ENGLISH CONFUSED STUDENT.
How easy it is for a foreigner to
make ridiculous mistakes in attempt
ing to write English was explained
by Mrs. Strong, wife of Alaska’s gov
ernor, when she was in Fairbanks
recently.
It was when Major and Mrs.
Strong, before the former became
governor, were visiting Germany,
that Mrs. Strong took a special course
in piano (at that time being an ac
complished pianiste at a conservatory
in that country. When she was going
to depart, one of the students who
wanted to show his friendship for
Mrs. Strong, sent her some flowers.
What he intended to put on the note
accompanying the flowers was the
words, “With fragrant greetings,"
which in German would be, “Mit
duftig grusse." He evidently was a
poor student of English, and in order

in a dictionary.
The word “grusse” he easily inter

at a loss to know what word to use
to take the meaning of “duftende,”
the dictionary stating that it meant
“fragrant,” or “smelling.” So when
the flowers were delivered to Mrs.
Strong she was amused to find the
card accompanying them bearing the
following words:
“With smelling greetings.”—Fair
banks Citizen.
