You told me all about that last

An inarticulate roar showed that this
little remark had struck some deep
emotion in the would-be sleeper's s
breast

Don't talk so loud, please" urged
the bell boy: you'll wake up somebody
that wants to sleep"
The mans shriven nerves cracked
under this strain. An instant later
something large and solid hit the door

He opened the door quickly. The OBJ
server beheld face that exactly came
up to his expectations. The mans hair
was tumbled until it looked like hay

tions of an earthquake. A great bath
robe enveloped him.

conversation.

solomon asserts that wicked men live
for mischief and live by mischief. They
live for it in its being the engrossing
thought OF their lives.
Their sleep is taken away unless they
cause some to fall. 1t is common eX-
perience of evil men to lie awake through
the night. plotting how they may en-
compass the fall OF purity and virtue
They sleep not except they have done
mischief"
They live by mischief What they have
for their support is obtained ny dls-
honesty ana violence.
They eat the bread of wickedneSs and

Wicked men live by deceit, treachery
and oppression
What a travesty or life is the exist
ence of those VINO live for mischief and
by mischief, 1t is a fearful indictment

"If you'll lay off those fool interrupt

voice:
The hotel management is convinced
that business will increase if special
attention is paid to those transients

But why rob the hospitals and sani-

the Observer.

There may be something in that

Il wonder what the Washington ho-
tells think about it?" wondered the man
who reads the papers.
That remains to be found OUT stated
the Observer. and wandered away in
search of a hotel.
The day opened in a promising way.
Without a clear idea of just where to
begin in his search for views, the OBJ
server stepped into the elevator of a
middle-class hotel and got off at the
first stop, which happened to be the
third floor. He was rambling down the
corridor when the sound of voices
raised in high debate led him to turn
down an aisle which branched off to
the right. In little while he came
upon the scene. A small boy with a
large, round head was standing out
side a closed door and talking. 1t may
have been his uniform-beside which
the dress regalia of the Marine Band
took on the aspects of a November
rain-or it may have been a natural
talent. but something gave that youth
a determination which, rightly direct
ed, should make him a controlling force
In world affairs.
He had paused a moment to stare at
the Observer. Then, ignoring him
completely, he went on where he had
left Off
You told me to call you,' he said to

yourself last night to call you and call

From behind the closed door came
the notes of a rich bass voice, thick
with sleepiness yet sufficiently alive
to be querulous. At its first intonation
the observer visualized a heavy. red
faced man, paunchy and bulbous-nosed.

going to be if you stay around here a

was the matter of the important en-
gagement. Suppose he missed it?
Evening star., 1915-01-10

Would not his lionIike roars be heard
to the very ends of the town? They
would-no question about that.
So engrossed was the Observer in the
matter that he was utterly surprised
when he discovered that he had walk
ed down flight of stairs and was con-
fronting mournful woman, evidently
an employe of some kind.
To her he made the same suggestion
he had previously laid before the late
sleeper.
"a special floor for them that wants
to sleep late?" she repeated. evidently
trying to fix upon the merits and de-
merits of this revolutionary notion.
Having come to conclusion she
nodded her head solemnly.
