p UFFALO, N. Y.-Advocating fed

this is an extract:
Il stand six feet, four inches in my
stocking feet and l am s feet, 81
inches from my chin to the floor. Now
l have failed to find in this hotel a
blanket which is over six feet, six
inches long. Unless I have the blank

cold; and If l do tuck these short
blankets around my neck, why, then
| have to pull them up from the bot.
tom and my feet get cold
Il believe there is law in Texas
which compels hotel proprietors to
furnish nine-foot blankets l could do
with a blanket seven feet, ten inches
long. However, Id like to see a fed
eral law passed fixing the nine-foot
limit"
The complaint was found in the
complaint and suggestion box of the
hotel and afforded quite a bit of
amusement to Mr.. Statler and his
manager, Mr.. Larabee. Some weeks

rather than trouble my friends with
an early breakfast.
Il was sitting in the parlor about
midnight, talking over old times with
the proprietor Just as l was ready
to retire an automobile stopped in
front, and a couple of men much the
worse for wear came in. They bought
wine freely. One of them demanded
that the piano be played.
"Champagne buyers are rare birds
at that hotel and the proprietor did
not want to lost his good customers.
He turned to me. Nick he said, just
beat the box a few minutes. They'll
never know who you are l played
ragtime, grand opera and love songs
while the men bought more wine. AS
they were about to 60 one of them
came over to me with his wallet in his
hand.
"'Here, profess he said, you're the
goods as piano player. Buy little

"He handed me dollar bill. l have
it framed at home as a certificate of
my ability as workingman."
1t is we'll known that Nicholas can
beat the box" in pretty creditable
shape.

Senator Burton gets many an odd
appeal for information. This week he
received the following letter from a
law student:
Dear Congressman: Will you kind

central bank scheme. How can a c. B.
be kept from political caprice? Is
the United States too vast for c.. B.?
If not, how can the supporter of such
view be answered."
The answer which H. B. Fuller, Mr..
Burton's secretary sent, was filled
with all the courtesy that our Ian
guage knows, but the law student will
have to dig up his c. B. information
himself

NEW YORK.-New York was shot
~ up" recently by a bad man from
the wild and woolly west Other folks
from the west have tried to shoot up"
New York in the past, but without ex-
ception they have failed sadly and
miserably. This one didn't. He got
away with it and the police are still
looking for him.
1t happened in an uptown hotel A
tall and angular stranger with flaunt-
ing black locks and an untamed look
In his eye-the kind of individual that
the gold brick salesman regards as
fresh meat"-drifted into the lobby
and let his gaze fall witheringly on a

Thereupon he drew large blue pis-

You Internal yap," he inquired,
where did you get those shoes Dance,

1t is, perhaps, needless to add that
the neat young man danced. He
danced and he jigged! alas. he did q
buck and wing, not to speak of fan
dango and a Cubanola glide.
Faster" said the stranger, firing a
shot at the ceiling. Faster, you dude,
faster!"
The young man tried to dance fast
or and the stranger accelerated the
tersichorean movement by firing four
more shots at the electric lights Then
the neat young man stopped from
sheer exhaustion.
One bullet remained In the bad
mans gun, and he fired that into the
neat young mans ankle. Then he
strolled out into the street. while q
crowd stood gaping at him, too terri
fled to raise a OBTAINING hand. When
the police arrived he had disappeared
as completely as if he had been
