paradise of those who have to live on
next to nothing a day. Out Of curiosity

twenty-one. The contents were also very

varying. In the Broadway bars a more
elaborate meal is served. but of only
third as many dishes and at certain
hours; but on the east side of the free
lunch runs from morn till midnight in
many places. tt is curious to note too,
that considerable artistry Is shown even

dishes are set forth. I often wonder
what chance the cause of Temperance has

Policemen Lose Graft.

The Waldorf has just found out that
1t has been feeding thirty policemen
day In Its servants hall. It expects to
feed the three who are on its beat; but
1t didn't count on banqueting battalion.
The explanation is that "coppers'' there
are frequently changed. but those who had
original invitations, never having been
notified that the invitations were rescind-
ed, have been dropping in regularly for a
good filling. 1t is a time-honored Gus
tom for the big hotels here to ration the
policemen who guard their premises and
some times help their private detectives
to eject intruders; but the Waldorf man
ayers think that thirty is few too many
to supply gratis every day with beefsteak
sauce, Bernaise apricot pudding and char
lotte russo.

Betting on Cases

There used to be a saying that true
born Brton would bet on anything-even
on his deathbed Wilkie Celoins satir-
ized this national foible In extenso in his
remarkable novel Man and Wife" and
many other noted writer's have alluded
to 1t. The same might be said just as
truly of New Workers. Wall street and
the race track do not satisfy this Man
hattanese craving; they only stimulate 1t
and drive 1t into ever fresh avenues of
activity. Every celebrated case that
comes up into court has dozens of wag-
ers put on 1t. Take the Nordica collis-
ion scandal, for instance, the odds offer
ed against the beautiful prima donna
coming back into its jurisdiction to an
swer her husbands reiterated charges
against her and her lawyer would sur
prise you. Then again bets are offered
on the Rialto that she will return and
live again with Herr Doehme, who. in
deed, has lent some color to this theory
by leasing a costly bridal suite in a
prominent hotel, why should a man lease
a bridal suite unless he expects
again to have sweet bridal?
And how could a man after having loved
and lily ed with a gorgeous prima dona
don a marital bride again and trot in
h7l' eneal harness with any other girl?
Then there's the Rothchild case that
has attracted keen attention all over the
country in banking circles. Rothschild
has rottsn a sentence of nine years in
Sing Sing, really for wrecking a bank,
though TECHNICALLY for grand larceny Of
n ote said to be no good among note
