Rooms Named for states.

"In little town in the backwoods Of
Mississippi" remarked travelling
man, there is a peculiar hotel. 1t Is
just like any other hotel except in the
way the rooms are named. They are
not numbered, as is generally done, but
each room is named for State Of the
United States. When 1 stopped at the
place I was assigned to a room called
Delaware 1t was correctly named,
too, for 1t was one of the smallest
rooms in the house. The man who was
occupying New Hampshire made COM
plant to the landlord that the man in
Maine was drunk and boisterous and
thus keeping him awake. This seemed
strange when we recall that Maine is
a prohibition State. Two men up in
Montana were keeping up the repu-
tation Of the wild West by engaging in
niosy poker game. A big, fat capt.
talist had New York. which was the
best room in the house. The room
named for Alabama is too ordinary for
anything, and farmer was occupying
it the night was there. 1t was funny
to stand in the Office and hear a bell
boy tell the clerk that towels were
wanted in Iowa and that the fellow
in North Dakota was kicking like
steer because he had no fire. BE sure
to call the man in Florida" at 5
o'clock in the morning. said one Of the
employees. And thus 1t went. This
hotel Is curiosity to the travelling
public. 1t is conducted by an eccentric
old fellow. but where he conceived the
idea Of naming rooms after States do
not w."-Blrmingham Age Herald.

FaIIncy About Jewellers.

jewelers., when watches are with
them for repairs, are frequently insult
ed with the remak:
II trust there is no danger Of crys-
tails being substituted for the jewels In
the works Of my watch"
For great many persons think there
are dishonest jewelers. who make a
practice, with full l-jeweled' watches,
of substituting crystals for the jewels
at an enormous profit.
AS a matter Of fact, there Is no truth
in this suspicion. A jeweler, no matter
how dishonest, could not steal the jew
els in a watch, for they are valueless ;
they only cost 10 cents apiece.
In antique watches the jewels were
often costly. In modern watches they
are never worth more than SIS gross.

Planting Corn in Panama.

ANYONE who is willing to work can
get rich in the Republic of Panama."
said Dlllwynn NJ. Hazlett to a Kansas
City Journal writer. 1T costs 10 cents
bunch to raise bananas and there Is
always sale for them at 80 cents a
bunch. Three crops of corn can be
raised a year and no cultivation is re-
quired. A man walks along and drops
the corn in the footprints he makes
and a native follows and covers the
corn with his big toe. That is all there
is to do until 1t Is time to gather it"
