POLITIES fill ENGLAND SOME “JAYS ..OF TREATING 'I‘IIE CHRONIC UISIZKLEII. Instances of Rapid Retorts at Public Meetings Given by British Statesincn. The best way to treat a lieckler at a political meeting is undoubtedly t0 hu- mor him. not in the sense of tempting him to continue his pursuit. but in that of reducing him to silence by a witty sally. a course that rarely fails to find favor with the other members of the au- dience, says London Tit-Bits. There are occasions. of course. on which the candidate finds himself in hopeless difficulties when seeking for a retort. For instance. some years ago Mr. Willis was crating at the top 0" his voice in a most strenuous man- ner. and he happened to use the well worn phrase from “David Copperfield.“ “Barkis is willin’.” when a man in the back of the hall bowled out. “No. Willis is barkin'." the laugh being against the politician. One is bound to admit. however. that the ready wilted candidate has frequent- ly extricafcd himself from a desperate situation in the most triumphant man- ner when other men would have been COVERED \VITII CON FUSION. When Charles Burleigh, the Aboli- tionist. was collect upon to answer a cowardly and despicable “rotten egg’ heckler. he did so by calmly remarking as he wiped his face: “This is a strik- ing evidence of what I have always maintained, that pro‘slavery arguments are unsound." The late Sir Henry Ilaveloek-Alfan got over the difficulty by fixing his eyes on the spot whence the almost winged messenger had been projected into space. and remarking. with just the slightest indication of disgust. “I say. my friend. the lien that laid that egg had a very bad breath.“ It is a strange circumstance flat whereas candidates can perpetrate \eri- table herds of “bulls” without exciting the retort uncourteous from the heckler. the same individual regards if (junta- lion delivered in a language other than his own with feelings similar to fl. so entertained by another species of bull when a red rug comes within his range C’ vision. When at the general election of 1900 the chairman of an overflow meeting a' Burnley remarked that many of our brave soldiers were sent to the front “without a pair of trousers to their backs” his remark failed to bring forth to comment from the heckier. while a .stalcment of a platform speaker at Chip- lping Norton. about the same time. to the effect that the Unionist candidate had “laid down his life for his Country. land expected to be returned by a large majority.” was received with ’l‘L‘NlL'fll‘UOUS APPLAUSE. “Why such remarks as these should not be commented upon. when so many others. for less provocative of interpo- lation. should be seized upon. it is diffi‘ cult to say; but there are oer-asions. ‘such as that upon which Sir Lewis Molesworffi informed the electorate of: liodniin thal “Iloiue llule is only dvadj so long as we keep it. alive.” when thei nature of the remark leiiiporzirily do” piives the hex-kh-r of his breathing caâ€" parity.

The Right lion. John Morley is one of the few po- litical speakers who can quell a heckler with a smiling retort. as effectively as the famous Campbell. of Monzie. who. when he. asked an Edinburgh burgess to vote for him and received the augiv. answer. “Vote for you! I'd sooner vote for Satan himscl‘." sweetly replied. “Yes. luut if your friend doesn't stand. may I depend upon your support?” a remark that earned him A STAUNCII ADIIERENT. A short time ago. when Mr. Morley was speaking at Montrose. a herklcr demanded permission to put an import: not question to the right honorable. genâ€" tleman. that turned out to be. “Why. doesn‘t he play golf?" in answer fol which the sitting member probably re-' tcrled. “I don't think I'm old enough in begin yet,” a statement that exciteil‘ much hilarity. and put the audience on excellent terms with the speaker. That success. however. does not al- ways rest with the candidate was clear- ly indicated when hlr. .l. lalfour Browne. K. C., was recently speaking in Dumfriesshire and an elector re- marked: “flad we not better utilize. our rwn resources to the full allowing la- bor and capital free access to the land of our own country instead of attempt- ing to bolster up certain industries of the expense of others?" Said the candidate. with emphasis: “I do not follow the question. It sounds like a question taken from a book on political economy. the author of which did not know much." Then did the heckler lift up his voice a second time and remark: “It is taken from your own valuable book, Mr. Browne. on fiscal reform. The situation in which Mr. Browne found himself was not. perhaps. parti< cularly desirable. but it might have been worse. Candidates will recall with a shudder. for instance. that terrible moment when a speaker. wishing to emphasize his strict regard for the tiuth. remarked that in his youth he had been thrashed for telling it. when from the back of the half was waited through the atmosphere the culling comment. “I guess it's cured yer. gut"- nor!” +--~ EVERY PLACE (IN THE PRAIRIES ITS CliItES CIIICDITED 'l'O DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. “AS John “'lilte Could get Nothing to Help Ills Rheumatism Till He Tried the Great Canadian Kidney Remedy.
