Saved by an Elk,

y curious story of adventure comes
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over ut IL small mountain sta
ton the engineer borrowed shotgun
and started out for Il hunt Hc was
about returning to his train when COW
made her appearance Before he realized
that there was amy danger the animal
made Il rush ut linn, and he ran with all
his speed But the cow was better
racer, and in few minutes caught him
by his clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air. Getting to his feet as l.ckly rs
possible, he lodged behind tr,e, and
then to his disnlay found that TIN ;ta
barrel was bent so as to be useless.
The next ten minutes were very Ii a-
ly ones. Tho COW chased the engine,
round and round the trco, and when he
got chance TO hit her with tho gun
barrel it only seemed to cnrago her the
moro. 1t was only question of time
when he would succumb to fatigue, but
diversion occurred that saved his life.
An aigiJ snort was heard, and big
elk appeared upon the scene, head down
and prepared for fight. The COW was
SO mad by this time that she was ready
for anything, and in another moment
the two animals dashed at each other.
The engineer watched the combat for a
few minutes until prudence suggested
that he shCald make Il retreat whilc he
could. He rcgained the train i'll safety
and never knew the outcome of the bat
tie, but the presumption is that the elk
was the victor. Exchange.

HOTEL READING ROOMS.
Their Principal Patrons In New York Peo-
pie Not Guests mt tho Hotel.

pie Not Guests mt tho Hotel.
III one respect ut least New York diff
fcrs from all other American cities, and
that is i'll regard to the importance of
the reading rooms of its hotels There
arc i'll New York 229 hotels, exclusive
of apartment houses with restaurant at
tachments. Every hotel in New York
or elsewhere-every genuine hotel, that
1s-has a reading room, and i'll it are to
be seen gathered the most important &c
cessories of hotel-the newsstand, the
telegraph Office, tho telephone office
and the railroad and steamboat ticket
office In country hotel the reading
room is the seat of great activity, and
it seems to be the bounden duty of the
transient male patrons of the hotel, as
well as the regular male boarders, to be
in the reading room as long q time as
possible between meals, and usually u
late conner is obliged to wait his turn
for seat at one of the writing desks or
tables or for chance to read one of the
newspapers which are, kept on file.
According to the observations of all
hotel men throughout tho country, the
smaller the town the more important
the hotel reading room; the larger the
town tho less important the hotel read
ing room. 1t is apparently in corrobora-
ton of this rule that the reading rooms
of most New York hotels, though fur
nishcd i'll attractive style and we'll cal
culated to serve the convenience of
guests, are usually deserted, or if not
deserted arc patronized chiefly by per-
sons not guests of the hotel. In other
words, men not stopping at tho hotel,
but meeting friends in its main corridor
utilize the convcniences of the reading
room. Added to these arc few of the
transient guests, who for the most part
como to New York Oh business or pleas
urc from great distances, and especially
from interior towns. Boston men, Phil
adelphia men, Baltimore men and Buff
falo mon are not great patrons of the
reading rooms of Now York hotels, but
transient guests from the small towns
of the country are, and some of them sit
for hours at timo coming the back
numbers of newspapers or writing me-
chanically and then nervously destroy
ing letters to friends and relations.
The paradoxical thing about hotel
reading rooms in New York is that
though ostensibly maintained for the
use and convenience of tho hotel guests
they are at tho service in nearly every
case of persons who are not only not
guests of tho hotel but who, further
more, are resident New Workers. Nearly
every hotel i'll tho city has Il large num-
Der of patrons who arc known as "regu-
lars, " who stay for several months ut q
time, and who arc seen very little i'll
the hotel corridors or i'll the reading
room. Occasionally il patron of New
York hotel, perhaps one Of it's Oldest
guests, will find it necessary to write n
letter or to consult newspaper file,
and when he does he is usually compelled
to wait until an outside person not q
guest is ready to take his departure. =
