Raising Their Check.

“How is this for side?” said the photographer. “The other day I went into a crowded restaurant to take a noonday picture. While I was focusing the camera the leader of a party of men who had been sitting at A table that would show up plainest in the photograph asked the proprietor to make out a ten-dollar check in big figures. He did ep. Their own check of $4.65 for the buneh was hidden under a plate and the $lO check was laid down, printed side up, for photographic purposes only. “If the proprietor had not assured me to the contrary I should have set that down as the most flagrant instance of snobbery on record. He declared that every time the interior of a restaurant is photographed some patron whose ambitipn is bigger than his pocketbook asks for a check big enough to cover his eating expenses for a week.
