TRIED TO BE JOCOSL.
Snicker Was In a Jovial Mood
and Hungry as Well.
BUT HE SPOILED HIS MEAL.
By the Time He Managed to Order
His Breakfast the Glow of Genial
Good Humor He Tried to Shed
Around Him Had Turned to Gloom.
Mr. Snicker Is well known In his
home town as the most facetious man
in seventeen counties. His method of
expressing what ideas he has is en-
tirely along lines of pure jocosity, but
now and then his wit falls upon unap-
preclative ears. On a recent visit to
New York Mr. Snicker arrived rather
early in the morning, and the pangs of
hunger would brook so little
that he went immediately upon his
arrival to a prominent hotel in the
vicinity of the station for his break-
fast.
“Good morning, Henrl,” he chortled
in his usual salubrious manner to the
waiter as the latter hung bis hat on a
hook over his table. “Has the butcher
come yet?’
“Ze what, sir?’ asked the walter,
with a puzzled look on his face, for be
was not used to Snickers,
“The butcher,” sald Sulcker, with a
merry wink in his left eye. “You know
—the chap who brings the food. I
thought perhaps’ —
“Wait one moment, sir,” sald the
walter, his perplexity growing deeper.
“1 will bring ze head walter, sir.”
“Oh, never mind,” Snicker began,
but the waiter had departed to return
fn about three minutes with the head
walter.
“What is it, sir?’ asked the latter,
with a great show of civil interest,
“Ob, nothing” returned Sapicker
rather sheepishly. “I just asked Henrl
here if the butcher had arrived yet,
fearing that possibly” —
“The butcher, sir? repeated the
head walter, like his subordinate, very
much mystified.
“Yes,” sald Snicker, with a faint
smile, which he hoped the head walter
would find contagious. “I was only
jok'" —
“Wait till 1 find ze superintendent,”
gald the head walter courteously. “I
have no doubt we can accommodate
nonsieur if we can only find out what
j¢« that he wants. I will send for
him. ™

Several omnibus bors and Snickers
were dispatched to the
kitchen and elsdwhere to find him, but
apparently without success. Five, ten,
fifteen minutes elapsed, and Snicker
began to feel that it did not really pay
to be as funny as he could under all
circumstances
Finally, however, the head walter
returned and courteously explained
that the superintendent had pot ye.

had telephoned up to the office for the
manager of the hotel, who, he assured
him, wodld be down in a very few mo-
ments,
“Ie {8 rather busy at this time of
the morning, sir,” he vouchsafed, “but
he sald he would be down right
away.”
“Well, I'm sorry,” sald Sanicker rue
fully. “You'd better bead him off if
you can. You see, when I asked If the
butcher had come yet, it was only
meant as a joke"
“Ah, here is the manager,” inter
rupted the head walter as a tall, im-
pressive gentleman with & majestic
front loomed up in the dining room
door and made his way across to
Snicker's table. “This 1s the gentle
man, Mr. Pingleton,” the head walter
added when the manager had reached
Snicker's side.
“Good morning, sir,” said the man-
ager breezily. “I hope there is no
trouble, sir. I am sorry to have kept
you waiting, but this is the busy end
of the day with me getting things
started along, and our dining room su-
perintendent, I regret to say, is off
duty this morning. What can we do
for you, sir?”

Punishment in effigy was legally
practiced in France and with great
solemnity up to the time of the first
revolution, If the man condemned es-
caped, a dummy was put up in his
cell and the entire routine of the law
allowed to take its course. The ‘war.
rant was read to it, and on the day
appointed it was conducted to the
scaffold in the presence of all the le
gal functionaries and with all the cir-
cumstance of the law. Sometimes
the same person was executed in effigy
simultaneously in several cities, bul
that did not exempt him from actual
punishment should he be afterward
caught.
