No doubt the dramatic powter was strong In hts nature
lin made at least one determined eflort to BSCeSBS an
actor. For a lime his mimetic faculty. Which was sining,
brought lum a bustard popMartty. He win welcomed
in beer shops and anlOoae for tlio sung* lin oeaM
Blag BBd tho spirited recitation* he could give.
Th/y applause, thc booty rotupuutoiishlp, the cn tt.?mem,
elrcw him lower. There was danger that ho would be?
come a common drunkard. Hi- elbert* to do lils work
without giving up liU nightly dissipation so slraine.l
lils strength that ho was on the vergo of delirium tro
iiicn-i. He has told how at one time the tools of his trads
seemod to turn to MTpOOtS and crawl al.nut linn. Ba
escai>e.l that time, but did not girt up drink until Oc?
tober, 1-l'J, wheu, poor, lhaken lu health ami dey -
in -pirlta, almoal elrained of aolf-roapeot ten.I aa argy, he
waa pemuaded to attend a temperance meeting. Then
aud there ho took tho pledge of total BbetlOOBOe, niel
ut the aame time there came upon bim
an Irresistible yearning to go ont and do something for
those who were euflenng from the drink evil. In his
sntcMography ho ha- deeerlbed vividly the iiiihcuitics
of tho uiiderlaklng to winch he had devoted himself.
At that Hmo tho cause of temperanae was not hon?
ored aa now. Those who became Its advo-atcs were
looked upon with suspicion even b^ the friends of mod?
eration. They were generally assumed to be fanatic*,
and Whoa they were not BBBeQd Ihey were ridiculed.
Bat John li. Oough was well OOjalppod for thu
campaign. Ho was a born orator. He
never lu his life wrote out S speech before-hand, or even
prepared notes for ono. Like almost uii orators, from
iieinosthenes to Mr. Gladstone he Butlered from Whal
has been called stage fright to Ibo )a*L Wrltln< Brief

said: " I have never hBBBB IhS Hms BBQB f dbl Bill

itive Bullering, and seldom am I called on to face au au?
dience wheu I would not rather by far run the other
way; mid as I grow oller tins sulfuring la increasing."
Yet from the Hist his addresses took hold upon
hi* li- arila strongly. As au unknown young
man ho set forth, carpetbag lu baud, to tramp
IhrSagh the Vew-Baglaad Ptates. glad enough to
obtain seventy-tlve cents for a toinperanoe loeture. Hut
this did not last long. The reputation of the flory yoaag
*peaker, who carried lils argument* home by tho moil
striking uuecaotes and examples from everyday life, be
giui to Sptead. ile wal able to demand live dollar* a
lecture In a short Hine. His zeal was hot. In the llrst
year he spoke :i-'i time*. Thenceforward, for SCVSatCCS
years he dealt only with tetnperanou, aud during thal
'period he aelelressod* ti.OOO audiences.
He travelled through tho gaelan and leathon states
and Canada, everywhere) ci rating a deep Impression.
It was In Hie Northern Stales that lils best weetk was

Where he arrived lu 1898. He was hospitably enter?
