secure a more efficient execution OF existing

- What ehcct, If any, immigration has had

IN A CHICAGO QUICK LUNCH.

The American Waiter in His Full Glory.
A shotgun beanery" means place where
tine food is thrown.at you, and il you don't
get it you pay your check Just the same, says
the Chicago Record. The request for nap
kin is treated with a contemptuous stare.
Any man who ''kieks" gets but mighty little
comfort from the walters. who are free born
American citizens. The French or Italian
waiter ioiters behind your chair, watchful for
an opportunity to do something for you. The
German waiter is silent, perhaps meian-
choly but always attentive. The colored
waiter hops around you on one leg, doing
great many needless things, but he means
well.
As for the American waiter. he approaches
the customer with presumption that he is
Just as good as the customer. and perhaps a
little better, because he can juggle dishes and
the customer can't. A good waiter, In his
opinion, is a man who can put line OF veg
etable dishes up his arm and around his neck.
1t is he who shouts: lone in the dark!''
Eggs upset'' and "Cut a melon. Bertha."
He may be an iron nolder or 'longshore-
man, but when he isn't working he is = waiter
in a restaurant.
1t was one of these that was waiting on a
side line of tables in tho hot and steamy little
cafe. His apron wore distracted front. and
he was throwing dishes into the air, taking
chances as TO where they would come down.
A quiet man had ordered turkeys wings at Is
cents and was trying to eat them.

THIS is FLAG DAY.

This morning ushers in Flag Day, the an
niversary of the date when Congress decided
on tine design Of the stars and stripes.
II is good thing that popular agitation
has set aside this day for the conservation of
eAe national spirit typified by our flag. It
b especially good that the celebration has not
been forgotten, for this seems to be year of
local insistence in which the whole country's
needs have been temporarily slighted.
Those legislators at the Capitol who are so
persistently seeking their sectional interests
should to-day look up to that grand old
bunting and remember the greatest good to
the greatest number. Miners and mine own
ers in coal regions should to-day quiet for
time their iarring interests and glorify the
Tag that protected the land in which lies the
black basis of their common livelihood.
This is the country's day. 1t is not the
day of one state. religion. business interest
or political party. 1t is an American day.
