You're the freshest guy I evor saw. iro you looking for trouble?" Thus saol tho man whose cane had boon tapped. But he who had tapped" It, speaking with a Gorman accent, an swered gently: "Why, sir, I did nothing but restore your cane to Its right Inclination. Ab sently you woro holding it under your arm.

The American Knew a Little About Shakespeare and English. An English literary man who visited this country some years ago to lecture frankly declared that he came not ex pecting to ilnd accurate scholarship among Americans, especially on pure ly literary subjects, adding nffably: "You have boon to busy and useful a nation In practical matters to givo much timo to the arts and graces of earning." During the dinner at which he made this remark he criticised Shakespeare, sharply declaring that his metaphors often were absurd, "as, for example." he said. " 'Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care.' How ridiculous to llKure sleep as knitting up a torn sleeve of a coat!" A young American sitting near him said modestly: "I think the word Is not sleeve, but sleave. the thin fluff of a damaged web. It is a technical ex pression among weavers." 'In tho United States probably!" re torted tho critic Irritably. "Shakespenre never could havo heard 1L He meant sleovo." "I believe," persisted the American gently, "the word Is printed sleave In all tho old editions. It is not nn Amer ican word, but has been used for cen turies by weavers in Scotland and the north of England." The visitor frowned and then, with English frankness, said, laughing: Thank yon. I was mistaken. Per haps I am mistaken about other things and will he corrected before 1 leave our shores." ITEMS OF INTEREST. Copenhagen has the largest enclosed deer-park of any city in the world.
