I was dining in a somewhat famous chop-house in Manhattan when 1 saw the head waiter beckon to a smartly dressed young man and call out, “Oh, Mr. Ross! Thig way, please!” The young man ad- vanced in a bored sort of manner. The head waiter led him to a small table, at one side of which sat an elderly gentleman of refined appearance who appeared to be about midway in his dinner, “I bes your p:rdon,” the head waiter said to this gentleman in his very best manner, “I wonder if you would mind if this young gentleman wer: placed at your table?” The elderly one took them both in at a slance and said, “Certainly not.” Nothing more was said for several minutes when I heard the older man inquire: “I heard the head walter call you ‘Mr. Ross’ J wonder if by any chance you are one of the Rosses of Virginia”” “Why, yes,” replied the younger man. “Well! Well! WELL!” ejaculated the other, “I knew Colonel Joe Ross of ( ulpeper as wel. as if we Were brothers. There wasn't a better horseman or a finer gentleman” Tae talk about the Rosses and Culpepe Courthouse continued for several minutes, the young man’s com ments being few and brief. Finally, his dinner finished, the elderly * man arose to go. Taking his hat and stick from the waiter he turned again to the youth and said: “Listen, Abie Rosenzwing, I pl pinochl> with your father every Saturday night; 1 shall tell him I ve had the pleasure of meeting you.’—Henrictta D.
