SOARING THE HEAD WAITER.
A Succession OF Startling Horrors
Planned by a Comic Actor.

London Field.l
Once Foote, the English comic actor, made
a wager that he would upset the dignity of
certain head waiter at hotel in Bath, who
had the name of being the most digniied
man in Britain. Foote went TO the hotel
with three friends-an engineer who had
lost an eye, cavalry officer who
had lost an arm, and an old sea captain
who had lost a leg The precious quartet
eusconced themselves in the four cor.
ers of the room and bawled for the waiter,
who came in with more than ordinary as
sumption of dignity, as a tacit protest against
their unceremonious treatment OF him.
"Waiterl" cried the one-eyed engineer, "come
and take off my eye-glass;" adding, as the
waiter swelled with Indignation, "and while
you're about it, just take out my eye"
"Your eve, sir T. echoed the startled digni-
tary. "Yes, my eye, don't you understand
Englshl Look sharpp Eye-glass and glass
eye came away together, and the waiter re-
connoitered them doubtfully as they hy in
the palm of his hand, like a man eyeng
watch that has suddenly stopped.
Just then the one-armed dragoon shouted in
his turn: waiter, take off my glove; and
now that think of it, take off my arm. :
Glove and hand gave way at first touch and
the waiter, appalled, to see his customers all
tumbling to pieces like mosaic puzzle, was
turning hastily away when the one-legged
sailor roared: "Waiter, pull off my star
board boot, and you may as well pull off my
leg, too" The poor waiter shudderingly
compiled, mentally repeating every prayer
he could think of. Instantly the previously
loosened straps of the cork leg gave way, and
down went the man of dignity on his august
back with the artificial limb quiverins in his
clutches.
1t was enough. Forgetting everything in
his agonized longing to escape from this
| chamber of horrors, the ill-starred waiter,
casting terrified glance at the fragments
which strewed the carpet, sprang toward the
door. But before he couli reach it, Foote
himself-the length and fexibility OF whose
, neck might have aroused the envy of al
ostrich-twisted his neck right round ovel
his shoulders, and called out in voice hol
low and unearthly enough to friShten {
Bengal tiger: "Waiter, come and take OF
my hat and while you're at it take off my
head" Human nature could bear no more
The martyred waiter gave one yell worth!
of Cherokee Indian and made but singh
bound from the top of the stairs to the bot
tom, upsetting not only his dignity, but him
self, so thoroughly that to the day OF HI
death he was never quite himself again.
