The Hotel.Thief Account.

"Steal!' said the old man, in accents
of intense scorn. aSteal! Why. YOU
would be astonished to find how large a
proportion Of the travelling public are
internal thieves. They steal the bed
clothing, pillows, boot-jacks, soap-dish-
es, soap--everything, in fact-which
they can carry off Everybody steals
soap We expect that, and don't kick.
The first thing to be done when fellow
comes to the Office to pay his bill is to
send the porter up to his room to see if
anything is missing. When a fellow
comes down with his valisc in his hand
We are unusually suspicious. The only
way to get even with the thieves is to
keep thief account Whenever any
thing is missed | charge it up to fair
value, and the next time | catch thief
in the act | make him pay the entire ac-
count or 60 to jail. One day nice
looking fellow came down with valise
in his hand, and inquired the amount Of
his bill. The moment saw him knew
that he had stolen something, so / rang
the bell and gave the porter wink. ]
pottered about the books while the por-
ter was gone, and I could see he was
getting uneasy He had notion to bolt
but just then the porter came down, and
| saw by his eye that something was
missing. ! jumped over the counter
and grabbed the rascal by the throat.
Open that valise, you thief, says [. He
got very white about the gills, and be-
gan to beg. When the valise was open
ed, sure enough, there was a new bed
spread for which | had paid five dollars.
Bill, says /, bring me the thief ac-
count footed it up and it amounted
to just fifty-six dollars. You pay that
or go to jail, says l. He thought it was
very hard to have to pay for other mems
stealings, but on the whole, concluded
that it was cheaper than to go to the
Penitentiary. Compounding a felony?
Well, yes, it did have that complexion.
But maybe it nipped thief in the bud
The girls are generally honest, but once
in while we catch one of them. One
time there was an internal tree peddler
stopped with US and he had black sat
in vest stolen. [ paid him five dollars
for it. He described 1t very accurately.
There was yellow spot on the collar,
where he had droppedd some acid on it,
and his name in full was written on the
leather with which it was bound at the
bottom. suspected the girl Mary. We
watched her for week or two, and con-
cluded we were mistaken, when one day
fellow came in with black satin vest,
and there was round yellow spot on
the collar. 1t was Mary's sweetheart.
| collared him, jerked up his vest, and
found the name Of the tree peddler on
the leather. He owned up that Mary
had stolen the vest and given it to him.
At that time the thief account was only
seven dollars, and so he got off cheap"

movement are waddling and clumsy.
His voice comes thick and-choked. He
labors in speech like locomotive 60
ing up steep grade. He puffs and
belches out his words in muff1ed way
that requires the closest attention to de-
termine what he is saying. He gesticu-
lates vigorously, but clumsily. The eli
max OF grotesqueness was reached when
he placed his two fat hands together
directly on level with his breast and
swung his powerful head back, as he
pumped, with triple horse
power, logic from the bottom Of his boots.
Never did he address the Speaker, and
occasionally turned his back square upon
him and faced the crowd as he would have
done petit jury. He shows bis age in
his slowness in answering questions, but
all Of his old adroitness in pretending to
answer them when he really evades them
under cloud of Butlerian fog.
