The lion. William M. I-ivnrts. Sl‘t'i't“
inry of state during President llaycs'
administration. was celebrated not on-
ly as a statesman and a lawyer, brit
also as a great wit.
On one occasion he was at ii large
slug dinner given by Edward Potter
in New York. The live Potter brothers
were among the numerous dinner
guests.
Toward the orid of the dinner Mr.
Evans was called on for ii spwch to
which he responded:
"As i look around this table. I niir
reminded of a story of a young l'res-
hyterinu divine. recently licensed to
preach. who Wits holding his iirst ser-
vice.
“in leading the first prayer the nor-

" ‘We thank iilt‘t‘. 0 IArr'd'-—. lie stop

on:
" ‘W e thank thee. 0 Lord -——
“Again he paused. and then in dos
poratiorr said: .
“ ‘\\'e thunk ting, 0 Lord that Thou
art the Clay and We are the Potters!’ "
The guests were convrilsed and his
speech was an Instantaneous hit. al-
though none but Mr. Evnrts would
have dared to do it.
On one of his trips abroad Mr liv-
arts landed at Liverpool.. The steam-
or was proceeding slowly up the rivrr'

In the American Magazine, "The in-

was a coward:
"ilui everybody is a coward and a

one thing and another are afraid of
another thing. One man would go to

"One one occasion on a bet, he went
up in a balloon, agreeing to descend

not be discntanglcd. So I‘." S-cized the
bar of the parachute and dropped out

of our batteries at El Caney. Our men
proceeded to bombard a Spanish block-
house. The iirst shot was a good one.
"and the English visitor showed his ap-
predation by slapping the artillery or.
floor on the back. At that minute the
Spaniards replied with even a better
shot.
