How English And American Languages Differ
"I speak four languages," proudly boasted the door man of a European flotel to an American guest, ,,Italian, French, English, /and American."
"But English and American are the same," protested the American guest.
"Not at all" replied the man. ,,ff an Englishman should come up now, I should talk like this: ,Oh, I say, what extraordinarily shocking weather we're having ! I dare say there'll be a bit of it ahead.' But when you came up I was just getting ready to say: 'For the Love of Mike ! Some day, ain't it? Guess this is the second flood all right."
SHAW'S CONCEPTION OF GOD
George Bernard Shaw, with splendid audacity, said in a talk in a London Church: "I like to think of my God as a young man with his career still before. Him. I hate to think of God as an old man who strikes bargains with His creatures about the salvation of their souls, or a God who has to be begged or bribed."

IT WASN'T ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
Not long ago the British Empire opened a great exposi_ tion in England, the aim of which was to show the re_ sources and products of theBritish Empire. The King opened the affair with splendid ceremonies. And when it was over the news crept into the papers that the platform the King stood on to start the great British Exposition was built of lumber imported from the United States, and quite a fuss ensued. With the mighty forests of Canada, it does seem that they could have used an Empire product there, and there has been much grumbling.
