NEW RULES FOR
b0AROERS At
CITY JAIL

Jailer BILL Smith is wearing 9
worried expression Of late. Bill il
in trouble and that's only too plain
The rest of the policemen look up
on him in sympathy and occasional
ly ask him if his corns hurt, but
he gets rid of them by remarking
that "he's troubles of his own-go
tell yourn t tn cops"
The fact of the matter is Bills
guests-hotel guests--are sore and
kicking over the traces, figuratNely
speaking They don't like the way
the jail Is run and are all the time
giving Bill advice about the proper
management of an hotel such as
his. That's what hurts every time
deserving criticism-and it hurts
Bill. Consequently he has laid
down set of rules for his boarders
and the first one up for disobedi-
ence will get 100 years.
Here are the rules:
Guests are expected to leave
their valuables with the desk SER
geant.
Do not leave during the night
without permission. You can't, any
way; so don't try it.
There is no extra charge for
berths. Don't fight for the lower
ones or you'll be elected from the
hotel-into the tank.
The management deplores the
use of violence and stands against
the previous rule to throw the
other fellow out If he won't let
you into the lower berth.
Cursing the management to it's
face won't be tolerated. If you
don't like the treatment accorded
you, call a meeting of the grand
jury-and they won't do anything.
Please report any incivility on
the part of employees.
Bills must be paid on departure.
The house escorts it's guests to the
desk.
If you like the way this house
is run tell your friends. If you
don't, tell it to the gang so they'll
stay away.
Guests without baggage can't get
any tobacco unless someone goes
good for them.
We do not solicit the patronage
of guests with the "jimmies."
