MISTAKE IN sTENoGRAPHERs.
The Rural Gentleman Dictated His
Correspondence to the Wrong Girl.


The clerks OF the Brown Palace are still
laughing over little incident that oc-
Cured in the hotel during the N. E. A. con-
vention The story has never been told in
print yet. A gentleman from one OF the rural
districts In Illinois incidentally heard that
there was corps of typewriters In the
hotel for the free use of the delegates. There
were several sienographers and typewriters
in the headquarters, and a sign near the
door announced that they were free to the
delegates. The hero of this incident
thought that this would be the time and
place TO catch up on his correspondence, and
fastening from his room to the office, he
discovered the hotel stenOgrapher with be-
typewriter located near the clerks desk.

"Yes, sir,' replied the clerk, and the
gentleman was soon beside the young lady.
May l dictate some letters to you?" he
inquired OF the young lady.
Certainly" she replied, and he went at
1t. He dictated several business letters,
then he talked out letters to his brother
inIaw. his sister-in-law, his mother, his
three cousins. an uncle, an old college
friend. his mOther-in-law, and the pastor
OF his church at home. IL took from 2
O'Clock in the afternoon until after 4, but
finally he had written 10 all he could think
of and quit for lack of correspondents to
whom he could send his thoughts and vivid
descriptions about Colorado and the con-
vention.
'Shall l leave the letters with the
clerk" asked the stenographer as she pre-
pared for work.
YES, thank you," replied the gentleman,
and went Off about his business, well
satisfied with his afternoons work.
The next act of the play was when the
gentleman was leaving the hotel and asked
for his bill. One of the first items that
caught his eye was: ITO stenographer.
