WRECKED THE RESTAURANT
lrate Patron Was Sorry After Il Was
Over and offered to Replace All
the Demolished crockery.

The Little Daisy restaurant in
Harlem was wrecked and the man
who did the job is sorry and prom
ises to be a patron for life of the
place of eats, says a New York news
letter. The wrecker was going in
for the great American record for
the standing or sitting soup dive.
He had almost finished his exhibi-
tion Of barbaric sports when he
found a gold tooth in the soup. When
the mans testimony was doubted he
proceeded to throw the equipment of
the restaurant, propelled by the pro-
prietor, into the street.
OF course that kind of exercise
called for the guests arrest, and Just
as he was being carted off he put his
tongue in his cheek and turned
white. "Goshp said the prisoner,
"that was my own gold tooth l lost"
The proprietor of the restaurant
looked at the patron right between
the eyes, and the patron in return
looked as bashful asall get out. He
explained that he was sorry as any
diner need ever become, and that he
gladly would replace all of the late
crockery and apologize to any group
of persons suggested by the owner
of the Little Daisy. Furthermore,
he would eat at the Little Daisy res
taurant for the rest of his natural
life. The proprietor, after contem-
plating his guest for some time and
intently, withdrew all
charges. A dentist closed the incl
dent. =

Useless Wishes.

II wish had not done 1t. I wish ]
had not said It." How often we hear
and say these words. But Of what use
are they? Nothing was ever dragged
back from the past by a wish that
came afterward. 1t is the wish that
comes before, and prompts us to be
cautious. because we desire to do and
say what Is best, that is worth any
thing. Preventing is better than re
penting, because preventing spares the
repenting that is unable to recall the
deed done, and the word spoken.

Peace is impossible, according to a
statement made by the imperial Ger
man chancellor, so long as Germany's
opponents demand German soilor try
to separate the people from their en-
peror. The German foreign secreta-
ry in an address to the reichstag as
serted that there was no impediment
to peace that could not be overcome
by negotiations except the demand of
France for the return of AlSace-Lor-
raine. Peace will come in due time
and Germany will accept any terms
she can get.

Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of
national service, in a speech delivered
at Nottingham, predicted that grim
work OF bombing German towns and
villages would be in full swing be
fore many moons have elapsed. He
said he wished il had been possible to
avoid inflicting that punishment on
women and innocent children in Ger
nany, but that the brutal spirit ruling
in Germany made it inevitable. This
decision had been reached, the speak
er added, reluctantly and not in any
spirit OF vengeance, but in pursuance
of the inexorable law which life lays
on every man: ''Thou shalt protect
thy women and children or perish. {"
