The management of agreat hotel isas ar
duous and exacting n task as any allotted to
man-at least that is the belief and opinion
of all managers have ever met 1t is easy
enough to perform the duties which devolve
upon the manager, for there is nothing more
to be done than to personally know that the
guests of the hotel are being properly enter
tanned and to see that they are made to feel
perfectly at home. There is the great secret of
success - making your guests feel as though
they were welcomeas under their own roof
and giing them when possible personal evil
dence of the fact The details are looked after,
in all first-class hoteh, by competent and eff
cient corps of clerks and assistants with well
paid attaches throughout the building, thus re-
lieving themanager of a vast amount OF work.
And vet he must be within call when wanted,
and it is to the advantage of the hotel he rep
resents for him to be seen as much as possible.
Promptness is one Of the requisites, for guests
become dissatisfied permanently when they
suspect neglect, and if their small wants are
quickly satisfied they will often overlook
some of the larger defects. Success can be
summoned up as due to regularity, prompt
ness courtesy and strict surveillance of de-
tails and the art of convincing your guests at
once that he is heartily welcome. He viii
always come again.-ManaSer Lewis in Globe.

IT Paws To study Human Nature.

A crippled old man keeps a bootblacking
stand ia the city hall The old man has seen
his best days-and they do say good deal
better days than these appear TO be for him
his eyes are dim and his hand a trife shaky.
But he knows what human nature is quite as
well as he did in his prime, and possibly
better. In each of tine two chairs, which the
old man maintains for the use Of his Gus
TONERS, he constantly keeps two periodicals.
They are illustrated papers, and when there
are no customers on hand the papers are dis
played with their loudest engravings upper
most ready to catch the eye of the passer-by.
Its mighty queer" the old man said the
other day, in one of his talkative moods, "but
guess those two papers bring me in 81 or s.
wuth of business every day. There's lots o
chaps, We know, young men, who amt happy
till they's seen the Illustrated papers every
week, an yet they never think of buyin' 'em.
They won't throw their money away in that
style, but they'll sit down here an git their
shoes shined up an look over the papers while
I'm at the job. Then there's men who
wouldn't mind spendin' the dime, but who are
ashamed to 60 to a news stand and buy them
papers. They wouldn't have their friends
think they would read such papers, ye know,
and yet they're among the best customers I've
got. guess the twenty cents put into them
two police papers every week is money well
invested. Chicago Herald.
