THE HOTEL CLERKS STORY.

tits the fashion among many so-called
humorists to represent the American
hotel clerk as lordly and supercilious
being, who, with a headlight diamond
in his Immaculate shirt front and look
of contemptuous disdain upon his clas-
sic features, sends tired and travel
stained arrivals off to impossible regions
in the ffteeHth story, or haughtily re-
fuses them any lodging whatever.

hotel clerk Is an invaluable feature OF
our civilization. The time of the ar
rivals and departures of all trains on all
the railroads is at his tongues end; he

The accuracy OF Clerk Hammond's
