Mr. Cooper constructed a eote bae

When a Cooper tew boat takes

who waa deploring the uareliability
of the newspapers, "when I was your
age I had the same fault to find with
the pipers, I could u't believe
word that waa iu 'em. For instaaee,
every day I read seme screed about
hotel clciks stickiu up their nosei at
peer but respectable people, who
were forced to etop with them. At
that time I wa proprietor of the
Filth Avenue Hotel, an' was runnin'
it on the European plan if you
don't see what you want ask for il.no

of thing. I don't believe a wrd of
what the papers writ about hotel
clerks, au waa mighty aure mine
wa'n't that war. To satisfy myself,
however, an vindicate hotel clerks
everywhere, I put up a job on the
