One of the Profession TeHs About How
Walters Are Made Miserable.
In the quiet hour just after the noon rush
the observant hasher leaned over the lunch
counter and thoughtfully surveyed the broad
cloth coattals Of a tall, slender gentleman
who was just melting into the crowd of work
men, merchants, lawyers and other busy
mortals hurrying back to their various en-
Payments, and remarked:
There is the quietest, most gentlemanly
kicker that ever saw in my life"
"WhyF laconically remarked the clerk,
who was eating a plate of doughnuts, pro-
fessionally known as 'life preservers" at q
seat by the counter.
''Well, you see that new waiter over there
brought him potatoes and cream for bananas
and cream, and rather than hurt the mans
feelings by mentioning the mistake, he called
me over there, and, putting his hand to his
mouth, whispered in my ear:
"'Sorry to trouble you, but don't think
these are bananas that the other gentleman
brought me. Beg your pardon, you know,
but if you could change them without his
Noticing, I should be very much obliged
You bet changed them for him and got
this" and he bit fifty cent piece to see II it
was good.
''It's funny" continued the observans
youth, ''the difference there Is in men. Now,
you see that fat, jolly fellow over there at
the side table eating lobster and laughing
over a funny story he has just told. He keeps
a shoe store up here and sells goods through
sheer good nature, but in truth he's brute.
He looks like good fellow who would be
easy to please, don't her
The listener admitted that said party Of
the first part looked quite amiable, and the
hasher replied:
"Well, be amt. That man would kick il
he was going to be hung, he would He comes
here every day for dinner, and he usually sits
at my table, because / am about the only
waiter there Is here who hasn't refused TO
wait on him. He comes IL with putting and
blowing that would do credit to q sewer en-

says: BAIL why don't you have some wascr
that's ffS to drink He kicks because there
are crumbs on the cloth, swears because the
napkins are damp, snarls at every dish as it
Is set down, and fairly bowls over what be
terms the 'ungodly size Of the bill He
throws the dishes around, rattles the silver,
stabs v.ciously at the food and pounds on his
plate with knife II ne wants an ything. He
ends by kicking 10 the cashier and saying I'M
complimentary things about the cigar he
buys at the 6sh
Il was hard 20 believe ell this about so
pleasant faced a man, but the waiter was
very positive about il, and having settled
that point, sized up tall, thin man, who
had Just come il, and began 70 give mouth
