MN;iN; From time immemorial persons have derived great pleasure out of singing, yet it is sin prixinc how few today practice the art public ly. They may admit to playing a fair game of bridge and a inorw or less decent game l golf, but when it com oh to singing they shake their heads and say they can't. The chief trouble 1m that so many people would never dream of going to a Rolf course without clubs or silting iluwn to a brUlne table without cards handicap themselves at the start by trying in sing with their mouths closed. They seem to experience a certain sense of shame ns though they were doing something they did not wish to be cauKht at. Two good placea to practice pinging are bath rooms where you are assured privacy and church where it doesn't matter so much, lioth lo cations rosound very well, l.i the cine yuU let the walls do the work and In the other the choir, hut in either i.caae you have a personal sense of achlevemwnt.---( Baltimore Hun.) 134 WeM Arrested In July.

B., in "The New J(epiiMi," that we quote it herewith : I know that no lest, than three apleiidld speeches were written for him by throe perfectly splendid writers or so they think. After reading them all Herbert threw them away und wroio his own. His will be duller than any one of the three und he knows it. The reason he gave was that while those other speecheH were good belter than he could write still they were not Hoover they did not sound like Hoover anybody would know they were not Hoover and that If he was to get anywhere ut all In (his fight. Hoover had to he Hoover, and particularly at the start. That Ih all I know about this speech, hut it is true, and it has not been published. The speech will be loiu? uul dull, hut it will he Hoover every line of it, und it will be honest. Take this inc.f-, dent uh a whole, and, while it may not have been very bright politic!, It reflects more credit on Herbert personaly than any that hus occurred Hince KatisaH City or for iiit(e a lime before.

He trav eled with the kin-is of song, and also with the queiH; hia rep tatiou lustful long. Tie knew What prestige means, "lieiijllllfi gf the goltlen voice," we called him In I hose days, and all mus icians would rejoice and load him down with praise. Had he hut died or gone to jali when he was at his best, before that , golden voice went stale and he became u Jest! His memory would still be bright and bless ings it would bring, while there remained on earth a wiht who ever heard him sing. And when new singers would arise to take a shot at fame, old people, with adoring eyes, would npeuk hen Julia's nanm. "These later sing ers," they would say, "have merit, we admit, und doubtless on some future Uuy they'll make u Hort of hit. f Hut we have hard Henjulia hiiik, before he died, alas; and tones or cheaper uiiisls ring to us like sounding brass." Tints men would talk for yearn to come, had great Henjulia died before his voice went on the bum, before his larynx dried. But he still ling ers on the stage though he can sing no more, a figure of ex ceeding age, a has-been und a bore. I went to hear him t'other night, ami when I heard him, said, "It isn't fair, it isn't right, that ho still .?oes ahead. He breaks the hearts of old time gents who beard him long ago: lie cannot., sing" worth twenty cents, lie warbles like a crow."
