4 Night Clerk Gives Away One. Of Thsap
Clever Little Tricks.

4 Night Clerk Gives Away One. OF Thsap
Clever Little Tricks.
There are some people who certainly
take hotel clerks to be fools Of the first
water, judging from the badly-con-
cealed tricks they play In attempting
to ''dead-beat" . hotel The other
night at late hour . dapper-looking
young drummer. wearing a bright.
colored WOODEN shirt fiashy tie and
shoes Of yellow leather, and carrying
what is the latest craze among dudes,
I believe-a crab-apple cane walked
briskly up to the hotel counter and
registered his name for room for the
night, paying the money down. He
met another young man in the rotunda,
but noticed that they never recog.
nized each other, and we're apparently
strangers. But. from sizing them up,
I concluded that they were chums, and
were trying to ''work" me. The young
fellow who registered went up in the
elevator. just as he was starting
across the rotunda to enter the ele-
vator the other young man walked
across to the stairway and up the
steps to the first floor, as II he
had already engaged room and
was going up to retire. When
the elevator boy came down I asked
him II the elevator was stopped on the
way up. He replied that It was, and
that o young man came in on the first
floor and spoke to the young drummer
very cordially, and that they were ap-
parently old friends. and both had
gone to the same room. After closer
inspection found that the two young
men had retired together. and by look
ing at the register at that late hour in
the morning I happened to know who
were out, and who in. I knew, then,
that the young drummer and his friend
were pretending to be strangers before
me in order that one OF them only
would pay for a nights lodging. They
banked on working their scheme this
way: The young drummer came in in q
hurry, paid for his room and started
up in the elevator to retire. as many
people naturally do at that late hour.
His friend argued. no doubt, that
being the night clerk, would think
that he was guest who had come in
and engaged room during the day,
and he was walking up to his room,
not having noticed the elevator then
starting up. He hurries around and
stops the elevator and both the young
frauds then retire. The next day the
young drummer and his friend, of
course, would come down late. after am
of watch. thinking that the day clerks
would know nothing Of their dead-beat
game. But they were beautifully
fooled. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE TENNIS PLAYER.

A Decided Gain to Society in the New
World as Well as the Old.
The professional lawn-tennis player,
male and female, is also another gain
to society. We apologize most hum.
bly, for the designation, for we are we'll
aware that (happily) there are no
professional" lawn-tennis players in
this country. But the game has now
become the serious occupation OF 80
many young men and women OF leisure
that it is difficult not to regard it as q
distinct calling. The player OF the
highest grade is sad and earnest per.
son whose whole life is spent in trying
to get Fifteen better" than any body
else; and when he or she at length at
tains that exalted position. sleepless
nights and laborous days are spent in
the effort to maintain it. Those
innocent persons who look
upon lawn tennis merely as
a pleasant pastime would be
met by smile Of contemptuous pity
from a crack player. Morning, noon
and night, all the year round. the stars
do nothing but practice the game. In
the summer they move about from one
tournament to another, winning~ll the
best prizes, and when autumn comes
they fly to Cannes, Nice or Algiers to
pursue their favorite occupation. In
the case Of ladies such devotion Is the
more praiseworthy, because Of the real
sacrifices it entails. The lady-player
who really means business has to let
her appearance 60. She must play,
hail, rain or shine, her face burned In
the sun and freckled in, the wind, while
all feminine prettiness OF apparel is
sacrificed to the stout, serviceable gar
ments, heelless shoes and plain hats,
which alone are suitable. A fiutter of
ribbons and laces about her, tight
shoes, or hat perched insecurely on
her head would "put her off her
stroke" altogether OF course, there
are some who contrive to combine play
with prettiness, but they are in the
minority. All the Year Round.

Caldwell & Hughey fell victims to
forged check, fortunately for small

Saturday a young man who evidently
came to do the town in the way OF for
gerry. He first obtained blank check
from the Highland County Bank, which
he flled out for the amount of six dollars
payable to himself, signed by Geo.
Rueker. He proceeded to Boden Bros,
where he purchased small amount OF
goods and ask the clerk to deliver the
goods. He being stranger, the clerk
asked where he lived, whereupon he
stated that he resided at the third house
below Mr.. Jesse Harper's on South
Washington street. Mr.. Boden hearing
this statement informed the stranger
that he was certainly mistaken, as that
place was the pad factory. The young
man seeing that he was baffled said that
he would cMl himself and get the goods,
and stepped out without rendering the
check. He next went to j. X. Binders,
where he again purchased a certain
amount OF goods and at once presented
the check. As it was signed by Geo.
Rucker where it should have been
Rucker & Co., he was defeated again,
but intent upon his purpose he pro-
ceeded to Caldwell & Hughey's, pur-
chased sack of -four, presented the
check and received five dollars and forty
cents in cash and walked out immediate
ly. Mr.. Hughey discovered that he was
beat and informed the Marshal, but the
bird had flown and has not yet been

Late and authentic information
from those who arc posted Is to the
effect that the Ferguson and Win
tiers tract ofland at South Point have
been sold to parties representing the
Norfolk & Western Railroad Com
pany and that the regularly legal
transfer is only waiting the prepare
ton of the abstract and necessary
papers. The land was purchased
at bargain, as cheap almost as the
rights of way could have been Sc
cured, and that part Of it which is
not to be used for tracks and ap--
proaches to the bridge will be re-
served for town site. The land is
beautifully situated, most Of it, and
would be very valuable for the pur-
pose indicated.
1t is understood finally that the
Norfolk q Western Company pro-
pose to bridge the river at point
near South Point. That seems to
be settled, and they are now at
work securing the rights of way on
to lronton from that point.-Iroa
