each. They are fine table fish. Some complaints
have been made of their not being fit for use.

The Dummy Key.

An ingenious scheme has been in
vented by a Congressman which he is
studiously trying to keep to himself,
which has so far worked to a charm.
He calls it ''the dummy key racket"
This Congressman is a very popular
fellow and lives at one Of the hotels In
Washington. He found that his room
had become the headquarters OF a
crowd of his friends, who were using it
after the free and easy fashion of a club
house. He didn't like to say any thing
about it, but he saw plainly that some
thing must be done and done quickly.
Being of an observing turn of mind
he noticed that visitors inquiring after
boarders In the hotel usually looked at
the key boxes back of the clerks desk.
If the key was gone it was tolerably
certain that the man had taken it to
open his door, and was probably In.
On the other hand. if the key was In
the box of course the boarder was out.
This fact gave the Congressman a very
enlarged idea. He knew that il his friends
saw a key there that they would think
he was away, and therefore would not
come up stairs, so he had a dummy
