In a recent chapter of his Auto
biography" in the North American Re-
view Marx Twain tells of his dinner IN
Berlin with Emperor of Germany.
He had but recently arrived in the city
and had begun housekeeping in a fur
nished apartment when one morning
at eakfa the invitation to Inner
was delivered. The family was very
much imprest, particularly the young,
err members He

countered socially on the Continent.
men bearing lofty titles; and all this
while Jean was becoming more and
more imprest, and awed, and subdued
by these imposing events, for she had
not been abroad before, and they wera
new to her, wonders out of dreamland
turned into realities. The imperial
card was passed from hand to hand
around the table, and examined with
interest; when it reached Jean she ex>
hibited excitement and emotion, but
for a time was quite speeches.; then
she said:
why, papa, if it keeps going ON ike
this, pretty soon there won't be any,
body left for you to get acquainted
with but God"
1t was not complimentary to think
that I was not acquainted in that quar-
ter. but she was young, and the young
lump to conclusions without reflection.
Necessarily, I did myself the honor
to obey the command of the Emperor
Wilhelm II. Prince Heinrich and six
or eight other guests v ere present.
The Emperor did most OF the talking,
and he talked well, and in faultless
English. In both of these conspicuous
nesses I was gratified to recognize a
resemblance to myself, a very exact re-
semblance; no, almost exact, but not
quite that, a modified exactness, with
the advantage in favor of the Emperor.
My English, like his. is nearly fault
less; like him l ALI well and when I
have guests at dinner ] prefer to do all
the talking myself. Tt is the best way,
and the p~leasantest. Also the most
| profitable for the others.
1 was greatly pleased to perceive that
| his Majesty was familiar with my
| books, and that his attitude TOWARD
them was not uncomplimentary.
AT the dinner his Majesty chatted
briskly and en~tertainingly along ir
| easy and flowing English, and now and
| then he interrupted himself to address
a remark to me, or to some other III
| dividual of the guests. When the reply
had been delivered, he resumed his
talk. I noticed that the table etiquette
tailed with hat which was the law OF
my house at home when we had guests;
| that is to say, the guests answered
| when the host favored them with q re-
mark and then quoted down and be-
haved themselves until they got an
other chance. If I had been in the En-
peror's chair n he in mine, I should
have felt infinitely comfortable and a.
home, and should have lone a world
| of talking, and done it well: but I was
guest now, and consequently I felt les:
at home. From old experience, / wa:
familiar with the rules of the game
and familiar with exercise from TIL
high place Of host; but I was not fami,

MARK TWAINS DINNER WITH
THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY

felt a little strange and out of place.
But there; was no animosity; no., the
Emneror was host, therefore according
60 nv own rule he had a right to do
the talking, and it was my honorable
duty to intrude on Interruptions or
other improvements except Upon invi-
tat:on: and of course it would be my
turn some day. On some friendly visit

between his table and mine, for in

in awe of him, and naturally they con-
ferred that feeling upon me, for, after
all, I am only human altho I regret 1t.
When a guest answered a question ne
did it with deferential voice and man

it and he did not spin it out, but got

could, and then looked relieved. The

alert, brilliant, and full of animation;
also he was most gracefully and felicl-
tiously complimentary to my books and
/ will remark here that the happy
phrasing of a compliment is one OF
human gifts. and the happy delivery
of it another"
Some years later the Emperor sent
a message to Mark Twain by an Ann
erican who was returning to this
try from the German court. The mes
sage and the humorist's comment upon
it follow:
Convey to Mr.. Clemens my klndest
regards. Ask him if he remembers that
dinner, and ask him why he didn't dc
any talking"
why, how could I talk when he was
talking? He held the ace as the
poker-clergy say and two can't talk at
the same time with good effect. 1t re-
minds me of the man who was re-
preached by a friend who said:
"I think it a shame that you have
not spoken to your wife for fifteen
years. How do you explain it? How
do you justify it?
THAT poor man said I didn't want
to interrupt her.
IF the Emperor had been at my Id-
BILE, he would not have suffered from
my silence, he would only have suffered
from the sorrows of his own solitude.
If I We're not too old to travel | would
| go to Berlin and introduce the etiquette
of my w table, which TALES with
hat observable at other royal tables. /
woul say, Invite me again, your
Majesty, and give me a chance then I
would c~ourteously waive rank and do
ali the talking myself"

I was waiting for an elevated train
the other day when two young women
came on the platform. says a corre-
spondent of the New York Sur One Of
them was a beauty. with coal-black
hair and eyes. When the girl saw what
a stir she was creating. she told her
friend that she must hav something to
read on her way Down town. She
bought a current number of a periodi-
cal that had a bright red cover. l
thought nothing of it till she sat down
in the car. Her first act was to look
in the glass beside her seat and see
how her face looked framed in the
magazine. The effect was stunning,
and she knew it. Do you think she
read? Not a line.

Old Coachinu Inns.

A century ago London was noted for
its coaching inns. Today but one re-
mains in London proper to recall the
gaicty of coaching parties that assem-
blt d in the comfortable parlUrs for an
evening Of pleasure. Georges Inn, the
last Of these famous tavcrns where the
nobility Of England gathered i'll years
gone by. was probably the most popu-
lar that lined the roadways of the Eng
lish capital, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. 1t was through his association
with the people who frequented
Georges Inn that Charles Dickens be-
gan To attract widespread attention as
4 novelist and writer. More than three
score years ago he was a familiar fig
ure when revelry held sway in the now
antiQuated tavern.
Here it was that Mr.. Dickens met
Mr.. PIckwich and the various charac-
ters he immortalizcd in 'PicNick
Papers" and bounded at once into
popular favor as a humOrist and close
student Of character The attTactivc-
ness of the old inn is still maintained
at a high standard and it is today a
favorite stopping place for travellers
and coaching parties. Nothing has
been removed from the place to dim
the memories of the past. The same
old fashioned chairs, benches, tables
and furniture are there that were in
use a century ago and the decorations
have never been altered. Ownership
has remained with the same family for
many generations. and il is said the
present owner is a direct descendant
Of the man who originally opened it.
