Surprised the Guests and Himself.
A countryman caused quite q panic
at one Of the big Chicago hotels last
week by ringing nearly all the call
bells. He was o broad, heavy fellow
and had struck up such o friendship
with the night clerk that he used to
wander in behind the counter and sit
down. The other night he was tired
and fell heavily upon o shor stool N
front of the great electric annunciator.
His bread back rested comfortably
against the buttons connecting with
the bells in the rooms, and in about
five minutes there was o pandemonium
upstairs. The guests were panic
stricken. The. halls soon filled
with men and women in all kinds OF
deshabille. OF course there was y
rush for the Office. The clerk opened
his eyes and. grabbed his gun az every
One fired questions at him at once. He
looked around and saw the old achump"
sitting on the stool, with an innocent
smile stretching across his sum bronzed
face. The clerk pulled him up tho
collar and told him what he had been
doing.
swell, I'll be COLL darned! I'm sorry
! disturbed the coed peop.e, but who'd
ha' believed that that darned- board
could make all that noise when II only
had q mans back leanin' against It..
A Queer English Custom.
The Duke Of Edinburgh, or rathor
the Duke of Saxe-C oburg and GOtha, to
call himsby his highest title, will Re
literally turned out Of house and home
within q few days, having received no
tice to vacate Clarence House within
a reasonable period" This is in ac-
cordance with the established custom
which prescribes that any member OF
the royal family who becomes a reign
ing sovereign must cease to occupy any
house or apartments belonging to the
British crown after o reasonable time.
This regulation was made TO avoid q
repetition of the trouble with the
King OF Hanover, who positively re-
fused to get out when requested and
had almost to be evicted like an Irish
farmer.
The Tragedy of Life In New York.
Could anything be more pathetic
than the story of ll-year-old Sanford
Parker rushing out OF the miserable
Brooklyn tenement house the other
Gay to earn a few pennies wherewith
to buy food for his starving mother,
rendered helpless by dropsy? Poor
boy! He could earn no pennies, and in
desperation stole the brass handle of a
trolley motor, hoping to sell it to d
iunkman, and thus procure money tt
buy food. But he was nabbed by" pc
liceman, and locked up in a station
house. Meanwhile the poor mother
died of starvation. Is there any worse
dcstitution than this in the most
wretched of London's slums?
