Carte Blanche For Dinner.

He is a statesman who has not yet Won
national recognition, but he will be found
at the south end of the capitol this time
next year doing all he can to make a start
that way. He is a man of large means
and believes that wealth producing brains
are the only kind worth mentioning. In
asmuch as he began business with nothing
and had 81, 600, 600 by the time he was 40,
it is fair to suppose he had barrel of
brains.
Two nights ago he wanted to dine a few
friends of his in regal splendor, and, sus-
pecting that Washington hotel dinner,
unless it is prepared for the occasion, is
not of the royal splendor variety, he called
on the hotel clerk to confer with him. He
told him what kind Of dinner he want
ed, and then he proceeded to enumerate
all the details, just people of that kind
always do, mostly on the superstition that
they know more than anybody else does.
The clerk listened for some time to all the
little details. and then he broke in.
my dear sir, - he said in the insinuat-
ing manner of the hotel clerk, ''may 1
have carte blanche?''
The statesman staggered moment.
s'Of course, of course, - he assented Wig
orously, ''you can have anything you
please if it's fit to eat, but I'm kind of
'fraid of some of these Frenchined fxin's.
What 1 want is good dinner"
And he got it.-WashiDgton Star.
