A Bret Harte Joke.

Sam Davis of Nevada once made q wager that he could successfully imi- tate the style of ally living or dead poet and do it so thoroughly that the difference was not diSccrnibie and that the public, the press and the critics would not detect the fraud As Il re- suit he wrote "Bin.cy and 4G. to which he signed r. Bret IIartc's name. The fake was put out ill a publication known as the Open Letter. It describ- ed an engineer who took his train through snOwstorm in the SierraS. dy- ing at his post. From the Atlantic to the Pacific the poem was copied
 "Binley and 4G' was given a full page in Leslies Weekly, with a portrait of Bret Harte, and described as the best short poem of the decade It was many years before Mir. IIarte denied its authorship. Tire poem has since been incorporated i'll several books of popular reCitations, wthstanAng Binley freezes to death beside a roar ing locomotive furnace with 13O pounds of steam up and two cords of wood within rcach-Success Magazine
