The sheriff rather enjoyed holding

quietly to the unfamiliar phraseology.

the door, pipe In mouth. Pickering
turned toward him frowning, but Larry
paid not the slightest attention to the

maids Kick on Practice.

New York.-It is wasteful, Ill bred,
disgusting, and a sure sign of tight
wad" for woman of wealth to wash
her silk hosiery and lingerie in her
bathtub, according to the manage
ment of the Hotel Gotham.
Therefore the management of the
hotel is debating whether to give it's
millionaire patronesses gentle tip In
the shape of petition against such
"unladylike" practices.
When a reporter called at the fash
ionable hotel he was told that for
some weeks wealthy feminine guests
had been cheating the hotel laundry
out of It's dues by turning laundresses
and scrubbing their own lingerie In
their private bathtubs.
No names were mentioned-ol
course not The management did not
deign or dare to expose the women
who have the clothes cleaning idea. A
petition requesting them to patronizt
the hotel laundry, and by so doing cut
down exorbitant plumbers bills FOL
digging lint out of stopped up bath
tub pipes, will be sufficient, 1t Is said.
A representative of the management
said that the soap which the hotel pro
vided for its guests costs three dollar
a cake. II Is toilet soap, to be uset
for removing dust from faces AM
hands, not from soiled pieces of fem
mime attire.
