We can take a tire with a serious blow-out and, by careful workman- ship, put a complete new section in the old casing, so that it will last for two or three thousand additional miles. And the cost is trifling-compar- ed with the extra mile age you get! let us attend to that tire? JÂMIESON BROS. nanvlL a TIRE REPAIR EXPERTS Ohw t ~I ,BOWIMANVILLi1 E, DEC. 8th., 1921.1 PUBLIC SPEAKINC -8V- FRANK HOME KIRKPATRICK No. 19 DIGNITY Not long ago I found a venerable friend of mine in a reminiscent mood. lis memory extended into the early lyceum days. He had heard many of the orators, whose names are at frequent intervals recalled by the industrious compilers of an- thologies of "Great Orations". Among the many anecdotes and descriptions of public speakers of other days, within his personal ex- perience. I was particularly inter- ested in his vivid contrast of the platform attitude of two orators of international reputation, a genera- tion or so ago. One was an authority on social topics. 11e was very particular about the platform or stage settings. He insisted thàt these must be arranged according to bis directions. Then he requested that the lighting should be so adjusted as to brikg hlm into the high light. His appearance be- fore the audience bad ail the "pomp and circumstance" of the stage entry of the star of a tragedy, wben more melodramatic traditions obtained in the theatre. "Drnwjng bimself up to bis loft- lest proportions" ,he would advance toward' the audience with solemn and ponderous gravity. When he reach- ed the caref ully-selected position from which he proposed to speak he would stand, thrust bis right hand into the breast of hîs buttoned coat, pause for an unusually long time, gaze impressively at the audience, and then begin la a heavy, rotund veice and a bombastic style. True, he wai a man of real ability, and lie împressed bis audience, but in spite of bis style rather than by means of it. The other was one of the greatest pulpit orators of bis generation. H1e was a man of rare spirituality and winning personality. H1e walked easily and naturally upon tbe plat- forM, and, as it were, took the audi- ence by tbe hand. His position on the platform caused hlm no concern. 11e spoke from anywhere. H1e did net seek ;the spitlîght, 11e began in a simple, deliberate, straightfor- ward way. H1e conversed with bis audience intimately but net familiar- ly, and upen the plane of the average hearer. It was as if he said, "Come let us reason together". His simple manliness, seîf-poise,- directness, culture, sincere personality and hon- esty of purpose captivated any audi- ence. H1e always commanded sucb respect that when he finisbed bis hearers witb one acord f elt "The ele- ments (were) so mixed in hlm that nature migbt stand up and say to al tbe world, "This was a man" Tbe' first speaker's solicitude was "How do 1 look?" "How do I sound"?- "How do 1 act?" The second speaker's concern was, "Have I somethîng to say?" 'Have I confidence in it"? "Can I persuade my hearers to accept it?" I need scarcely ask my reader, wbicb represents true dignity on the platform or elsewhere, the f ormal- ism, tbe ponderous bearing, the stilt- ed manner of the first type, or the earnestness, straigbtforwardness and self-control of the second. May I ask before concluding this article, have you ever seen aspeaker approacb the audience in that'humble and self-deprecatory manner, as if be were apologizing for daring to open bis mouth in public, or have you ever seen one of those speakers who, inspired either ,by an excess of nervous excitability or animal spirits, wildly gesticulate, or have. you heard one of those who, overcome by an overplus of emotionalism, loudly mat? Did any of these types of delivery command your respect"? but dignity ever commands respect. The inference is obvious. (Next article-"Speaking With Authority". "DAMN THE~ PLUMBER" 4 he> Following f rom the West Coast Lumberman, Outlining the Senti- ments of one of the Largest Lumber Manufacturets in the United States, is of Particular Interest to Canadiens at this Juncture. LETS 11ELP RESTORE CONFIDENCE "For yenrs railroad baiting bas been popular and ive chortled witb glee when they were hog--tied with rules and regulations, and told where to bead in. We smiled wben we saw the once proud managemet talked to saucily by the common individual that we the 'peepul' had chosen as our spokesman. "lWe now find ourselves like the chap that was bothered by a dog barking under bis wlndow; wr,,appinig bis nightie about bis sbivering legs,- be went to put a stop to it. His wîfe, becoming alarmed at bis con- tinued absence, went te investigate, and found hlm standing in a snow drift, holding the dog by the hind legs. Sbe yelled, 'For the love of God, wha't are you doing?' 11e cried eut, 'Go back te bed, I am going te freeze this bugger te death.' "It can't be done and we should change our tactics as we are stand- ing on our own feet and net getting anywbere. "We, on the ýPacific Coast,, have been harder bit, than any otiier dis- trict, as the unscientific, unrailread- like horizontal advance of last year bit us a wallop that seemed impos- sible te witbstand. We are stili groggy, but are adapting ourselves and realize the necessîty of securing better service and freer mÉovement of business. "We lumbermen roar ever the ad- ditional cost per tbousand on our lumber, but a reduction of 10 per cent onthe plumbing bill on a dwell- ing bouse would mena a greater sav- ing te the consumer than nny re- duction in the rate of lumber would bring. Se let's damn the plumber awbile and let up on tbe railreads. "We bold ne brief for any trans- portation system, nor do we wlsh te bang wreaths of bay and laurel on the brows of. any of the managers, as tbey are just human like ourselves, and our sole idea is te better our own condition. "When we-view the thousnnds of worn-out and damaged cars, the many old, rusty locomotives eut of comn- mission; when we sway and bump over tracks eut of commission. we sbudder a tour isolation. When business is again normal, we must bave service te thrive, and if we suf- fer you will net'be comfortable. 'Tbink it over, talk it over and get that sub-conscious mind of yours busy on the subject, and we feel sure that you will agree witb us-tbat it is time te hunt for another rernedy f or our industrial and financial ail- ments".
