SALT LAKE y Well-Informe- REDUKED THE GREAT WRITER. American Wat Net Awed by Grouchy Poet Laureate. A writer lo Harper' Weekly brlnga to light an Interesting anecdote of Tennyson which well Illustrates the singular habits of the great laureate In his intercourse with his friends. The poet was not only brusque and rough, but he was domineering and exacting, and most other men were afraid of him. Uut an American schoolmaster who for many years maintained a great Intimacy with him had no fear In his heart, and sat and smoked on an equality with the sovereign singer by Farrfngford fireside. One evening says the writer, when the two were thus together, Tennyson said that he would depart from his custom and narrate a personal experience; but he had suffered a good deal from repetitions of his tales by those to whom he had told them, and he would be obliged to ask his friend never to repeat what he was about to hoar. The American smoked on for a few seconds while Tennyson waited for the promise, and then ho said: My lord, in my coun try a gentleman would never make that request of another gentleman. ! said the poet, and looked out of eyes that wondered If the quiet smoker opposite knew how much hed said. Then he told the story." Tl-h-m- Well-Informe- Salesmans Advice Left Off Worse Than Before.

APPOINTING THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS DUTIES THAT DEVOLVE UPON THE PRESIDENT. The only piece of really pure literature ever officially issued from the White house is the proclamation appointing a day of thanksgiving. All other papers written by the president are business documents, the phraseology of which is technical; but this annual message to the people is always a painstakingly worded and grateful composition. A fairly illustrative example will be found in Mr. Roosevelts proclamation setting aside the last Thursday of the present month for the Thanksgiving of 1906. It is the duty of Mr. Loeb (who runs the machinery of the presidents business, arranging all hi-- engagements for him) to call Mr. Roosevelts attention to the fact that Thanksgiving approaches, and to remind him that a proclamation must he written. Of course, it requires considerable time to do this, and so busy a man as the chief executive of the nation might be excusable if he handed over the task to some subordinate, contenting himself with affixing his signature. But custom demands that the work shall be performed by the president himself. Accordingly, when the proclamation has to be prepared, the president devotes some time to thinking out a new shape in which to put the more or less stereotyped ideas which are to be expressed, ana, as he does so, jots down a few memoranda in pencil on a paper he pad. Then, touching a summons one of the dozen stenographers who are always in attendance, and dictates to him carefully the wording of the document. It is short not more than1 400 or 500 words but daintily and tersely phrased. This, hcwever, is only a rough draft. It is copied in typescript by the stenographer, with lines twice the ordinary distance apart, so as to be convenient for corrections and interlineations, and in this shape is handed back to Mr. Roosevelt. At the department of state the proclamation is beautifully engrossed on a great sheet of fine parchment by a s buzz-butto- How Young Lawyer Carried Comfort to Convicted Client.

This seal, by the way, is a sort of federal fetich. It is the most sacred of all things that belongs to the government; and no print of it is ever al- lowed to be given away or sold though, of course, it is attached to all military and naval commissions, and to various other executive documents. It was made by a New York jeweler at a cost of $10,000, anil is kept in a beautiful rosewood box at the state department. In order that it may be used for stamping the Thanksgiving proclamation, a printed order to that effect must be signed by Mr. Roosevelt. The department of state is the permanent depository of executive procla- mations. All the Thanksgiving proclamations ever issued by the presidents of the United States are filed away in its archives back even to 1795, when George Washington set aside the 19th day of February, in that year, as a date on which the people should thank God for exemption from foreign war and from insurrection. Consequently, the engraved proclamation i3 retained by the department "for keeps, and it Is a copy that is sent by special messenger to the government printing office, to be put into type. Printed copies are given to the newspapers, or to anybody who wants them; but there must be typewritten copies for the governor of each state and territory of the union, and these are made at the White House and mailed from there. It will thus be seen that the Issuing of the annual Thanksgiving proclamation is, from beginning to end, quite an elaborate piece of business. a prominent.

The result of the trial was a sentence to be hanged; but the man made an appeal to the governor for a pardon and was anxiously awaiting a reply thereto when his lawyer visited him In his cell. I got good news for you very the young lawyer said, good news! grasping the mans hand. Did the governor is it a pardon? the man exclaimed joyously. Well, no.

At last I tried Cuti- cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my surprise noticed an improvement.

And I have been told, she continued, that seven of your plays will be produced this winter. Who told you that? he asked, his face all smiles again. You did, she said. a! |
