Romance of the Hash Factor
Waiter Girl Experiment
in San Francisco.

Romance or the HaSn + aCtOF
The Waiter Girl Experiment
in San Francisco.
Some weeks ago, writes a San
Francisco correspondent, a shrewd
Yankee arrived here from the
East, and after looking around for
time, and finding that fully two
thirds of the people Of San Fran
cisco boarded in restaurants, he
concluded to 60 into that business.
He bad observed that all the res
aurant keepers employed fat, lazy
and dirty Irishmen, Dutchmen and
Cinnamon for cooks and walters,
and he conceived the idea that if
he employed girls-neat, tidy,
quick-witted and good looking
girls-for walters, he would secure
large custom Immediately.
He accordingly ransacked the
employment Offices for recruits,
and finally secured twelve pretty
girls two of these he placed behind
the counter for money-takers, and
the remainder were instructed to
"pass around the hash" The
novelty of the thing made it take
imm mediately. The restaurant was
crowded from morning till night.
No one thought Of eating less than
twenty-five cents worth (you must
know that a person can get a fine
meal for fifteen or twenty cents),
and when they devoured thirty
seven cents worth they would
toss the money-takers q fifty cent
piece and walk away with a
nonchalant air. The proprietor
was in ecstacies, and walked about
rubbing his hands with unctions
delight.
Many of the customers would
call for ice-cream, and ask the wait
resses to join them. They were
consequently flfed 'chock full Of
nice things all the time. Matters
progressed finely for several weeks,
when the proprietor began to find
that his mattresses were not so at
tentive as they ought to be. They
would serve some good-looking
fellow with what he would order,
and would then sit down and chat
with him while other customers
were waiting to be served. He
reprimanded the girls several
times, but without any effect
so he determined to secure another
lot, and discharge the whole
caboodle.
He began his search for sub
stitutes, saying nothing of bis
designs. Yesterday, however, he
was staggered. If Johnny Nor
rissey or Johnny Heenan had
struck a blow below the belt, he
could not have been more aston
ished, for, after duties Of the day
were concluded, and the cash
counted, be was asked to attend
church with the girls, as one of
them was going to get married.
Of course he would 90, and give
away the bride. If she had only
given him notice in time, he would
had given them a nice wedding
supper.
An hours time suficed for the
girls to dress, and then they all
proceeded to church, whore every
one of them were married. Dur
ing their brief career of four weeks
in the restaurant they had been
wooed and won by young fellows
anxious to find companions for
lite, but owing to the peculiar
mode of living in San Francisco,
had no opportunity Of forming
female acquaintances. This morn
ing he was without walters, and he
was rushing around, like a chicken
with his head off, looking for more
girls! His establishment is better

AN EXCELLENT REAsoN.-The
following effusion, said to be the
result Of "poetical agony" by a
Georgia soldier, who sent a young
lady "bokay," while in camp near
herhome, iseminently satisfactory,
so far as it goes, to prove that
"uone but the brave deserves the
fair" and we hope had the de-
sired efect.-Here it is:
"Accept this bokay from feller.
Who has heard the kannons beller; p,
Has listened to the flies tooten,
And helped to do heap Of shooteu,
Has seen the war clouds dark arise,
Like fifty buzzards when they flies,
Who is bigger than his dad, ..
And wants to marry mighty bad"
