How Potter Palmer Runs a Hotel.

IFTom tKe thIedgo IInles.1
Potter Palmer used to give even more of his
personal attention to his hotel than lie does now,
but Of course he couldn't become personally and
familarly acquainted with all his employees. An
old friend Of his tells this yarn "Mr. Palmer
one day saw one OF his call. boys standing against
the wall, and idly, thoughtlessly scratching It with
q key. Very promptly MIR. Palmer aroused the
young man out OF mis- dreamy state by telling him
TO uraw his pay and leave the house. The boy
made no words about 1t. He left as soon as pos
dressed, applied to Mr.. Palmer for a position.
Mr. Palmer remembered that he had Just dismissed
o call-boy, and asked the lad II he wanted that
pocket a letter OF recommendation from O hotel
proprietor In another city where he had worked.
In Q few moments he was at work again."
"Again7"
Eyes; 1t was the same boy. As soon as he was
discharged he ran OF, changed his clothes and
hurried back to ask for the vacant position. Under
o new name he went upon the pay-rolls, and re-
NAMED to become q favorite Of the regular guests. ,

the other night. He was n man who has
spent fifteen years in showing theatre-goers
to their seats, and, despite the many humili-
ating experiences that he has undergone, he
has gained nothing in acerbity of DISPOSE
ton and much in Chesterieldian p%oliteness.
Yes" said he. I'VE do have some queer
experiences, and il some of the ushers of my
acquaintance should put theirs upon paper
the record would make a large and most in
teresting book.
"A great deal of trouble arises from indie
pendent action of some people in securing
seats for themselves whether they have
checks for them or not. Some who do TINS
are ignorant, but are still gentlemanly or
ladylike, and can be persuaded to give the
seats up to the parties who are entitled to
them but there is another class that is
mulish and mean, and invites the use of
physical force in the settlement Of differences
of this sort, and these are usually accommo-
dated with the treatment invited. As gen.
eral thing the usher is abused by the man
who il ousted and by the man who is seated
rs we'll, and it is two to one that one or both
of them complain ut the box office. If they
do, no matter how right the usher may be.
the management rides with the patron and
against the usher. The reason for this IS
PLAINTIFF patron pays while the usher IL paid
"Women are the worst people to deal with.
How | dread n matinee 1t is u certain thing
that u woman is never suited, with any, seat
which she has purchased or which may have
been purchased for her. She sees another
that is Just to her liking, and she either
bothers the usher about changing or makes
the change of her w accord, without 80
much as by your leave and it is a brave
usher that has the temerity to attempt to dis
lodge her.
THE theatres might as we'll dispense with
ushers at matinees and let the women hutter
about and settle where they please.
Another theatre-goer that ushers deteSt
is the truly British aristocrat. He isn't salts
fed to be treated politely and shown to his
seat, but wants you to act the hunky for
him. These gentry soon find that they are
treated in no way differently from the other
patrons of the house.
Other annoyances are occasioned by the
| country people who grab the chief usher and
, insist ON his finding them a seat and that at
once. OF course this is only annoying to the
chief, the rest of us getting u little sport out
of such scenes."
Proffers of bad whiskey and worse cigars
by admission ticket-holders as brides for
the securing Of first-class seats were referred
to as other abuses to which the usher is sub
jected.

Austin hitched their chairs up n little nearer,
while Nonpareil Jack Dempsey, Comedian
Nat Goodwin and one or two irregular and
non resident members thought up tales to let
off when their turns came. The sage has one
habit of which none would deprive him.
He always lays the little metal checks brought
him, with the amount due for his orders
marked on them, in n heap on n
salver at his elbow, not settling until
he is ready to got out. The Interrupt
ton came from the youngest member of the
party. He asked every one to take u drink.
The story began, and by the time the waiter
had brought another check the teller was so
interested that the oun piece of brass was
deity added to the collection at the sage's
elbow entirely unnoticed.
Long years ago, when old Bill Clarke kept
the Arbor in Houston street, the sage went i'll
one evening to gather the latest pugilistic
gossip. Near the door stood Joe Coburn,
leaning nonchalantly with his elbow on the
bar. 1t was shortly after the Canadian
exploit with Jem Mace. Mr.. = had not

ing q few remarks with the proprietor than a
noisy half dozen men pushed through the
swinging portal past the pugilist, whom no
one recognized, and came down the room to
the end of the bar near the fire. They were
disputing 80 loudly about the Mace and
Coburn fzzle that they took Clarke's breath
away, especially as two or three were " roast

exciting did the discussion become, all
but one man pitching into Coburn
for cowardice. treachery and what not, and
but one of them taking the Americans part
against Mace, that they had almost forgotten
to call for what they wanted. Clarke, who
couldn't give them a quiet warming, they
were so excited, didn't know but that a
murder might be committed in his place;
The sage found the heat so oppressive that
he unbuttoned oyercoat, coat and waistcoat
while thinking which would be the best way
to make his escape. At last old Bill got a
