He Couldn't Carve the Cream.

He Couldn't Carve the Cream.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There was !; !ndricrous episode at
the ladies' reception at the Univers-
ity Club some weeks ago. The mem
bers OF the club, being in the main
still Young and gallant, were devot-
ed in their attentions to the fair
guests, and to assist in their comfort
performed even mental duties.
Among the hardest workers
was John Ledyard Lincoln, the
young attorney. During theserving
up of the luncheon, seeing one OF the
walters slowly cutting slices ofcream
from a large block, he impatiently
seized the carving knife to accelerate
the work. Not knowing that in cr-
der to cut the cream it is necessary
to dip the knife blade into boiling
water, he whncked away with an air
of ponderous knowledge. A moment
later he "a in the predicament of
the inexperienced carver with atough
turkey, but, like a true hero, refused
to surrender. The block of cream
rolled, twisted and s%quirmed, the
knife glanced off harmlessly and
John Leyard Lincoln grew red in
the face. After u desperate strug-
gle, at last he gave in conquered and
turned over the shapeless block to
the grinning waiter, who assumed
the carving process with a triumph
ant air.
But John Ledyard Lincoln learned
something he did not know beiore-a
fact that may seem strange to his
friends.

merchant for a bill of goods, and af-
ter demand had been made he refused
to pay. If the merchant is so dspos.

fact that he could not get his money
