so noticeable that the new conner is
always surprised by it. The other
day called on a leading business
man and was engaged with him
until noon, our affairs were not

to lunch with him. AS he is a
man whose business runs away up
into the millions annually, | sup.

taurant and enjoy civilized lunch,
and the belief was made stronger
when he led the way toward the
restaurant Of the Palace Hotel, the
finest place of the kind in America,
and yet the cheapest. But, alas
for human expectations he turned
to the left and entered the barroom.
Walking up to the bar, he said to
the attendept:
"Give US the bones."
The barkesper at once handed
him a little round box containing
FIVE dice. He took the box, rattled
1t awhile, and emptied it upon the
counter. The barkeeper drew
aside two Of the dice, put the other
three back in the box, and my
friend spilled them out again.
Then the barkeeper putall ofthom

my friend said, twill you gil or

"That's just what I'm trying to

here. What do you have for lunch
at bars where you came from?" he
asked.
"Usually cloves or burned coffee,''
