Most of the Hotel Typewriter's Custom
ers Are Plain. Matter-of-Fact Men.
Typewriter at a HOTEL have read a
number of paragraphs in the newspa-
pers about how various people act when
them come in and try to dictate letter
for the typewriter 1t may be that
when the business was new there were
more instances and some that were more
funny. But have had no such expert
ences as are attributed to my profession
by the press. The only funny one ever
had was that presented by an honest old
man who, after watching me for some
time, came up and in good sort of way
asked me to explain the machine, which
did.
you mean to say" he asked, that
you can write letter on that thing for
any body?"
/ said yes.
''Thenyou may write one to Saman-
thy. want to let her know that am
we'll. and that am coming home next
week, and that have got along fust-
rate in what l came for"
l put all this together in readable
shape and then read il TO him. He said
it was all right and signed his name to
it and dropped it in letter-box for
him. The next morning he came to me
somewhat excited and said:
Say, miss, you remember that letter
you writ for me yesterday to Samanthy?"
said yes.
Well" he continued, 81 want you TO
write another one to her telling her how
you done it and how l signed it. You
see, when she gifts that letter that is
printed jest like the newspaper ard then
sees my scrawl at the bottom of it she'll
know there's somethin' wrong. She's
mighty suspicious emmy way, and If you
can fix it up 50 as to let me out of it I'll
be ever so much obleeged to you"
To satisfy him did as he asked. He
took the letter and | have never seen
him since. But have found all nv
other customers TO be plain, matter-of-
fact men. The novelty and romance of
the typewriter are wearing away, Chi

FARM AND GARDEN.
PRUNING SHEARS.


Implements That Every Farmer should
Possess.
A good pair of pruning shears which
will operate with readiness and ease is
an important tool to the gardener who
keeps trees and shrubbery within
proper bounds, but badly constructed
they are not so convenient and useful
as the single-bladed knife. We have
seen those that were of very little
value, requiring hard pressure of the
hand to cut off a small twig; and again
we have had the satisfaction TO work
with those which with little effort
sheared off green limb over an inch in
diameter. All the difference existed in
the form or construction. When the
two blades of the shears meet square
together like common pair of scissors,
they will not prune off large shoot;
