SOME OF DEPEW’S STORIES. ( f a n ; A r « O ld F r ie n d « , h u t T h e y A r e A l l G oode I Mr. Chauncey M. Depew is properly con sidered the great metropolitan jok e foun- ; dry. ?o It lias come about that whenever the great American republic hungers and thirsts (or a sparkling epigram and merry Jest it goes to the accommodating foundry and leaves its order. The foundry does the rest A careful statistician has figured it out that the foundry has been turning out Junny stories for thirty years. The average k four a day So in three decades it has tickled the ears with something like 43,800 stories. Some people account for Mr. Depew’s marvelous fund of stories by the fact that the crowds o f daily visitors to the Grand Central station bring grist to his m ill, and that, as he has a splendid mem ory, when lie hears a good story he puts It in a mental pigeonhole to be taken out and used at an appropriate time. That is t o a certain extent true. Then again many of his stories arise from incidents that happen In the office, on the street, in the railway train—anywhere. He takes liberties with the incidents when he frames them into stories^ He embellishes them and exagger ates them. Some o f his stories are pure and deliberate inventions. Some are inspirations—humorous fictions concocted while on his feet addressing an assemblage. He invests them with such an air o f probability, especially when he lays t he scene “ up at Peek skill,” that men have come to him and said, “ I remember first rate when that happened. I was livin g next door to the man you tell it of.” “ You have a wonderful m em ory,” says «Mr. Depew with a grave face. And then perhaps he thinks, “ W e liars must stand by one another,” and holds his peace. The first story with which Mr. Depew made a public hit was one he originated when he was a Y ale student. Since he first told it, thirty years ago, it has been often repeated, has been appropriated by other people who had no right to it, and has in deed, like many other stories that he in vented, become common property. Tf it were to he told in public tom orrow it would be pronounced a chestnut and nobody would think o f givin g credit for it to its originator and original teller. Mr. Depew placed the scene not in IVekskill, but in a fishing com munity where the eel industry flourishes and the most successful kinds of eelpots are regarded w ith high favor. Here is the story o f the afflicted widow and the consoling eels: The w ife o f a fisherman : S t o r y : WHS approached one day by his fellow workers with a :N U III b e I*: Statement that her husband : had been drowned. H ergrief • I* : was inconsolable, and her despair was heard through the w hole village. She w ent into convul sions. N ext day they came to her again with the somewhat alleviating announce ment that the body had been found. “ But,” they said, “ it’s condition is dreadful.” “ W e ll,” she said, “ tell me the worst.” ’ W e ll,” said they, “ madam, he is covered with eels.” “ Covered with eels?” “ Yes, madam, we hated to tell you, but it is true. He is covered with eels.” “ W e ll,” said the widow, dryin g her tears, “ set him again.” A nother story that has gone all over the country is about a spotted coach dog that wouldn’t wash. .................... The husband o f a lady in : Story : Peekskill got rich in the foundry business, having •Number: been previously a molder. | j So the w ife set up a car- ; 2# • riage. Some one told her she ought to have a coach dog; otherwise the establishment would not be complete. So she came to a dog fancier in New York and bought a nice spotted coach dog. A week or so after ward she was out one day and got canght In a tremendous rainstorm, which washed all the spots off the dog. In great fury «he went back w ith the dog to the dog mer chant and said: “ You scoundrel! W h y did you cheat me by selling me this dog as a coach dog?” Said he: “ I t ’s a l l 1 right, madam. I did not cheat you. H e is a coach dog, but there is an umbrella goes with him, which I for g o t.” Here is a story Mr. Depew tells o f Georgia: I went to a hotel in Geor- • • S to ry : : iN uni her F lR ftn<] "W h ere graph!” to shall Clerk, I auto- “ Autograph?” said the • 3# clerk. ............................. ‘Yes; sign m y name, you know.” “ Oh, right here.” I signed m y name in the register. In a little w hile in came some Georgia crackers. One o f them advanced to the desk. “ W ill you autograph?” asked the clerk, w ith a smile. “ C ert’ nly,” said the Georgia cracker, beaming. “ Mine’s rye. W h a t’s yours, fel lows?” The clerk treated w ith good grace. Then he leantxl hack and glared at me. I felt sorry for him and was somewhat conscience stricken. “ Too bad,” I said. “ This is what comes from speaking a foreign language in one’s own country.” No. 4 is a story by which Mr. Depew shocked an English duchess. She was one o f those insular old ladies who are very anx ious to know if all_ those dreadful things said about A m erica are really so. Mr. De pew took her in to dinner. " Is it really true,” she • S t o r y : s*ked, “ that your divorce • : laws are so lax that Ameri- •Number: can courts sometimes grant divorces in half an hour?

I know of only one state and one town in my country where the divorce laws are so scandalously lax as they de scribe. That is a small town in Indiana “ There are tw o great American railways which have very luxurious trains, fa*t trains, which we call Jimited expresses. One o f these trains passes over the N ew York Central railway, o f which I have the honor to be the president, and the other over the Pennsylvania. It is customary, I believe, one half hour liefore the lim ited express on the Penny si \nnia road reaches that town, for the conductor, or guard, as he is called in Britain, to announce that the train w ill atop half an hour at the next station for those desiring to obtain divorces, and that the court bouse is at the right o f the station and directly across the street. “ So niFUiy Americans, I regret to say, ava.l themselves o f this escape from m atri mony that U ro Pennsylvania lim ited ex presa ia never without passenger« Romo» times, if the divorce has been mutually agreed upon by husband and wife, tb*y travel togeth«r In the grateait luxury and good w ill imaginable, and where elth« r party intends to marry again it le.

The dishwasher dropped song and plates, and «eizing the stranger’s beard cuffed him soundly. His ardor somewhat damp ened by this reception, tho gentleman explained that there was a fortune in her voice. Thereupon Marie dried her hands and signed a contract with him.
