Here he found more trouble on being

bother him, so when the conductor was
not looking he went out on the plat-
form and waiting till the train was
approaching a particularly large drift,

ATE THE CHERRIES.
Young Lady Drummer Ordered Many Cock-
tails to the Discomfiture of Hotel Clerk.
A few days ago a young lady com-
mercial traveler registered at one of the
”local hotels during the afternoon and
lafter engaging a room, started out to
visit the dealers in her line of goods.
After finishing her day’s work, she re-
turned to the hotel and after eating sup-
per retired to her room with several
magazines to pass the evening reading.
In a short time, there was a ring from
the young lady’s room and the boy who
answered it returned to the office with
an order for a cocktail. The order was
filled and in a few minutes there came
another ring and an order for another
cocktail. This order was also filled and
after a half dozen of the drinks had been
sent to the room, the clerk came to the
conclusion that the young lady must
, have had a very successful day.
After three more cocktails had been
ordered from the same room, the cleik

lady was very indignant on receiving
the message. She wished him to tell the
clerk that asshe intended to pay for all
the drinks she ordered, she expected
them sent up and at once. The clerk
then resolved to see the young lady
himself and explain matters to her. So
he screwed up his cougage and going to
the room, tapped on' the door.
A feminine voice bade him entei and
opening the door he saw theyoung lady
sitting in an easy chair with a book in
her hand which she had been reading.
“Madam,” began the clerk, “I came to
inform you that it is against the rules
of the house to serve more than ten
cocktails in one room during an even-
ing, especially when it is occupied bya
lady and~" The young lady began to
laugh. ‘ "'Do you think I drank all those
cocktails?” she asked. “Why I have
only been eating the cherries in them.”
The clerk fled in disorder and when he
reached the office, sent up a bottle of
cherries with his compliments—Dan-
