As he wandered the streets, hunt

he encountered Sam Ward, Just on
his way to Wormley's.

Index Noyes. "Do you know
French ?"
The veteran diplomatist cast upon
the newly f1edged diplomatist look
Of pity rather than of scorn, and
deigned no reply.
II meant no offence, Sam, "contin-

"" Well, your Excellency," said
Mr.. Ward, after he had done full
justice to o sixteen-dollar dinner,
"there is liberal education in q
q good menu. Suppose we begin
right here. Here is poisson. That's

"This isn't the sort of French I'm
after. I can't say poison whom I'm

impatience of manner, els in the
elucidation of the refinements of gas
tronomic art. I regret that you do
not seem inclined to pursue the
study of the language in its highest
and noblest application. Sir, 1 wish
you good afternoon"
The French Minister next BE-
thought himself of his friend and
fellow citizen, Dom Piatt, formerly
OF Paris. The Hon. Index Moves
remembered that when Dom Piatt
returned to Cincinnati from Paris,
that cosmopolits had grsa. difficulty
in understanding spoken English,
unless the words were pronounced
slowly and very distinctly. Il also
