found out that it was a smOoth-faced,
handsome young Jewish drummer
for Milwaukee clothing house
who was in with the gang, and he gave the
chambermaid SIS to loan him an old dress
SO he could play chambermaid. When my
wife told me that the chambermaid patted
her on the cheek and said that she was the
sweetest bride that was ever IN that hotel,
and asked her for kiss, and my wife said
she thought it would be no harm to kiss a
poor chambermaid and encouraged her, 1

Office the next morning, but the smooth

while we were at supper somebody got into
the room and put cracker crumbs into our
bed, and we found cold oilcloth foor-mat
over the top sheet, enough to freeze any
| anybody. But the worst was at night.
| We had just got comfortably into bed
when there was knock at the door and l
got up, and the Waterman was there and he

escape, so l could get out in case of fire;
and went out in the hall, and he took me
way oat to the front of the building to
show it to me, and while 1 was looking out
of the window my wife came running down
the hall and begging me to save her. I
asked her what was the matter, and she
said as soon as I went out man that
looked like porter came into the room
and told her to fly and save herself and to
follow her husband. She felt awful when
she found there was no trouble, and we got
back in our room half froze. I have got
them fellows down fine. The fellow who
| called me out to look at the fire-escape is a
drummer for a Philadelphia millinery
house, and the one that scared my wife out
of her wits travels for hearse factory at
Rochester, n. Y. My wife says she would
know him, because he has a big
gray mustache, and wears
diamond collar button in his shirt. She
said she thought ne was pref
| ty stylish for a porter at the time. They
| woke us up several times in the night to
tell us what to do in case we were sick, and
in the morning, before we were up, wait
er brought up our breakfast. He said the
landlord sent it up, and he Just stood
! around until we had to sit up in bed and

it was kind in the landlord to send up our
breakfast, but when 1 found that the waiter
who brought it up was travelling man for
a reaper factory at Rockford, and remem-
bered how darned impatient he looked at
my wife, l could have murdered him, but
the clerk said he had gone to Winnipeg.
1t was just about as sad coming down here
on the sleeping car, and l think half the

drummers that were showed in. 1t

extra blankets and they would steal them.
L had about twenty blankets put on my

was blanket spread over US there was diff
ferent porter put it on, and 1 think all
were travelling men. Every little while
somebody would pull open the curtains
and sit down on my berth and begin to
pull off his boots, and would tell him the
berth was occupied, and that he must have
made mistake; and he would look around
at Us as innocent as could be and ask our
pardon, and then go out and damn the
porter. Once felt somebody feeling about
my berth and I asked what was the matter,
and the fellow said he was locking for nv
wife's shoes to black. Then about every
fifteen minutes the conductor would open
the curtains and hold red lantern in and

my ticket sixty five times. Anyway it

ing men who were playing conductor, but
I was sleepy and thought the best was to
let them punch it. Well, about three
o'clock in the morning somebody puncY ed

the passengers were up, and we would
