Bayard's Visit to New York Tor Doo.
(From the Washington Post.)

ttrom the Washington Post)
In speaking of the late Thomas F.
Bayard. Senator Vest said:
In social intercourse he was the
most charming man have met in pub
lie life. shall never forget an evening
l passed at Mr.. Bayard's house in
Washington nearly 20 years ago, when
l met at family dinner William r.
Travers of New York, an old and init
mate friend of our host, and the wit
tiest man in the United States, not a
mere story teller or clown. with coarse
humor, but possessed of true Attic wit.
which, like salt, has no bitterness. I
was an enchanted listener to my two
companions until a late hour and was
much amused at Mr.. Bayard's recital
of an infident some years before in
which he and Travers were actors. He
said the rats had become such a mus
ance' in his house at Wilmington. and
We're so aggressive, that he went to
New York in search OF terrier and
applied to Travers for information as
to where he could find an establish
fnent provided with such animals.
Travers took him to a rat pit. whose
proprietor was a celebrated sporting
character, and Bayard stated the pur-
pose Of his visit and that he must see
the dog tried before he would purchase
him.
THE man brought out beautiful
little terrier. and, after putting him in
the pit, pitched a fierce, gray whisker-
ed rat into the arena also. The ad-
versaries confronted each other for
an instant like two gladiators in an
Gent Rome, when suddenly the dog
took to flight, pursued by the rat.
Buy the rat, Toni shouted Tray

AS the bonds of friendship are

places, amid strange scenes, turn the
most common Of everyday sights at

story OF Henry NJ. Stanley, who, after
his return from Africa, was busily en-
gagged in writing his story of the Dark
Continent.
He used to spread his reference maps
upon the floor Of his room. and on this
particular day, after searching in his
near neighborhood for chart which he
much needed, he spoke to his assistant,
who presently deserted it near the fire.

saying;
Never mind; don't disturb the cat.
I'll get along without the chart until
the cat wakes up. If you only knew
how good the sight Of that domestic cat
curled up IN front of that bright Eng
lish fire is to me, you would never chase
her away"
The cat slumbered ON, and not until
she arose with a lazy yawn, scratching
her front nails on the rug as she
stretched, did the famous explorer reach
