HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

McGrath, the shoe traveller, is great
admirer of the lamented Thomas JEFF
ferson, and last evening in the Tenn
pleton he told another story of the
simplicity of Thomas which may be
added to the already rather lengthy
list.
According to Mac "Mr. Jefferson
started one day in the spring of the
year to go from Philadelphia to WASH
ington. There wasn't any sixty mile
an hour railroad train, and not even
coach would get over the breaking
roads and so the vice president started
horseback.
by evening he reached Baltlmore'
and decided to stay there overnight,
and so he pulled up in front of the
best tavern in the town and entered.
AS he did so, a gang of young loungers
in the corner nudged one another ana
the little fat landlord started ana
rubbed his eyes, for Jefferson was pc
spattered with mud from head TO loot,
had on a SLOUGH hat pulled down over
his eyes and greatly resembled rustic
farmer in town to sell his produce.
"'Have you got room for me-!
Jefferson asked gently.
"'For-for you-weH no, the mouse Is
full replied the landlord.
VERY we'll said Thomas and
walked slowly out Then going up the
street he found rooms in a place called
the Globe tavern.
I'm a moment a man rushed into the
first inn and yelled, DO you know
who you just turned out? That was
the vice-president of the United States,
and the greatest man on earth. Inc
landlord was Mortified and sent mes
senger to Thomas offering him the
best apartments in the house, but the
reply was, Tell the gentleman that L
greatly appreciate his kind offer, but
/ have very nice rooms at this house,
and if he had no room for the muddy
farmer, he has none for the Vlce-presl-
dent Good day."
