lone joyce in New York last Christmas
declared Charlie Miles of the Milwaukee
road. Joyce, you know, represents the
Colorado Midland in Southern Califor-
mia. He was in New York last Christ
mas and wandered into the new Astor
hotel for dinner. The cafe was in holt
day attire, and there was long table
laden with appetizing Injuries and deli
eaeies that would have made a feast
of Lucullus look like coffee and dough-
nuts. When Joyce entered the cafe the
head waiter invited him to inspect the
wonderful display; but it made his
mouth water, and filled his soul with
large regret. So he cut it short, sat
down at a table and ordered mutton
chops. When he was through with his
meal he summoned the waiter and asked
for check.
There is no charge, said the watt
er. This is Christmas, and everything
is free
"And Joyce had passed up all Of the
good things and eaten mutton chops.

dent. The Japanese ENJOYS remained
with the president for two hours.
Luncheon was served at 1870, the EN-
voys being entertained by President and
Mrs. Roosevelt. There were no other
guests. During and after the luncheon
the president and his guests discussed
the peace arrangements. Baron Komura
and Minister Takahira expressed to the
president their appreciation of his ef-
forts, to which they attributed largely
the success of the conferences in reach
ing an agreement. A few minutes be-

their leave, being conveyed to the j.
