Some Wants of a
UFIWLO, N. Y. Advocating a fed
oral law which would compel ho-
tela to furnish nothing lesa than nine
foot blnnkots, a son of Antik at tlio
Statlor hotel told his troubles to the
management In a letter from which
this Is an extract:
"I stand six foot, four Incites In my
stocking foct nnd I am fi feet, 0
Inches from my chin to tho floor, Now
I have failed to find In this hotel a
blanket which Is over six feet, six.
Inches long. Unless I havo tho blank
et tucked In around my neck I catch
cold; nnd If I do tuck theso short
blankets around my neck, why, then
1 havo to null them up from tho bot
tom and my feet gut cold.
"I bcllovo thcro Is a law In Texas
which compels hotel proprietors to
furnish nine-foot blnnkots. I could do
with a blanket seven feet, ten inches
long. However, I'd llko to see a fod
oral law passed fixing -tho nine-foot
limit"
Tho complaint" was found In tho
complaint nnd suggestion box of tho
hotel nnd afforded fjulto a bit of
amusement to Mr. Statlcr and his
manager, Mr. Larabco. Somo weeks

who lolled in tho easy chairs.
"Huh," ho snorted, contemptuously,
"a bunch of stall-fed steers."
"I beg your pardon," said a neatly
dressed youth. "Did you speak?"
The atranger took in tho neat look

neither tho "spirit" nor tho "sitters"

Fltzslmmons, groping his way in tho

dragged tho spirit forth, struggling vio

Ho was "turning in" at the head

but nobody expected so many sugges

"Do not clmngo a thing. Your hotol

That same day this came:
"I wish you would havo tolegrams

"to havo, either freo or nt a nominal

Thereupon ho drew n largo blue pis

"You Infernal yap," ho lnnulrod,

It Is, perhaps, needless to add that

Tho young man tried' to danco fast

more shots nt the electric lights. Then
tho neat young man stopped from
sheer exhaustion.
