A' story is told that recently i' Los
Angeles five pomineni gentlemen
of foreign birth chanced to meet -a
Russian.' a Turk,, a Frenchman, an
Americain and an Englishman. The
gentlemen becatne bosom friends and
finally a. champagne, supper was proposed,
'at which each guest to be in
keeping with the times was to give a
toast to 'his native country, the one
giving the' best toast to be at no expense
for his supper.
Here are the toasts given:
The Russian: "Here's to the
stars and stripes and. bars of Russia
that were never pulled down."
The Turk: '"Here is to the
Moors of Turkey whose wings were
never clipped."
The Frenchman: "Here is to the
cock of Francewhose feathers were
never' picked."
The American: ,"Here's to the
stars and stripes of the United
States whose defenders were never
licked."
The. Englishman:: "t-lere is to
the ramping, roaring li6n' f Great
';Britain that tore' down the stars and
bars of Russia, clipped the wings of
Turkey, picked the feathers of the
cock of France and ran like h- 1
from the Stars and stripes of the
United States."
The Englishman dined without
cost.
