COST OF A COCKTAIL.
The Drink a Young Business Man Hae
 to Have Before Lunch.


 In New York city, there is a man who once paid $6,OOO for cocktail. He did not know it then, and he never will know it unless he happens to read this story.
 A certain prosperous manufacturing company needed new departmental manager. The salary was SG,0O0 year The officers of the company considered great many candidates and at last decided to offer the position to clever young man of unusual busi- ness ability. He seemed to be exactly the man for that particular place. The president and general manager invited the young man to lunch with them at a downtown club. ostensbly to talk over less important business matter. They wanted to "look him over" just once more.
 The man met them at the appointed hour, and the president. anxious to make the occasion a pleasant one, or dered an elaborate luncheon. The waiter was long time in bringing the first course. and the guest began to appear III at ease. He seemed alb sentminded and nnintercstcd in the conversation. He twisted about in his chair and tapped his fingers nervonsly upon the table. Finally he turned to- ward the president and said almost desperately. "Would you mind very much if ordered cocktailY' Then he flushed little and offered a laugh. ing apology for making the request.
 The other men exchanged surprised and significant gIances. but they called the waiter and ordered the cocktail. When 1t came the guest drank it ca gerly. Tn few moments he had be- come another man--the man of keen vision and quick mind, who could be so nsefu, in thoir great business. There was no moro preoccupation in his man. ner. no shifting ahout in his chair. He was alert. eager. clear headed.
 Rut as the luncheon went on neithei the president nor the manager men, toned the req, obiert of the interview Each was thinking the matter over sc riOusly, and neither could be sure of the others secretly formed opinion. The situation became awkward Final- ly, the president excused himself on the pretcnse of going into the library to speak to friend who had just en- tered But after speaking to his friend he went straight to the desk and wrote | message on telegraph blank. He gave the message to a uniformed at tendant and went back to the dining room
 Ip few minutes page brought a telegram to the manager who read it hurriedly. while the president finished telling their guest about a shooting trip in Maine. This is what the tele- gram said:
 The job is too big for a boozer We can't run our business by cocktail power Youths Companion,
