A HUNGRY TYPEWRITER.
She Lunches for Ten Conts When Nobody
Treats Her.


Treats Her.
Places called diaries arc numerous
In New York, There Is one in Nassau
street that the working girls patronize.
They arc waited on by working girls,
invariably dressed, summer and winter,
In stiflly starched prints. There is
sort OF reciprocity between patron and
waitress.
"rm feeling flush to-day" says the
patron, guess I'll have stew"
That's where your heads level"
says tho waitress. Take n clam stew.
know it's good to-day, caught the
cook putting clam in It,"
But the patron chooses instead n not
unsavory conooction Of scraps of beef
with potatoes and onions, which costs
fifteen cents Sometimes the girl is
rich enough to add to this n wedge OF
pie and that makes her check five cents
more.
There are other restaurants where
tho prices are little higher. These
are patronized largely by the girls who
do typewriting. The prices range from
ten TO fifty cents for the various dishes
A piece OF roast beef and n glass Of
claret can be had for forty cents. The
girls who go in pairs may order a meat
pie Tor twenty-five cents, which answers
for two. Now and then, however, the
typewriter has very elaborate lunch
con. Tho mon who employ typcwri.
tiers are proverbially philanthropic In
this regard. II must be philanthropy
which prompts them so often TO take
the young women who attend 10 their
correspondence 10 lunch with them.
Then possibly she has reed birds and
white wine at the Savarin. But per.
haps II isn't philanthropy nftcr all, for
the next day her meat pie seems, some
how, to have lost its flavor.
The girl with sense of humor goes
TO Park row coffee house and is
amused. She gives her order and hears
the waitress shrek; "Becf one; draw
one In the dark" which interpreted
means, beef and beans and cup OF
black coffee; or perhaps she wants
wheat cakes and then the waitress de-
mands: "a stack of browns" Posi-
bly, she desires eggs turned over, which
are known at this cafe as white
wings"
While she waits for her luncheon 70
be brought she reads the texts that are
displayed on the walls. One young
woman, who had neither the fear OF
the Lord nor of the proprietor before
her eyes, took her pencil one day and
wrote upon the wall: "Take little
wine for thy stomach's sake" Let ua
eat and drink and tomorrow we'll die, "
and similar texts, pertinent neither 10

WHY HE LED THE CHARGE.

An Untamed bteed Gets His Rider Into
Trouble,
The greatest cavalry battle ever
fought on the American continent took
place at Brandy Station on the 9th OF
June, 1868. Al early dawn the federal
advance guard crossed the Rappahan-
mock and charged our outposts with
such vigor that they entered our camp
at their heels. Most OF my regiment,
Sixth Virginia, had turned their horses
out the evening before, 20 that no more
than fifty Of us were prepared 10 mount.
Our reveille was the crack Of the pistol
and carbino OF the foo. These fifty men
were quickly mounted, formed, and or
dered 70 charge. Not a moment was 10

wooded forest OF pine scrub and black
Jack, through which ran a narrow
country road No time was to be lost,
therefore there was little ceremony.
The usual commands-trot,m march, gal
lop, charge--were omitted, and the gall
