Costly Stupidity,

A hotel clerk quoted by the st. Louis
Globe Democrat: Two or three years ago
| was night clerk at the Hotel Nantasket,
at Nantasket beach. One night John l..
Sullivan, with Pete Mccoy and few of
his other sporting friends, came and
12 o'clock and the bar was closed, but
the head barkecper happened to be near
the desk, and knowing Sullivan he
opened the doors and the party went in.
They sat ut Il table for some time and
drank couple of bottles of wine. They
had evidently had some before coming
TO the hotel, and they felt the effects of
1t pretty strongly. AS they sat there
dispute arose about some point or other
which did bot understand, and Sullivan
finally wanted to bet 800 that he was
right. "Oh, come off, said Mccoy,
s.you haven't a 800" "H'aint II" ro-
tortcd Sullivan in loud voice, as he
rose from the table, "I'll show you l'ye
got money. Sec here" and quick
as a wink he drew a magnificent gold
watch from his vest pocket, released it
from the guard and threw it with his
whole strength against the partition
which separated the wineroom from the
hotel lobby. 1t sounded like bullet from
gun as II struck the woodwork. OF
course. the watch was ruined. That was
a sample of the reckless and foolish dis
plays which he frequently made IL those
days.
