NOT USED TO HOTEL WAYS
A Young Woman After Registering Gives
the Clerks Surprise.

A Young Woman After Registering Gives
the Clerks Surprise.
She drifted into an uptown hotel by
way of the women's entrance. She was
plainly but neatly clad and did not
look like girl who was used to the
system in operation at big hotel. She
had bright, pretty face and looked
fresh and charming. The two clerks on
duty eyed her curiously and exchanged
comments about the girl. She hesitated
moment when she reached the Office,
but after some little display of embar-
rassment walked up to the desk and
picked up pen in diffident manner.
The clerk wheeled the book around sc
that the place for signatures was in the
proper position and waited. She chewed
nervously at the end of the pen, then
dipped it slowly in the ink, and with a
great deal of pains wrote:
Miss Mary McClosky, 372 West
Ninety third street. -
Then she eyed her effort approvingly
and carefully laid the pen down. The
clerk, who had been watching the oper-
alton with good deal of curiosity, said
Room, miss?"
A flush mantled her face, but she
said sweetly, eyes, if you please"
Would you like room with bath?"
asked the clerk in puzzled tone
Again she seemed embarrassed and hest
tated, but finally said in low tone:
Yes, if you please. That would be
very nice and Iwould thank you very
much. y
"How much do you care to pay for a
room?" said the clerk as his eye swept
the rack.
"Pay?" she said in sheer surprise.
"Pay? Why, didn't expect to pay any
thing. got a job here today as cham
bermaid and have just come down. -

SHE WAS WRONG.
The Original PoeIn Wasn't by Cowper q,
8 All, but by Some One Else.

Xne Or,glnai Poem Wasn't by Cowper at
/ All, but by Some One Else.
There is woman's literary club on
the South Side which lis having the
hardest imaginable time to keep togeth-
er. Unlike most similar organizations,
It IS not from want of money that this
association of fair students is constant
~ threatened with disbandment. A
i spirit of discomfort and rivalry stalks
through the meetings.
The original purpose of the club was
q thorough criticism of the works of
| Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton.
Spenser and Sir Edwin Arnold. But.
| although this laudable intention was
adhered to for several months, after
| awhile some OF them got to writing es-
says and other papers to be read before
the society. The book trade may not
have noticed it, but at that time there
was considerable run on concordances,
glossaries. books of synonyms and liter
airy dictionaries. Ever since then things
have gone from bad to worse It seems
| impossible to maintain harmony
The vice president of the organiza-
ton, charming young lady, whether
considered mentally or from her photo
graph, recently wrote rather extend
ed poem in very lofty strain. She read
it to the club. Amid the general ap-
plause which followed there came from
several remote corners of the room
something like murmurs. A couple of
her auditors were heard to say that she
had never written anything like that
before; that they didn't believe any
one in the club was capable of it; that,
in fact, several passages sounded
strangely familiar.
Finally one member with glasses and
a very penetrating expression, address
ing the author of the poem, said:
Didn't you get some of that from
Cowper? I'm sure you did. -
Il did nothing of the kind, - retorted
the vice president, flushing at the &C.
cusation.
Oh, but remember almost the ex-
act lines!'' persisted her accuser
How dare you say soP' returned the
poet hotly.
"But we'll get the book and look,
persisted the other.
You're mean, mean thing" said
the vice president, bursting into tears
II didn't get this from Cowper at ALL
And now that you're so smart I'll not
tell you where did get it. &C Chicago

The METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almos impossible, and under
such q strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea OF sexual weakness
until it was a question whether he had not
better take dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of combination
OF medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and
he now declares that any man who will take
the trouble TO send his name and address may
have the method of this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when say free mean absolutely
without cost, because want every weakened
man 10 get the benefit of my experience
am not philantnropist, nor do 1 pose as
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men
suffering the mental fortunes OF weakened
manhood who would be cured at once could
they but get such a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how can
afford to pay the few postage-stamps necessary
to mail the information, but send for it ana

Three Fire Alarms.

The General Keyes building, Stockton street,
between O. Farrell and Ellis, was damaged by
fire to the extent of $1,000 last evening The
blaze broke out in the engine-room, which is
located in the basement.
An alarm was sounded through box 43 at
HIS P NJ. The Maison Tortoni, lib O'Farrell
street, was damaged to the extent OF 800, by
smoke and water. Charles Krueckels saloon,
l 90 O'Farreli street, also suffered slight dam
age from the same causes.
The exact cause of the blaze is not known,
but 1t is presumed that the woodwork sur
rounding the boilers became overheated and
ignited.
An alarm was sounded from box 8 at 1920
O'Clock last evening fer blaze on the roof of
a two-siory frame building owned by Henry
Martin, corner of Powell aud Union streets.
The fire, which caused by defective
electric wire, damaged the building to the ex-
tent OF $3.50.

ton peculiar to an earlier generation :.
Those boys who are the most musical will,
perhaps, invest their savings IL bicycle

sequence of 3 Wagnerlan trilogy or the
adagio of Beethoven symphony. SINH
larry the various connecting companies
will gauge the taste of their employees and

The superintendent may be conceived
saying to the orchestra leaders for ex-
ample: Pm sending out O. Hara. Start
up The Shamrock So Green please" Or
if the Hibernian youth is of a somewhat
frivolous disposition it might be we'll to
substitute "Arrah, Go On!' for the more
classical melody. The system, in fact, is
capable of Infinite expansion. A decade
hence, therefore. one may expect to see in
the daily papers advertisements worded
like the following: Wanted-Cultured
