Individual presented the appearance of
q slightly built, dark complexioned
man, beardless and with abrupt man

THE HOTEL CHECK PROBLEM.
Question of whether to Offend Guests
or Risk Losing Money.

The hotel clerk was standing behind
the desk with a disconsolate look on
his face.
whats the matter" asked a friend.
Matter" said the clerk. "Why, it's
the same old story. I've been stuck
for another check. This check bust
ness causes us hotel clerks more
trouble than anything else in the world.
There is a general rule in hotels that
no checks shall be cashed, but very Of
ten travellers run short o. money. 1t is
good business policy to cash these
checks when you can be sure that
they're all right. No hotel can afford
to be continually offending guests. At
the same time. If clerk cashes a bad
check he has to stand the loss.
1.-THE average hotel clerk has learned
by bitter experience to be a pretty
good judge of human nature, but every
now and then he slips up. Only a
week ago a big, splendid-looking fell
low came to me and got me to cash a
check for $50. l sized him up and de-
cided that he was all right, and that
he was a good man to keep among the
steady patrons of the hotel. A few
days later back came the check with
No funds marked across it. The re-
suit was that was out 500"
While the clerk was talking a swag
Ser-looking woman came up to the
desk. and smiling sweetly at the clerk,
said:
"will you please cash this little
check?"
The clerk was all graciousness. He
took the check and examined 1t care
fully without saying anything
