"Our key fitter is one of the most impor1 tant men on our staff," said the manager of a large New Orleans hotel. "He ;s kept busy every day of the year, anil ! sometimes he is so rushed with wtfck that I . he has to call in an assistant. It is no i exaggeration to say that he averages , j from 25 to 30 keys a day." | "But I would suppose," remarked a j | listener, "that even a big hotel would ac- ! I quire a sufficiency of keys in the course I of time." "So it does," replied the manager, "if j the public would only let It keep 'em; but | it won't. It would astonish anybody not I in the business to know how many guests j walk off with their room keys when they ! leave the house. When the average tnuu gets ready to depart, he packs his valise, locks his door and then goes direct to the j cashier's wicket to settle his bill. When | that formality is attended to, he is gener| ally in a rush to get to the depot and is ! quite apt to forget that he has omitted I to return his key at the clerk's desk. ; That, at any rate, is the way I account for so much absentmindeduess on the I subject. The clerk doesn't discover that I the key is gone until the chambermaid ' j applies for it to clean up the room, which ; is probably an hour or two after the I guest has taken his departure. Then j | nothing remains but to call in the key j ; fitter and tell him to prepare a duplicate j i as quickly ns he can. "Formerly the hotels tried to guard i j against this innocent kleptomania," the ! 1 manager went on, "by haviug their keys made very large and cumbersome and , attaching them to enormous metal tags, j the idea being to render it impossible to ' put them in one's pocket To that end ! they were probably a success, but they i were such an unmitigated nuisance otherj wise, aind guests complained so bitterly ! | at the annoyance of handling them, that ; ! they were generally discarded. You will j still find the plan popular in the country, j however, and in small houses that huve I no locksmiths on the premises, and only j a week or so ago I dropped into a quaint , little establishment where the keys were j attached to brass disks fully as large :i? : dessert plates and serrated at the edge | like circular saws. "At present most of the big hotels use ; ; a modest metal check, stamped with their | ! address and a request to forward through | the mails if accidentally carried off. All, that is necessary is to attach a 3 cent1 Btamp to the tug and drop the key in the j nearest, letter box. Incidentally I may | say that about one man in 50 takes the j ! trouble. But, aside from the room keys j ! carried away by guests, a vast number of : j all kinds disappear through the inysterl- j ous channels to oblivion that exist in all i large hotels. They vanish, and that's the end of it?keys to furniture, wardrobe keys, closet keys, bathroom keys, keys to the help's lockers, padlock keys from th? outside storerooms, big coal bunker keys, j gate keys and keys of every imaginable j size, Bhape and style. They are contin- j ually missing and have to be replaced, j If a lost key turns up later, the duplicate ; is carefully ticketed and laid away in o : drawer set aside for tnat purpose, out j they seldom turn up. They have gone to the limbo of lost pins, last season's birds' nests and the snows of yesteryear."? New Orleans Times-Democrat. Eat All Yon Can, Mother! An old man whose hair and beard wen; cut in a chaste, rural design appeared In one of the table d'hote restaurants the other day. He had his wife with him. That was more than the old lady could say of her hearing. She was almost stone deaf, which gave everybody a chance to find out what splendid lungs her husband had. The meal was luncheon. The price which the old man was asked after he had ordered two meals was 75 cents. "Seventy-five cents!" he exclaimed. i _ t, "Xou qod i uieua upiecej "Yes, sir." "Gracious!" He thought It over a minute or two. Then he looked at his wife as if considering whether he should try to got the dreaded news past the old lady's tympanum. Evidently he gave it up. But he did what he could. When the first course came on, he leaned over and shouted in her car: "Eat all you can, motherl I'll tell you j why after, awhile!"?New York Sun. Got His Tipa Direct.

Only a disliko to owi mysolf beaten and tho occasional fascina tlon which censpensatcd for the more fre quent discomfort kept nio in tho office But all this was before tho clay x was bcd to Interview the wifo and daughter of th man who had just disturhod society b; disappearing from It. Mr. Grey, so It had been learned fron the notices concerning his disappearance had one ovening aftor dlnnor gono out foi a stroll around the block. He had neve Dome baok. His family was of cours prostrated after the manner of families oj Buoh sad occasions. After giving hin time to come back, sending to his clubs his office and tho houses of his friends hi wife had finally cold his lawyers, and syg tematlc soarch was begun. Tho famil; bad retired from public lffe and deniet themselves to evory one, oonsequentl; my chanoes for an intorview with Mrs Grey did not seo hopeful, but the city ed itor's air of granting me tho opportunit; 1 had been longing for made me loath t admit my fears. I took the train for the Greys' ?the; lived a little way out of town?and pre pared mysolf to meet the servants' 6Con and the other attendant evils of suoh ai assignment. The coaoh was an ordinar one, and there were several laboring moi in it, evidently traveling to some subur where they were to work upon the roade for they carried pickaxes and shovels. There sat opposite me and slightly for ward a peculiar typo of man to whom found my gaze wandering every few min utes. nis iron gray balr was thick ant very unevenly out. His faoe was coverei with a stnbblv growth of gray beard. H looked unwashed, unkempt and gonerall; unpleasant. His bluo overalls were stain ed with red clay and his red flannel shir oponed at tho front in a way that revoal? anything but a beautiful neck, burn? and blistered. But the man's twitchini lips and convulsive movements of the jaw attracted my attention, and his deep steely blue eyes that burned in cavernou sockets fasoinated me. He did not talk t tho other men, but sat with his head sun] upon bis breast, only occasionally raisinj It to cast a look about him. He, with th other laltorers, left the train at Forostvllle where the Greys li^od, and I soon sav them, under the direction of a foreman assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see me I eat in the library while the servant tool my card to her, for there were other oaller in the drawing room. Over the mantc hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey done in oil. She was as beautiful as, cameo and as hard. Opposite hor was th portrait of a clean shaven mao, with fin iron gray hair brushed off his forehead? moro plebeian cast of countcnance, bu Btrong and Interesting. The face seemei familiar. I stared at it until the 6ervan returned. "Mrs. Grey Is sorry, miss, bub sheca see no one, and has nothing to say to publication." "Very well," said I. Then I rose to go "Is that Mr. Grey?" I asked, noddlni toward the pioture. "Yes, miss," was the reply, and sud denly it flashed upon me where I had see: those deep set, curiously shaped, keen bin eyes. My heart leaped almost into m; mouth. I took one long look at the poi trait and left the house. The men were repairing the road, and noticed one of the workmen whose fac startled me. The resemblance to the poi trait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarks ble. He worked with a fierce delight 1: the severe labor. His faoe seemed mot mad than ever, with the exultation of mc tion and strength deepening the gleam L his eyes. There wai a telegraph office at the en of the street. I sent a mossago to the olt; editor, "sena a man iu rurBsmuo a once," was my command. Tbon while paoed the street and walked about th square I reflected upon the welcome ! would receive if I bad made a mistake Every minute I became mo ? and mot convinced that I had made the most colos sal blunder on record. Sy the time Mi Ellington Ellsworth, the only man whi happened to be available when my tele gram was received, had arrived I wa nearly hysterical. I told Mr. Ellswort] my theory, and he was properly skeptical He discouraged me thoroughly in abou two minutes, but I suddenly rallied. "Well," I remarked, taking command "I want you to keep that man in 6lght. shall go to town and get his lawyer. Fin< out what train they go in on, and I'l meet you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to act upoi f-.Via* onoonsMnn Vint ha flnnllv consontei V"?w "-06vw*,v-> m to do so. I vent Id, summoned Mi Grey'8 lawyor and with him met thi workingmen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, look lug bored and unhappy, got out and point ed out our suspected "disappearance" t bis lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth Was I to bo forever disgraced or made fa mous forever? "Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, steppln forward, "what does this mean?" And when I saw the man start wildly knew that I was not forever disgraoed. "Well," said the city editor jovlall} "what did they say?" "They didn't say anything. They dldn' see me." "So you didn't get the Interview?" aal the city editor shortly. "No," I replied meekly, "but I foun the missing man." And now. such Is the Irony of fate, th olty editor, instead of lotting me rest o my laurels, is always exhorting me to llv up to the reputation I made In the Gre case, when I found the missing mac learned how overwork had worn out hi brain and how in his half orazod cond! tlon he wandered away and returned t bis original occupation in life, to the hoi ror of his wife with the cameolike taoo. ] only 1 had never been so brilliant!?Ki ohange.
