TELL TALE EXTRA: SEASONED EATINGS!

Wyoming's own Al Krug and Berlin's own Inez Mischitz recently walked into the most expensive hotel in St. Louis. Upon entering the hotel restaurant, Al buttonholed a waiter and wailed, ''I have a pal here for dinner that's been subsisting for years on cereals and short stogies. We have got more than Bernhardts tent full of money and we want the nose bags crammed with all the Chief Deveries de cuisine. Object is no expense.'' Inez, never a parvenu, demanded, ''You see the chef and order a dinner for us such as you serve to Dave Francis and the general passenger agent of the Iron Mountain when they eat here!''
