Men Who Listen to
Other Peoples Troubles

1t IS doubtful If even the police
man, who appears to have been by
common consent selected as the one
particular victim to whom it is per-
missable to tell your troubles, is more
frequently compelled to listen to tale
of woe than the hotel clerk.
1t should be plainly apparent to the
most careless observer that the hotel
clerk has troubles of his own, and to
call upon him to furnish sympathy and
sage advice is to work him over time,
but he Is frequently the recipient OF
some personal confidence that for the
time being, at least, adds to his weight
Of anxiety and responsibility.
1t is not so hard to understand when
you stop to think of it, said Chief
Clerk w. @. Hayes, of the Windsor,
discussing this question. You see, in
the first place, the hotel clerk is handy,
and the first impulse Of some persons.
when in trouble, is to conf1de in some
body. People of that kind really seem
TO be relieved after they have talked
about what is worrying them to some
one else, and [ suppose they don't stop
TO think that it is a great effort some
times for a man to even make a bluff
at being interested in the personal af-
fairs of some one whom he only knows
by name. Then, too, the clerk at the
hotel seems to them like a friend be-
cause he has ministered to their wants
III other ways and they have found him
good-natured and obIiging.
And as far as actual troubles are
CONCERNED fellow can listen to them
and sympathize without feeling very
sorry for himself, but when some fell
low plants his elbows on the desk and
insists upon telling all his annoying
little experiences 1t becomes truly
wearisome. Yet We are constantly
compelled to hear how a hack driver
has overcharged one man or the bar
tender of some saloon down town has
tried to hold out change, or q clerk
IN one OF the stores has been impudent
or disobliging.
1 could go on Indefinitely and tell
you of tiresome condolences we arc
compelled to listen to, but, here and
there, We run across an amusing exper-
fence.

every conceivable subject, and 1 gener-

was little girl. He told me all about
1t and wanted my opinion as to whether
his marriage would be a happy one
Now what can you do in a case like
that? Well, got him to describe the
girl to me, which of course he did, from
his point Of view, and then I told him
l knew a girl like that must surely
make him a good wife.
I'VE had an old fellow here some time
ago who thought, as long as he was
away from home, he would Just have
his fling and go to the theater, but
was considerably worried for fear he
might come back and find himself lock-
ed out. l promised to have somebody
sit up for him and he went out

Story of Soprano.
Chief Clerk Harris, of the Ryan hotel
relates story Of the troubles of q
female guest who, as he tells it. is high
ly amusing.
The guest was a celebrated soprano
who had come to st. Paul to participate
IN concert and, as is customary with
all celebrities Of her profession and
her sex, demanded almost constant at
tention from the entire staff of en-
ployes throughout her stay at the hotel
which, however, was brief
On the evening Of the grand musical
event the guest returned to the hote
in high state of excitement, and soor
after her arrival started something

lief that the money had been stoler
and made no secret of her opinion, al.
though Mr.. Harris and the other at.
taches of the hotel tried to convince
her that she might have either lost OF
misplaced it. The earnest search
which involved nearly every employt
of the house, was finally centralized
in the woman's apartments, and every
piece of furniture had been searched
and emptied at least once.
Chairs, tables and sofas. and the
bed and bureau had been moved abou

worst of it. That was an easy one,
and without any wear and tear on my
feelings l could attend to his case by
telling him to see, a lawyer. In fact
business affairs very rarely bother a
hotel clerk much, but family troubles
are often confided to us and then we
have need for diplomacy.

the wrong man or If his brother In law
