week of hospitality at the hands of
the fleet officers, who left nothing
undone to make his stay with them
delightful. Among other things he
was permitted to use the wireless
systems of the vessels at his will, in
fore-gathering his charter, a service
which, helped him mightily, and
which" he appreciates profoundly.

What they accomplished is known

In any event, telepathy is to be a

FLATTERING INTRODUCTION.
How a Weil-Known Stanford Senior
Presented an Orator.
A certain well-known Salem lad,
who shall be be nameless, but who
is one of the suspended seniors of
Stanford, and one of the two Oregon
boys mixed up in the trouble down
there, was always a live and inter
esting chap, and in his callower years
performed a little stunt that -made
his town laugh heartily. His highly
respected father is a staunch Demo
crat and a physician of note in Ore
gon, and always took the lead in pub
lic events that had to do with that
party. Some years ago a distin
guished orator of that persuasion was
billed fur Salem, and the Armory was
chosen as the place for holding the
meeting on .account of its size, the
local committee having anticipated a
large crowd und were not disappoint
ed. The question as to who should
introduce the brilliant speaker to his
Salem auditors had been solved dur
ing the day by the choosing of this
youngster as a unique and acceptable
departure from stilted custom, and
at the appointed hour the crowd, the
committee, the orator, the platform
guests and the bright lad, were all
present, and at the close of the music
furnished by the band the boyish
sponsor stepped to the front and in
the clear treble of excited and inter
ested boyhood began, his neat little
speech of introduction. All hands
were pleased at the clever bit of work
c" one, and he was interrupted repeat

the mistake of the evening was
made. The lad was so thrilled with
his evident success that he forgot the
specific duty of the evening and
plunged headlong into a rattling good
Democratic harangue, to the im
mense delight of the Republicans and
the discomfiture of the Democrats,
who sought to call him off and failed
of the thundering ac
claim of the opposition; and this went
