NYE'S COSILY DINNER.
While Nye Was lint a mnnntnln trinn
to such an extent, thoro were frequent
occaslona when he got Into the sniuo
J1U1J.UI1 wun sam" Davis, nntl when
they associated there were hot times
in me oiu towns.
Alter Nye had become famous and
had taken to lecturing, he had an odd
adventure with Havls, whom often lie
fure he had met Joyously and parted
from sadly, it was such an affair,
narrates the Chicago Record. ih
humorist used to delight to put into
prim, ann it Beems Imposslhle that he
has not told the story, if ho has, the
man who has read It heretofore can
skip it in this column.
Davis was working on a San Fran
cisco paper, and Nye meeting him, ask
ed If it were true that one could get
a royal banquet In the Golden Gate
town for the ridiculous prices mention
ed by nieu who had been there. Da
vis said the stories wore overdrawn,
but still one could manage to exist on
what was set before him, even If he
did not have a kegful of money in his'
possession.
"I'll tell you what," he said, "you
ome along with me to dinner this
cverlng, and I'll take you to a rotis
seiie one of those French restaurants,
you know, where you can get some
thing for twenty-live cents. Of If you
prefer a fifteen-cent meal "
"I guess not!" cried Nye. who was
upending fifteen dollars a day for be
ing allowed to breathe in the l'alaee
Hoifci. "A quarter meal's cheap
enough."
After they parted Davis hurried to
one cf the finest eating-houses in all
the Coast country, and had a brief but
convincing conversation with the pro
prieto". He also called In to his aid
a man with whom he knpw Nye had
h cne pleasant correspondence, and
wLoni the lecturing knight desired to
rnfct. in the evening the three gour
met h approached the lair of good eat
ing. The menu card was presented,
li .vas tbout ae long as the Canadian
FiJ.iiic's t Una-table, and made men
tion of wonderful things gaatronoini
Ciil. But Davis and tho ,.ht,.
- ...v. v.. i, . L
r ncto-oan behaved v.-1th llltc-uper
v en they saw It. There was no va-
iivvy. it was no better than tho ton
cent meals provided
and here they were prepared to pay
"" ne.ia. finally these two im
ppMentl;' directed the waiters to br.ns
e. ..ythir.g that was ou the bill, and
they would select something Jit to eat
fin oi iue lot. Mr. Nye had very lit
tle hni. but what he had rose lu a
spiky way.
"Do you mean to say," he gasped,
that tne price of such a meal as you
are ordering is a quarter?"
"We!'," said Davis, In confusion, "of
course fifteen cents would bo about the
right price, but something seems to bo
wrong with the chef to-day. Try to
ru..ke out a little, and we will go some
where e'se to-morrow, i am really
filled with shame at bringing you here
to such a poor, dismal excuse for a
dinner, but I hadn't been In here tor
a. month, and didn't know it had run
do7.-n so."
The two coastwise men objected to
everything. The wino was not more
than twenty years old, whereas they
were paying money enough to get good
stuff. The lobsters were wrong in
some way, the salad3 were faulty tliey
insisted; the bird, the fish, the sirloin
everything clear through to the fruit
and Ice cream and pastry and coffee
and cognac waa criticized. It might
be considered passable at a twenty
rent place, but at a shop whore the
price was twenty-five cents it was In
excusable. Tho worst of It was that
they had a guest with them, and he
would carry away a poor opinion of
san trancisco hospitality. They again
called the proprietor over, and forced
bim to apologize to the visitor for the
wretched food he had served Then
Davis paid the checks, which were for
:wenty-flve cents apiece, and Nye near
ly fainted when the cashier humbly
thanked him.
The next day Nye slipped away from
all friendly hands and secretly went
dround to that restaurant. He want
Ed to have Just one moretif those stu
jondous twenty-nve-cent dinners, so
lio ordered about one-third what he
nail taken on the previous day.
1 here's no use wasting food Just be
cause It Is provided so generously and
at such a price," he reasoned. And
lie called for his check.
Somewhat to his surprise, the check
as for twenty-two dollars and sev
3nty cents.
The Davis dinner nnd been a nice
oleasant little prearranged swindle put
ap by "Sam" and his friend and the
estaiirautsur.
It was the same "Sam" Davis who
previous to this, had been for one day
JUlef Ju.v.lce of the Supreme Court of
'he State of North Carolina, though
he hnd never been In North Carolina.
Going Kant one winter, the niaii
from the Coast stopped oft at Daramie
to renew his troubles with Nye, who
v as then Justice of the Peace. The
Uc.vt wr.s busy with a legal hearing
and -when Davis appeared In the door- ,
way Nye Immediately called him for
ward. "Gentlemen of the bar." he said, ad
dressing the two attorneys, "it airords
me pleasure to introduce Chief Justice
Wltherspoon of the North Carolina Su
preme Court. Judge, your arrival Is
most opportune, and I want you to
Bit here with me and advise me on thia
case. Join fne on the beueb." Thon
ia a whisper, "Hack me up, you out
Jaw, or I'll commit you for ten days
as a vagrant."
Never was a case argued with more
rigor. This waB the first time these
Wyoming lawyers had ever confronted
a real Chief Justice, and they made
the most of It. At intervals of about
thirty minutes the eminent forensic
light from the South would request
Mint the court be cleared eo that ha
migh confer with his distiiiKuiphnd
:uiieag!io, .iuuro Nye, upon some ab
struse point. Then, while the lawyers
and others went down stairs by the
lroiu naiiway, these two false pre
tenders would retire by the back sunr
way to the market of wet merchandise.
When the last attorney had finished
his oration another conference was
held, after which Nye calnilv looked
down upon the litigants, and said:
"A serious d.mbt has nrlnon. This Is
nn assault cane such ns I have fre
tiuently dealt with for months past.
1 have fined somo defendants and re
Itvued pome. Hut I find I am In tne
wrong. Judge Wltheispoon fells mo
that by the common law of England
the riefrdant Is subject to capital pun
ishment, banishment, fine, imprison
ment, or liberty. Hut he very
properly says that there Is
doubt as to whether or not
under Territorial government wo
r.re working In the purview of this law.
Maybe we are; maybe not. He prom
ire to look it up on hU return hoaio.
in the meantime, If I have erred In pre
vious decisions, the county is liable to
heavy damage as indemnity. I may
have let some men go whom I ought
to have hanged. I hope, therefore,
that as taxpayers, upon whom such
money loss would rail, you will agrco
with me that It is be.-it tn Rii V tin! Mnr
nliout it until we hear lrc;:i Judgo
Witherspoon. I think, and the Judge
concurs with me, that we would best
dismiss the present nrtinn nith,H,i

The Philadelphia Press.
The Pkess is the greatest home newspaper
of the United States. Its record of each day's
events, in all parts of the world, is more com
plete than that of any other paper. It has no
space for sensationalism, or anything tending
to lower the moral tone.

The Press is an advocate of the principles
of the Republican party, but it prints the news
