down the line, you can call me mis-
ter But now I'm plain Jerry.
| As for New York. it's all right. But
the fellow that tells you that New
York is moral town, just pass him up.
And the fellow that tells you that there
is no gambling in New York, just pass
him up harder. There may be morality
in New York, butt don't know. The
4 Holsters, however, are all right l
mean the broiled live Holsters. I ate
| three of them in one day. Whole ones.
mind you l wish now that l had
eaten a fourth one at midnight after
the show, but I took a couple dozen on
the half shell instead.
LAS have said before, do your regu-
lar eating at Shanleys. 1t is only three
or four blocks up the street from the
Hoffman house. In the morning eat
a blue fish. New York is all right on
blue fish. That is where it shines. AT
lunch eat a few raw oysters or clans
and a broiled live lobster. Don't take
chops or steaks; you can get just as
good out here. When you are in New
York eat sea food and fish. Then you
| feel as though you We're getting some
thing You can't have every day out in
the mountains.
In the evening go to the upper
Shanley's. It's the same people, only
| a few blocks farther up. You get an
orchestra to eat by, and flowers and
finely dressed people. Take a claim
choWder or a. green turtle soup, made
to order, to start off with. You might
swallow a dozen oysters before that if
you feel like it. Then take a broiled
| i've lobster or a few reed birds, or
| game of some kind, or stewed terrapn,
or anything that you feel like going
up against. There isn't thing on
| earth you can't find on Shanley's menu
| except Wienerwursts and sauerkraut
| Then go to the theater, and after the
show have them open few dozen
oysters or clans or make you Welsh
! rarebit.
If a fellow happens to get hungry
between meals he can get all kinds of
good eating at any place he may be.
Of course you don't go to any coyote
| places. When you go to New York b.
| heightened if it takes your last dollar.
! About o'clock in the afternoon, if you
| happen to be in the neigh
hood. stroll down to the
Fifth Avenue hotel 1t is only
few doors below the Hoffman house.
| Ihey have custom down there they
nave kept up for score of years. AT
o'clock every afternoon they set out
| fine ham Boiled in MADEIRA wine. it's
| a cuckoo! For a free lunch it beats
anything l ever saw. And you ought
! to see the old dodgers that gather
around at that hour to get a taste of
J the ham and a cooling drink They
| are as fine, sleek, well-groomed a lot
! of old fellows as you ever laid your
! eyes on Mos. a.! OF them are pretty
well along in years. They look like
New Workers, every one of them. And
maybe they don't enjoy it. Well,
| was paying for everything I was get
| ting, but when I ran up against that
| ham, boiled in Madeira, it seemed to
| me that l was breaking in and ought
| to apologize. There We're so many of
| those sleek, finely dressed old fellows
who seemed to have been doing it FOR
| years. But Haldorn told me it was all
| right.
The trouble is they always spot a
| western man IN New York At that
Quinn tells me that the westerners are
away ahead of the provincial New
| Workers. He says that the New York
ers are in a class by themselves. You
can put on any clothes you are a
| ind to
can think Of but they will catch onto
you until you have had year or two
| or seasoning. But he says that the
| Montana people who come to the big
| town come the nearest to being like
| New Workers of any of them. They Gre
away head of the ducks from Albany
| and Syracuse or Philadelphia or Chi
| cago or any of them places. There is
| one way, though, they always caught
me, even after I got my New York
clothes on. I never could quit from
putting my money down on the bar.
You see, in New York, and in most of
| the East at that time you
take your drink and they
ring up the amount, a check
falls out, you take the check to the
cashier and he takes your nun. 1t is
so everywhere, and the bartender can't
get no action. I got pretty well ac-
quainted with the bartenders at the
Hoffman. They are all good fellows
at that. l kind of felt liberal like and
once in while would slide up to the
farthest corner of the circular bar
call for drink quietly, ask the bar
keep to join me and lay down some
small change. But it was no 60
felt kind of mellow and wanted to have
somebody else feel happy and rake off
a quarter or a half, but I couldn't get
action on them. I think the trouble
was l was too familiar with old Cadi-
gan. You see, Cadigan and me was
raised together. He is manager of the
hotel He and I would sit down ana
have many drink together. The bar
