The Court Did Not Insist.

A capital story is told of one of the
oldest practitioners at the Erie County
bar. He was arguing a motion at a
neighboring county seat. and, as it
sometimes happens, was depending
more upon his own sound logic than
upon authorities for success. At q
critical juncture the judge interrupted
the speaker with this inquiry: Yes,
/ understand. but where are your
authorities upon the subjectP"
If your honor please" retorted u
friend briskly, II will explain the alb
sence of authorities, with your per-
mission. by telling a little story: A
young man freshly admitted to prac-
tice Rad produced In court in support
of a motion a wealth of authorities.
After allowing the young man to read
page upon page of dry decisions. the
Judge at length interrupted YEARLY:
You are just beginning to practice
said he; let me give you some advice.
II does very well to cite authorities
once 10 a while. but you must always
trust somewhat to the common sense OF
the court"
II was q bold, almost audacious. posi-
ton to take, but il won u old friend

ago, the colonial air seems to have

that all the energies of the laboriug
mar we're devoted to schemes for
avoiding labor - which. with certain
qualifications. is practically the case.
The strikes were for all sorts OF causes

the lowest and most degraded would
undertake such labor; to force an en-

he was still a member Of the union, and
SO on. The history of all these strikes
was the same. A brief aud feeble re-
sistance was made by the employers.
followed by unconditional surrender.
This constant success has emboldened
the laboring man. who, having screwed
his employers down to the last pos
sible point, now comes forward with
demands which practically mean that

potentate."

They Learn a Lesson.


Two well-dressed women hustled In
to one OF the numerous ladies' restau-
rants Of the shopping district a day or
two ago. says the n. Y. Times. and
after rejecting several tables that were
offered TO them as they passed through
the room, finally found satisfactory
places in a well-lighted corner. They
were important and tinical from the
first. At the beginning Of the meal
one found her spoon sticky and the
other thought her napkin damp. and
so on-all valid grounds for complaint,
perhaps, except that the manner of
criticism and the general effect Of the
critics were of a nature TO arouse the
suspicion that the estauran table aud
service were equal, II not superior. to
those associated with the home ma
hogany.
A very civil and patient waiter, how,
ever. managed to smooth the frequent
ly wrinkled ross leaves of the repast
until its end. While gloves were be-
ing drawn on preparatory to departure
one of the pair, the larger and presum-
ably the more belligerent. signaled to
the waiter with a portentous nod. He
was at her side in an instant, tearing
of a check as he approached.
Yes" the diner said as he reached
her, Il want my check, but l want
also to ask" and her voice was easily
heard two or three tables distant,
"where the chef of this establishment
gets his garnish leaves-out of the
refuse pailPn
The waiter, amazed. followed the
direction of her glance. and sure
enough there on the oroquette dish.
With the small wisp of green remain
ing, was a bit of potato pairing.
Seeing the effect she had produced.
the speaker continued: Send the
superintendent to me, please" with a
really overwhelming air of reserve
force. But the waiter was fore-stalled.
The superintendent, who had already
taken observations, approached. He
was small. Keen-eyed and suave.
A few words from her majesty put
him in possession of the facts Of the
case. While che was speaking his
trained perceptions were making some
accurate estimates. When she had
finished he was ready.
Il am very sorry" he began with a
bow, that the kitchen should have
been so careless. Madam may be sure
it will not go unreprimanded. But"
he added with a lower bow, his glance
just indicating the well-swept table
before him. II am very glad that
madam has not allowed the blunder to
interfere with her appetite"
So he moved away. Ii was imperti-
nent, Of course, but ''Madam'sn POM
posity and tardy complaint had rather
invited 1t. and the subdued smile on
two or three faces as the pair with
drew. without further comment, was
not objectionable. Undoubtedly. how
ever, that restaurant has lost a patron.
