Bret Harte,s ConsuIship.

A little group of literary men were
discussing the distinct loss sustained
by American letters in the death OF
Bret Harte. One of them related the
story of how Harte came to lose his
post as consul at Glasgow.
Harte spent most of his time in the
London drawing rooms, where he was
a general favorite. and delegated the
consular business to assistants. One
day, while making one of his rare visits
to Glasgow, he scraped acquaintance
with a stranger on the train. Each
seemed fascinated by the others per-
sonality and time passed quickly. At
last they reached the outskirts of a
large city.
what place is this?" inquired the
stranger.
II haven't the slightest idea" replied
Harte after looking out of the window.
A few minutes later the railway
guard opened the door Of the compart-
ment and announced that they ha1 ar
rived at Glasgow.
When Harte showed up at the con-
sulate the next morning the first person
who advanced to greet him was the
agreeable stranger, who introduced
himself as a special agent of the home
government sent TO investigate charges
of neglect of duty on the part Of the
consul.
The agent may have been atfable,
says the New York Times. but he was
lacking in a sense Of humor for he evil
dently cabled his government an ac-
count of the train incident, as Harte's
successor was soon after appointed.

The honorable William IL. Moody. OF

Navy, has won an amiable reputation
as n man Of solidlty OF character.
On one occasion when an opponent
protested that he had been done an In
justice. Mr.. Moody with quick courtesy
instructed the stenographers to furnish
an abstract OF the speech ta the pro-
testing member, SO that the latter
might have opportunity TO mark for
expurgaton any objectionable para
graphs. n
When a colleague at one time doubt
ed whether Mr.. Moody's constituents
would lndorse measure he was sun
porting. he replied:
II was not sent here to shake ana
shiver like dry leaf in a November
gale whenever protest came from
home. but TO exercise my intelligence
and to vote for measures according to
how. In my best judgment. they would
benefit or injure the people. e."-Phila,
