How He Cooked 1t.

Roast beef which happens to be rare
has been at times turned into we'll
done meat with rapidity that the lay
patrons Of restaurants could not un-
derstand. Yesterday one Of the men
in restaurant who had cut away q
piece of roast beef observed to the
waiter that he regretted it was SO
rare.
'T'll fix that all right" said the wait
er, taking up the plate.
But I've cut it," was the answer.
That seemed to make no difference,
for the waiter carried off the beef.
He returned presently bearing slice
that looked quite different. But when
it was cut the meat was just the same,
although it was dark outside. The
waiter was panied that the guest
should be in the least dissatisfied.
"Why, I never worked in restau-
rant in my life where it wasn't the
customary to make the roast beef well
done by holding it in boiling water"
said he with an injured air. That's
what we always do when we have to
take it back for a customer"
