IT WAS A TOUGH STEAK.
But the Restaurant Man Easily Fixed
II When the Kick Came.


II When the Kick Came.
II happened I'm a downtown restau.
rant. A well dressed-as he always
must be to make a good story-young
man ordered a steak. The waitress,
rather pretty-which qualification she
must possess In writing a story OF this
kind--llled the order. and the young
man started In 10 devour the feast
which had been set before him.
The young man had no sooner start.

that be had a kick coming, and as the
restaurant proprietor passed he stop
ped him by saying; II can't eat this
steak; entirely too tough. wish you
would see that get better meats when
come In here"
TOO badl That steak looks all right.
But let me get you another" And the
aforesaid proprietor took the steak. the
silverware which had been served with
It and departed. He soon returned
with a steak which looked exactly like
the FIRST one. The young man picked
up his knife and started at his second
order Elmer he said as his knife
cut It apart without the least effort
The customer was pleased beyond
words. and that he enjoyed the steak
was evident. for he left only the plate
AS the reporter passed out he met
the proprietor again. and this is what
was said;
''rhat steak was all right but tho
girl made a mistake in not giving him
a sharper knife. All ! did was to put
the same steak on another plate and
bring him sharp knife. You have no
idea what a difference sharp knife
