give me death” read well? Do not Ev erett's finest passages read well?- Sen ator Hoar In Success.

The fun. however, should be clean, innocent, harmless and hearty, with no sugges tlon of indecency or vulgarity. In oth er words, the fun should be "hygienic.” Fun that to foul and malodorous is un healthful. The best sort of fun for the dyspep tic to the fun that burlesques the fol lies and foibles of the odd "characters" you have met. if you can't find the ■how with the burlesque "artists" wlio can make you laugh, seek out compan Ions who are Jolly and who know the art of clowning.
