A Surprised Teacher.

A number Of St. Paul boys arc at
tending Notre Dame university, 1T
South Bend, Ind. There 10 also at Il e
school a student from France, a full
fedged Marquis, who, in his utter ign. :
rance of the English language anu
American customs, has been afforling
the boys a good deal of amusement.
Recently the boys have leen teaching
the marquis colloquial English.I eha..
not say whether any OF the St. Paul
boys were among his inrtructors-and
have been succeeding admirably as the
sequence will show. Through defcien-
cy OF intellect or natural obtusencss
the marquis acquired his knowledge of
English In a parrot-like way-a given
expression for a given occasion, n Ia
Ollendorff. Ono day the president
sent for him about some trivial matters.
He asked the boys how he should ad-
dress him, and vas duly informed.
Entering the venerable presidential
presence, he made a sweep with his
hat, almost touching the floor, aud sa-
1uted him with, "Ah, there, old sport"
The amazement of the president can
best be imagined. An explanation
follow d, and the amateur instructors
In English were duly reprimanded, but
the marquis got a ducking in the ic,
waters of the lake for "giving then.
away" He has since declared his in
tention of returning to France. whcr,
schOolmates will treat him with mole
deference.-St. Paul Globe.
