SOMETHING ABOUT GAME BIRDS
Eaten Out of Season by Pleasant
Little Fiction.

Little Fiction.
New York Times.
Il assure you that both the yenison
and the birds are imported" said the
head waiter at one of the Broadway res
taurants when a patron protested against
the service of game out of season. 1t
is brought over in the French steamers,
and is not American game at all, though
we do not tell our patrons that unless
they make objections, as you have done"
So the man who would rot have the game
law violated tried q French quail and
found 1t to be wonderfully like the same
sort of bird he has been in the habit of
shooting at, at least IN this country.

asked the scribe of the steward, with
whom he had a sufficiently long ac-
quaintance to warrant a familiar chat
together. We'll, the waiter went the
limit, 1 must confess. He had been told
to say the game was imported but the
French business was a fancy of his own

the house. or course 1t is an open Sc
cret that they are imported from no
more distant point than the cold storage
warehouses, where there IS always a
supply of most any sort of game for the
right purchasers. Our patrons want IL,
and We have TO give them what they
ask for or else lose their trade We
never ask too many questions about

upon the enemy, and will finally retire

promptly repeated by the party attacked,
