his wife through the water waist deep to

The Restaurant Keeper Tells Yarn
of n Growing Clubman.

The Restaurant Keeper Tells a Yarn
of n Growing Clubman.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
when a guest of mine says it's raining.
It's raining" declared we'll known New
Orleans caterer, talking about the hotel
and restaurant business. eff he says its
srowing,' it's showing. I never allow any
of my employees to contradict a customer
upon any subject whatsoever. No matter
how preposterous his assertions, they go as
long as he has the price. If a guest at the
table complains Of anything that is served
to him and says 1t isn't good or isn't what
he wanted he Is assumed to be right, and
the dish Is Immediately removed and no
charge made for it. When the complaint Is
totally unwarranted l follow the rule OF
making two changes. If the second ser
vice is still unsatisfactory, the guest Is
told politely that we fear we will not be
able to please him, and must decline to fill
future orders There Is no sentiment about
all this; 1t is cold FLOODED business. l have
figured out that ii is cheaper TO lose a few
rejected dishes now and then than to risk
losing a customer. Besides. 1t hurts a
house to get the reputation OF wrangltng
with it's patrons.
you understand. Of course, that I am
speaking Of general rule, and that there
are exceptions in which one must be guild
ed entirely by circumstances A number
of years ago, to cite you an example, one
or my occasional customers was certain
elderly clubman, who was natural born
growler. Nothing ever suited him. and his
complaints were SO vOciferous that they
had bad effect on other guests. At last
I couldn't stand 1t any longer. and told
him. courteeusly, but firmly, that we must
decline his future custom. He was dunn
founded, and left furious; but about a
month later he walked in again, and again
his order was refused. That made him
wild, and he swore he would never come
within block of the house; but the mere
fact that there was one place in New Or
leans from which he was barred preyed on
his mind, and finally he sent me e. note,
saying that he was willing to let bygones
definitely to forego the honor of his patron
age. Now came the funny part. 1t is hui
man nature of course, to want the one
particular thing we can't have, and when
we find II positively out of reach 1t assumes
an extraordinary value. The old gentle
man never cared much for my place until
l shut him out; then 1t became the most de-
sirable spot in New Orleans. He worked
every imaginable scheme to reinstate him
seIf-sent friends to intercede, threatened
me with q damage suit and wrote me a
dozen pleading letters. Still / stood firm
and three whole years elapsed. when he
made a fresh overture through a former
partner. ! thought 1t over, and few
weeks later told the chef to get ready to
distinguish himself. Then / sent the old
boy a polite invitation to dine with me.
What do you think? Hanged If he didn't
refuse ii, and sent me back word TO go to

sure that he got the better of me at last.

A Happy Old Age In Burmah.
From Ferrar's Book on the Burmese.

When Burman parents are past their
prime their children pray them to "nobo-
sat-" which means that they should be at
the children's charge for the remainder Of
their lives, as the children had first been at
their parents. The turning point Is not
marked by any formality. but a child APP
preaching parents on solemn occasion
adopts the gesture of veneration. The aged
are not idle they preserve great elias
ITCHY of mind and interest in things; they
study their religious book and occupy
themselves with their grandchildren. When
they are too old TO go on pilgrimages with
the others they keep the house and tell
their beads alone. The old people wear
palmer clothes than the young, and, ac-
cording to old Burmese fashion. less OF it.
The human dignity of the aged Is Of a kind
that apparel cannot add to. STEPPED in the
spirit of Buddhism the aged never yield to
anger. Wanting neither for necessaries nor
honor. the pathos of their serene old age Is
purely that Of years. peaceful end is
their lot.
