as bus load of travelling statesmen arrived
from the station. They hustled up to the
desk In their usual businesslike and breezy
manner and one after the other signed the
register. One and all shook hands with the
hotel clerk, a quaint, fatherly old fellow,
who had been there a good many years,
and one of the knights of the road said:
well Uncle Dave. it's good thing
you're not dead yet. don't think the house
could run without you
E" oh. yes 1t could said the old clerk you
fellows would come In here, and if there
