our fellow-citizens in the west appreciate
it. | was in the Office of my hotel, near the
counter, when a new arrival wrote his name
and town and said he wanted front room
with a private bath. My business keeps me
on the alert for people who live beyond the
MISSISSIPPI, and as soon as | could do so
with propriety | looked at the register and
saw that the new arrival was from Helena,
Mont. Then | made my advances by ask
ing him how business was in the west. At
that he fiared and asked:
How do you know where | am from
what makes you think l am from the west 2
Il explained that had looked at the reg
ister,. and in order to appease any suspicion
on his part that I had a gold brick TO dis
pose of l handed him my card and apollo
