away a good deal and have to pay for m Gals
taken outside, he would like to arrange for a
deduction in such cases. IL was finally agreed
that Corning should be allowed IS cents for each
meal taken away from the hotel. At tue end of
q week Corning appeared with his little carpet
bag, and wanted to settle. His bill was m ads
out at $40. But, quoth the chililke Corning,
