MADE HIM skEPTICAL.
A story About the Witty Retort Man
Credited to Mr.. Cleveland.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
"A curious thing about political oratory
and wit is the side light got upon one as
pect of 1t years ago in Buffalo" Thus Mr..
Cleveland is quoted by a listener: "one
morning quaint-looking old chap came
into my Office and said that he had read in
the newspapers that was TO speak at
mass meeting the following night, and
wanted to know IL it was true. When
told him that Ii was so he revealed to me
a new method of gaining oratorical dis
friction. He volunteered TO interrupt my
speech at stated intervals with a remark
that should be agreed upon between us To
this intersection was to retort wittily, and
thus. as the old fellow pointed out, / would
acquire reputation as witty speaker Nv
first impression was that he was amusing
himself at my expense, but he repeated to
me several things / could reply to wittily
and wanted me TO pay him roundly for
helping me to q reputation. But l told him
] was Indifferent to that kind of fame. and
he went away disappointed Not very long
after that was seated on a stage listening

audience but my quaint visitor and havl
out one OF the very things he wanted me TO
pay him for interrupting me with. The ora
tor answered him with the same retort that
j was offered the privilege of making and
the audience exploded into laughter. and I
heartily Joined in, but my amusement had
not the same foundation. fancy, as that OF
the rest of the laughers. And during the
rest OF the evening the old fellow made an
occasional interruption from different parts
OF the house. and the retorts were OF the
same manufactured sort / am a trifie

torts."

Question OF Transportation.
At the end of the third day fifty-three
dogs, satisfactory In size and other partic-
ulars, were tied up in our stables. How
many of them were stolen from their right
full owners we never will know We had
at least the satisfaction Of showing the Bel
CLANS what American hustle can do when 1t
sets to work In earnest. Next came the
question OF transportation. We wanted to
put those dogs on board a steamer which
was 10 sail from Rotterdam for Bergen
Thursday evening. But how? There is no
SUCH thing as an express company as we
know II In America this side of the At
lantic. The fast freight would run to Rot
under government control, a special train
could not be arranged for without about
a weeks correspondence with the authori-
ties. But there was one way out of
the difficulty, and this was suggested

uation OF their methods Of doing BUSH
ness. and without the faintest idea that
we should adopt IL. Great was his surprise
and the afnazement of the people when we
caught at his suggestion. made passengers
OF our dogs. bought a third-class ticket for
each and every one of them, put a dozen
men at work making boxes and bottling up
our beasts and rode in triumph and four
special cars from Liege to Rotterdam
Thursday afternoon.

Ard this is how We bought our pack of

on to Norway. WALTER wELLMAN.

The Draft Dog.
The draft dog Is tremendous factor in
the social economy Of western Europe. In
all light work he is equal to a horse and
costs but one-ffteenth as much for the
original outlay and only one-sixth the
cost of keeping q horse will suffice for a
dog In fact, the cost Of keeping draft
dog Is almost nothing. He lives on the

We had had correspondence with the con-

writer had reached as a result of his own
Investigations in Europe last summer. Col
Smith had made an official report on the
use of draft dogs in Belgium which at
tracted attention all over the world, es-
pecialiy in the United States, in which he
showed beyond question the enormous in
dustrial value Of these faithful animals In
the United States he pointed out that there
are about 100000 dogs living in idleness

animals contribute nothing whatever to
the wealth Of the country. They toll not;
neither do they spin. Estimating the

Col Smiths argumentstn favor Of the use
OF draft dogs on the streets Of our American
cities was convincing enough, but we were
Interested in the draft hound as an arctic

In reply to our inquiries Consul Smith wrote
as follows:
