A Transposition.

An American, who years ago
served as our minister to Spain,
was fond of telling the following
joke upon himself.
Shortly after he had become
settled in his new home he was
hidden to a state ceremonial
where he was to be presented to
the King. His knowledge of
language was limited to English
and French and being resirous
of addressing the sovereign in
his own tongue, he took pains
to "coach" for the occasion.
Several phrases were aehearsed
until he felt that he had master
e! them. When the critical
moment arrived he saluted the
King with great dignity, spoke
few words in Spanish. and pass
ed on.
"What did you say7 asked all
English gentleman.
II spoke in Spanish" was
the rejoinder. Il said i cast nay
self at your feet, which I am
told is the most respectful form
of salution."
"Ah, no. corrected Span
lard, who had been observed to
smile at the ambassadors greet
ing. "You are mistaken; you
transposed your words, and quite
altered the meaning'.'
"What did l say?" asked the
diplomat.
What a twinkle in his eye,
the Spaniard made answer,
"What you really said was, 4
throw my heels at your head"
But the King had not betray>
ed, by 50 much as the huttering
of an eyelid, that anything TN
usual had occured.-From "The
Drawer" in Harper's Magazine
for August.
