Gets There Just the Same"

An eastern exchange says: An in
telligent waiter at one of the city ho-
tells thus sizes up his guests by their
manner of asking for the bill OF fare.
He says the young lawyer will ask for
"the Briefs" in an apparently forget
full way; the ball-player wants to see
the "score card"; the drummer asks
for the "bill OF goods; the actor calls
for the "plsy bilr'; the merchant calls
for the inventory; the dancing-m mas
ter for the programme; the old law
yer requests the "bill of particulars;
the horseman the "llst of entries; !;
the singer wants the "score," and the
ship captain the clearance papers,;
the regular tourist calls for the
menu" and the printer for the
take; the druggist absently asks for
the prescription; the railroad man
wants to see your "orders," and the
parson the ''creed"; the common
boarder asks for the card" and the
doctor for the "symptoms.'
Out here the average San Francis
can does not find it necessary to ad-
vertise his business thus. so he sim
ply asks for the "bill," but he "gets
there just the same."-S. II. Call.

wants that city TO pay him $50 for
attendance upon a small pox patient
last July. S. M. holds strong hand
and is going to play it for all it is
worth. The small pox patient died,

led the defunct, thus opening the way
for suit against the city for dam
ages by the owner of the land. What
a surprise party it would, be for a
