One Way to Save Postage stamp.


Chicago Daily News.
''Fll wager $5 that can address letter
and have it stamped and mailed for me with
out touching it after write the address, or
without speaking to anybody" remarked a
commercial man at the Grand Pacific, address
ing traveller friend
"Can't play any of your tricks on me,' re-.
sponded the companion.
"No tricks. l want to teach you point
about hotel life. Watch me.n
Bigelow hurried up to the counter, seized
hotel envelope, and addressed it, in bold,
symmetrical hand, to friend in st. Louis
Then he suddenly left the counter, leaving
the envelope ready to be mailed near the
register.
Soon along came Clerk sheafer. He eyed
the missive, sized up the penmanship, said
something about the guest trying to play the
house for postage stamp, placed one of those
necessary little pastors upon the envelope and
mailed it.
"See," said Mr.. Bigelow 81 told you the
gag would work in large hotel. That is
an old trick played by great many chair
warmers. The clerks find the unstamped
envelopes and, fearing that guest has for
gotten to mail an important letter, they send
it. That is one way of saving postage, but let
us hope 1t will not spread"
