"That reminds me of a whimsical little
incident evhich I witnessed in 1$05 e
cafe in Antwerp." said one of the listen-
ers to the foregoing, "I was spending et
few weeks in the city and used to drev
in at a place to which I refer to read zee
paper over a glass and cigar. The -pub-
lic room was equipped with a number a
little tables oil a sanded floor, and rangaa1,
along one of the walls were several seaSse
inets or lockers where residents' kept
their private bottles. The house supplieet
the liquor, and they strolled in whenevest
they felt like it and helped themselvee
a nip.
"One day when I was sitting' in arse
favorite corner a stout gentleman, wine
was evidently an old citizen, came 7.19'
with an American whom he seemed to be.

erect and slender, with a dignified age
riage and an iron gray, seminailitimf
mustache. They tOok the adjoining; tz-

died aver to the cabinet and returnee
with a long necked wine bottle and ow.

liberately and then eecorlsed the hetfle,
the American looking on with ail expeeee

course there was a frightful row. Er.
erybody talked at once, and the gers-
darmes rushed in and took several rem*
of memoranda.
