8HAIL 10 THE JUST JUDGE.

HAlLTo THE JUST JUDGE.
A New York judge has decided that
= man is not required TO pay for q
scup, Of cofree in which he has found
. Az.
a just Judge. a Daniel come to
Judgment.
No longer will it be possible. when.
"a man gives voice to q complaint,
for the r~estauranter to skillfully ex-
tract the floating insect with a fork,
and dick 1t against the ceiling, calling
down anathemas onthe -carelessness Of
the waiter while offering apologies to
his patron.
1t is now possible, in the light Of the
recent decision, for the guest to say
him nay. And what is more to the
point, he may say 1t real loudly, for
a precedent has been established,
which no just judge may turn his back
upon.
Coffee is called for, and, according
to the character of the place, n is
served either with a fragrant cup,
steaming from the dripper, Or some
stuff that tastes like sheep dip.
Whichever it is, the patron has Sc
lected his place, and takes what he
gets-unless perchance, he should dis
cover a %pestiferous fly swimming about
on the surface with all the airs Of q
big red apple.
Will he scoop out the insect with a
spoon, curse the place and drink the
beverage, or, leaving 1t untouched, pay
his bill and depart, as Of yore?
Really, it is up to the patron. II he
be OF common clay, and in a hurry, he
will scarcely put on any frills. IfShe be
an average man, perchance, he will
call the manager, and point at the in
sect that has converted his coffee cup
into a natatorium. M NJ X
Then it is up to the proprietor. He
may bring on another cup Of coffee
he may fish out the fly. # he adopts
the last named course, then it is that
the patron may rise to adignified posi-
ion-yea, to an exalted state, and de-
cline, haughtily, to pay the bill.
Suppose the proprietor desires to
make a scene?s y
Aye, suppose he does? There is the
precedent established by the New
York Judge.
While it is perfectly true that New
York does not give is our law or set up
our standards, once in a while some
one down there does do something
really worth while, and at the present
time this Judge seems to be the Solo
mon OF the restaurant patronizing
class. s @2% *
The guest may be hauled in court
for the price of the coffee, ana the
man, standing on his rights may re
cite the fact that a New York judge
has decided that when a man rider
coffee he is entitled only to that
which he requests, for is 1t not q fact
that the coffee is brought to him black
that cream and sugar comes in zsepa
rate receptacles, to be added only u
he wishes? Truly the customer, moi
the proprietor, is the only one emit
tied to add TO the contents Of thai
cup. {
In other words, if a man is not sat
listed with the new order of things
in the future he will have to catch
his own flies.
