Sicilian Hotels.
MR.. CHARLES DUDLEY WARMERS EXPERI-
ENCE or ONE OF THEM

Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner is enjoying
himself IN Sicily. The next best thing to
travelling in strange lands ones self is to
have Charles Dudley Warner do the travel
ing, and then tell US all about /; in his own
delightful way. His letters from Sicily,
published in his paper, the Hartford Cour-
ant, are as pleasant reading of the kind as
can be found. In his latest. printed Satur-
day. We read of his visits to Agrigentum
and Catania, and OF his impressions of the
ruins and other great relics of Greek, Ro-
man, Christian and Saracenic civilizations
which have flourished in that island. We
find room for characteristic parag raph con-
eerning some of his hotel experiences:
But am wandering from this hotel which
wish to commend. 1t hasn't its like in
the world, think, out of Sicily. and here
is only matched By those in Syracuse. How
it is kept running cannot imagine, since
the keepers of it feel no interest in their
guests until the time comes for making out
the bill. They give all their energies to
that. IL is a hotel where YOU can call for
anything you want. You have this priyi-
lege; but of course YOU do not get anything
Ii is not true to say that il contains moth
ing that you can eat, and nobody to serve
il, for we did live in fashion. But il is an
exciting place, a place where you struggle
for existence, and the landlord looks on in
an amused manner.
When We went into the dining room a
surprise awaited US. We found some
thing that had never seen before, and did
noeexpect so far from the centres of civiliza-
ton. This was an electric bell on the table,
a cord, passing over the chandelier, termi-

plantations during the days Of slavery
There was one season, for instance, when
Uncle Remus was troubled with the tooth
ache, and he not only refused TO tell any
stories, but he was cross and impatient be-
sides. He had periods OF toothache ana
impatienee, and periods Of toothache and
remorse. One morning he said TO the little
boy:

The old man put on his coat. seized his
huge walking cane, and went off, and the
little boy saw him no more until night,
when. as was his custom, he made an infor-
NAL call at the cabin. The door was open,
fire was blazing upon the spacious hearth,
and the old man was in such good-humor
that the child fully expected to hear some
thing further about the curious adventures
of Brother Rabbit and Brother Fox. All
the indications pointed in that direction

mixer, and her position gave her almost ss
much authority on the place as that supposed
to be vested in Uncle Remus. She wore
flaming red and yellow head d-kerchief, and
she had a habit OF shutting her eyes and
holding her head on one side when she
talked, which by some curious process gave
unusual emphasis to what she said. Aunt
