Andrew White and Mark Twain

A new story Of Andrew J. White, EN-
bassador to Berlin, and Mark Twain
has just reached this side. The humor-
lists aversion to the German language is
we'll known. His diatribe against 1t
is classic. Now, Mr.. White, while an
excellent German scholar, speaks the
language with noticeable accent. The
story hinges on these points. 1T was
at reception, and Mr.. White, partly
in sport, confined his conversation with
the author wholly to German.
Il am glad to see," interrupted the
novelist, that you appreciate German -
Il did until l read your abusive arti-
Gle upon the subject" returned the EN-
bassador, II am now thinking of re-
turning to English"
How grateful the Germans must be. -
was the reply.-Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
