STORY OF LUNCHEON.
Amusing Account of the Way Eliza
beth Jordan Was OutWitted

The following story is told about
Miss Elizabeth G. Jordan, whose new
book, Tales of Destiny, has just
been published by the Harpers. When
Miss Jordan was working on the staff
of one of the chief newspapers in
New York she had an assistant whom
we will call Miss @. One day Miss
Q ordered modest luncheon brought
to her desk. when Miss Jordan observed
it temptingly displayed during Miss Q's
absence from the room. Miss Q fail
ing to return, Miss Jordan raised
cover OF one of the dishes, which prov
ed very attractive to a hungry woman
whose absorption in work had caused
her to forget her own luncheon. The
tasting of one dish led to the eating
of it. Still Miss @ did not arrive.
Miss Jordan seated herself and throw
ing care to the winds, ate the entire
luncheon, carefully replaced the COW
ers, and returned to her desk. Pres
emily Miss Q arrived and sat down
with an air of pleasant satisfaction.
Removing the covers one by one she
discovered her loss, and without re.
mark left the room. 1t was not long
before waiter appeared at Miss Q's
desk bearing a tray loaded down with
all the delicacies of the season, in
cluding quail on toast. To this sump-
tuous repast Miss @ now sat down.
Meanwhile the waiter had approached
Miss Jordan and presented her bill
She looked at the amount. 1t was
$3.50.
This was to be charged to you,
nm said the waiter.
Certainly" said Miss Jordan, con-
tinuing her work without the slightest
change of countenance.

DOG SAYS HIS PRAYERS.
New Orleans Paper Tells Of a Remark
able Canine.

Down in a rum shop in the old
quarter the other evening l came
across a praying dog" said an observ-
ant man. He was bulldog, rather
NANCY looking, with big red hairless
splotches on his head and body, and
he was really cheap, low-down piece
of dogfesh, SO far as appearances
went His master was a long. lean,
lank, dissipated-looking man. with q
wild, reckless cast Of countenance,
Just the kind of a fellow. in fine, that
one would be inclined to dodge in
barroom. But the dog seemed to like
him. The man seemed to suit him,
and when the poor dog was not car
rying out the instructions of his mas
ter he was rubbing his head against
his masters leg and otherwise giving
evidence of his devotion. The dog
was well trained. He had learned to
do a great many little things that
would amuse men who are in the
habit of Willing away their time in
barrooms.
After he had carried the dog
through the course pretty well he
yelled out to him, Say your prayers
The dog looked at him for a second,
as If he wanted to be excused, and it
was long, pleading. pathetic look.
But the master did not heed 1t. Say
your prayers he said again, sternly.
The dog threw his paws up on an old
empty beer keg, buried his red. rough
looking face as nearly as he could be-
tween his NANCY fore-feet and began
a low murmuring growl, as II re-
peating something he had been taught
to say.
"'Say amen sad the man with
the dissipated look, and the dog raised
his voice to a higher key, and, as
nearly as he could, said amen Then
he pulled his paws off the beer keg.
put them on the floor again and looked
wistfully at his master. 1t was a pa
thetic sort of thing. and l was just
wondering II the man hadn't taught
his dog a lesson which he. with su-
pertor mind. had forgotten. New Or

An Impromptu Conspiracy.

forget just now what character it
is, that Shakespeare makes to say
Lord, Lord, how this world is given
to lying!" But l was reminded of the
exclamation while eating lunch In a
restaurant the other day.
A young man asked his friend to
pass the bowl of coleslaw.
That's not coleslaw," said the
other, as he pushed it along, its
celery"
What are you givin me?" demand
ed the first speaker.
Chopped celery replied the other
unblushingly. Then he winked at the
waiter and said:
George, isn't that celery?"
"Yes, sab; dat's celery" replie,
George, promptly.
The first young man was dazed, al
then he appealed to a couple OF type
writer girls who were eating at tho
next table, but who had listened tt
the dispute.
They sweetly assured him that the
bowl contained celery.
Then he turned to a man at the
end of the table who had watched
proceedings but had said nothing.
What do you say it is?" he de
manded.
ITS apple butter
Then everybody burst out laughing
and the young man who had asked for
the coleslaw recognized an impromptu
conspiracy to deceive him.

HIT IN THE SOLAR PLExUs.
How an Elk Won a Fight With Sav.
age and Hungry Cougar.

The cougar does not leap upon its
big game nor drop upon it out of tree
tops, but sneaks close or lies in wait
upon the level and goes from cover
in straight rush like the tiger or
the hunting leopard. 1t endeavors to
seize upon the lower throat or shoul-
der with its teeth and to twist the

Felix Michaud, a most reliable free
trapper of the old regime, once told
me he had watched lion stalking a
bull elk. It was Teton mountain
from cover in a headlonS rush, but
missed its neck stroke as the bull
lunged ahead, catching him at the
point Of the shoulder and going un-
der his belly. Both animals were
bowled over in a mix-up OF hair, hoofs,
claws and horns. In a brief struggle,
as they rolled over together. the cou-
gar was thrown into the air as if
hoisted by spring trap by a con
vulsive kick from the bulls hind leg.
The maddened elk gained its legs and
chased It's enemy off the field. An
unlocked for punch in the wind had
taken the sand out of pussy.

In Somewhat Of a Hurry.

Harry Furniss tells of a testy but
popular Scotch lecturer who, on a
tour of the Lowlands, met with a
chairman so impressed with the i'm
portance OF his office that, in intro
ducing the visitor. he actually talked
to the audience for an hour. The
gathering, a large one, bore it all
patiently. This was the chafrmans
peroration:
"It is unnecessary for me to say
more; so. l call upon the distin
guished gentleman who has come so
far to give us his address tonight"
The gentleman who had come so
far arose. stepped forward. bowed,
pulled out and looked at his watch.
and then said:
You want my address. 1t is 1922
Rob Roy Crescent, Edinburg. A let
ter will find me there. Good night"
Saving which he left the stage and
the hall before anybody could inter

Memorial of Murdered Gar.

1t is said that the bedroom of Gar
Alexander III is kept exactly as it
was on the morning he left to BE-
brought back in an hour fatally tore
and mangled by the assassin's bomb.
A recent traveller was given the priv
ilege of viewing the apartment, which
is simple almost beyond belief in its
appointments. A few toilet articles,
including couple OF well-worn
brushes, lie on little table, and the
half smoked cigarette which his i'm
perial majesty laid down before leav-
ing the room still reposes in the ash
tray where he put it.
