Encouraging a Good Man.

“Come in here and have lunch with me,” said one business man to another as they were walking In a downtown street yesterday, shortly after 1 the noon hour. “What? You don’t' eat In there, do you?” “Yes, this is my favorite restaurant.” “Well, by George, I’m surprised. I thought you were a man who would be more difficult to satisfy than that. I took one meal there, and then declared that I would newer go Into the place again. The service was wretched; the things they gave me to eat were miserably prepared, and taking It all together, it was about the worst thing I ever had In the lunch line.” “I grant that all you have said may be true, yet there Is a vast good reason why the place ought to have our patronage.” “What is It?” “Do you see the sign In front? It says, ‘Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Restaurant.’ Look at the other signs. They all read, ‘Ladies’ and Gents’. The man who runs this place ought to be encouraged, even if hiß grub is bad. Come on.” *
