Resigned to Keep His Musiache.

Strolling into downtown restaurant
the other day, was surprised TO see
among the walters a man whom I had
observed for years in different lunch
restaurants of the Tenderloin precinct,
and who was one Of the best trained
walters | ever saw either here or in
Europe.
From DelmOnico's and the Bruins
wick to Fulton street seemed to me so
great a change that was more than
curious and called the man to me,
though be was waiting on another
table
Francois, said, what has brought
you down town? Surely there cannot
be as much money here as AT Del's,
for example"
NO, Monsieur is quite right on that
score, but then 1 have my liberty"
Your liberty? In what way?"
Why, up town ! was ordered to
shave off my nlustache."
And you refused?"
Naturally. My wife said she would
leave me if l did such thing"
On further inquiry | found that
there is considerable influx of up-
town walters in the downtown restau-
rants just now, all driven there by the
same stern edict against the proud
mustache in the swell uptown restau-
rants.-N \. Herald.

absurd petition. 1t is on a par with

! His head was as smooth as billiard
ball, not vestige of hair remaining.
His face was covered with long, deep
sears, the sight of one eve was lost,
his neck was distorted and his hands
were shriveled and bony. Inquiry
resulted in learning that he had
been the victim of the wrath of a no.
torious brutal Spanish planter. One
day, three years ago, when Tin Chin
and hundred other coolies were
transferring boiling sugar from the

stood at the entrance to the sugar

man with the whip, and because the
latter wriggled under the pain of the
blow the brutal overseer grabbed up
bucket of the boiling sugar and, with
an oath, deliberately poured the con-
tents down upon the head of the China
man. He was scalded from head to
foot. He fell insensible at the
feet of his tormenter, who
savagely kicked the Chinaman's pros
trate body aside and again took up his
position at the entrance, whip in hand,
ready at the slightest provocation to

cover of darkness, some of Tin Chin's
countrymen carried him to his den. and
there he lay for months. lowering be-

treatment other than that which the

would the planter have seen him die,
