GREENBACKS FOR A NAPKIN
A Big Man In q Restaurant Aston
.--. ishes the Others. -.
New York Times.

"- New York Times.
I want four OF Ave slabs of bread and
menat," said big, ford man who had
just seated himself in Park row restau-
rant ''anh I want 'em served in double
quick time. too"
The girl to whim the command was
given hurried away to fetch the order,
and the man leaned back and studied his
surroundings. He had not long to indulge
this contemplative mood, for the girl, be-
ing spurred on to extra effort by the sharp
tones of the big mans voice, had gath
cred up the sandwiches and the coffee
with extraordinary celebrity and was back
at the table before her energetic customer
had fairly had time to compose himself.
Her haste was productive Of forgetfulness,
however and the luncheon was served
minus napkin. The big man was much
more susceptible to influences absent than
present, and his first inquiry concerned
the napkin. .. s- ..-. a.
Where is it, ne demanded. ''Why
don't you keep a bunch of EN- right here
on the table SO fellow can help him
self? Bring me a napkin the very arst
thing you do" -...,.. ,.. . -..-
The girl made her way to the other
end of the room on dead trot. but in
stead of returning as promptly as before
she fingered in the neighborhood Of the
coffee urn until the big mans small stock
of patience was totally exhausted.
THANK heavenH' said he at last, 81
don't have to depend on any restaurant
keeper or his employees for napkins. I
carry 'em right along with me, and they re
of a kind no restaurant this side of Ca
naan can afford to supply to its patrons. +"
The lunchers in that corner Of the room
ceased to MUNICH and nibble and trans
ferred their attention from their plates
to their noisy neighbor. The big man
stopped talking and produced the widely
advertised napkin. Then was when the
rest of the men opened their eyes, for
they beheld as substitute for napkin,
| not handkerchief of silk or fine linen.
| which they expected to see, but crisp s.
bill More than one young fellow who
| never sees IS except on pay day turned
pale with establishment when the big man
dried his moist lips with the precious bill
and crumpled 1t and twisted it as care
| lessly as though it was only bit OF
worthless paper. Their Amusement evil
IDENTIFY tickled the vanity of the Park row
| Croesus, for even after the girl had
placed pile Of napkins foot high at his
right hand he continued to FLIP his
money as unconcernedly as if IS bills had
been used in the capacity of napkins
since the day when paper money first be-
! came legal currency.

Huron, S. D., March 18.-The appoint
ment Of A. w. Burt Of this city as attor
ney general of South Dakota, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of John L.
Pyle, gives much satisfaction to attorneys
and others here, and that the same senti-
ment exists throughout the state is at
tested by numerous kilograms and mes
sages Of congratulations received by Judge
Burt. &. .&..
Judge Burtt is a native of Watertown,
N. Y, and has been resident of Beadle
county since 1881, almost all Of the time
being spent in this city in the practice Of
law. He has held many places of public
trust, and as an attorney, stands with
the foremost members of the bar In South
Dakota. He was associated with the late
William B. Sterling as attorney for the
Chicago & North Western Railway COM
pany; served three terms as city attor-
ney for Huron. and was member of the
state senate while Governor Herreid was
lieutenant governor.
The appointment comes to him wholly
unsolicited; in fact he had urged the ap-
pointment of Alva e. Taylor, assistant
attorney general during Mr.. Plye's term,
and who is likely to be retained in that
position by Judge Burtt.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, March 18.--The supreme
court will investigate the action Of Judge
=. w. Harvey of Butte in striking from
the files all Of the sensational aff1davits
made against him in the Minnie Healy
decision, when he orerruied the motion
Of Miles Finlen for new trial last
Saturday. The supreme court had issued
writ Of mandate to compel him to rule
upon the motion for a new trial. He
made return that he had ruled upon the
motion and had stricken out all of the
af11davits. Counsel for Finlen maintain
that the af1davits constituted the basis
of the motion for new trial and that in
striking them out he has moved the
grounds upon which a new trial was based
and left nothing upon which to formulate
an appeal to the court.
The court has ordered Harvey to file
an amended return to the writ of man
date, setting forth whether he struck out
the affidavits before he ruled upon the
motion for new trial. If the court COM
pels him to reinstate the affidavits, this
will bring them before the supreme court,
and may bring about a reversal of the
famous case. re.
AS soon as an appeal from Harvey s
decision is properly before the supreme
court, that tribunal will be asked for an
injunction shutting down Heinse's opera
ton OF the Minnie Healy until the appeal
from Harney's judgment can be heard
about two years hence. The Injunction
would prevent Heinze from taking out
about POO tons Of valuable copper ore a
day, as he Is now doing anrs.. o.. SCI. .
