One Kind of Appreciation.

The Man About Town CHANGED to drop into
a fashionable downtown restaurant at lunch
time few days ago, and after seating him
self noticed, at an adjoining table, two
prominent business men, either of whom,
according TO general belief, could reckon
his wealth in the neighborhood of a cool
million They were in the best of spirits,
and as they sat over their wine the
eldest Of the two said to his companion: "By

men, envied you your good fortune in pos

his mother has been unable to obtain pay

the money. She hopes the duke will kindly
pay it. Mrs. Tomkins' address is -"
After carefully reading and considering the
letter the duke sent the following reply
''Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington has
received a letter from Mr. Tomkins, stating
that the Marquis Of Douro is in debt to his
mother, Mrs. Tomkins.

eldest son has not paid his washerwoman's
bill. Mrs Tomkins has no claim upon the
Duke of Wellington. The duke recommends
her, failing another application, to place the
matter in the hands of respectable sollE

dinner party at ApSley house. One of the
guests asked the duke if he was not torment

luke replied: "Oh, yes; constantly" The
friend then said: "a few days ago was ex.
