The man with the car trumpet came
to town last night He and the clerk.
VINO lad evidently missed his might
off," had an amusing nlix-up at the hotel
counter when the act of registering was
next ON the programme.
I'm looking for a friend, is ne here
at your hotel,'' asked the man with the
bad list eners.

I don't know who your friend is" re-
joined the man at the counter. Possibly
if you will tell mo his name I might help
you to locate him if he is here"
Ellis residenee?" All right his home
is at Buffalo," said the man hunter with
the patent vestibule to his ears.
Ellis name surely can't be Buffalo, -
said the clerk; ST asked you for his
name"

could not hear well, the man with the
trumpet bent over the counter, getting
very close to the auditory department of
the poor clerk, wncse patience had been
tried to their limit. He lifted his voice
and then gave Humorous yell.
He is from Buffalo, can you hear
that?''
This was too much for the clerk He
gave up his attempt in disgust at making
the fellow understand. There was but
one name on the register after which
the word Buffalo appeared but that was
the name Of lady. However, without
asking the man any further questions or
submitting the register for his Cwn eX-
animation, the clerk called a coiored pell
hoy and gave him orders to take the man
to a certain room. 1t was that of the
lady guest from Buffalo.
The bell boy left his deluded ward

and disappeared, out of sight, but not
out Of hearing distance
Here was another mixup, far worse
than the first one with the clerk. The
lady could not understand why strange
man would be brought to her room at
that hour of the night, and, to tell the
truth, the man was not much better post
ed on the situation than the woman
After trying in vain to expel him from
her room by assuring him that his pres
euce was not wanted, and that he was
mistaken in the party, the woman, half
scared and the other half enraged, rush
ed out the door, shrieking in the trumpet
of the intruder as she Went:
You just wait here TIL I get back"
"AIl right, 1 will be here was the
| calm reply.
In about five minutes in walked the
woman, by this time nearly frustrated
with fright and anger and with her was
the clerk. 1t looked fer q time as If
the deaf arrival would meet with ser
Gus trouble, as the woman insisted taat
he should be forcibly elected from Ter
apartments
| The matter was finally adjusted b
means of the ear trumpet, however and
| it developed that the deaf arr mad
come to stop at the hotel but before
registering wanted to find out if GER
