Mattresses in restaurants, cafes, CLUB
houses, etc, are as a rule seldom no
ticed by diners winers or other ire
uuenters of such places, yet every act,
scrap of conversation or out OF the
way act is noted by the waitress, and
recorded on her mental tablets for fut-
ure use. When the walters get togeth-
er by themselves they have a jolly
time talking and laughing about what
they have seen and heard group
OF young women walters in a popular
lunch room down town were heard the
other day, picking TO pieces some OF
the men who frequent the place. APP
parently every man customer had some
flaw or other. Either he talked TOO
much or too little was not nice in his
dress or too particular, was too greedy
or stingy about giving tips. 1t might
lower the pride of some of the mash
ers" to hear what the girls said about
them.

How many horses would give up
their warm beds of straw to him If he
were cold? How many dogs would
share with him their last bone If he
were hungry?
When he was only a boy he was sit
ting one evening on the piazza OF the
hotel of Townshend, Vermont, when
couple of drunken men drove up with
a horse which they had hired. The con-
dition Of the poor beast was too ter
rfble to describe 1t trembled with
fear Its eyes were wild with horror.
As Mr.. Angel, in describing his eXper-
ience said: 1T was only by working
all night on the horse that its life was
saved. and | thanked God for the influ-
ence which led me to engage in what
has since been my principal life work"
