CONSIDERATE.

He Spared Hla Guest the “Unpleasant kittle Detail.” Two friends, one a prosperous looking business man and the other at least well dressed, chanced to meet, not long ago, and the second gentleman remembered that it was his turm to “buy the dinner,” so they wore soon repairing to a fashionable restaurant. Their orders were generous* and they lingered long over the good: things, not forgetting cigars at the end. When they felt that they really had to leave or else pay rent, the host showed .a bit of fidgetiness and requested that the other go outside andi wait for him; that there was an “un pleasant little detail” he wished ter discuss with the proprietor and could not think of embarrassing his friend by having him overhear it. The friend did as requested, stepping outside and waiting at the nearest corner. He. had been waiting only about, five minutes when of a sudden theu door of the restaurant flew open, and! his erstwhile host shot through it as; from a catapult,, followed by somemost uncomplimentary terms. “What’s wrong?” was the first inquiry of the waiting friend. "Oh, nothing much,” wa3 the answer, “except that the ‘unpleasant little detail’. I had to discuss with the proprietor was that I had no money to pay for the dinners.” —Pittsburg; Gazette-Times.
