WOES OF A RESTAURANT KEEPER.

M |
His Napkins and Even His Casters Carrssd
on BY Customers.
It was during the second half of the
rush for dinner in a restaurant e
Washington market, where several thou
sands persons are fed daily, when a great
clamor arose for napkins, and walters
rushed about gathering mp what few
nting these, and others were dispatch
ID to the laundry for more. Henry, the
head waiter, went around meantime
trying to pacify the people, who were
angry and declaring that it was q SHAME
that the house couldn't give q man a
napkin to wipe his mouth with. Some
customers fell back upon the time hon.
ored custom Of the neighborhood and
used the corners Of the ~tablecloths in
lieu Of the missing napkins.
Its a curious and On annoying mat
ter how we run out Of napkins every
little WHILE" said Henry. "You might
suppose that because they are Numbered
so frequently they disappear in the reg
ular way by wearing ont, but that is
not true. You will seldom see napkins
in a restaurant which show the effect Of
wear. They 60 because they n stolen.
This is true not only of such popular
restaurants as this, but also Of every res
taurant in this city. Who takes them I
do not know. All we know ia that they
disappear regularly, and our SUPPOSE
tion is that some are carried OF by peo-
pie who deliberately intend to steal
them and others by persons who put
them into their pockets by mistake. I
know such person as this. It was a
woman Of undoubted honesty. but it
was a joke among the members of her
own family that she never dined at q
hotel OF restaurant without carrying of
q napkin which she had unconsciously
stuffed into her pocket. We got Is dozen
big dinner napkins 9 few weeks ago.
Within three weeks they had all disap-
peared but five dozen, and now there
isn't one in the house.
Tableware goes in the same way
sometimes. A little while ago we got
eight dozen Of these salt and pepper cast
era" Here Henry pointed to some neat
little cut glass casters with silver plated
tops. "We put them on the tables dur
ing the time the wagon boys were COM
ing in here for breakfast last fall, just
before they would start ont to sell their
days buyings on the streets. 'Hully
gee! they would say. That's pretty
nice thing. I guess I'll swipe it just for
luck-see?' And when they left every
day we would miss q few casters. Five
dozen OF them were lost within . few
weeks. New York Sun.

The very agreeable. companionable
and highly esteemed Republican press OF
this state is having considerable to say
about election frauds on the part of the
silver fusion forces Of this common
wealth. The charges mainly consist OF
alleged colonizing Of voters in the bor-
der counties and at other points. Who
knows how these alleged non-resilents
voted, anyhow? II there has been any
monkey business Of this kind going on
it must have been on the part of the Re-
publicans; they were the only ones who
had any money to expend in that man
ner. The Demopop combination could
not raise enough money to meet incl
dental expenses, saying nothing of hlr-
ing 5000 non-residents to bury the Re-
publican gang. The fact that the vote
all over the United States was unprece-
dented cuts no ice, it appears, with the
e. o. p. fellows. It's all straight for Iowa
to cast 10000 more votes than in 1894,
but they can't account for the increase
in South Dakota of a few thousand votes,
after the most spirited and hardest
fought campaign in it's history, in any
other way except that the other fel ows
shipped 'em in. The Republicans are
throwing dust to hide their own infamy.

GENTLEMEN when I wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed US
she had cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be so near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your S. s. S., we Thought it
would do no harm, if not some good,
to try it, so we informed her OF her
condition, just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your s. s. s.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
GEO. L. CRosaRovE.
