SERMONS FROM DICKENS.

Let there be union among us.
Ride on over all obstacles and win the
race.
Energy and determination have done
wonders many time.
Philosophers are only men in armor
after all.
There is providence in everything;
everything works for the best.
In journeys, as in life. it is a great
deal easier to 60 down hill than up.
You must expect to go out, some
day, like the snuff of candle; a man
can die but once.

LOOKING FOR KICKS.
Detective Employed by Hotel to Find out
the Guests Wants.

A detective was formerly paid a
good salary by the keeper of a big
hhotel in Hot Springs, Ark, simply
to lounge in the lobby and listen to
the complaints and criticism Of guests.
There is always a feeling OF friendli-
ness and comradeship between guests
at hotel, and this detective made
it his business to become acquainted
with all the visitors. They thought he
was a fellow guest. The detective
would lead the conversation to the
merits or dement's Of the hotel. and
If a man complained of the service
or his accommodations the complaint
was promptly reported to the landlord.
For instance. if a guest complained
that he liked to sleep late in the morn
Ing and he could not do it because
he had room with an east exposure,
so that The sun came in and awaken
ed him. In little while the landlord
would say to the guest:
81 was thinking this morning about
you in that east room. 10 you ike
80 sleep late IN the 'morningT
The guest would say that he did.
Well" the Landlord Wsuld say, "T
was thinking that you did. and IN
mat case the sun must disturb you. l
viii give you better room on tho
north side OF the house."
That made the gue> friend OF the
house for life. A man never forgetS
a landlord who takes an interest IL
him.
This detective found out what par
ticular dishes the guests enjoyed and
all their hobbies and notions and likes
and dislikes and the landlord acted
on this information. 1t paid so we'll
that the house was full all the time
and the landlords salary was raised
His praises were sung so widely and
his fame as successful landlord
spread so that a big hotel in Mime
apolis hired him at an enormous sal
airy. The detective who did this work
was known to the attaches of the hotel
as the kick hunter. Kansas City
Star.
