Reason For the Peculiar Signature on

Reason For the Peculiar signature on
the Hotel Register.
Many peculiar signatures in the
course Of a season find themselves
upon the register of a hotel. There
are foreign fists of all sorts in script
that none but the Kytka could I'M
ravel. The most curious of all, how
ever, was placed on the book only re-
Gently. 1t is this:
"Wm."
Only that and nothing morel
There is no surname. no address,
nothing at all but just "Wm."
This is the way 1t happened:
A well dressed man enteted the h0-
tel the other day and followed his
bags to the desk. The register was
swung around into position for him
and pen handed him by the gentle
manly desk clerk. Then, in a free,
swinging hand, he wrote the accepted
abbreviation Of his first name, WIN"
AS II a thought had suddenly Oc-
CURED to him, he stopped writing ana
looked up.
"What do you charge for a single
room here by the day7" he asked.
'Three, four, FIVE and six dollars
answered the clerk.
"Ain't you got no dollar rooms?"
mo, we have no dollar rooms.
Three, four, five and six
"Goshw he said, and he didn't look
the part either This is no place for
me. Gimme my luggage"
And he sneaked out of the hotel az
one who had trodden on sacred ground.
Which is why on the register today
is the odd signatures:
"Wm."-San Francisco Chronicle.

LUCK OF A MINER.
What He Deemed a Disaster Brought
Him a Fortuna


Him q Fortune.
The miners of New Mexico tell
queer story which illustrates their be-
lief in luck. A miner was trudging
along one hot day through gulch,
with the sun shining on his back, when
he smelled smoke and presently. to his
dismay, discovered that his knapsack
was on fire.
Like all miners. he carried a large
lens for the purpose of examining spec
linens, and for want of. room he had
hung the glass on the outside and the
rays of the sun had been concentrated
on his pack.
AS among the contents were fifteen
pounds of powder he lost no time In
dropping the dangerous burden and
getting as far away as possible. The
haversack fell between two big rocks.
while the miner from a safe distance
mournfully watched the smoke rising
from his sole worldly possessions
Presently there came deafening ex-
plosion, and the miner went to gather
up what he could find. Then his eyes
almost started out Of his head at see
ing the quartz that had been blown up
fairly glistening with gold. His pow
der had literally blown open gold
mine, and he was made a rich man In
an instant. He named the mine the
mick o. Time."-Exchange
