JIMMY GOT HIS HELPING

Watched Beautiful Appetite of Darling of Hie Heart and Suffered In Silence. They were speaking of the trials and tribulations of the man In love the other evening, when an appropriate story was recalled by Senator W. R. Oglesby of New York. Some time since Jimmy took the darling of his heart to a restaurant, where It cost many plunks to chew, and although the dear girl had said she wasn’t a bit hungry, she hastily remarked chicken and all the attendant glories when the menu card was placed before her. And all that Jimmy could do was to watch her beautiful appetite, and suffer in silence. “Why, Jimmie,” suddenly exclaimed the dear one, “you are not eating a bit of this lovely chicken. It is simply great' Won’t you have some?” “No, darling," answered Jimmy, with the best he could produce In tne way of a smile. ’“I have had all I want” "All that you want Jimmy?" returned the other, surprised. “Why, you haven’t had any." “Yes, I have, dear," said Jimmy, with a sigh that came all the way from his pocketbook. “The waiter Just handed me the bill.” —Philadelphia Telegraph.
