HOTEL READING ROOMS.
fheis Principal Patrons In New York Peo-
pie Not Guests at the Hotel.

AhChN hAStp0A AZ NC" AVIA ECV~
pie Not Guests at the Hotel.
In one respect at least Aw York diff
fers from all other American cities, and
that is in regard to the Importance Of
the reading rooms of its hotels. There
are in New York 229 hotels, exclusive
Of apartment houses with restaurant at
tachments. Every hotel i'll New York
or elsewhere-eyery genuine hotel, that
is-has a reading room, and in it are to
be seen gathered the most important ac-
cessories Of a hotel-the newsstand, the
telegraph office, the telephone office
and the railroad and steamboat ticket
Office. In a countrs 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
we'll as the regular male boarders, to be
in the reading room as long a time as
possible between meals, and usually a
late conner is obliged to wait his turn
for a seat at one of the writing desks or
tables or for a chance to read one of the
newspapers which are kept on Ale.
According to the observations Of all
hotel men throughout the country, the
smaller the town the more important
the hotel reading room the larger the
town the 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
nished in attractive style and we'll cal
culated to serve the convenience of
guests, are usually deserted, or if not
deserted are p%atronized chiefly by per-
sons not guests of the hotel. In other
words, men not stopping at the hotel,
but meeting friends in its main corridor,
utilize the conveniences of the reading
room. Added to these are a few of the
transient guests, who for the most part
come to New York on business or pleas
uro from great distances, and especially
from interior towns. Boston men, Phil
adelphia men, Baltimore men and Buff
falo men are not great patrons Of the
reading rooms Of New York hotels, but
transient guests from the small towns
of the country are, and some of them cit
for hours at a time coming the back
numbers Of newspapers or writing me-
Chemically and then nervously destroy
ing letters to friends and relations.
The ~paradoxical thing about hotel
reading rooms il New yurk is that
though ostensibly Maintained for the
use and convenience Of the hotel guests
they are at the Service in nearly every
case Of persons who are not only not
guests of the hotel, but who, further
more, are resident New Workers. Nearly
every hotel in the city has a large num-
Der of patrons who are known as ''regu-
lars" who stay for several>months at a
time, and who are seen very little in
the hotel corridors or in the reading
room Occasionally a patron Of a New
York hotel, perhaps n of its Oldest
guests, will find it necessary to write a
letter or to consult a newspaper file,
and when he does he is usually compelled
to wait until an outside person not a
guest is ready to take his departure. -

The street car was crowded, and as it
turned a corner sharply a man who was
standing in the aisle made a grab at n
strap, but missed it and involuntarily
embraced a sharp faced young woman
standing near him.
"Oh, I beg your pardon" he said.
"Sir," she exclaimed, "you are a

A curious story Of adventure comes
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over at a small mountain sta
ton the engineer borrowed a shotgun
and started out for a hunt. He was
about returning to his train when a COW
made her appearance. Before he realized
that there was any danger the animal
made a rush at him, and he ran with all
his speed. But the COW was a better
racer, and in a few minutes caught him
by his clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air. Getting to his feet a. quickly as
possible, he lodged behind a tree, and
then to his dismay found that the gun
barrel was bent so as to be useless.
The next ten minutes were very live
ly ones. The COW chased the engineer
round and round the tree, and when he
got a chance to hit her with the gun
barrel it only seemed to enrage her the
more. 1t was only a question Of time
when he would succumb to fatigue, but
An angry snort was heard, and a big
elk appeared upon the scene, head down
and prepared for a 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 should make a retreat while he
could. He regained the train in safety
and never knew the outcome of the bat
tie, but the presumption is that the ell
was the victor. Exchange.

that thriving town by declaring ON high
medical authority that kissing, once the
object of much medical d%isrepute, is an
altogether wholesome and healthy exer-

it has of late been painted, and that, in
stead of being avoided as fraught with
