IRVING THE AesTeMIoUS ONE.
Poet Had Forgotten Flnlohlne Bottle
Of Port Himself.

It was while Irving was rehearsing
nyson that has both pathetic and hui
morous significance In the earlier
days, when The Cup" was In prepar-
alton, he had been to sec Tennuyson
In the Isle of Wight TO discuss his
Ideas for It's presentation. After din
ner tho dessert and wine were set
out upon a separate table and when
they were seated the poet asked Iry-
Ing II he would like glass OF port.
Yes. like glass of port" replied
the actor.
Upon which Tennyson. taking him
at his word. poured him out glass
Of port and. all unconsciously. fln.
ished the remainder of the bottle him
self.
Next morning the actor had to leave
host overnight But he had scarcely
awakened when he saw Lord Tenny-
son sitting at the foot OF his bed.
How are you this morning." he
inquired. arxiously.
Very we'll indeed was the guests
reply.
Are you?" came the response. with
just a t,nge OF doubt in the tones
of the voice You drank a lot of port
last night
That was Tennyson's way OF ro-
penting after bottle of port!

was a paper by C. "A. Smurthwaite OF
ogden. on Reasons for the Loyalty OF
tho Young People of the Mormon
Church" II any went there with the
idea that they would hear an anti-Mor-
mon lecture they were disappointed.
for there was nothing In the gentle
mans talk which sayored OF bitter
ness or ridicule
Mr.. Smurthwalte stated that as to
the lessons that could be learned from
the loyalty of the young Mormons. he
would leave that to the inference OF
his hearers. that what he proposed TO
do was TO briefly tell what he regarded
as the reasons for the loyalty OF the
young Mormons.
He said that the Young Mems Nu-
tual Improvement associations were
somewhat similar to the Christian En-
deayor societies, and stated that the
general attendance and interest In the
NJ. |, A. work was most commendhble,
First of all, said the speaker "the
church frowns upon public dance
halls, while the ward dance Is en-
comaged. This shows n social phase
to the work, and at these dances the
young men have a chance to meet the
young ladies.
Mr.. Smurthwaite then went on to
say that there was great loyalty
among the presiding officers OF the
various institutions Of the church and
that they had intense zeal. He re-
ferred 10 family prayers and those Of
fered up at meetings., and said that In
all God was asked to bless the author
tiles Of the church and also the mis-
sionaries. He said that the funda-
mental reason for the loyalty was that
parents taught their children almost
from infancy unquestioning obedience
to the priesthood and urged them TO
attend Mutual Improvement meetings
and prepare themselves for foreign
missions.
THE young are made to feel" said
he, that unless they sustain the
church authorities, there IS no place
for them There is the parents faith
in eXaltation. difference between sal
walton While your preacher pleads
for salvation. We young Mormons want
eXaltation.'
He further said that parents and
teachers were impelled by force they
did not understand themselves, to urge
the young to devotion. Mr.. Smurth-
walte's remarks were greeted With
considerable applause.
