AN UNPAID-foK DINNER.
House, However, Got Acknowledge
ment of Excellent Service.

New York Tribune: Dinner was in
full swing at the Hotel Normandie, at
Broadway and Thirty-eighth street,
last evening, when a somewhat poorly
clad man verging toward 80 years oil
age entered the dining room, and, after
surveying the apartment for an instant,
selected a table near the window and
took up a menu card. The waiter whose
business it was to serve that partic-
ular table eyed him a bit doubtful, but
the mans assurance overawed him.
Besides, reflected the waiter. he may
be an eccentric millionaire. So he def
erentially approached the incongruous
guest.
"Ah, waiter" said the latter, suavely,
running his eye carelessly over the
card, bring me, if you please, a Martini
cocktail, composed of Plymouth gin
and the other customary ingredients.
And then you may bring me some blue
points a~nd-ah-some consomme Ju-
~lienne; these heavy soups disturb my
delicate digestion"
"Yessir,7 said the waiter, all his fears
dispelled.
"And-ah-while you are about it,
you may bring me next" went on the
eccentric guest, "a filet mignon larded
with mushrooms, and be sure that It
is tender-very tender. Some potatoes,
French fried, and--ah-celery. That
will be all for the present."
The order was filled as given, and
when the flet arrived the guest ordered
q quart of champagne. A second quart
followed the first. Then a 50-cent cigar
was demanded. At last the epicure,
leaning back in his chair with a sigh
of content, beckoned lazily to the at
tentive waiter and remarked Ian
guidly:
AN now, m'good Teller, be s'good
s t. bring me a Queen Anne roof"
"A Queen Anne roof" calculated the
waiter, helplessly. whats that, sir?"
But the happy guest had forgotten all
terrestrial things, lost in a sea of con-
tentment and champagne. The waiter
ventured to put one hand'on his should
er and repeated:
Whats a Queen Anne roof, sir, if
you please?" 70
Him! What?" murmured the cpl
cure, returning reluctantly to his sur
roundings.
whats a Queen Anne roof, sir?"
The son of luxury grinned sardoni-
cally. "It's On the house." he said.
1T was, too, and so was everything
else, amounting to a total of $9.40. A
policeman took the i%mpecunious diner
to the West Thirtieth street station,
where he said that he had no money,
and was James Hardy Of No. 223 East
Fourteenth street. 1t was a. most eX-
cellent dinner, he said. Upon my
word" he added, 81 think tn hotels

"Ah, shut up" snarled the sergeant,
as they led Hardy to a CELL.

Female College Failures.

The English anthropologist, Francis
Gallon, tells of a conversation which he
had lately had with the president of a
college for women. Mr.. Cation asked
this lady about the subsequent career
of the girls who graduated from the
college. She answered that about one
third of them derived real profit from
their education, that another third
profited very little by it, while the re-
naming third were an absolute fail
ure.
And what becomes of these. fail
ures?" asked Mr.. Cation.

METHODIST IN ENGLAND AND
AMERICA.

The American delegates to the Ecu
menlcal Methodist Conference, which
has just been sitting in London, found
wine and beer served on the tables OF
English Wesleyan ministers. TO the
remarks which some of them made on
the matter the Rev John Bond, Secre-
tary of the conference, replied.
My answer is that this is q free coun-
try. America is not. We reserve the
right to drink alcoholic liquors in mod
Grafton if we wish. The American die
tum would be ruled out by Wesley, who
drank wine to the end of his life.
But Mr.. Bond misses the point
America is free. No one is forced to
belong to the Methodist Church in
America But belonging to that
chuch, and especially if he be a preach
er, he should obey its mandates, those
expressed and those which, though
unexpressed, are understood. Speak
ing broadly, the Methodist Church
looks coldly upon what are termed
worldly pleasure" -daneing, theatel
going, wine-bibbing, etc, and without
entering into the realm of disputation,
we fail to see how an entirely con
sclentious Methodist can indulge in
them.

lunches Of cattle. II seems q strange
thing hat any one should como to the
font and ask that the state pay out for
its protection more money than that
interest pays into the treasury
Every man who is in the business of
raising stock of any kind is not in that
business simply for recreation He is
engaged in it because he can. and does.
make money out of it. When it reaches
the stage where he cannot make mon
ey he will quit it and go at something
else. We have not heard of any one
going out of the cattle and horse bust
ness. on account of the depredatiOns
of wolves on their herds. The sheep
men are not. we understand, asking
for protection from wolves but want a
bounty on coyotes.
We have continually held up before
us the importance to the community
OF this stock industry. No one denies
that it Is an important industry. nor
that it brings lots OF money into the
country. So is the grocery business,
the dry goods business. the hardware
business. and these industries all bring
lots Of money int, the country. yet
they are not asking to be protected
against anything which works harm
to them-not even fire-if they did
they would be laughed at. Yet these
industries all pay large sums into the
county and state treasury.
The school tax which "Ranchman'
cites does not, in our estimation, enter
into the argument at all. 1t is not :
parallel case. The education of oul
be called a business" or industry
in any such sense as the cattle bust
ness. In the education of our children
we are moi protecting the business o.
any one class of people. but all favor
ed alike.
AS we said before: men are in the
cattle business because it pays, and /
there never had been a dollar paid on
for a bounty on wolves the industry
would not flag. or lack for men to en-
gage in it. 1t is, perhaps. outside Of
