instructed him carefully as to his
duties, being very particular in
telling him that he should not

specified upon the register.
Dennis, the new clerk, was also
bellboy. and from five in the
morning he was as busy as bee
rousing the roomers. No. Al at
$40, No. AZ at $50, and so on,
Around o'clock was his busy
season. He was going up and
down the halls. rapping and bel
lowing in a voice not very mild,
when the door of room thirty
opened and a man stepped out.
Dennis looked at his list, and
there, sure enough. was room No.

Aren't you the man who left
the call for o'clock" Dennis
asked.

I had a good sleep. and as it's
a nice morning thought / would

"Oh, no; not at all, me fine

not very gently by the arm and
marching him back to room No.

The Same Old
Spring

" HE spring, the gladstone
spring, is here;
Il The camphor ball of yester-
year
Rolls forth from out the old blue
serge,
Obedient to the cosmic urge.
Anon a flock of Fords newborn
Will lift a thin, soprano horn
And gambol down the thorough
fare
Where once their elders took the
air.
Red flannels change to smarter
white;
The sad straw lid is brought to
light,
And soon a group of freckled
peaches
Will bloom again upon or
beaches.
The niblick and the spoon rejoice
And list the call of masters voice
AS golfers by the score appear
Cheer up, old thing, the spring is
here! JUDGE.

Marriage is like medicine, the
