Their HONEYMOON.

THE funniest experience ever had" said
Col. L. A Leonard OF Cincinnati TO a New York
Morning Journal man, was during a visit
recently made to NV York in company with
my sister. We went to the Grand Union hotel,
and asked the clerk to give us a couple of ad-
joining rooms.
II understood the clerk to say that we were
assigned to rooms 80 and l0i We were con
Quoted to the rooms, and ] was shown to 90.
Shortly afterward my sister In ormed me that
she could not succeed In getting any one to
answer the bell, and requested me TO ring mine
ana order pitcher OF ice water for her, lrang
and requested the boy who responded to take a
pitcher OF ice water to room 10l. Before going
down stairs, few minutes later, | asked my
sister If she received the ice water and was in
formed that she had not rang again and told
the second boy TO take pitcher of ice water to
room 101. went below and soon return sd and
was surprised to learn that no ice water had
been delivered in my sisters room.
BY that tins was interested, and told my
sister that would see that she got some ice
water II had TO go after il myself. So rang
once more and told the bell boy that pitcher
Of Ice water must be taken to room l0l right
away, and he said that he would surely attend
to it.
After waiting some time made inquiry of
my sister again, and she said that no ice water
bad come, and begged me not to bother myself
about 1t, as il seemed 10 be a hopeless task.
But replied that water was cheap, and she
should have some sure. l went 70 the person in
charge of our corridor and preferred request
that a pitcher of ice water be sent to room lOi
received promise that IL should be attended
to instanter. But it wasn't.
My next attempt was to prevail upon the ele
vator boy to take pitcher of ice water to room
lOl. He declared that he would do so on the
next trip
He failed. In despair went to the Office of
the hotel and asked the clerk If it were possible
TO have pitcher OF ice-water sent to room No.
10l.
Certainly was the answer; that can be
done without any trouble.
1 have been trying to get it done ever since
| came here, and haven't made the rifle yet,
said, and II it is possible thing would like
to have it DONE
Later stepped into the elevator, and the
boy there asked me IL were going up to the
101 floor.
Yes I responded. 'WhyT
A hundred and one will throw you out of
the window IL he catches you, said the boy.
What are you talking about?' asked
why, there is a bride and groom In lO1 and
you have been firing ice water in their room all
evening, and the man is wild. He swears he
will murder you.
Upon investigation found that my sister s
room was not 101 at all, but was 81. MY room
was SO, and as my sisters room was next TO it
thought it was 101. There | had sent ABOUT
ten pitchers OF Ice water TO 10l, and didn't
know IL.
II had left call in the Office for 90 and 1O1
Tor o'clock the next morning when | was
going downstairs last. and never thought to
have 1t changed. So at 4 O'Clock the bride and
groom were awakened by laundering knock
at the door, which made them furious and they
were firmly persuaded that the early call was
a part OF the ice water f1ends scheme to annoy
them.
II escaped with my life and was glad of it,
