Baltimore French.

A Baltimore ' boniface tells of :,a waiter In that city who lately announced that he had taken up the study of the French language. “Do you find It necessary here?” asked the patron to whop the man confided this bit of information. “Not here, sir,” explained the waiter.; “but I’ve been offered a steady job In Paris at one of the hotels if I can learn French.” “But Paris is full of French waiters,” said the patron. “I’m afraid you’re being deceived." “No, sir,” said the man, with much earnestness and absolute simplicity. “The proposition’s a straight one. The proprietor of the hotel says that the waiters he has can’t understand French as we Baltimoreans speak it, and that’s what he wants me for. you see.”—Lippincott’s.
