IdG
pie here for the mother country. It
Is true they speak the Spanish
language. but this only keeps in their
remembrance the oppression Of. the
Spanish rulers for centuries past. A
rule In the public schools milking the
teaching Of the English language COM
pulsory will be the undoing Of the
Spanish language here in q genera
ton or two. This shows that there is
an awakening In these quiet people,
who. now having tasted the sweets Of
liberty Of conscience. will never rest
until they are far removed from every
vestge Of the bonds that once held
them. Every one takes a pride in be-
Ing able to speak the English language,
and In their assurance Of prog
rsss often make ludiclous mistakes.
I was introduced to a gentleman who
fancisd he could speak English fair
ly well, and as he shook hands with
me most cordially, instead of saying
How do you do" as he intended, he
eagerly said to me "Goodby, sair:
goodby, sair!!" On another oc-
casion l was accosted by we'll
dressed, intelligent-lookins gentleman
who had crossed the street purposely
to meet me and with IN inquiry spok-
en- slowly. said: "Air-you-Amen-
cano?" at the same time making q
profound bow. l said "Oh, yes; I am
an American" This assured him and
now he was going to try his English
on me. II speak re Ainglish," he said.
and then carefully collecting himself
continued, How : do : you-do-today-
sair?" With this he gave . hearty
laugh at his accomplishment and
bowed himself away with q feeling Of
the utmost Subtraction.
