One who was "a candidate for his party s
nomination for an important office a few
years ago appealed to a political opponent to
prepare speech for HIM to use in his can
vass. Moro from admiration for the fell ~ =
cheek than for any other reason, the speech
was prepared, and the writer had the chagrin
Of seeing the man nominated and elected on
the strength of the reputation for eIoquence
acquired by its delivery. \ curious thing
about it was that the writer had introduced
into the speech few lines from an unpublished
poem of his own. which occasioned the nom
inal author a deal Of trouble He was con
stautly being importuned to know who wrote
them, and in constant tribulation lest he
should cite the wrong authority. He finally
addressed the author a note, making the in
quiry in these teruls
Please inform me, if you happen to know,
who is the author Of the lines quoted in my
speech, beginning" etc
To this the author replied:
Il am absolutely certain that the lines you
refer to were never printed until your speech
was published.
After that, when questioned as to their
authorship, the orator would say: 81 have
never found any one that knew suppose
must have run across them somewhere, or
thrown them of myself on the spur Of the
moment
He knew his secret was safe and that be
was himself far more likely to reveal the
facts than the man to whose literary skill ne
was indebted for a reputation for eloqaence
that any one might envy.-Chicagp Inter

Tho crop of travellers tales is being har
vested in some places. A Pittsburger, writ
ing from London, details a little experience
in that city's hotel life which seems worth
relating.
They were four in number, all Americans,
and they were having dinner in the gor'
geously furnished dining room of the Hotel
Metropole. When the soup was brought the
Pittsburger in the party asked the waiter &c
bring some crackers.
BEG pardon said the waiter; what did
you say, sirT
Crackers" replied the Pittsburger
The waiter looked puzzled. but walked of
and did not appear again near the table for
several minutes. The soup was getting cold
and the PIttsburger called another waiter
and sent him after the first with renewed
injunction to bring some crackers Another
minute or two passed, and then both walters
re-entered the room with the stately head
waiter They were engaged in earnest con
versation for another minute. At last the
waiter originally sent bash uly approached
the Americans and laid beside the Pittsburg
er's plate pair of silver nutcrackers.
There was a general laugh, in which the
Pittsburger joined, when another member OF
the party said; If you want crackers to eat
you must call them biscuits long as you're
in England. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Wonderful Lake.

One of the most picturesque and remark
able bodies of water in the world is Henry's
lake in Idaho. It is situated on the dome Of
the continent in depression in the Rocky
mountains called Targee's pass. 1t has an
area of forty square miles, and all around IL
rise snow capped peaks, some Of them being
the highest Of the continents backbone In
the lake is floating island about 800 feet in
diameter 1t has for its basis mat Of roots
so dense that it supports large trees and .
heavy growth Of nnderbrush. These roots
are covered with several feet Of rich soil.
The surface is solid enough to support the
weight of horse anywhere, and there are
places where house could DO built. The
wind blows tine island about the lake, and il
seldom remains twenty-four hours in the
same place-San Francisco Post
