Collected. Sis Wages.
One of the best; known attorneys
of this city had a colored valet
and masseur, who, after working
faithfully for several months, put
in a deferential plea for some por
tion of the wages due him, says
the San Francisco Post;
“Make out your bill, ” said the
attorney.
The bill was made out and pre
sented, and the attorney rendered
a counter claim for legal services
that left the valet in debt to his
employer. After a gasp or two of
surprise the man quietly bundled
up his effects and sought other
employment. ~ Another colored
man took his place, and was ad
vised by his predecessor of the
difficulty of collecting his wages.
One night, after the new valet had
worked, a couple of months with
out receiving a cent, the attorney
returned from the banquet in such
a condition that the gentleman of
color had to put him to bed. . He
heard the jingle of gold in his
employer’s pocket, and, on inves
tigation, found $60, the amount ]
due him. The next morning the
attorney found a receipt for the
money in his pocket, but his valet
had disappeared.

The quick-service restaurant is not
responsible for all the anguish' of mod
ern existence. I can conscientiously
extol the old style of New England
cookery, but the modern New England
cookery is the great toboggan which
brings up in Paradise—or some other
seaport town. It is a delusion and a
snare. The great trouble is that the
modern family oook is afraid of fire,
and-that “snowy” product of her skill,
which she boasts so much about, is an
emblem of. mourning. The fintings
around the edges of her pies are sug
gestive of the corresponding decoration
around the edge of a casket. The av

ence between good food and poor food.
People are not good livers, and conse

of gear.
Mach of the food consumed by fami

and just as sure as fate the American
people- of to-day are engraving their
own epitaphs with the table knife, and
beating the last tattoo on the frying

In these days, when space is a matter

where nice dress skirts may be spread
