GREATER THAN DUTY.
English Subject Presents His Case to
an American Citizen.

One OF those soft evenings Of two
or three weeks ago a reporter and a
friend of his had sat down for few
minutes in Farragut Square to pull
quietly at their cigars, it being about
that time in the cleaning when to pull
a cigar is most pleasant and permeating
to the human system. AS they sat en-
joying the fact that they were able to
do what they were doing they were
approached by person who wasn't
able to do it.
Il beg your pardon. sir" he said, in
a plain English accent. to the reporter,
can you render me bit of assistanceH'
"A drink, | SUPPOSE" queried the re-
porter.
Yes, if there's enough after a bite to
eat, sir.I like drink well enough, sir,
and am willing 10 make a sacrifice to
get it, but there are times when a man
must eat, sir, in order TO keep alive
SO he can be able to drink
Il hadn't thought of it that way,
laughed the reporter, but ! see the
you are on the way, you might as well
go on up to the British embassy and
get a bite there. | understand they live
well there
80 I've heard sir" replied the Eng
lishman, and that's where I'm going
but ii occurred to me, sir, that it was
my duty to go there as it was the duty
of the people there to feed me when
| arrived, and, sir, England expects
every man to do her duty. But you
are an American, sir, that England
hasn't a right to expect anything from,
and if you'd help me bit, sir, you see
would be so much more to your credit,
sir"
1t was a skillful bluff. and it won,
as it deserved to Washington Star.

AUTHOR AND CRITIC.
The Writer Was Not Worrying Much Over
the Terrible Roasting He Got.

The Writer Was Not Worrying Much Over
the Terrible Roasting He Got.
The young author had his feet cooked
up on table and was enjoying cigar
when the book reviewer sauntered into
the club.
"You seem wonderfully contented
and at peace with the world for man
who has been roasted from one end of
the country to the other" suggested the
reviewer, a trife put out to think that
the hard whaclls he had been giving had
produced no appreciable effect.
my boy" said the young author, con-
descendingly, those roasts don't wor-
ry me, little bit. All you have to do is
to sit down and reason it out, and youll
find that I'm all right"
"They're the hottest roasts any writer
has got this year." returned the re-
viewer.
''Of course they are" admitted the
young author, ''but can't you see
they're not for me?"
"Not for you? Why, they refer to you
by name"
"Very true; but, then, they fire right
over my neau. lou Snculu take time 10
reason, my boy; you should take time to
reason. Just take your own review of
my books as an illustration. You prob
ably had an idea that you were roasting
me, but you weren't"
81 wasn't?"
"Not a bit of it, my boy. You said,
for instance, that there wasn't good
idea or bright bit of writing in the
whole book"
THAT would be enough of a roast for
most people," suggested the reviewer,
sarcastically.
at would be enough for me, if it hit
me-" replied the author, in an offensive
ly patronizing manner, "but you didn't
aim right. You handled your weapon
like novice. Why, in the very next par
agraph you proved conclusively, accord
ing to your own statement, that the
whole book was plagiarized from sew
eral of the best authors. You said there
was hardly an original line in the whole
story. OF course, that lets me oWt on
the charge that it is stupid and lacking
in ideas, and those old standard authors
are the ones that have a kick coming"
