Language Of the Lunch Room.

From the New York Sun.
The man who had determined to
economize on his midday lunches a
faithfully kept his resolution for a
month. in spite OF the Doctors advice.
But one thing troubled him. He could
no understand the numerical cipher in
which the waitress always repeated his
order to the hash and pie man at the
rear or the restaurant. or to the griddle
man in the show window. He had
studied the matter hard. but as there
seemed to be no fixed system about II.
his theory of one day would be knocked
out on the next.
For instance, on one occasion when
he said butter cakes the waitress
yelled Three on two!" He pondered
over that all the afternoon and thought
that at last he had got a solution of
the problem. but when he gave hat
same order on the next day the wait
ress fooled him by translating it into
"Three-three, letter go twice. II was
just as bad with wheat cakes. One day
wheat cakes were six of four" and
on the next day they were two To
come drop three" But there was no
difference in the size, color or elasticity
of the cakes.
With the eggs the matter became
serious. For lunch one day the eco
nomical man called for three poached
eggs and the girl yelled Drop three
fur five"
After that he gave up trying to solve
the mystery. but determined to adopt
the cipher language himself. So on
his next visit to the place he said to
the waitress: LET me have some
4-n-44 and a cup of coffee without
milk"
What do you mean by that ?" asked
the girl.
why, don't you know what that
means? I'm surprised" the customer
explained. You don know your bust
ness. / don't believe you have go be-
yond simple fractions. ] want n

and a chocolate eclaire."

Last season Mr.. May-ole and his fem

that Ii was poor policy to have vacant

of things in Dixie Mr.. Galloway said {:

the country today as there were emanci-

to me that If the problem of raising my
people to the true standard of American
more united effort would be directed to the
Christian education of those who are al
ready American citizens, with the ire
mendous power of the American ballot in
their hands for veal or woe. The Tus-

thousand graduates out among them as

tons on Death of EIbrdge Boyden.
The board of trustees of the Worcester
County Mechanics Association held a
special meeting Tuesday evening to take
action on the death of Elbridge Boyden
and adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved. that in the death of our ven
cradle associate, E1bridge Boyden, there
has been taken from the Worcester County
Mechanics Association one who has held a
unique place in It's membership; place
which can never be filled by another. We
shall miss the face and genial greeting of
him who for almost so years was mem
Der of this association, and who loved 1t
and thought of it and for 1T to the end of a
long and busy life; but we cannot mourn
when life full of years Is brought to a
peaceful close.
Four score and eight years is a long pc
Iriod as men count time, but be life here
long or short it is but the foundation on
which is to be built that more perfect SUI
perstructure of a life beyond. Our friend
and brother has presented to the great
architect of the universe the complete
working drawings of a life which we feel
confident will meet with divine approval
We will not say His work is ended for
association. which was the product of his
brain, in addition to standing as a monu-
ment bearing silent but eloquent testi-
mony to the wisdom and capacity of the
men who laid broad and deep foundations
for the Worcester of today, will also
stand as monument to the ability of the
master hand that guided and the head that
planned large things for this association
when Worcester was young in years.
To the bereaved family of our deceased
friend, we tender our sympathy in their
deep affliction.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
spread upon the records of the association
and that copy be sent to the family of
our deceased associate.
