From this hired ha nd" of the din

'dirty.spoon" resta urants is no such
stretch of the imagination as 1t might
be deemed at first thought.

said a customer, proffering his platter
for proof.
"Oh. that's all right; 1t won't hurt
you!" responded the genial counter
man, ficking the offending inverte.
brate animal of the group Vermes into
oblivion.
And he was perfectly serious about
it. He had no idea of ofense. He
simply believed, himself, that If the
cause of offense was visibly removed
the offenSe itself would cease.
The surly waiter Is legion.
He generally waits upon one AS
though it hurts him as some say.
Always he finds it necessary to be as
disagreeable as possible. He has
never read psychology, Of course; so
great deal perhaps ought to be
forgiven him.
He must be forgiven presenting

has asked for dark or filled to the
brim when another has requested

He must be forgiven taking as long
as possible to see that one il at the
counter. He must even be forgiven
opening windows on the backs of
guests. out of which action he gets

AS matter of fact, he must be for
given so much that customers often
wonder why the proprietor does not
check up on him. a bit, and then po-
litely bow him out for good and all,
for he Is q customer loser If you pro-
prietOrs get what we mean.
odd Man Bonner" as he was af-
fectionately called by the patrons, was
just the antithesis of all these.
A man wise In the ways of the
world as his white hair might indi-
cate, he waited upon customers as
men should be treated who had So
lected his eating place above others.
He had a smile ready for every one,
and was as courteoIs to the man who
did not tip him az to those who
did. He played no favorites. Bust
ness was more than business to him.
1t was an opportunity to meet his fell
low men on terms Of equality, since
all men alike must eat. Surely, one
such waiter will make up for a thou
sand of the other sort.

The Corning Leader believes that

Kansas Cigarette Liberality
Is Traced to War Veterans

The repeal by Kansas of it's long
f1outed anti-cigarette law Is accepted
by the press as a reaction stimulated
by the feeling OF World War veterans.
1t In recalled that service men were
supplied with smokes" bought with
funds provided by the people of all
States, including Kansas.
The Legislature has wiped out a
reform measure which did not reform,
which occasioned loss of revenue to
the State, and which made Kansas an
object OF ridicule all over the Nation"
declares the Kansas City Post. which
says of the new law: The high IL
cense fee which cigarette dealers must
pay and the special tax on each pack
age of cigarettes and cigarette papers
are excessive, and will serve only to
make it impossible for the small dealer
to sell cigarettes legitimately. More
over, the prohibition of cigarette ad-
vertlsing is based upon shaky prem.
Use and will result only in depriving
Kansas newspapers of revenue. II
adult citizens are permitted to smoke
cigarettes, and IL publications mailed
in from other States carry cigarette
advertisements. the alleged harm
which might come TO minors through
advertising in local newspapers would
be negligible"
Statements from Gov. Paulen, who
signed the bill, that the license fees
are unfair and unrea sonable, that the
prohibition of advertising is objection
able, and that penalties for viola ting
the restrictive provisions are too dras-
tice." are cited by the Pittsburgh Ga
