Chauncey Depew has great reHown as an
after dinner speaker and is never at loss
for a good story or witty retort. There is
great deal of preparation about Depew' 8
jokes, but many Of his bright sayings are
spontaneous and the result of the inspira-
ton of the moment.
1t is said that this very clever man keeps
private secretary clipping good jokes
from the newspapers and has volumes of
scrapbooks, carefully indCxed filled with
side splitting stories adapted to all the
exigencies of life. These jokes and stories,
it is alleged, are studied carefully by De
pow, and with ready wit are made apropos
whenever occasion demands
These aids to humor are, however, only
used as material by this very busy man,
who does not lack for inspiration in aid Of
himself Depew can always relieve the ten
sion of strained situation by humorous
turn, and this faculty was characteristic
of his youth, as is illustrated by the fol-
lowing story:
When a boy, Depew was a slow and OK
asperating reader One day he was all
tangled up over the phrase, my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light" His teacher
thundered at him:
"Read that again, sir; you re all wrong.
Chauncey dashed at the phrase with
great vigor and shouted:
"My burden is easy, and my joke is
light"
In the laugh which followed the teachers
anger evaporated. Chicago Times-Herald.

FISHES CAUGHT s0LLeTs.
A Man-sF-war's Mans Experiences In fish,
AnR While at Anchor.


A group nf officers stood on the after deck
of the monitor Terror as the vessel lay in
the Horseshoe down at Sandy Hook one
afternoon and discussed whether there was
time to fish from the deck for awhile be-
fore dinner. The discussion brought forth
a lot OF naval fishing experiences When
tho grist Of stories had nearly run out, an
officer. who had been silent up to that
time, cleared his throat and said:
II suppose some Of you will laugh and
sneer at my statement, but want to de-
clare that have seen fish that could and
did catch bullets We have all heard Of
Inagicians who catch bullets fired at them
by members Of a squad. l can 10 that bet
ter by saying | have seen fish that really
did catch bullets fired in voiley into the
water from a man-of war. IL was on my
latest cruise. / had just been ordered to
the ship. The day that ! arrived my fellow
officers said that they had part Of the crew
drawn up for revolver practice At The
close of the practice yolley was fired at
an imaginary enemy.
Later in the day the officers began to
fish for pleasure, and several fish were
caught In each Of them was found q bull
let from the revolyers that had been fired
that afternoon OF course snorted at the
idea and asked why they told such things
when there were no marines on board.
Then they said they would try 1t again.
The SQUAD was brought up and another
volley was fired into the water. We all
went to fishing right away. In less than
half an hour we had two fine bass. We cut
them open, and there were the bullets.
"Of course ! saw what had happened.
The bullets went skipping across the water
and finally sank after having lost their
force. They were bright, and the fish
darted for them as they do for anything
bright that goes by. Nevertheless l had to
see 1t to be convinced,
Certainly we believe what you have
told us, spoke up fellow officer Of the
Terror, "for we've all had these odd expe-
riences in fishing from man-of-war.
Still, there's one thing you haven't ex-
planned You haven't told us how you sent
word to those fishes to come up to tho ship
and be caught. New York Sun.

SNAKE PALACES.
Queer Beliefs In the Transformation of
Human Beings Into Serpents.

Queer Beliefs In the Transformation of
Human Beings Into Serpents.
AS an illustration of the belief in the
transformation of human beings into SER
pents, l will relate circumstance said to
have occurred during the first half Of the
present century. Near Trexlertown, Lehigh
county, Pa. dwelt a farmer named Wei
Ter. His wife and three daughters had, by
some means or other, incurred the enmity
of q witch who lived but short distance
away, when the latter, it is supposed, took
her revenge in 10 following manner:
Whenever visitors came to the Weller resi-
dence, the girls, without any premorition
whatever, would suddenly be changed into
snakes, and after crawling back and forth
along the top ridge of the wainsooting for
several minutes they were restored to their
natural form. This curious transforma-
ton occurred quite frequently, and the
circumstances soon attained widespread
notoriety. About the end of the third
month the spell was broken and every
thing went on as before.
Another popular fallacy is the existence
of the hoop snake. This creature is usual
ly reported as capable of grasping the tip
of it's tail with its mouth, and like hoop
running swiftly along in pursuit of an
unwelcome intruder. This snake is be-
lieved, furthermore, to have upon its tail
a short, poisonous horn, like cocks spur,
and that if it should strike any living
creature death would result The stories
concerning this marvellous snake usually
end with the statement that the person
pursued barely escapes, and that the snake
strikes u tree instead, causing it to wither
and die-Popular Science Monthly.

The Clermont dinners were grand af-
fairs even when there was no state occa-

in their hearts, which she was far too
strict a Calvinist to wish to do. "And

The Man who Raised the Census.

When the last census was taken, the re-
turns showed that one of the Scottish par
ishes had only increased it's population by
seven from the time the previous census
was taken.
One or two cronies dropped in on the
registrar just as he was completing the re-
turns to hear how matters stood. One Of
them, an extensive family man, inquired
what the increase was, and ON being in
formed that it was only seven he ex-
claimed:

AURORA ON THE YUKON.
The Unwarming Light Flashes on Frozen
Rivers and Great Snow Banks.

Rivers and Great Snow Banks.
During the win+er months the aurora on
the Yukon Is very brilliant and intensely
beautiful. ItcommeDces carly In the fall,
and lasts, with more or less brilliancy
throughout the long arctic winter. 1t
generally commences upon the setting Of
the sun, although in midwinter it has
sometimes been so bright that it was visi
BILE at noon while the sun was shining
brightly The rays Of the light first shoot
forth with quick, quivering motion, are
then gathered and form a great arch Of
fire spanning the heavens. 1t CLOVIS for
an instant like girdle of FURNISHED gold !;
then, unfolding, great curtains Of light
drop forth. These royal mantles Of bright
orange, green, pink, rose, yellow and Grim
son are suspended and waved between
heaven and earth as with an invisible
hand The rapid gyrations and scintiIla-
lions of light and blending colors are in
tensely bewildering and superbly beautiful.
The whole phenomena of waving
wreaths, Pickering flames, rays, curtains
fringes, bands and flashing colors, the
strange confusion Of light and motion,
now high in the heavens, then dropping
like curtains Of gold and silver lace, spar
king with a wealth of rubies, sapphires
emeralds and diamonds, penetrating dark
gulohes and darting through somber green
forests, lighting the whole landscape as
with thousand electric lamps, form q
very poor idea. This unwarming light, as
1t flashes along the frozen rivers, the great
banks of snow, and reveals tho huge
mountains of glistening ice and black
lines Of fir, indeed, is of the purest arctic
cast, and causes one to button his coat
closer over his chest, and with a shiyer he
is glad to seek light Of less brilliancy,
but one of life giving warmth.
At the breaking up Of winter the hours
OF sunshine are rapidly increasing, and
continue so until midsummer, when the
sun beams forth 80 hours out of the "a,
while on the high mountain peaks it is for
period of several days in June not en-
tirely out of sight during the "a hours
During the months of July and August
the weather becomes very warm, and even
hot, and miners are glad TO seek shady
retreat in which to do their labor. After
this period the hours of sunshine gradual
ly decrease, until during the shortest days
the sun shines but hours out of the "a.
But at this period the aurora is very in
tense aud helps very materially in driving
darkness from that dreary land. The Their
mometer goes down to 20 degrees below
zero in winter, but the atmosphere is very
dry, and consequently the cold is not so
perceptible as ono would imagine Alaska
