Perseverance Rewarded.

A prominent writer, who likes a drop of two with his meals, goes occasionally to a case on Broadway for luncheon. He makes a» point of sitting at the same table whenever possible, so that he has become fairly well acquainted with the waiter in charge of that table. This particular case is one of the few in New York where the waiters are colored men. The other day he slipped into his favorite place and reached for the menu. In an instant the waiter, whose name is Gabe, was hovering over him. “I s’pose you wants a little Scotch and worter to start off wld?” said Gabe, remembering mighty well his patron’s habit. “No, Gabe," said the patron; “no Scotch today. I’ve finally found the kind of liquor that suits me.” “Well, suh,” said Gabe in tones of honest admiration, “you suttingly kep’ on twell you found it, didn’t you?”— Saturday Evening Post.
