How Restaurant Men Tickle tho Vanity
Of The r (;uesis.
The proprietor of am Italian restau-
rant cordially greeted n customer II few
evenings ago and anxiously inquired
after the health of another gentleman.
You don't know me-" said the GUS
toner. 1.-The only time you ever saw
me was 4 year ago, when dined here
with y friend.
20 yes. l remember You perfectly"
said the proprietor. You are Mr.:
-. and your friend. whom l have o
seer since. was Mr.. -. How is his
health9"
The customer was pleased. and men,
tally resolved that he was y person Of
much consequence. and that he would
dine in that restaurant every night.
Many men have been similarly sur
prised. A reporter was called by name
the second time he visite,l a busy res
taurant and asked the waiter how he
learned it.
You came in here" the waiter said.
with four other gentlemen, none OF
whom I had cver seen before. During
your conversation you mentioned thu
names of each other, and Remembered
them because that is part Of my business
1t always pleaSes a man to think th't
he is remembered. and it is n waiterls
business to please the patrons Of the
place where he works. If II nan dimes
alone. it is frequently difficult for us t
learn his name. We generally learn il
though. in one way OF another. On
entering. he may nod to an acquainf
ance. Ii the latter is \ steady patron
and has a favorite waiter. as he -
likely to have. we get that waiter to
| procure the information for MS.
There is q man who dimes alone here
every night. He sits at n certain table
and l always wait upon him. 1t waja
month before I learned his name, AID
then l saw it on an envelope whiclh he
laid on the table while he read the en-
closure. I called him by name immcli-
ately. and he was tickled to death.

a striped silk will be COMBINED with

while the back has three straight

a cluster of plaits next the plain green
back breadths. The space left uncov-

of the skirt has two gathered breadths

sire grows upon what it is fed. The

quickly formed. AprOpos Of this: A

the people and the town. She cursed
them in the product Of their mines. in
their business of traffic. ami in their

ten years she said they would wither
and decay until houses were abandoned
and streets deserted. then would come
a new people and 4 new era. when the
old prosperity of the place would return.
When she had thus cursed the town
and the people the old witch turned ON

Judson Caseon Frightfu11y Cut and Then
Placed in Quicksand.
JACKSONVILLE Fla, Nov. 26.-John Z.
Bryan, son of Mrs Mary E. Bryan, an au.
thoress living in New York, is fugitive
from Lloyd's, Jefferson county, this State,
with charge Of murder hanging over him.
Mrs. Bryan has been at the scene of the
crime arranging for her sons defense She
engaged a lawyer and at last accounts was
at Thomasville, Ga.
The crime was committed on election
night, and was shocking in it's details.
About a month ago fight occurred in the
mill house at Lloyd's Station, in which John
L. Bryan was seriously cut with knife,
and for some time it was thought that tho
wound would prove mortal. Judson Caseon,
a negro living over the Jefferson county
line in Leon, was charged with the crime,
and {. warrant was issued against him On
the evening of election day Bryan and twd
others enticed Caseon across the county
boundary line, where they arrested him, tied
his hands behind him with rope, and
and locked him up for the night in the de
pot warehouse of Lloyd's. Early in the
night some men put him in wagon and
carried him to Mixcoankle Sinks, two miles
distant There his body was found on
Thursday evening. 1t had been shockingly
cut up, and five or six big stones had beer
tied to it to insure it's sinking 1t was
probably placedln the water before life was
extinct, and it is believed that the man died
of strangulation, although the wounds were
frightful and sufficient to eventually Gauss
death.
