been made and that too by IA lady In

THE RESTAURANT BEAT.
How He Sometimes Manages to Get a
Good Meal for "A Dime


Good Meal for Dime.
"There are many ways of beating res

has had much experience as a caterer, to a
Dispatch reporter "rve learned a good
many things in this business, at no slight
cost to myself"
"what is the modus operandi of the
shsrperi"
"Well, it is simple, yet it works well-for
him. The larger the restaurant the easier
it is to get meal for almost nothing. Sup
pose you have only dime and your appe-
tite demands 75-cent dinner. You enter
place which is already crowded and seat
Yourself at the further end of the lunch
counter You then order a sandwich or
something else that will cost YOU but a
dime When you have devoured the pro-
vision the waiter hands you check calling
for 10 cents. You take it and saunter
towards the door. The cashier Is busy
making change, and doesn't see you You
seat yourself at the counter near him.
another waiter hands you bill of fare and
you order substantial dinner. When you
have finished you receive a second check,
marked IS cents. Put that in your pocket,
take the other one and hand it to the
cashier with your dime. Seel It's an old
live by their wits.
"Then there is another scheme, which re-
Quires the aid of confederate One of the
beats comes into the dining-room, seats
himself at table and orders good square
meal. A few minutes later his companion
enters and takes q seat at the same table,
They do not speak and the waiter thinks
them perfect strangers. Number orders
light lunch, costing 15 cents, and is given
acheck for that amonnt. The other gets
his dollar dinner and. departs, taking (by
mistake apparently the 10 cent check,
which he cashes at the desk When the
second man has finished he picks up the re-
naming check, looks surprised, calls the
waiter, and says:
Here, what do you mean by this? got
but Is cents worth, yet this check calls for
dollar and he raises kick
"The proprietor is called and matters ex-
planned to him. The fellow puts on a bold
front and maintains that he doesn't know
the other man from Adam. Because YOU
let him swindle you is no reason WHY
should pay for his dinner. I owe you only
Is cents, and that is all will pay
He gets off, of course, and the two meet

1t is proposed to issue paper money in

half sovereign. The annual loss to
traders by the depreciation of gold coin
of that denomination is something like

The half sovereign is an inconvenient

argument in favor of paper.

QUEER ARTICLES BY MAIL.
A Peep at the Catalogue OF the Dead
Letter Sale.

An annual publication Of the Post Office de-
partment has just been issued. II is a small
volume Of eighty-seven pages and makes no
pretensions to literary style. 1t is a record Of
the carelessness of the American people and
contains long list of articles which have been
sent to the dead letter Office. The senders
have either failed to put the proper amount Of
postage stamps on the parcels or else they
have misdirected them or not directed them at
all, or perhaps the packages contained articles
which are not admitted to the mails. There
are some cases where all these conditions have
been complied with and yet the postal authori-
ties have been unable to find the persons 70
whom the packages were addressed. The re-
suit Is the same, for everything of this kind is
stored in the vaults of the dead letter Office
ana kept for two years. and if during that time
.he owners do not claim them they are cata-
logued and offered for sale at public auction.
SIX THOUSAND ARTICLES.
This catalogue, which has just been issued.
contains list of about 5000 articles. which is
an increase in the number of articles as COM
pared with last year of about 800. IL il were
not FOR these sales the vaults in the Post Office
department would soon become oyercrowded
with the accumulated matter The catalogues
are interesting as showing the extensive use
made of the United States mails. Nearly every
article OF dress from a baby's bib 10 a corset
can be found enumerated while jewelry store
OF ordinary size could be supplied with an
ample stock which, however. is generally cata-
logued as OF the cheap kind False hair. to-
bacco, pipes rosaries, pocket knives, toys aud
a host of other things are all enumerated within
the covers of this catalogue.
THE BOOK DEPARTMENT
of the catalogue is quite a feature. 1t contains
the titles of no less than 1874 books and PAM
phlets. Bibles. prayer books comic song books.
novels and books representing nearly every
department of literature NAV be found in this
collection. The editions, however, are neither
rare nor valuable and the sale as a rule has no
no attractions for book collectors 1t is a
curious fact that while only 25 per cent of the
third and fourth-class matter which finds its
way TO the dead letter Office is sent there be-
cause the person addressed could not be found
at least 50 per cent OF the letters or irst-class
matter, handled by the dead letter Office comes
there for that very reason. 1t is said that if
people generally were in the habit of placing
their own address upon packages sent through
the m ais that the number of articles offered
at these public sales would be largely reduced
The holiday season is the harvest for the
dead letter Office and many packages intended
Tor Christmas presents never reach their desti-
nation. 1t is that fact which gives a pathetic
interest to these Catalogues.
