when Twain Spoke French.

- when Mark Twain was a young
reporter on the San Francisco Call
he determined to take up the study
Of French. He did not want to go to
the expense of a teacher. and so he
bought a grammar and conservation
book and set TO work. Every avail
able moment OF the day he worked
at his task.
He soon began TO look about for
opportunities to make use OF his new
accomplishment. Accordingly he be-
gan to eat at a French restaurant

one day, as he and his roommate
were coming out of the restaurant.
they noticed Frenchman on the
sidewalk. He was asking first one
passerby and then another the way
to a certain street, but no one un-
derstood him. That was Twain's
chance. The Frenchman looked at
him and began to talk, Twain
listened attent!vely. There or four
times the Frenchman was compelled
to repeat the question; then Twain
seemed to catch tho gist OF his in
quiry. But he had scarcely spoken
half dozen words in reply when the
Frenchman fell TO the sidewalk in a
dead faint.
The true cause Of the strangers
fainting never became known. Very
likely he was famished. Perhaps he
had been put out OF the restaurant
because of his seedy appearance.
But whatever the cause, the joke
was on Twain. His roommate was
careful enough not to repeat the
incident at the office OF the news
paper, but he teased the rising
hum orist a good deal about It,. When
the fun had lasted long enough
Twain set his Jaw. and with un-
limited determination written on his
features announced:
