nors of the Commercial Club met at
the Eccles Hotel, President o. R.
Mas presided and the matter of rail-

TOLD IN SAN
FRANCISCO HOTELS

Under the above heading Tuesdays
San Francisco Chronicle tells this
story:
John e. Sexton, who general man
ages the Eureka-Nevada Railway,
divides his time between the Palace
in San Francisco and the general Of
fees of his railroad in Palisade. Just
at present he is carrying on his busi-
ness from the Palace. =
Yesterday Sexton was leaning
against the desk talking with Eddie
Roberts, assistant manager of the
Palace. He thrust a hand down into
his trousers pockets and brought up
a handful of pennies. Carefully bal
ancing each coin on his thumb nail.
he tipped them across the lobby.
Hey, what's the idea?" asked Ed
die.
"Well it's just like this. We used
to have a Governor of Nevada, by the
name of Sadler. Sadler made a re-
mark one time which has stuck by me.
L hope that no citizen of Nevada. he
said, will ever be so cheap as to be
found dead with a copper coin in his
pocket
81 can't give them away. l don't
want to insult any body by offering
them as tips, SO l just toss them
away" and Sexton, with accurate
aim, made a bullseye ON the brass
cuspidor against the wall with the
final penny. '
