or the Man Who Didn't want Any Money,
but Who Did want Something 10 Eat.
Il have read said the retired waiter,
"a good many stories about champion
eaters, men who could eat 30 many pounds
Of beefsteak, or 30 many pies, and all that
at a sitting, but / don't believe there was
ever one OF them that could come within a
million miles Of a man saw once, who
was just only an amateur and didn't pretend
to be any champion at all.
i was waiting then In a regular dinner
restaurant, a good one, whore We kept
clean tablecloths on the tables all the time
and gave everybody a clean napkin, and
servoda good square meal for a quarter Of a
dollar. One day ono Of our regular Gus
toners, a man who always sat at one Of my
tables, brought in 70 eat there this amateur
who turned out 70 be q wonder.
HE had met this man In the street, and
the nan had given him the regular song
and dance about how he hadn't eaten any
thing for four days, and he was hungry
and be didn't want any money, but would
our man take him to some restaurant and
feed him, that was all he Rsked. And he
wasn't a had looking man he wouldn't
queer the restaurant, and 90 our man took
a chance and brought him in.
@And he ate one Of our regular dinnOrs
and when he'd finished Oh the pie
Well says our man, how did you
Mighty good said the stranger, but,
you know, haven't eaten anything for four
days
Then eat some more says our man.
Thank you, said the stranger, and
he began again, on soup, and ate straight
through another dinner to pie again, 10
oglsive,
How about II nowf said our man.
Why, I'm beginning 10 feel now
said the hungry man, that I'm getting
somewhere within reaching distance Of the
last time ate; and ct that our regular
passed me the nod. and started In again,
brin ging In the soup and the regulation
bread and butter and after that the beef
a Ia mode and tho vegetable and then
the pie as usual, the man eating everything
and evidently enjoying II all. And whom
he got through the third dinner
faro you getting nearer 70 itr says our
II think that one more square meal
Ike that, said tho stranger, would connect
me up all right
And I brought e 70 him, his fourth din
ner, and he ate Il 70 the last crumb and
sat back contented. Said he hadn't felt
30 good IN four months, and he was ready
now for anything
And that man, you understand, was
only an amateur, q man never heard Of.
I'd be willing 10 bet what little mansy I've
saved up that with any sort Of suitable
preparation he could eat any OF these cham
pions that ve read 80 much about night

Of courss, but It Is wonderfully penetrating
to the average sleeper. II can be heard
az the first house from the corner as Il
begins TO make its way down the block.
The whistles used by the postmen now are
all Of kind that make II seem az II II took
the last breath in their bodies TO Bqueezo
out the sound.
The early morning talk on the sidewalk
between the tradesmen and the whistling
OF the boys In the streets also contribute
TO New Hork's determined purpose TO keep
it's citizens awake. Paderewsh said that
the whistllng Of Americans was the only
sign that the nation was not musical The
clang Of the trolley car il always with Us
and the elevated trains whistle sounds
more frequently than it did before th"
strike.

days Il the man who delivers coal. Many
householders and ell boarding houses
Just now are taking in coal and Il Is a noisy
process. The hour OF beginning seems
TO the night worker unnecessarily early.
The first fan Of the coal down the iron chutes
Is enough to wake up an entire neighbor-
hood and the succeeding showers make
sleep impossible.

vised and published.
1t was during the opera season Of 1892
1900 that Mr.. Drury, who was a constant
Attendant at the opera, decided that he
could find among the singers In his own
race enough talent to give q performance
Of Bizet's opera in satisfactory fashion.
Carmen had that year been the principal
success Of the season at the Metropolitan
owing to the presence Of Emma Calv9 In
the company. That work was therefore
selected for the first effort TO give an OPP
cratic performance with negroes.
The success Of the performance was
complete and made the company per-
mAnent. The next year the opera selected
was Gomez's rarely sung I'll Guarany,'
As the characters are supposed TO be In
dams. the work seemed especially suited
70 this company. The next year the com
pany sang Faust and the following year
gave Verdi's Aida which was the most
ambitious attempt Of the singers, Il
PagliacciS and 'Cavalleria Rusticana' were
sung in 1904.
Once or twice in his career as an operatio
impresario Sir. Drury has found 1t necessary
to call In white singers to help out the
casts, but as q rule only negro talent
has been employed. The services Of negro
singers are 20 much In demand now that II Is

"KRAiUT TIMBER"


James Ashley. who confesses to 81
years, and who Is well known to all
the Older residents of this part. has
been delivering fine lot of cabbage to
people about town the past few weeks
and on inquiry 1t was learned that he
has raised about 1000 head of "kraut
timber the past season and has found
good sale for them at SO cents per
dozen They were all tended to by Mr..
Ashley, and in addition he raised and
harvested upwards Of 100 bushels OF
onions and big lot of summer vege-
tables which he sold out in small lots
to hotels and private families. De-
spite his advanced age, Mr.. Ashley is
a better man physically than any NUM-
ber Of fellows twenty years younger,
and bids fair to live and enjoy many
more years. The rigorous winters are,
however, beginning to tell ON him a
little and he is thinking of spending a
few months at the home of daughter
in Dallas, Tex, place he visited two
years ago and liked it very much.
