THE Rise OF THE FREE LUNCH.
1t Came From the South and West Some 1s
Years Ago.

New York Star.I
As far as New York is concerned, the free
lunch was unknown until the early part of
1870. About that time it came to us as an
importation from New Orleans, and San
Francisco, but it was not regarded with
favor by the ordinary saloonkeeper, and
would have died out as fashion were it not
for the German restaurants with bar at
tachments. The proprietors of those places
introduced the practice of serving up to
patrons OF the bar the overplus of the food
prepared for the restaurant guests. in the
form Of free lunch.
When it found that the free lunch made
German saloons attractive, the example set
was quickly followed, until to-day there is
hardly saloon to be found in the city that
does not set out side table with something
to eat for its customers.

No Doubt About the He.

The girl was emboldened with her purpose,
and her companion caught from her an ardor

They discussed the details of the plan freely:

horses ready. He found where two mustangs

saddled and left at a point few rods along
the road. Then he reconnoltred the prison.

A STAR SERVANT GIRL.

The~prodigy-the girl who has been in
her last place two or three years, who is
leaving solely on account of the family
moving abroad, who can cook well, nurse
the baby, do all kinds of sewing. who is
civil, obliging, good tempered, clean In per-
son and work-she is widely advertised in
the daily newspapers, and her qualities, real
and apocryphal-are set forth in big letters.
The British matron reads open mouthed,
eagerly writes to the Office, offering the
prodigy large wages, and faithfully forwards
the necessary halt crown, only to learn that
she is too late. There are rarely less than a
thousand inquiries after each prodigy, and
nine-tenths are accompanied by the fee.

Wiams, who knew that Will Browns dis

With a quick look of inspection, but
without touching the watch, Jack High re-
marked that as for him he never rejected a
gentleman's collateral. 1t was AIeck
Wiams who should have declined the offer,
because he recognized the watch at a glance
as belonged to Boss Donald, and instantly
reasoned that Old Jugg, made desperate by
possible chance to get some whisky money,
trusting to luck to restore the timepiece,
and, induced by his ravening appetite for
alcohol to lapse in his redeemfng quality of
honesty, had sneakingly stolen it. But
Wiams assented to third hand at the
game, and the watch figured in lieu of
money in Old Jugg's bets. But not for long.

watch safe in his pocket and dozen of bank

been won from Wyams by the two others be-

Jack High.

Far from the Facts.

The Salt Lake Tribune is very wide of
the mark when it .intimates that Assistant
Superintendent r. w. Baxter is to lose
his place on account of incompetency.
There is no foundation whatever for such
an inference. Mr.. Baxter has been in
the service of the company about fifteen
years and has often had several hundred
men under him. During all this time he
has given entire satisfaction to his supe-
riors, and has enjoyed the respect and
esteem of ~subordinates.

GERMAN RETURNS.
His Views ON the Exposition and
Beet sugar.


Bis Views ON the Exposition and
Beet sugar.
Eugene German returned from Europe
last Sunday, after an absence of several
months. He spent some time ct the
Exposition at Paris, and also travelled
about a good deal in Germany and
France.
"The chief drawback about the ex-
hibits from the United States" he said
yesterday, twas that they were not
msssed together as were those from most
of the other countries, but scattered
about in the various departments of the
Exposition, where they did not show for
what they were. They were, of course,
plainly marked, and in every case an
American flag hung above them; but
not being all together, they failed to pro-
duce the impression which they other
wise would"
In his travels through Germany and
France Mr.. German made a special
study of the subject of beet root sugar
and the raising of the beet. He is firmly
convinced that that is the coming in
dustry of this country, and that its sue
cessful carrying out will result in an
immediate universal prosperity for the
section. He has ordered large quantity
of beet seed of all varieties, and proposes
to make special effort to have the
farmers experiment with view to ascer-
tanning what beet will grow most sue
cessfully in this soil and climate.
