Show Modksty. F.ist Temple street boasts one saloon, at least, where shrewd sharpers manage to get their money s worth. Imagine the horror pictured upon a Hkrald reporter's "pb.ii," yesterday as ho modestly crunched his four bits of fodder upon hearing a pompous customer order poi-ter-houso steak, tried eggs, liver, mutton mut-ton chops, and fresh salmon with a German Ger-man pic; and then, too, iiuarrcl with the waiter because tho cook had only used two eggs in compounding the pie ! That was one of the most modest mod-est four bit meals of tho day, so the waiter told the reporter. No wonder the attaches of that establishment arc o hich-'ilcd that they improvise prize lights in tho back yard and step about upon their ears ! And now that the bar pays its regular license, if that dininc room isn't re lor ox d gaunt ruin wid ;t;.rc its proprietor in the countenance. |
