The Man With the Coonskin Cap.

New York Sum-: One night a year ago
there we're half a dozen of us to go up to
the village hotel in the rickety ola bus,
and among the crowd was n solemn
looking old chap dressed in very plain
goods and wearing u coonslSin cap. 1t
was the typical village hotel landlord in
the barroom, a very fresh young man
behind the register, mighty little for
supper, and that poorly cooked, and
there was more or less growing. The
man with the coonskin cap was treated
very brusquely by the clerk, and, the
frowsy-headed waiter girl didn't seem
to care whether he had anything to eat
or not. He didn't say much, but it was
evident that he was mad.
After supper the landlord and Coon
skin" had a private confab. When it
was ended the old man came down stairs,
opened the front door, and then turned
to the clerk and said:
''You git" -
"What do you mean?"

The clerk put on his coat and hat and
walked out. The ''CoOnskinp sent word
half an hour, and for the %barkeeper to
vacate by noon the next day. He
kindly allowed us to stop owe night,
but we had to get our breakfast at a
| bakery. BY noon the doors Of the hotel
were locked up. signs OF CLOSED
posted, and as we footed 1t down to the
depot the solemn old man thawed out
sufficiently to observe:

clerk, who was waiting at the time on
some one else:
''HOw much are your t~oothpicks?"
1--WE don't keep them at this coun-
ter" said the girl.
The portly and naughty woman
crushed the girl, or tried to, with a look
of scorn, ard repeated:
Il asked you how much are those
toothpicks?"
"The girl was evidently mystifed.
and replied again:
1--WE don't keep them here, madam"
"You don't keep them? Then what
are those?" exclaimed the woman, with
a naughty gesture toward a little vel
vet-lined box containing a dozen sharp
pointed implements four or five inches
long.
''Those are nut-picks, madam" said
the girl, in a cruelty distinct voice.
The naughty woman lost herself in
the crowd with neatness and dispatch.
