An Old One.

One stanch admirer Of Senator De
pew Is a certain distinguished Partisan
whom the Senator met while abroad
some years ago Last winter this
Frenchman visited the United States
for the first time, and among the first
of his friends on this side whom he
called upon was Mr. Depew. He spent
many delightful moments In the socie-
ty Of the genial statesman. and for the
hospitality accorded him by that gen.
tleman the Partisan was most profuse
In his thanks.
That his command OF the English
language was unequal to the task OF
fttingIy conveying his thanks to the
Senator was amusinxIy evidenced by
letter which he addressed to Mr.. De
pew just before returning to France.
The letter was undoubtedly composed
with the aid of an English-French die
tionary. In the closing sentence OF
this comical effusion the Frenchman
had occasion to make use OF the En-
glish equivalent Of the French verb
"preserver." Unfortunately he hit
upon the definition ito pickle" and his
sentence read thus: And may God
pickle you to all eternityw-Woman's
Home Companion.
