sabre, or pointing IL defiantly at the gen

len went over TO New YORK

on Saturday noon and was taken to the
Waldorf-Astoria. The clerk assigned him
to room. and on going TO it he found
that IL was great suite of three magnm-
cent apartments, furnished with every
ina inable luXury-one mass of gilt ana
dainty coloring. and with punches OF
American Beauty roses standing around
on costly tables Presently MIR. Allen be-

dor, and saw various visions of large bills
to be paid for brief sOjourn amid such
princely surroundings. He rang for a bell
boy and gave him half dollar to quietly
ascertain what was The customary rate
for that suite per diem and in due time
was informed that The price was SIS day.
Private Allen thought that was altogether
too much for him TO pay. and put his
brain to work to gel gracefully out of the
scrape. After sending his grip downstairs
he strolled over to the telegraph office
and wrote himself a message from dear
friend uptown. who insisted that he come
up and STAY with his boyhood chum He
then put on mournful face and sought
The clerk. to whom he read the telegram.

clerk. But l am sorry you cannot re-
main with us" "Oh. l would like to-"
said Mr. Allen, "but it would never do to
disappoint an old friend BY the way"

amount of nv bill?' Why Nothing a
all. Congressman" said the clerk you
were to have been the guest of the Bank
ers Association at this hotel, you know,
and your suite was settled for in ad-
vance" Il is easy TO imagine that the
Hon. John Allen went forth and hunted
up a cheaper hotel, and paid for it him
