AFTER-DINNAR SPEAKING.

THE ART AS PRACTISED IN AMERICA,

The såbject of American after-dinner dratory amusingly dealt with in the blay issue of Nisutlenik Century by Mr. Daniel Grilly.

He claims for it the position of one of the

wonders of the time. It has transformed a Puritan celebration into a' festival of marri mant, and brought it withto" the bounds of "possibility to associate mirth with a Chamber of Commerce dinner. The American after dinser speech with its fun and its storles is

quite a thing of these liter days, In Daniel Webster's time austere eloquence, impassioned periods Hiring appeals, were in fashion. Now

■ judge, speaking at a New England banquet; can address his audience like this ph

"The grim, storn: Puritan, with the austere face and packed hat, and the lean, wild, loping Indian are hate supplanted by company whose wall rounded figures and genial faces reflect the assurance of the possession of skyscraping buildings, pipe lines, through lines, warehouses

·`wall stuffed deposit vautis, and comfortable bank accounts (laugliter), upon whom smile from those boxes the blessings which, like those, of Providence, come from above (applause) and cause to echo the sentiment unconsciously ex. pressed by the lady who was distributing tracte in the street of London. She handed one to a | cabman; he glanced at ́it, banded it back, and politely, said: "Thank you, lidy, I am a mor

THE PRESIDENT'S STORY,

1

President Roosevelt quains high rank in after-dinner speaking as now` practised. At a dinner of the tallard Society in New York he mixed a story with thanks for his reception.

"When I was in Washington there was a story in reference to a certain president, who was not popular with some of his own prople In a particular Western State. One of the Senators went to the White House and said he wanted a friend of his appointed postmaster of Topka. The President's private secretary said, I am very sorry indeed, sir, bat the President wants to appoint a personal, friend. There upon the Senator anid, 'ell, ter: God's sake, If he has ene friend in Kansas, fet him appoint bim. (Grest laughter)" There have been periods during which the dissembled enlogles of the able Press and my relations with about every politician of every party and every faction, have made me feel I would like to koow whether had one friend in New York, and here I feel I have many.

Most Americans aspire to shine ar speakers; they fest as did ex-Senator Edward Oliver Walcott, of Colorado, when he was asked to speak at

New England Society, banquet in New York" It was with great diffidence (said Mr. Walcott on the night of the dinner) that I accepted the invitation of your president to respond to a toast to-night. I realised my incapacity to do juice to the occasion, while
