whales and lion bottles: bottles with
horizontal stories or perpendicular di-
visions and glass jugs with horns or

Free Lunch System
Is Badly at Fault.

make the story short. 10 O'Clock arriv-
ed and the porter announced ready.
Immediately there was a rush for the
counter. where bologna, cheese. rad
ishas. etc, had been prepared. Beer
was drawn for all. tice-cent pieces
were hastily thrown on the counter,
and as soon as the beer had been con-
sumed all made a dash for the back
door in order to make the next 10
O'Clock lunch in the saloon around the
corner.
Yes. senator. they all rushed for
the door except the afflicted man who
mat,c an effort to keep up but was
lost in the shuttle. The others reached
the second saloon barely in time to
these the afflicted man entered in his
measured steps. One glance at the
bar suhi@ed. He was too late The
lunch was gone. The disappointment
and chagrln pictured ON his face was
Very apparent and We inwardlN sympa-
thized With him. Then some one sug,
gested that if the lunches had been
one=half an hour apart the afflicted
man could have been on hand at both
places. The logic of the remark was
apparent and the principles Of the So
ciety for the establishment of rotation
in the free lunch system were first
devolyed. This is the origin of the
society and | think you can appreciate
the nobility of our Intentions
Senator Caldwell was favorably inl-
pressed with the remarks of the Sc
rious young man and he gave him to
understand that he was in sympathy
with the movement and would support
any measure introduced in the next
general assembly having in view rota
,, tion in free lunches. 1t was then $50
o'clock, and Senator Caldwell and the
young man pulled out for the nearest
free lunch, so that the former could
be given living illustration of the in
justice of the present system of dis
pensing free lunches.

A Literary Ten TODer.

There have been many literary tea
topers, but William Hazlitt, the writer
and critic. probably surpassed every
other author iii the singularity and
strength of his rotations. Rising usu-
ally at l or > O'Clock III the day. he
would sit over his breakfast of ex-
ceedingly strong black tea ;jhd IL toast
ed French roll-if he had no work on
hand-for hours, silent, motionless and
self absorbed as a Turk.
1t was the only stimulant or luxury
he ever took, and he was very fas-
tidious about its quality, using always
the most expensive kind and consum-
ing, when he lived alone, about a
pound a week. He always made the
tea himself. half filling the teapot with
tea, pouring boiling water on it and
then almost Immediately pouring it out
and mingling with it great quantity
of sugar and cream
Such Il beverage must have been de-
licious. Indeed, Douglas Jerrold says,
there was fascination in it," but as
daily stimulant it must have been most
deleterioUs. and us the essayist died
after several severe attacks from dis
ease of the digestive organs it prob
ably caused his death-Beverages.

Phcn D III eNNI HONEYMOON.

\ newly married couple were on their
way from Antwerp to Paris when one
of their fellow passengers cut his
throat with Il razor in the railway car
riage in which they were travelling.
Another shock awaited them in Paris.
A visitor in the hotel in which they
We're staying was killed in the lift in
their presence.
On Sunday they called on friend
living in Paris who had invited them to
lunch at his house. When extending
the invitation the friend observed,
laughing, You will not find any corpses
with me-" But when they arrived at
the house their host greeted them with
a request to have the lunch put off, as
his servant had died that morning in a
bathtub from heart disease
This was too much for the bride, who
tainted and then went into Mysteries.
The couple subsequently took the
first train back to Antwerp.-London

People Try 10 Cross Market Street Bridge
While in Motion

Since the Wilmington A. A. baseball
team has been playing ball over Market
street bridge. traffic over the structure
has been very heavy, and that more
people have not been injured is due to
the vigilance and care exercised by
Miller Gregg. the bridgetender. Ere
it has happened that a tugboat
or some other craft was passing
tho draw Just as the people were re-
turning from the bali game. When the
bridge is turned ON again they jump
and crowd it before It has come to a
stop, and pay no attention to tho warn
ings given them.
Several times Mr.. Gregg has been
unable TO lock the draw owing to the
weight of the crowd which hm-ries on
the bridge. This makes It necessary
TO keep tho engine going as the bridge
may swing around. The people do not
