That Is a trifle steep, and n while back an inter-club committee was named to negotiate with the hotels for a x reduction in price. The In vestigations of this committee brought out some Interesting facts. TMIE hotels, for example, brought in their hooks and showed to the committee that under existing conditions SERVICE ALONE not Including food and overhead costs 45 cents for every meal served. That is to say. If you eat n 45 cont breakfast nt a Class A hotel the price you pay covers only the cost of having the meal served to you and the hotel Is out the cost of the food, tho general over head, etc. Every largo hotel in tho city, the committee was told, is losing money on Its dining rooms.

Ho thought the nnimal was dead, picked it up by a leg and carried it to a small shed, where he hung it up on a wire and started remov ing the hide. Ho hail the skin about half off when the coyote suddenly came to life. It snapped at his shoulder, tearing Ills shirt, and as Mr. l'roe fi,.i lunimxl tiwuv. it seized his wrist and sank Its fangs to the bone.
