AFTER DINNER SPEAKERS j Tears ug < In one o f my rare lucid Intervals I made a speech which, sur prising a3 It may seem, was regarded us u gem. Up to that time I had been u merry, laughter loving youth, and parking care rested lightly upon my clustering curls. Now look at me. Gaze upon this countenance “ sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,” and this wasted form filled with high re solve and pepsin tablets, and pause ere it is too late. Become an opium eater If you will, drunkard, or siiik lower still and become a cigarette smoker if you must, but never, never, contract the after dinner speaking habit. A fter dinner oratory is a curious business—painful, but apparently nec essary ; severe on you, but worse on us. To sue ua bursting with suppressed elo quence you might think we have a cinch, but such is not the case. I know o f no class o f men who work harder and get work oftener than us orators.

'i he idea generally obtains that all an after dinner speaker has to do is to as sume a Cress suit and an engaging smile, rise up when called upon and cuptlvate an audience with wit or elo quence born of the moment and In spired by tire surroundings. Tills is largely the fault of tlie speakers them selves, who spend most of their allotted time jollying the listeners into the idea that tlie call is unexpected and the speoeh spontaneous. This is not only untrue, but It robs tlie orator of the credit which is Ids due. How much more honest it would be if he would admit thiit for one or two long, sickening weeks his speech has been rankling in ids vitals, and that for ’most as long Ids innocent w ife and children have been made wretched by having to listen to re hearsals thereof; that he lias aroused suspicions as to Ids sanity by mutter ing it in public places ami has been shadowed by the i«ilice us he patrolled lonely streets at night addressing Im aginary after dinner audiences. Koine bold diners out have recently tried to break over the nucient custom ot after dinner speaking by substitut ing for us orators who make » spe cialty of clothing our thoughts in beau tiful and felicitous phrases, sotibrettes who, it is said, do not bother about clothing at all. It is awful to think that we are to be thus brought directly into competition with living pictures and skirt dancers. However, let a man keep at after dinner speaking long enough, and be will get softening of the bruin and ei JUDGE PETER STENGER GROSSCUP. ther land in tlie cabinet or some big Judge Grosscup, who denies that he will resign to become attorney for the public office or in a lunatic asylum.
