After.Dinner Talks.

Clever after-dinner takers are rare
in all countries. One of the best in
the United States is Senator Depew.
A fatal mistake. according to Senator
Depew, is made in appropriating what
someone else has said, unless the aD-
preparation is duly credited. The man
who steals thunder is very apt to be
shocked. Joseph jefferson, clever
man at the, table as he is elsewhere. is
credited with saying to his grandchil-
dren at a goose dinner" When we sat
down. my children, you noticed n goose
stuffed with sage. Now you see sage
stuffed with goose. If MIR. Jenerson
said this he appropriated it from the
late William NJ. Evarts, the difference
being that the dish before Mar. 1yarts
was turkey. The incident is remem-
bered by the Harvard alumni in New
York, who had Mr. Evarts as a guest
at Thanksgiving dinner.
At an informal dinner at which sew
eral friends of AMBASSADOR ChOate
were present one asked him: "lf you
were dead and could come back to this
world in another bouy, who wout. you
