cts a peculiar thing" said the
knowing clerk in 4 New York hotel
which, according to the Sun of that
city, is noted more for it's hospitality
than it Is for its inquisitivcncss into
the character of it's guests, Its a
peculiar thing the fondncSs that the
average man has for the letter II as an
initial. How l don't suppose that there
arc moro middle names begging with
Ill than with any other letter, II or II
OF ) or B, but nine men out Of ten, if
they are in doubt about 4 middle
initial, decide on ii. Now, my middle
initial is w, but for every letter get,

Its very seldom too, that you'll find
man with sufficient strength of char
actcr to leave out the middle mi: i'll of
the man he's writing to If he doesn't
know it, SO he claps il an II and let's it
go. There seems to be Il prevailing
superstition that 4 i:!cn isn't just What
he ought to be unless he has middle
name, ANA that the chances are very
strong that that name begins with the
eighth letter of the alphabet.
Now here's another instance. Cast
your eyes over this page Of our regis
ter. That is mostly late guests who
drop in here late at night. and sign
names other than their own. Sec the
result: Charles II. jones' John H.
Smith, George II. Robinson ~. H.

There are ten nGnc:i on that one page

NO. that letter isn't any easier to
write t:ea:; any other letter, it certainly
isn't ANY more ornamental, and l can't
sec that IN any respect it has an advan-
tagc over the rest Of the alphabet. Yet

fidelity worthy of n more important
cause. I'd like to have some wise man

Kept Her Pony.

A pony owned by the daughter of
the owner of circus was put up for
sale in an auction room in England.
All the horses of the circus were to be
sold. Among the bidders was the
daughter of the circus man. When the
little pony was led in the little girl
gave him piece Of sugar, and when
the bidding began this little girl also
offered price for the pony, but some
body was bidding against her and she
had to stop because she had no more
money. But over in the corner there
was man who had watched the little
girl and the pony, and he began bid
ding, and finally no one bid over him
and the pony was said to be his. He
took it by the bride and led it over to
the little girl and said: "This pony is
yours" Then everybody cheered and
the little girl took her pony home.
