A New Game Bird.

The from Montana was eating lobster Newburg the other night in a Broadway restaurant. “Lobsters are common enough to you people here on the seacoast,” he remarked to a New Yorker, “but when one gets well inland the fresh water lobster becomes a bit more of a novelty. Not that we don’t get plenty of lobsters in Montana, but, naturally, there they’re not as numerous as down here, and they are regarded as more of a luxury, .“This fact was brought to my attention one night recently in a hotel in Butte. I got in on a rather late train and went into a restaurant about 9 o’clock in the evening for dinner. T happened to feel like eating a grouse or a duck or something of that sort. I glanced at the menu and failed to see any birds. “Haven’t you got any grouse or other game?” I asked the waiter. “ ‘We ain't got any grouse,’ was the reply. ‘The only game we have is lobster.’ ’’—New Tork Times.
