The Ryan beilmen are divided into two
crews of ten each. Of these six are on
duty at the Office, one man attends to
the ladies' entrance, another runs the
elevator and two remain on duty in the
Sub-office. These men are under the
charge of JEFF Luckie, the head bellman.l
who is assisted by Edward Riley and
Austin Clay, the captains Of NotcheS A
and B, respectively.
A man must be more than mechanical
in order to become successful bell
man. He must use his head as we'll as
his heels, and conduct himself at all
times
WITH DISCRETION AND PRoPRIETY. .
A large hotel is world within ITSELF
Like the greater universe without its,
walls, it is filled with possibly petty
iealouSies, heartburningS, gossip, envy
and scandal. The bellman lives in this
atmosphere day after day, and therefore;
it is small wonder that he becomes more
or less familiar with the habits of the
guests. and particularly with the daily
routine life of the regular boarders. He
cannot help knowing. for instance, that,
Miss So-and-S0 gets her breakfast at an
unusually late hour, for he sees her in
the dining room just as the doors close

Mr.. What's-his-name, also, who married
that pretty girl not more than a year
ago, is taken up stairs five nights
in the week in gloriously mel-
low condition, and at an early hour in
the morning." The bellman knows all
this, because he not only sees it con-
tinually, but hears it talked of on all
sides. What escapes the knight of the.

chariot, n tiny silver gong about the
size of railroad timetable tinkles
gayly, and away you go, arousing the
envy and admiration of those who have
never been under arrest.
But how, asks the keen and pungent
reader. can St Louis afford to do this,
while n n city like New York the
criminal must either walk to the sta
tion-house or forego the joys of arrest
entirely. The answer is simple. Here
the criminal pays $3.50 for an arrest
which he used to get at 81. This pays
his dIoska hire and makes his arrest
something to look back to with pleas
ure. People who yield to the police
and hecome arrested from time to time
do not care for the expense. Mostly
they reter the expense to place which
should be alluded to sparingly in q
Sunday paper. And 80 the sum of So 80
doesn't bother tn; m at all. They pay it
if they have it,and If they do not an OPP
portunity is given them to earn it later
on mt some skilled labor like pounding
sand. This makes the arrest an orna-
ment to the city, and the gentlemanly
crimina! or misdemeanor obligato pays
for it, thus contributing to his own
comfort and making his arrest deli
cate tribute to himself which the pa
pers can use, and which will read we'll
in a scrap-book when forked over to
future generations.
St Louis points with pride to her
police system and methods of arrest.
a New York man who comes to ST.
Louis and gets arrested is treated just
as well us if he had been born here;
whereas a st. Louis man who goes to
New York, when arrested, is at once
looked upon with suspicion.
The people of st. Louis love to
compare their Iolice and arrest system
with those of other cities, and to speak
of Chicago with quiet scorn. They
love to point with pardonabie pride to
their five mayors, neither one of whom
dared for some time to leave town for
fear one of the Others would be sole
mayor when he got back. They also
speak with some acrimony of the old
time Chicago Justice of the peace, who
used to have h shrine ever gilded

built in ba"k of the bench, also

the day wore on, while now and
then the hoarse overriding power
of the justice mingle its accents with
the whistle of the speaking tube and
the low moan of the tipess dumb
waiter.
