The custom has not vet entirely been abol-

New York Herald. of electing some one guest at
dinner to carve for the others at table.
Forty years ago the practice was the rule
rather than q rarity. 1t was considered then in
the light Of a compliment and not Is an impo-
sition, ~ it would most certainly be regarded
today. At that time men prided themselves on
their ability to dissect joint or fowl and &C.

periences in connection with it as follows:
Il was travelling from Buffalo to Detroit by
steamer, favorite method Of making that trip
in the early days. At dinner time the captain

"He carved exceeding we'll and was very
just in the service of individual portions. He
helped himself last. and placed on his plate

AS he was about to take his seat-mea stood
to carve wild turkeys them drunken and
quarrelsoms gambler, who had caused us great
annoyance with his oaths and opportunities to

from his seat and said: Excuse me. sir, but YOU
have on your plate a portion of the turkey of
which am very fond.
As he made the remark the blackleg at

The Trojan had not vet surrendered the carving
utensils. As the gamblers hand approached
the morsel the carver made a sudden jab at it
with the heavy fork. The prongs Of the latter
passed through the flesh and pinned the gam

expected that the injured man would resort to
his dagger or pistol. but he did not. He skunk
away to his stateroOm, where the wound was
dressed, nor did he venture among the other
passengers during the remainder of the entire
trip"

his auditor.
''Not in the slightest" was the reply. son

courage and quickness of action. 1t was justi-
