Anomalies O, Modern Hote, Life.

1t is one OF the anomalies of modern
hotel life that the more you pay the
less you expect in return. In the
huge caravansaries of the large
American cities, when a man pays
$50 week for room without board.
he never thinks of asking any
service of the employees without pay
ing literally for it; he Is charged
for fire, for light after midnight,
for the use of the telephone, for
sending out a message by an Office
boy. for taking lunch in his room,
for corkage on his own wines, and
must tip the walters. In countr5
hotel, where he pays Sc week with
board, he can have fire in his room
when he wants it, he can trust the
landlord to send letters and mes
sages, he can smoke all over the
house, he can borrow anything from
q gun to pair of trousers. he can
get the landlady to mend his torn
coat, he can call for breakfast at
o'clock in the morning and get it, he
can get the landlords boy to dig
bait for him, and he has to tip
nobody. New York Sun.
