a MODEST DRUMMER.
Tho Annoying Predicament In Which BE
Was Placed by a Sncak-ThieE

VIII Eansard, a travelling salesman Of
Louisville, was once upon a time pursuing
his calling in Bell and Harlan counties,
KY. These two counties are the most
mountainous and thinly inhabited in the
State. just before starting back 70 Louis
vile he passed the night at farmhouse in
Harlan. When he went TO bed he huEg his
trousers on a chair near the window. Next
morning the trousers were gone and no one
knew where. Some one passing in the
night had reached in at the window and
taken them, for his host was above sus-
picion.
Mr. Hansard called loudly for the farmer,
expecting to borrow pair Of trousers from
him. His wife came to the door and said
that her husband had gone hunting an hour
before, and, as he had only one pair Of
trousers, he had very naturally worn them.
Here was q dilemma, but his hostess, who
was a woman Of expedients, solved IT. She
came TO the door With one OF her Mother
Hubbards and suggested that the drummer
put Il on. He consented. She tossed the
garment 70 him and closed the door. He
got into the Mother Hubbard, went out 70
the stable, hitched up his team, and climbed
into bis buggy. Hero be took the garment
of and handed it back 10 the lady, who was
fuu OF sympathy for him. The buggy con
cealed his lower eSoremiues, and be
wrapped his linen doster around them to
keep them warm.
Mr. Hansard drove quickly 70 the near
est store, about four miles away, expecting
70 buy a pair Of trousers there, for all the
country stores he pt ready-made clothing.
When he gOt there he found numerous
ladies who had cOugregated 20 see the
opening Of some new goods. Hs could not
leave the buggy, but be yelled for She

AN HOTEL CLERKS TALE.
Human Nature "a Seen in Ono OF New
York's Large Caravansaries.

York's Large Caravansarfes.
"Humcn nature, as seen in big hotel is
rather envious, isn't iti" a New York Sun
man queried Of the day clerk as he leaned
on the counter.
Yes, " be slowly and dryly replied.
''For instance" the reporter continued,
a. have a chandelier with FIVE burners in
nv room, but three OF the burners are
plugged up and can't be lighted. The soap
is cheap and poor, the looking-glass is
cracked, the marblc-topped stand is stained
with ink and one leg Of the lounge is broken.
HOw's that Cor hotel naturer'
"ay dear sir" he replied, as he paused
for a moment from his work Of pigeonhol-
ing the noon mail, Il was obliged to put
yol in a room just vacated by Western
merchant and his wife. He got drunk and
broke the lounge and cracked the glass.
She took away with her two towels and two
cakes of fine soap. He is responsible for
the ink-stains, and he stuffed two table nap
kns into his pocket and carried them OFF,
and she broke dollar pitcher and q seven
ty-cent pane Of glass. We plugged up the
burners because they lighted the whole FIVE
and went of TO the theater. think he car
ried of one of the keys TO the door, and l
know she cribbed bouquet holder from
the parlor. How's that for travelling hu-
man naturei"
The newspaper man was silent for the
want Of argument, and the clerk presently
continued:
Here are half dozen kilograms and a
score Of letters from men who will call
around in due season and inquire for them,
or want them forwarded to points IN Maine
or Texas, and give ne my trouble for the
profits. And perhaps you'd like to buy
some of these dozen worthless checks for
ten cents on the dollar, or take some Of the
score of trunks in the store-room and settle
the bills for which they are held. Oh, yes
oh, yes This human nature is a big
thing and the longer you live the more you
viii be convinced that ali the advantage is
