AMERICA'S LOVE FOR IRVING
Hifih Regard In Whloh the Writer
Wm Held Mado Deep Impree
•len on Thackeray.
In America the love and' regard
for Irving was .a national senti
ment .'. . It seemed to me, during
a year's travel in the country, as if
no one ever aimed a blow at Irving.
All men held their hands from that
harmless, friendly peacemaker. I
had the good 1 fortune to see him at
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Washington, and remarked how
in every place he was honored and
welcbmed. Every large city has its
"Irving House." The country takes
pride in the fan* of its men of let
ter& The gate of his own charming
little domain was foreyer swinging
, before visitors who «smo to him. He
shut out no one. { had seen many
pictures his home, and., read de
scriptions ef it, in both of which
it was treated with a not unusual
American exaggeration. It was but
a pretty little cabin of a plfece; the
gentleman of the press who took
notes of the place, . ... might have
visited the whole; house in a couple
of minutes.—From "The Round
about Papers,'' by William Make

THOUGHT OF HER FUNERAL
Qlrl Who Had Ridiculed Employer
Proved Sh« Could Be Mirthful
At Bolemn Moment.
• An Indianapolis office has a girl
as a stenographer whp. is a real
mimic. Her impersonations of the

cially the one of the,"Big Boss" is
tjie hest of aIL And the other
morning while he was out on busi
ness she was giving it. Just as She
reached the climax she looked up
to see the boss hiniself back of the
others watching her in in exceed'
ingly close manner
For a minute she was speechless.
Then just as the others saw him she
giggled, both nervously and mirth
fully. Awed, the others watched
her while the man calmly and ma
jestically walked on into hi* pri
vate office. And then one of them,
a long-standing employee, took her
to task for giggling. "Honestly, I
believe you would laugh at a fu
neral," she ended.
The mimic smiled, "Ain't I just
proving I would?" she returned.
"I felt the minute I saw him that
it was my funeral."
