"Don't let people tell you that the
Americans have quit eating pie or that
they are gradually losing their fond
ness for that kind of pastry" said a
waiter in a downtown restaurant re-
Gently Nearly every patron Of this
place eats pie at least once a day and
many Of them two or three times a
day. There's a man over there now
eating his breakfast. He ordered soft
boiled eggs and coffee and then want
ed a piece of mince pie. We hadn't any
mince, so he's eating piece of pump
kin pie. The 1unchers,' the people
who come in between II O'Clock and 2
o'clock, almost invariably eat pie.
They may eat a sandwich, too, and
drink a cup of coffee, but pie is their
standby. And people will grumble
more over not getting the sort Of pie
they order than they will over the alb
sence of any other dish on the bill Of
fare. Americans still like pie, or at
least Kansas Cityans do."-Kansas

An Anecdote of Ellsworth.

There was a characteristic incident i'll
the early life of Colonel Ellsworth, the
brilliant young lawyer who was one of
the first notable victims of the civil
war. His struggles to gain a foothold
in his profession were attended by
many hardships and humiliating priva-
tons. Once, finding the man he was
looking for OH a matter of business in
a restaurant, he was invited to partalle
of the luncheon to which his acquaint-
ance was just sitting down. Ellsworth
was rayenously hungry, almost starv-
ing, in fact, but he declined courteously,
but firmly, asking permission to talk
over the business that had brought him
thither while the other went on with
the meal
The brave young fellow in telling the
story in after years confessed that he
suffered positive agony at the sight and
smell of the tempting food.
Il could not in honor accept hospi-
talty | could not reciprocate," was his
simple explanation of his refusal. Il
