HIS OWN VICTIM.
Mr. Johnny Meohan, tho originator of the "quick lunch" counter, died in New York recently. It is significant that at tho end he was tho victim of acute indigestion, Meohan began life as a newspaper boy, and died worth .£200,000. In spito of his fortune, Mr. Jleehan worked to tho end, and up to the last could havo been seen carrying ham and beef in one of his famous "Beaneries." His customers helped themselves at tho counters, and paid without receiving a bill. Tho standard of honesty in American "quick lunch" resorts was high, as Mcehan's fortune shows. But tho "acute indigestion" of the originator of the mover ment is probably a sufficient justification 'for tho general condemnation of the custom upon hygienic grounds.
