English Choice
Of Representative Ma by.

VI representative mdiDy.
Representative George AIalby. Of New
York. has no patience with any Ian
guage except English.
He went into a restaurant in Havana
recently with a friend from the West.
The waiter presented him with a menu
printed IN Spanish. Malby asked for an
American bill-Of-fare The Cuban did
not understand English and Malby did
rot understand Spanish. The statesman
would not leave the restaurant, for IL
was selected after a long search Malby
could not get a description Of the vari-
Gus viauds, so with a sweep of his
hand, he ordered everything on the
mneu. The waiter could not under
stand English. but he did understand
the gesture. Dish after dish was
brought i'm I'm rapid succession and the
waiter refused 20 understand Malby's
wild signals TO halt the parade Of edi-
bles
The real joke OF the incident was that
Malby was the guest Of his Western
friend and being possessed of a rare
sense Of humor. he turned the bill over
TO his friend with a chuckle.
