Merely an Amateur.

A man who lives much at hotels had some odd experiences during the strikes of- the waiters in New York find Boston. On the morning after the strike was called In New Yoi*k he ordered boiled eggs in a New York hotel. The managers had hired all applicants for jobs at waiting, and the one who took this boiled egg orjjgf was a toughpersoh.' He brought the eggs, came over and leaned on the back of the patron’s chair and said: “Say, cul, kin I shuck them eggs fer yez?” In Boston the waiter at breakfast was a big, burly person who seemed unfamiliar with the work. The man at breakfast ventured a mild protest. “Aw, ferglt it!” said the waiter. I ain’t no waiter. I came up here to be a strike-breaker in the truckmen's strike."—Saturday Evening Post.
