A SPEECH BY "MARK TWAIN,

A banquet recently given to "a Mark
Twain" (Mr. Clemens) at the Windsor
Hotel, Montreal, Can, was attended by
nearly two hundred citizens of all
grades of prominence. Hon. Lucius
Seth Huntington occupied the chair.
and after the Queen Of England and the
President of the United States had been
toasted the Chairman proposed Our
Guest" Mr.. Twain" the hero of the
hour, was received with much applause,
and when it had subsidized he said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen:
That a banquet should be given to me
in this ostensibly foreign land and in
this great city. and that my ears should
be greeted BY such complimentary words

nent surprises to me. and | will not con-
ceal the fact that they are also deeply
gratifying. | thank you, one and all.
; gentlemen, for these marks of favor and
friendliness. and. even if | have not
really or sufficiently deserved them, l
assure YOU that / do not any the less
keenly enjoy and esteem them on that
account.
When a stranger appears abruptly
in country without any appar-
ent business there, and at an unusual
season of the year, the judicious thing
for him TO do is TO explain. Laughter.
This seems peculiarly necessary in my
case on account of series of unfortu-
nate happenings here which followed my
arrival. and which suppose the public
have felt compelled TO connect with
that circumstance. l would most glad

for my defense but my bare word; so
simply declare. in all sincerity and with

it in the morning papers laughter].

police came to inquire if | had any more

mere assertions, grant you. but they
come from the lips of one who was
never known to utter an untruth except
for practice. and who certainly would
not SO stultify the traditions of an up

strange land and in such a presence as
this. where there is nothing to be gained
by it. and he does not need any prac-
tice. drought with me to this city a
