The October meeting of the Hart

BERLIN RESTAURANTS.
they Arc Divided Into Two Glasses,
Beer and No Beer.

Bepr and No Beer.
The German likes his beer, as the
world has been taught to believe;
but, whether he likes or dislikes it,
the fact remains that he cannot get
it in the fashionable restaurants of
Berlin. If you go to so fine hotel
as the Bristol and there order beer
with your meal it may be that the
maitre dhotel, purely from the
goodness OF his heart, will send out
and get it for you, in which case it
will be brought to you in a beautiful
little stone Jug, and you will pay
for it five times over. But if you
have the temerity to order your ia
vorite brew at such a restaurant as
Killers, in Inter den Linden, or
Der Reichsholf, in the Wilhelm
strasse, you will come such a copper
as did the American who asked for
plum pudding at the Cafe Richie, in
Paris.
'Monsieur," said the stately
maitre d'hotel on that occasion,
"this cafe has never served, does
not serve and never will serve plum
puddingp
Not quite so bad as that in Berlin,
for if you are willing to first order
bottle of wine, which you may
drink or give to the waiter or put
in your pocket, as you please, you
will then be graciously permitted to
drink as much beer as you have a
taste for. If you are teetotaler or
won't order wine, then you can get
neither food nor beer, and may the
devil take you for troubling them.
For this the Berliner has to thank
the wine trust, which controls the
fashionable establishments of the
city and has led to the significant
division of all restaurants into two
classes-the "wine restaurants" and
the "beer restaurants" - Famous
Cafes and Restaurants Abroad" by
Aubrey Lanston, in Bohemian Mag
azine.

Stingy pitchers have been numer-

In only two regulation games has a
National league twirler held his
opponents without a hit this season,
but in one Of these games Wiltse

safety for 10 innings. In that battle
he came within one of beating Soy"
Youug's worlds record, for only
one batter reached first in-1o innings,
and that was on base on balls in
the ninth. The other no-hit pitcher
in the old league this year was
Rucker of Brooklyn, also left

Ouida, the novelist, wrote: "The
sympathy Of your dog is unfailing,
unobtrusive. If you are sad, so is
he, and if you are merry, none is SO
willing to leap and laugh with you
as he. For your dog you are never
poor. The attachment of the dog to
man outweighs and almost obliter-
ates attachment in him to his own
race. There is something shocking
to our high opinion of him in the
callousness with which he will sniff
at the stiff body of brother dog.
He will follow his master to the
grave and sometimes die on it."
