Plain Old English for Him.

James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, does not like foreign languages and he cannot persuade himself that Latin is good for anything at all. As the new building for the department of agriculture was being finished off, the atone carvers began a Latin Inscription over the main door. Mr. Wilson came along when the work had been half done. “None of that Latin,” he ordered. “English Is good enough for me.” — Popular Magazine.
