10 show how anxious some people
are to have it known that they are

restaurants the following story was
told:
Some months ago a man came here
early in the day and said that he would
have a little party Of friends to supper
with him after the theater that even
ing and ordered what he wanted. His
order showed that he vas unaccustom-
ed to the part, but it is u business to
fill orders. and we said that his supper
would be served all right. Then he
laid down a sum of money, more than
enough to pay the bill. and said, This
will save me the trouble this evening"
and went away. The supper passed
off nicely. the mans friends from the
country or the country part of the city
seemed to enjoy their spree. and finally
the host asked for his check, looked at
it and then said grandly and loud
enough for all to hear. Charge it, The
supper was a grand affair in the eyes
Of the guests, but the climax-the order
to charge it'-overwhelmed them, and
I dare say the man accomplished his
object. which vas evidently to make
himself solid with his guests."-New

There are times. even in the best reg
ulated families. when it becomes nec-
essary to discipline some young and
stirring member of the household. The
other evening an indulgent father con-
c1uded that such a time had arrived, as
his S-year-old son had committed an
act Of INSTRUMENTATION and threatened
to repeat it. Rebukes and warnings
were in vain. and at last the youngster
was given a sound spanking. Half an
hour later. after friendly relations had
been resumed. an older son came home
and was somewhat surprised when the
S-year-old said to him: "You ought to
have been here awhile ago. Me and
papa had a fght."-Pittsburg Chroni-

How Some Big Accounts That Are

In New York City.
Legal proceedings recently taken to

belongs to the fashionable" class the
amount Of a tailor's bill revealed the
fact that the a was poor, had 10
money and no means of support and
owed many bills. Besides %tailors. shoe
makers and hatters, he owed money to
florists, jewelers., livery stable keepers,
dealers in theater tickets. shirtmakers,
stationers and restaurateurs. One of
the largest bills against the man was
contracted in the course of several
years at a prominent up town restau-
rant.

place to the manager, pointing to the
item.

represents hundreds Of charges and has
grown slowly to it's present magnif-
cent proportions"
"But how is it done-how do people
run big bills in a restaurant"
"Well, in the first place. because we
look upon men who come here as gen.
tlemen and treat them accordingly. l
don't remember just how the account
in question was opened. but usually it
is done in this way: Some day. after a
man receives his check, he scrawls his
name across its face and tells the wait

day and settles. his little bill and
thanks us for accommodating him. If,
however. the man intends to work the
house, he does not come back the next
day and settle. but waits three or four
days. Then he drops in and orders 4

dinner and scribbles his name across

Little by little the account grows,
but never by any really large charge,
and when at last the man has a little
dinner party with a big appetite the
check is liable to be o. KID because
the account is already so large that il
would be poor policy to turn it down.
