A few days ago when the Spokane [
v.as in port and the excursion train
ran to Bennett, the lunch room there
] was crowded, and to expedite matters I
| V. |. Hahn, who has no false pride. J
j went behind the counter and started
passing out pie and doughnuts like a
professional "hash slinger."
"Give me a piece of pie, young
man," called out a sharp faced dame,
as Mr. Hahn paused before her. Mr.
llahn complied.
"How much is it?" she queried,
fingering her purse and gaziug sharp
ly at the erstwhile waiter.
"Fifteen cents, inadame." replied
Mr. Hahn.
"Mercy sakes alive!" she exclaim
< d in a high pitched key. "Girls.
S'rls," she shouted turning to some
! rather ancient companions, "this man
i wants 'o charge me fifteen cents for ,
I ji.st one piece of pie."
| "How much is the whole pie?" ask
ed another.
"Thirty-five cents." replied Mr.
1 uhn, blushing and wishing himself I
well out of it.
This announcement caused more
1 sarcastic comment.
Becoming somewhat nettled, -Mr.
Ilahn, forgetting the usual sang froid
that distinguishes the professional
waiter, remarked with some asperity
that they could have the whole pic
for fifteen cents.
The female tourists called his bluff
in a second and the pie was produced.
The elderly dame who first spoke
produced two thin dimes, which look
ed as if they had been pinched hard,
and handed them to Mr. Hahn.
"I have no change," said he, "but
I'll give it to you in a minute."
Luncheon was over and having se
cured the necessary nickel, Mr. Hahn
went out onto the platform. The tour
ists were waiting and watching.
He approached the woman anil with
a low bow proffered her the nickel.
She accepted it and after examining
it tucked it in her purse.
"There! You're an honest young
man. Thank you." And the other
tourists nodded approval, beaming up
on him.
L'ENVOI.
It will be a busy day, yes, .'ndotd,
a very busy day when V. I. Hahn a
gain assumes the role of i. wiiiter.
He has had enough.
