Dinner that
Cost $4,000

Probably the most expensive dinner
given at Delmonico's restaurant, on
Fourteenth street, New York, was that
given by Morton Peto to the tea and
coffee merchants of New York, two
hundred in number. 1t cost twenty-five
thousand dollars. The rarest wines and
the most elaborate decorations were
mere incidents. The menu cards were
of gold and the guests sat on silk cush-
ions on which their names were en-
broidered. In the center OF the table
was miniature lake in which swan
swans taken from Central Park. Clara
Louise Kellogg received $1,000 for
singing two songs at this feast, and a
present besides of a diamond bracelet.
The salon was smothered in flowers.
Another dinner given at one of the
Delmonico establishments, for ten peo-
pie, cost four hundred dollars a plate.

One day when out walking in the

something concerning another friend.
But unfortunately he could not re-
member the other friends name. and
at last, frantic with his Intellectual

him through several streets to the
residence of the other and there

enteen surnames were registered as
trademarks by applicants of the same
name. Then the policy of the patent
office suddenly changed; the letter Of
the main act of congress was stuck to
like grim death, but the spirit of the
supplemental act was entirely crushed
out of it.

ciple that surname must not be used
as trademark is that surname
cannot be the exclusive property Of
any one person as against all others
who own the name.

CHAPTER V.

CHAPIER V.
with the first peep of day I retired
from the open air to my old lair among
the sandhills, there to await the com
Ing OF my wife. The morning was
gray, wild and melancholy: the wind
moderated before sunrise. and then
went about and blew in puffs from the
shore; the sea began to go down, but
the rain still fell without mercy. Over
all the wilderness of links there was

Sure Cure for Blues.

Have you d dark blue pain in the small of the back, do you experience hot flashes
 are the whites of your eyes turning vel low, with dark blue rings under them, do you experience loss of appetite, have loss of memory when your wife asks you to order the groceries, are you startled out of your sleep by dreams of being dragged through eight yards of lead pipe by seven bald headed angels? If so, 1t is not safe to neglect this condition, or it will grow on you. Get out and hitch onto few of the weeds in the garden or on the empty lot, and lift them out before breakfast. Take an old siding and slap the rugs a few times that are left out on the line. All this is a sovereign remedy for that state of mind which used to be known as the "charlie hoss."
