CAKE NOT UP TO HIS EXPECTATIONS.

Having heard that the open season was at hand for strawberry shortcake, a Columbus young man went to a restaurant and ordered a portion. He had visions of the kind his mother used io make—two layers of genuine cake, with strawberries In between and so many on top that the cake was hidden. He remembered how the biggest, sweetest and best berries were saved for the cake that mother made. And over It would go some sort of mixture of sugar, strawberry Juli-e and butter. Then you could have real cream if you wished. While he was dreaming of the past, a waiter brought his shortcake. It was •o little he looked twice to find It. A few little runty berries were on top and the whole proposition seemed to have died the day before. "Here, waiter," the irate young man exclaimed, "take this cake out and j>eryy it,”—Jndlanapolls News,
