Show An Eog'lsliman on the Bowery. A cockney went into a cheap restaurant restau-rant on the Bowery, one of those places that have been aptly called beaneries. He sat down and adjusted his monocle and beckoned to a waiter, who came forward. for-ward. He was in his shirt sleeves and a dirty towel was slung across his arm. He scowled at the stranger. "Well!!" "Aw, waitah, dontcherno, I want a brace of chops, an' a poached egg, an some buttered toast, an' a mug of 'alf an' 'alf, an', aw, waitah, I want a napkin, also." The man with the dirty towel over his arm moved back a step or two, put bis band to his mouth, and yelled to ths cook in the kitchen: "Soy, Chimmie, tell der band to play 'God Save der Queen;' der Prince of Wales is come."
