The Hotel Clerk.
le st. Louis Times.

From the St Louis Times.
1t used to be said that the hotel clerk
was lordly person, who would condo
scend to speak to you If you approached
him I'm the proper spirit of humility, and
that he always left you enough to travel
out of town with when he submitted
your bill. Like all traditions, this one
NAV have had some sort Of basis in years
gone by; yet how different conditions are
today. The hotel clerk of the present is
the original dispenser Of the glad hand
At least that is the prevailing type That
is the kind of clerk who stays, and is al
ways identified with the best hostelries.
He is a student of human nature, and he
realizes more quickly than the guest
just how to deal with individual
cases. He knows instantly when he is
confronted by a man with limited means
whose success depends upon his making
q brave showing. and he exacts no toll in
the way Of confession when such an ap-
plicant comes to his desk. He finds a
room at the right rates, and permits the
guest to believe that he is getting by with
his stall, and Is quietly amiable. The
hotel clerk IL a destroyer of the blues
when the traveller is thinking Of Mollie
and the babies. The clerk says q word,
or tells q story or remembers a face, and
the man away from home suddenly re-
allies that the hotel Is his. home, and
that he needn't be homesick at all after
he has written a letter back to OskA-
loosa or Green Bay.

MILK AND ICE SHORTAGE.
chicago Faces Famine as Result of
Continued Hot Weather

CHICAGO. July G.@Chicago is facing an
ice and milk famine as the result of the
continued hot weather.
The heat has cut the supply of ice 81
per cent All the large companies report
that they are unable to meet the demands
of the large consumers Yesterday a min
imum demand of 10000 tons was met by
the companies with the delivery of 5000
tons. Independent divers took advantage
of the situationfto raise the retail price.
The problem Which puzzles the ice COM
panies most is that of getting ice into the
city. The extreme heat has been respon-
sible for shr,nkage Of approximately 30
per cent. as against 10 per cent.
Milk dealers are predicting the great
est shortage In the supply of milk ever
experienced in the city.

CURIOUS LITERARY BLUNDERS.
Sun and Moon in Fiction-Mistakes
in Arithmetic and Geography.

From the Youths Companion.
The haste with which Sir Walter Scott
produced the greater number of his
novels doubtless accounts for the numer-
Gus plumbers, such as those first pointed
out by his literary kinsman, Robert
Louis Stevenson.
In Rob Roy two horsemen, riding on
urgent business. are made to take six
days to cover a distance OF 100 miles.
whereas on another occasion the same
horses cover Atty miles In single day.
Stevenson also called attention to Sir
Walters glaring mistake in The Anti
quarry" where the sun is actually caused
to set in the eastern heavens. But care
