INTERNAL MACHINE
CLERK THOUGHT
And Big Scare Was Created at Hote,
Until False Teeth
Were Seen.

A night clerk at one OF the hotels
had the scare Of his life Friday
night He found small box on
the counter and happened to place
his hand on it. There was copsid.
cradle heat coming from the boxx,
a fact that was mysterious to him,
andd, as the box looked somewhat
suspicious, he became excited, con-
cluding at once that it was an in
fernal machine placed there by a
Black Hand man.
Under this impression he eau
tiously tied a string to the package
and carefully dragged It into a rear
hallway, all the time taking care
not to get within harmful distance
of it. After thus disposing OF the
supposed deadly missile, he whisper
ed the word around. creating a state
Of uneasiness, until a well known
dentist appeared upon the scene
and asked for the box he had placed
on the clerks counter. He inform
ed the clerk that the box contained
a new pair of false teeth. Then ii
dawned on the night clerk that II
was not an Internal machine at all.
The box was restored to the dentist
who satisfied the bunch tat there
was nothing dangerous IN it and
an again became serene at the ho-
tel.
