HOTEL pEAp-eEATS.
A Night Clerk Gives Away One OF Iheir
Clever Little Trlots.

Glover Iittio TrloNs.
There ire 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 bright
colored wooden shirt Hashy tie and
shoes OF yellow leather, and carrying
what is the latest craze among dudes
/ believe-a crab-apple cane walked
brislly up to the hotel counter and
registered his name for room for the
night, paying the money down. Ho
met another young man in the rotunda,
but / noticed that they never recog-
n!zed each other, and were apparently
strangers. But, from sizing them up,
| concluded that they were chums, and
were trying to ''worls" me. The young
fellow who registered went up in the
elevator Just as he was starting
across the rotunda to enter the elc-
vator the other young man walked
across TO the stairway and up tho
steps to the first floor. as II he
had already engaged room and
was going up to retire. When
the elevator boy came down asked
him II the elevator was stopped on the
way up. He replied that 1t was, and
that a young man came in on the first
floor and spoke TO the young drummer
very cordially, and that they were APP
parently old friends. and both had
gone to the same room. After closer
inspection found that the tive young
men had retired together. and by look
ing at the register at that late hour In
the morning ] happened to know who
were out. and who in. 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 u nights lodging. They
banked on working their scheme this
way: The young drummer came in In a
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 clera. would think
that he was guest who had come in
and engaged a room during the day.
and he was walking up to his room.
not having noticed the elevator then
starting up. He hurries around aud
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
off watch, thinking that the day clerks
would know nothing OF their dead-beat
game. But they were beautifully
fooled. st. Louis Globe-Deniocrat.

EARLY IMPRESSIONS.

FIst Teachings Go Deeper Into the Feei-
Ings Than Later In.tructio n.
The permanence OF early impressions
Is IN old and well-worn theme, but one
the parent and the teacher who would
secure the most saluta-y results from
their instruction must never forget or
neglect. First teachings go deep into
the feelings; the material Is then
plastic; the slightest trace leaves Its
record, and time, instead OF erasing,
hardens 1t TO rock.
In ono OF the early Indian raids in
New England. boy was captured and
retained by the savages for some
years. He grew up in the customs oil
the red man. After his return to his
old home, he made profession OF re-
ligion, and studied for the ministry.
In the opening of the revolution he
was preaching near anc OF our battle
fields. As the fight waxed hot, he was
seen to leave his home. and advance
toward the scene o. engagement On
bis return. he was met by one of the
members OF his church. who at once

Are you wounded?" he continued.
''No, not wounded" just then the
preachers coat became unbuttoned,
and there fell to the ground three OF
four fresh scalps. Il could not help

arms and fed. The savage instinct
revived at the sight of blood. and in

SQuEAklNG SHOES.


What Has been Considered nm Annoy an 30
Proves to be Music.
Squeak. squeak, squeak. What q
disagreeable thing is a squsaking shoe!
| went to a shoemaker to-day and asked
him what made shoes squeak. He told
me that in walking the two surfaces OF
leather and shoe-sole slipped back
ward and forward on each other, and
the friction causes the squeak. This
is proved, he said, in two ways. This
squealting is not heard II the sole OF
the shoe is perfectly fat. and the more
curved 1t is the more squeaking there
is, Then. II you take squeaking
shoe. and drive number OF pegs or
tachs all over the sole, SO that the two
thiclSnesses OF leather can't slip on
each other, the squeaking ceases.
One way Of preventing the squeak
ing is TO insert tarred or felt
paper between the leather sur
faces. Another, which has not
been tried, is the sprinkling OF pow
dered rosin on the surfaces before
they are sewed or pcgged together 1t
is singular how this runs into the sub
ject OF music. The squeaking OF
shoes is a musical sound. The pecul-
iarity OF II Is that 1t is so high
pitched, and the high pitch is the ef-
feet of the rapidity OF the vibrations
produced. These rapid vibrations are

A REMARKABLE TRICK.

How n Stranger Robbed the Frequenters
of n Southern Race Track.
II never hear any horse talk" said
the judge, with retrospective stroke
of his flowing gray whis!ers, without
thinking OF race once witnessed at
Yazoo City, Miss, nearly twenty years
ago. A man who owned beautiful
sorrel gelding had matched it against
fine brown horse owned by stranger.
breeder from some neighboring State.
Very few people had bet on the brown
excepting his owner, and the cons
sequence was that every one who went
out TO see the race-whlch was for
stake OF $l,000-had q direct financial
interest In the sorrers success. was
chosen one OF the three judges. and We
were determined that the fairest OF
fair play should be had. The race was
TO be run In mile heats. best two In
three. Well, the horses came out on
the track. and the excitement ran
high. The animals owners were
their Jockeys. and both rode we'll.
The first heat was great race, but the
sOrrel got little the best Of it. There
was the usual wait during which the
owner OF the brown horse took occa-
sion TO make q few more bets, OF course
securing long odds. Then came the
second heat, and the sorrel, which
plainly showed the effects OF the first
heat, was beaten by a neck. The third
heat was an easy victory for the brown,
the sorrel being badly played out with
his two previous efforts. We duly
gave our decision for the brown
horse, and the stranger scooped
in the stakes and some thing like
five thousand dollars In bets. Every
body In town was mad clear through,
but when the truth came out,
the word fury i'll describes the condi-
ton Of the public temper. 1t trans
pired that the stranger owned t0o
brown horses. so like each other that
they might have been twins. Neither
one OF them was as good an animal as
the sorrel, but he had raced with them
alternately, bringing the fresh horse
on for the second heat, and the first
one, well rested, for the third. or
course, he had an easy thing Of it, and
not one OF amateur judges was smart
enough to detect the trick. His stable
boy was the only sharer OF his conf
dence, and suppose he was we'll re-
warded. The stranger was smart
enough to jump the town. horses and
all. by the first train after the race, or
he would have been lynched. As it
was, the judges came near being
mobbed. "-Chicago journal.

The paymaster OF large railroad
company having It's headquarters In
Boston went out on one occasion with
$50. 900 to pay of its employees. Tho
money was carried under his arm.
wrapped up In an old newspaper. He
stopped at little wayside eating
house for dinner, and on going away.
IN fit OF Observation-Disclosures left the
money lying on chair. He had not
gone many miles from the place be-
fore he missed it, and his dismay on
discovering its loss can well be
imagined. Almost despairlng OF re-
covering the package left In 50 public
place, he hurried back, and. with
trembling voice, asked the woman In
charge II sho had seen the parcel.
"There's u bit of paper on the chair be-
yant." said she, perhaps that's It,"
which it proved to be, and the gentle
man returned u happier and wiser
man.
Another man In the same city lost a
roll OF bills amounting to $4,000.
which, also, was wrapped up in a news
paper. He told a friend Of his loss.
and the friend made him describe all
the ground he had been over since he
had the money. The last place men,
toned was the post-ofiice. The night
was wet overhead and slushy under
loot They visited the post-office, and,
going to the spot whepe the man had
been standing, they found two or three
torn bits Of newspaper. 1t was the
same. They looked further, and at
last found the lost treasure. 1t had
been kicked In turn by every one who
came into the office, and when found

the friends returned TO their hotel and
spent several hours In cleaning and
drying IT, The gentleman was so
grateful for the sensible advice which
had saved him from serious loss that
he took out his friend and bought him
the handsomest gold wntch-chaln that
he could find in the city.
A still more remarkable incident Is
related of the finding OF $780, 900, lost
by NJ. Pages in the Northern railway
station In Paris some ten years ago.
As one Ezelot. French soldier, was
walking with two comrades through the
station they noticed on tho floor a small
package wrapped in newspaper. They
kicked 1t along before them for some
distance. and when Ezelot was getting
into the train. going home on short
leave, one OF his comrades, picking up
the package, thrust it into the canvas
forage bag slung at his side, Ezelot GO
ing on his way without having per-
ceived the little pleasantly. Arriving
at Neuilly. where his parents lived.
Ezelots mother. emptying the forage
bag, discovered the bundle. but think
ing 1t roll OF old newspapers put it
on table in the kitchen. There IL
remained for four or five days, till
married sister. calling in and seeing
the package, was moved by an UNI
wonted curiosity. Opening it she dis
covered documents representing the
EGG, 900. the loss OF which NJ Pages
had advertised throughout Europe.
The soldier and his parents. however,
had not seen the advertisement. and
not knowing what else to do, had re-
course to the MARIE. That functionary
communicating with Paris speedily
brought down NJ. Pages. who, gladly
paying the promised reward OF 1000.
went of with his oddly recovered
treasure. 1t would be an interesting
supplement to the narrative II we
could have record OF the feelings OF
the soldier who thrust this unexpected
good fortune upon Ezleot when he
heard the sequel to his little joke
