Laporte Pa.,
Mr. Wu, the Chinese Minister, -was
a guest at the last Gridiron Club din
ner In Washington, and was at first
somewhat puzzled regarding the fun
that always goes with a Gridiron din
ner. When one of the members stop
ped the winner to complain of the soup
and the President demanded that the
soup pot be brought in, to see what
gave the peculiar taste complained of,
Mr. Wn looked serious and inquired ol
his neighbor if the trouble could not be
adjusted without breaking up the din
ner. He saw the hotel proprietor
brought in, and then the soup pot, and
he expected to see trouble over the
dinner before it was served. But
when the President of the club fished
out a civil service reform bill from
the pot as the source of tho complaint
against the soup, the Chinese Minister
saw the humor of the aflair and from
that moment there was no guest who
caught on quicker or enjoyed more
the jokes of the Gridiron than did he.
In Silence.
"Tell me," pleaded the artless maid,
"wherein lies the secret of the art oi
conversation!"
The sage assumed the attitude he
was wont to assume when in the act
of Imparting wisdom, and said:
"My child, listen!"
"I am listening!" breathlessly she
answered.
"Well, my child," he rejoined, "that
is all there is of the art of conversing
agreeably."
