THE WAITER WAS CURIOUS.
Poked His Hand Into a Bag Of "Crab-
Apples" with Disastrous
Result,

-Four men, two of them carrying a big
potato sack between them, walked into
the Hotel Vendig cafe, at Twelfth and
Market streets, shortly before closing time
the other night, and sat down at one of
the tables. The bag was carefully de-
posted In q corner, relates the Philadel-
phia Press.
A German waiter took the order with
n eye on the sack. Finally his Gu
riosity got the better of him.
DOT Is a big bag, amt it," he said.
"Vot is in him."
"Apples, Fritz" said one of the men.
Take SOM nome to the children"
The waiter accepted the invitation and
plugged his hand into the sack. He
brought it out again in a hurry, with a
hard-shell crab c~linging to one of his
fingers.
Two hundred brothers and sisters of the
first crab promptly took advantage of The
open mouth of the bag to crawl to lib
erty. They backed out of the sack with
a rush and took possession of the cafe,
nipping everything in reach. Several
seized trouser legs and shoestrings and
held fast.
Heroic walters made a satie with
brooms and swept the crsstaceans back
into the bag and tied it up securely.
Say, please" demanded the German
waiter, sucking vigorously at his injured
finger, 'vot kind Of abblcs do you call
DOSE"
"Crab-apples," said the four men, in
chorus.
