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 Genkf
Good Humor He Tried to Shed
Around Him Had Turned to Gloom
Jlr 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 hut
now and then his wit falls upon uuap
preciative ears On a recent visit to
New York Mr Snicker arrived rather
early1 in tho morning and the pangs of
hunger would brook so little delay
that he went immediately upon his
Arrival to a prominent hotel in the
vicinity of the station for his break
fast
Good morning nenri ho chortled
In his usual salubrious rannncr to the
waiter as the latter hung his hat on a
hook over his table Has the butcher
come yet
Ze what sir asked the waiter
with a puzzled look on his face for he
was not used to Snickers
The butcher said Snicker with a
merry wink In his left eye You know
the chap who brings the food I
thought perhaps
Wait one moment sir said the
waiter his perplexity growing deofer
I will bring ze head waiter sir
Oh never mind Snicker began
but the waiter had departed to return
In about three minutes with the head
waiter
What hi it sir asked the latter
with a groat show of civil interest
Oh nothing returned Snicker
rather sheepishly I just asked Henri
here if the butcher had arrived yet
fearing that possibly
The butcher sir repeated the
head waiter like his subordinate very
much mystified
Yes said Snicker with a faint
smile which he hoped the head waiter
would find contagious I was onljr
jok
Wait till I find ze superintendent
said the head waiter courteously I
have no doubt we can accommodate
monsieur if we can only find out what
it is that he wants I will send for
him
Snicker again started In to explain
the mere facetious bearing of his in
quiry but the head waiter too had
sped away in search of a superior offi
cer who might be expected to be equal
to this new and unexpected emer
gency
Several omnibus boys and Snickers
waiter as well were dispatched to the
kitchen and elsewhere 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 waiter
returned and courteously explained
that the superintendent had not yet
arrived at his post of duty but that he
had telephoned up to tho office for the
manager of the hotel who he assured
him would be down in a very few mo
ments
lie is rather busy at this time of
the morning sir he vouchsafed but
he said he would be down right
away
Well Im sorry said Snicker rue
fully Youd better head him oil if
you can You see when I asked if the
butcher had come j et it was only
meant as a joke
An Here is tne manager inter
rupted the head waiter as a tall ini
prossive gentleman with a majestic
front loomed up in the dining room
door and made his way across to
Snickers table This is the gentle
man Mr Tingleton the head waiter
added when the manager had reached
Snickers 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
lor you sir
I I want a hard boiled ocq and
some Lyonnaise potatoes said Snick

Cats Disguised cs Snakes
Do yon know why a cat hisses
when in rage or danger said a na
ture student Well sir she hisses as
flying criminal puts on blue gocgles
and a false beard
Ties instinctively
With that hiss she

Did you ever notice the markings
on a cats tail They are transverse
iikc a snakes markings The primi
tive cat in the vdld state lived in rath
er tall gras When danger approach
i d he hissed and at the same time put
