To Room in Hotel
Assistant Manager Relieved When
He Finds Mistake Is Due 10
Dinner Coat.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-An assistant
manager was summoned to the cafe at
the Hotel Manhattan and his attention
was called to a man who slumbered ut
one OF tho tables.
"Hc has been there ever since lunch"
said the head waiter, land l can't get
him to movc.''
The assistant manager shook the
sleeper
'Lemme 'lone.' was the response.
Are you stopping In the hotel?' he
was asked.
Yep was the reply.
What's your name?"
'T. j. Jackson"
Inquiry was made at the desk as to
whether Il r. j. Jackson was registered
IN the hotel, and this was confirmed.
His room number was $50. This was a
case that required discretion. Mr.. Jack
son was smugglcd into room 1SO by way
OF the pantry and the freight elevator.
He had been put to bed when one Of the
hanging from the clothes rack. 1t would
fit man of half Mr.. jackson $ size.
Apparently he was not the Mr.. Jackson
who was paying for the room. Again
a question was put to the sleepy man.
"A live in the Bronx.' he replied this
time.
So the hotel men hurricdly put on his
clothes again, called for the chamber
maid to put the bed in order. and hur-
downstairs to a place where he could
finish his nap. The assistant manager.
when told OF the mistake due to the
coincidence IN names. brcathcd Il prayer
of Thanksgiving that the other T. J.
Jackson had not appeared.
