day. when well dressed man tried 10 MT MISS
Ress,s Matthewson, the cashier, in the lace pe-
cause she caught him trying TO ger out WIthout
paving the full amount due.
The man had eaten luncheon amounting u
25 cents and when he went To pay the cashier
he said his bill was 10 cents. Miss Matthe"sou
who had seen what the man had eaten, rang up
% cents on the cash register and gave hlfh 'fe
change out of dollar bill. Not having any
check system in this place. the patrons announce
their own amounts. When the man saw that he
WAS IS cents short he demanded the rest of the
change Miss Matthewson refused TO give IL 10
him She said she saw what he had eaten. lie
denied it, however. and threatened to report
her.
.Jus, as he was about to depart he turned to
the Young woman and said: IF you don't give
me the rest of that money TIL smash you pe-
tween the two eyes" at the same time putting
his fist close TO her face.
Instantly the young woman picked up heavy
china sponge bowl and said, How dare you ad-
dress me in that manner? If you touch me III
brain you with this" raising the bowl over her
head.
Several men who were eating near by nearing
the dispute jumped up from their seats and
the men grabbed the fighter and general nix

the cause of the trouble and being friends of the
cashier threw the disturber out Mr. HargraVe,

In each case they said they had made mistake
Two OF them. however, did not have sufficient
money and left jewelry of some kind as secur-
fty One of the men who was short five cents
had nothing but a diamond ring, which he left
with the manager.
"I was surprised" said the manager. that a
