WASHINGTON. May 1s-The

a loan Of $4,000 600 10 the Republic

ence in that country superseded by
Great Britain or France
This is the view of the American
State department. which has earnest
ly recommended that the pledges
made By the United States during the
war be kept. Both Pres't Hard
ing and Sec'y Hughes have said
as much in communication to the
senate where the proposal for the
Liberian loan now awaits action

pices of Pres't Monroe. after whom
the capital of Monrovia was named,
and which represents the highest am
billions of the American negro.
Liberia is bound on one side by
Sierre Leone, British territory. and
on the other by the Ivory Coast
which belongs TO France. If the pro-
posed American loan is not forth
coming. either France or British in
terests are said TO be ready TO ad-
vance the necessary funds. provided
their respective governments are
permitted TO assume control over the
fiscal affairs of the negro republic.

FAMOUS WITS OF
HISTORY
HOW THACKERAY WAS INTRO
DUCED TO HIS FIRST AMER
ICAN OYSTER.

No man from a foreign country
was ever given a warmer welcome
by America than the distinguished
writer and loveable character-Will-
lam Makepiece Thackeray-the au-
thor of Vanity Fair" and The
Virginians"
When he was expected TO visit
the United states in 1852. every one
was waiting with open arms 10 give
him the time of his life.
He arrived in Boston His friends
there had prepared a splendid pro-
gram for his entertainment. Each
detail had been given great thought
and consideration.
Some of his friends who had
known him in London even remem-
bered what he liked to eat. One of
them happened to remember that
Thackeray ives very fond OF oysters.
and had boosted that our oysters
were much finer and larger than the
little coppery-tasting English Va
riety
So. on the first night of his arrival.
a fine dinner was arranged for this
man VINO by many was considered
the most Brilliant writer of his day.
The oysters were 10 be the first
course and his friends instructed
the steward TO search the markets
for the very largest oysters 10 be
found.
The chef outdid himself and the
oysters which were served were ex-
traordinarily large and fat.
The guests assembled and went in
to dinner. The gentleman IN charge
OF the entertainment apClogized for
the smallness of the oysters. and
/ said that just al that time OF year
they were not running particularly
large. As a matter of fact. these
particular specimens would have
taken prize in an oyster Compel
ton.
Every one waited 10 see Thack-
cray tackle his first oyster. Mr.

Of the occasion in his Yesterdays

him how he felt
Profoundly grateful he gasped.
and as II l had swallowed a little

The dirner was a huge success
not only the oysters. but the clever
speeches and brilliant conversation
Of the guests were hugely enjoyed.
Thackeray was of a warm, lovable
nature and he fitted into the group
OF men who entertained him as If
he were one OF them.
SO pleased was Thackeray with
the evening and so grateful that one
day Mr. Fields met him on Beacon
street with a book under his arm.
When he saw Fields he held Il up
