ia,iye Experience.
Any one who can tell a good story in scandi.
navisn dialect is considered especially good
company nowadays. During the national cam
paign last fall The SUI printed a number Ct
these stories and they attracted very wide at
tcntion. Most Of them cincnated from Luther
Little, now CHIEF OF the Literary Bureau Of the
Republican State Committee in the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel. Mr.. Little, as a newspaper man. had
extensive experience with tho Scandinavian in
the Northwest, especially in Minnesota. 1t
should he said also that a few o. the stories
came from .Ansel Oppcnheim. Vice. President
of the Chicago and Great Western Rail-
road Company, and before long 1t was
accepted by many people that Mr.. Little
and MIR. oppenhcim were adopts as tellers Of
Scandinavian dialect stories. Indiana has
always claimed that Senator Harry g. New Of
tho Indianapolis Journal Ia one Of the best
Scandinavian dialect story tellers In the coun-
try. and a short time ago Mr.. Little. Mr.. New.
and a few friends met in the Columbia Club in
indianapolis and snapped stories. Senator New
was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel the other day,
and the following is the latest which was hurled
at Mr.. Little. 1t Is entitled "Tellefono Polson's
