a HOTEL INCIDENT.
The TrEyoler Who Was Mistaken Tor q
Dead Man

Dead Nan.
The N ost singular thing that ever
happened TO me at hotel" said the
travelling member of the club, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press, was
this: ] was stopping over night at
large hotel in Chicago, and retiring
late / left word To be called in the
morning. l intended getting up in time
for a late breakfast.
Il was awakened by knocking ut
the door OF the room next to mine,
mysterious whisperings and orders
given in suppressed voice. I lay
still, wondering what time it was, and
whether | should get up or not, when
there came loud racket against nv
door, and a sound of the transom NOV
ing I sat up-my bed being close by
the door-in time to see a small boy
backing in over the transom. Hanging
full length, he held by his hands and
then dropped to the floor. As he gained
his feet he turned toward the bed, and,
seeing me sitting up and looking at
him, he gave yell that made my blood
thrill.
open the door, commanded mans
voice on the outside.
"'He's alive yelled the boy,
sprawling on the floor in abject ter
ror.
Il thought everybody was crazy as
heard the noise outside, and, unlock
ing my door, 1 asked what was the mat
ter. The hall was full of chamber
maids, bell boys and porters, all of
whom took to their heels as soon as
they saw me, and ran as if possessed
with demons. ~
THE landlord and one of the clerks
came up to explain matters, which they
did quite smilingly. 1t was slight
mistake, that was all; they had mis-
taken my room for the one next door,
where a man had killed himself the
previous night. They had looked in at
his transom, and seen that he was dead,
but when the boy came up with step
ladder to climb in and unlock the door
they had helped him into my room by

Glass Eyes Worn Secretly.

New York optician, was relating
to party of friends the other day some
of the peculiar features of his trade.
''You would be surprised" he said, ''at
the large number of locomotive en-
gineers and firemen who have glass
eyes. OF course, an engineer could not
hold place on railroad an hour II
the fact that he had glass eye
was known to his superior officers.
Consequently men in that line of busi-
ness exercise the utmost secrecy with
regard to their infrmity. When they
come into my store to buy a new
glass eye or have some flaw in their old
one attended to they beg the privilege
of transacting their business in my
private office, and they usually slip in
and out of the store when no other
customer is around"
