A Royal Interpreter

TT was in his own palace in Bangkok that I
L appeared before the King OF Siam, his family,
and his principal courtiers. The King alone,
OF all the audience visible or screened, under
stood English, and had rather trying time,
because King Chula insisted upon acting as
interpreter, and did it faithfully not hesitating
to interrupt my Jokes, first with a laugh and
then with an explanation of what he was
laughing at.
Before visiting Siam l had been summoned
in STEAMBOAT. My dragonlan who did the inter
preting told me made big hit with the yelled
and clustered danes, who thought the faces
l made even fulnier than monkeys"
Speaking OF faces reminds me of Scotch

max few faces for TIL lad? I'll hold him
over tn banisters yon."
l did my best to scare the BARN into hyster-

taken away.
Nobody was ever a whit more disconcert-
ing to my good opinion of myself than a
certain woman who lives in New York, and
was by way OF making the most out of the
money recently acquired by her spouse. She
sent for me and asked if | could give an enter

toned, mentioning the name of a well known

much over the United Kingdom, was an event,
and the succeeding evening my fellow enter

impromptu gathering at the Savage Club.
Among those present was George Augustus

Sala, after few compliments.

You helped to close place of favorite re-

billed as the nameless wonder. Maybe you'll

That's only fair unused Sala. After he
had thought for awhile he said solemnly, "All

to regret it.

1t was on his royal yacht the Hohenzolern
that Emperor William gave me hearing. He
had as guests a number of Englishmen, some
of whom knew me, and they insisted that
should give recitation in imitation German.
The talk is a lot of gibberish, unspellable for
type, and resembles German only as the mist
resembles the rain. The English guests laughed
lot, and the Kaiser smiled but looked bit
puzzled Finally he asked me if l spoke or
understood German, and when answered, Not
a word, Your Majesty" countered with, Well,
sir, your language seems better than the orig
inal." l have never cared much for that com
pliment.

Some Rural Comments

WITH FUN
By Frank Lin coin

He puzzled me a lot

at last and l asked him
if he hadn't had a lapse
of memory in the two score
years, and if it was not a
gyascutus he came to see.
With much shamefacedness
and with many uncouth
apologies, he confessed that
it was, then added with a
groan:

He got up, lit a fresh cigarette and

with a slower and more thoughtful
step and for n much longer period than
before. Twice he stopped at my chair
as though Oh the point of speaking. but
each time he checked himself and re-
sumed his stride in silence. Once he

some moments leaning out into the fog
