fss Paid for the Use of n Bathtub and q
Bokhara Rug.
The comedian, Frank Daniels, was a
! Boston boy and recently played an en-
gagement in his native city. As his
manager, Frank Murray, was starting
| for Boston about week prior to Daniels
opening there, he asked the comedian at
what hotel he intended to stop during
| the week
81 believe I'll go to the Barker House"
said Daniels. For years l used to pass
that hotel many times daily, but though
l have lived in every hotel in Boston,
strange to say l have never yet tried the
Barker. l wish you would drop in there
| and ask them to reserve a nice apart
| ment for me-" On reaching Boston
Murray attended to the matter and few
days later Daniels was duly installed
like your rooms?" asked Murray the next
day. They couldn't be improved upon"
sail Daniels. Il tell you the Barker
House is the place; you can't beat it."
That afternoon Daniels stepped up to
the hotel desk for his key. The clerk
inquired politely: How are your quar-
tiers, Mr.. Daniels? Everything satisfac-
| tory, l hope" Very NICE" replied
| Daniels; las Bostonian am proud to
know that the Hub is fully abreast of
| the times in the matter of hotels, as well
as in other respects. By the way, what
are you charging for my apartment
''Ten dollars per day." replied the clerk
blandly. Ten dollars per dayw ex-
claimed Daniels. isn't that pretty
steep?" Not at ALL" answered the
clerk; lust look how those rooms are
furnished. There's nothing finer in the
Vanderbilt mansions. Why, that bath
tub is solid porcelain and cost $500; the
Bokhara rug beside your bed cost $225,
and the entire furnishings are on SINH
lar scale. We couldn't have spent more
money on the rooms if we had tried"
well, I'm glad you didn't try" re-
| marked Daniels as he departed with his
key. The next morning Frank Murray,
| having some business with his star, in
quired for him at the desk, and was in
formed that Daniels was still in his
rooms.
He got the number and went up un-
| announced. Rapping on the door, he
received no answer; he raped again,
but still no reply. Turning the knob,
he found the door unlocked and walked
in, expecting to find Daniels still in bed.
To his surprise the rooms were appar-
| emily deserted. He was about to retire
when, happening to glance into the
bathroom, to his establishment he saw
the comedian sound asleep in the porce-
lain bathtub, carefully covered with the
Bokhara rug. His explanation of sur
prise awoke Daniels, who sat up and
| gazed sleepily at the intruder Great
! Scott! Frank" shouted Murray, "what
in thunder are you doing in that bath
tub? What's the matter with the bed?"
WELL" replied the comedian, '.they are
charging me ten dollars a day for this
porcelain bathtub and Bokhara rug, and
this is the only way know to get even. I"

the store unguarded, went back into
the Office and finding the safe open,
ed broke the money drawer therein,
and relieved it of the paper money
it contained. There was about $40
in silrer in the safe at the time, but
this the robber did not touch.
After taking the money the robber
closed the safe, went upstairs, and
