Several Americans were dinlng at a West End restaurant in London recently when a patriotic Yankee pointed out that sherry, the wine hailing from Spain, the land of the hated foe, was on the table, , and suggested that it should be removed. One or two objected. The beverage, they thought, was excellent, and they did not see the fim of sacriflcing the palate to national sentiment. The contending parties came to something like hot words when a Hibernian waiter In attendance whispered that he was aware the stuff had no oonnectlon whatever with Spain - ia 'act, it had been brewed in London. The disputants changed the subject, but did not cali for any more "sherry." The matter, however, reached the ears of the restaurant proprietor, who, the Daily Telegraph says, showed hls appreciation of his too truthful subordínate by discharging him on the spot.
