The Hotel sBeat.-

While deadbeats all como under tn
same general head OF fellows who
"beat" their fellowmen, they may be
divided into several different classes,
according TO their instincts, abilities,
and methods. The deadbeat which the
hotel fraternity is most Interested in IS
the hotel deadbeat. He is about the
meanest deadbeat that an inscrutable
Providence allows to live and thrive by
the sweat of his neighbours brow. since
the fellow who virtually steals his bed
and board is about the lowest OF hu-
man beings. If he would steal Ike
professional burglar, without employ
ing false pretenses, he might lay claim
to little respectability, but this hotel
board sneakthieving under disguise
is the most contemplate and at the
same time the safest thievery in the
catalogue of crimes. The particular
deadbeat we wish to scorch IN
this paragraph is the fellow who
"has always paid his bill" until some
fine day he suddenly forgets to
pay q good-sized bill, and perhaps on
the strength of old acquaintance aad
credit gets a worthless check cashed,
or borrows some money. his is the
meanest dead beat of all, and the Great
Conundrum is why the laws of nature,
if not the laws of man, allow such
dispicable creature to live. \ mule

masters brains out, for the mule knows
that he has no reputation at stake, and

traveller, who, the letter accom-
panying the bill informs us, had been
stopping at the house for years, and
always paid his bills promptly. A
few weeks ago he came to the house
hurriedly, en- route for another city,
but stopped long enough to borrow
$50 to telegraph to his wife and So
more to go TO another town, saving he
would return the same evening. In
addition to this q clerk of the hotel
paid him 1915 for a pair of opera
glasses he agreed to send. Since the
date of the above transactions the hotel
people have been unable to hear any
thing from him, and undoubtedly it is
case of deadbeat. The stranger dead
beat can be considerably guarded
against-at least loans or payment of
checks can he refused-but every hotel
man knows how embarrassing it is to
refuse to accommodate old patrons of a
hotel. 1t is this class of hotel dead
beats that often makes hotel men ask,

Camp Meeting John Allen.

John Allen, the famous Methodist
preacher of Maine, better known as
Camp Meeting" John Allen, at one
time was acting as Chaplain of the
Maine Legislature, and was called upon
to pray for the Governor. Now, this
Governor wasn't of Camp Meeting"
Johns political persuasion, so the
Chaplain naively prayed that he might
be the best Governor the State ever
had, if possible.
The worthy Chaplain hit the legis-
lators themselves still harder. He
prayed, 40 Lord, enable them to con-
dense and be able to stop when they
get through" That was certainly
practical prayer, if not OF the compli-
mentary stamp usually offered on such
occasions.
