over you, in room without FIRE or steam
except the mist that blew in at your window,
although you were promised q warm room,
and then to be called to breakfast only TWEEN

small potatoes half baked, liberal slice Of
tough beef and about two ounces of bread,
with the usual dose Of hot slops, is hardly

the bowling and scraping OF the clerks as
you take your departure on the dead run for
the train. We can show better hotel &C.
commodations than those, even In st. Johns
bury.
