effect, and finally noticed in some
paper where DIR. Kilmer proposed to
send sample bottle of his kidney
medicine, Swamp-R Root, free by mail.

sample bottle. After taking it found
it did me good. | then purchased two
bottles from our merchant, Mr.. w. J.

felt like new man, and each day rode
five miles to teach schools. You are at
liberty to use this letter, or refer any
one to me, as | will always be glad TO

bition to-day would be considered q
mark of egregiously bad taste. ~.
However, don't think for one mo-
ment that hotels do not suffer from the
lack Of proper appreciation on the part
of it's patrons of the law of mine and
thine. There is enough OF It prevalent
now to add good deal to the current
expenses in the course Of the year. It
is actually the case that even in the
highest-priced and best-managed es-
adjustments patrons have walked of
with everything in a room, even TO the
pillowcases"
They manage these things In a mora
peremptory manner in Europe. Two
American women tell OF an experience
in Switzerland. At one of the largest
hotels in Lucerne, as they were leav-
Ing after having paid an exorbitant
bill, an obsequious manager. said to
them farewell, and then a polite porter
stepped up and asked II they would
mind coming to the Office for moment
On reaching the Office they were told
that two towels were missing from
their room, and II would be necessary
to have their baggage opened.
They offered to pay. the offer was
politely refused and in the big hall
where the ''bluggage." as a Travelled
American calls 1t, was piled up, the
trunks were opened and the missing
articles taken out with the most pro-
fuse explanations on the part of the
staff of the hotel Headed by the silver
tongued manager, who knew that Ia
dies often made mistakes of that kind
particularly Americans who travelled so
much and were always in hurry"

The sum which one of the leading
Washington hotels spends yearly Tor
stationery mounts into the thousands
of dollars. 1t is estimated that fully
third of the material purchased Is
used by so-called outsiders.
TT would be impossible" said the
manager of this hotel to a Washington
Post reporter, to keep an exact ac-
count of this, and the term outsiders Is
vague one. for that may mean people
who come to luncheon and dinner, and,
having a little time to spare, occupy
1t by sending notes. Naturally no dis
elimination can be made between them
and those who are regular patrons or
the place.
In fact, the only discipline we can
exert without hurting the establishment
Is to keep close watch on those who
we know are abusing the privileges &C
corded and give them a quiet word OF
warning. There have been hundreds
of cases that have come under my no
tice of people who made regular prac-
tice of dropping into the writing room,
and / should Judge never bought a
sheet of paper or an envelope Tor
themselves in their lives. These people
have been under surveillance, and as
they have never been known to spend
dollar here in legitimate ways they
have been culled out with firm hand.
The vanity OF human mature
than any real lack of honesty Is at
the bottom of a good deal of this Kind
of-well, say, stealing, although that
is rather harsh word. People VINO
have come from some small town out
West ana have heard of this and other
hotels come here to look about. Then
they think 1t would be good JOKE 10
send a little note to some friends. They
do so, and before very long the habit
of these little notes Is formed and they
drop in here whenever they are going
by. actually know of case OF
Western woman who announced delio-
erately that she had taken small
room in the neighborhooi of this hotel
for she found that the reception room
here made a good place to meet her
friends and she never bought any sta

New England people are rarely ofend-
ers in this respect. There 10 a great
deal of joking done about the economic
proclivities of the Inhabitants OF that
part OF the country. but 1t Is an
economy which apparently takes into
account the rights of others as well as
their own.
