A Protracted Dinner.

The customs Of restaurants and of diners IN
Paris are different from those of New York,
for such story as the following is unprece'
denied in the lobster belt":
Three ladies' were taken bya "fetard" -
supper at fashionable restaurant. BY br ak
fast time the banquet had just come to an md.
The gilded youth suggested tea and toast,
which was brought, and took the party on to
the hour for luncheon. That meal was order
ed. served, and dispatched. Afternoon tea
time still found the party in the same restau-
rant rooms. Toward in the evening the
glded and persistent youth called for cash,
clean shirt ana dinner. The landlord lent
800 francs. A shirt was brought in on sal
yer, and the youth retired TO dressing ro IN
to freshen himself up for dinner The latter
meal was duly served and eaten. Then the
three ladies and their host considered II was
time to go home, having spent exactly twenty
four hours in the restaurant. Before they
left the landlord sent in his little bill. Meals
and wines, 407 francs loan, 800 francs per-
fumery, so francs 80 centimes; one gentleman s
dress shirt 10 francs cigars and cigaretts, 65
francs % confines cab fare, II francs total,
S34 francs 70 centimes. The fetard" SAID the
charges were exorbitant, and refused IN pay.
But the restaurant keeper having brought the
matter into the courts, the latter have decld-
ed that his account was not, all things consid-
cred, excessive, and have ordered defendant
to settle it to the full amount OF sl66.sS.

His Clear Memory.

a story is told of an eminent lawyer
receiving severe rcprimand from 4 wit
ness whom he was trying to browbeat.
1t was an important issue, and in order
to save his cause from defeat it was ne.
ccssary that the lawyer should impeach
the witness. He endeavored to do it on
the ground of age i'll the following man
ner:
How old are you - asked the lawyer.
"Scventy-two years" replied the wit
ness.
"Your memory, of course, is not so bril-
liant and vivid as it was twenty years
ago, is it ~ asked the lawyer.
II do not know but it is" answered
the witness.
State some circumstance which occur
red, say, twelve years ago" said the law
yer, land we shall he able to see how
well you can remember"
II appeal to your honor, said the wit
ness, "if am to be Intercepted in this
manner. 1t is insolent."
You had better answer the question:"
replied the judge.
Eyes, sir; state it," said the lawyer.
well, sir, if you compel me to do it 1
will. About twelve years ago you studied
in Judge IS office, did you not :"
Yes" answered the lawyer.
well, sir, remember your father COM
ing into my office and saving to me, MIR.
d., my son is to be examined tomorrow,
and | wish you would lend me $l5 to
buy him suit of clothes l remember
also, sir, that from that day to this he
has never paid me that sum. That, sir, |
remember as though it were Yesterday"

Did You Ever?

Did you ever wake up in the morning
with start under the impression that
you had oversight yourself, jump up and
ON looking at your watch discover that
it was half hour earlier than usual and
then crawl back for 4 little nap?
1t is just like finding money. You had
expected that you would have to jump
into your clothes, hurry through your
breakfast and run to catch the train, and
YOU find instead that You have time for
one more dream and then sufficient time
to tie your necktie and lcisurcly discuss
the coffee and rolls.
Few joys are equal to this. Meeting
an old friend or discovering a stray dime
in the pocket of an old vest cannot
match it.
You stretch yourself thoroughly, lay
out plans for the day and when the half
hour has about expired you slowly rise
and look at your watch again and find
that it has stopped and that according
toits count you still have that half hour.

The Colonel, who held fast to Miller's
hand, was looking into the face of a
stcrn-visaged woman with whitening

And tried to think all for the best.
Cheer up! Weary heart the long voyage

The lights will CLEAN out from the shore;

And you will find rest cN ermorc.

The clouds will be all swept away.

And all will be glorious day.
