The Adventures of an Astorian
'BY WILLIAM McWHINNEY." 1
After an absence of 20 years Cap
tain Tutton dropped Into Knstport
Me., on a brljrM June morning, feeling
the worse for travel. His cousin runs
the hotel In this little town, nmt he
made "Ken Ituckman't Place" head
quarters during his stay. Tired, sore
and covered with prohibition dust,
he registered in a cureless scribe
"Jim. Tutton, Astoria, Ore, U S. A."
After registering, he asked for a key
to his room, and quietly whispered
to the clerk that a large alsed drink
of "coffee" would be a treat at this
particular time if he could get it
"Certainly; you can have It. Any
thing and everything to cheer trave
lers is In our business, sir,"
Jim, I'm more 'an glad lo see ye;
shake!"
The sudor of Pm-lttV waters grasped
the Mnlnlte's hand; they shook like
they never had before, and Jmirs of
Joy found a place of rest on their
shirt bosoms.
"well. Jim; I swan and you're
the same man I handed a towel In the
kitchen. Ilow atupld In me not to
recognise' my own cousin. Put you'll
forgive me, won't you. Jim?"
"Certainly, Pen; no harm done."
"Well, sir, J lin, you're a-looklng
fine; and I hope ye feel as well."
"Never better. How's all the folks,
Penr
"Well, Jim, e see things hain't
changed much since you left a few
here," said the captain, as he patted
the clerk, bell-boy and whole thing
on the shoulder.
"I want a drink; that will help a
man to forget his troubles In quiet
Maine."
"This way to your room, sir. Climb
two flights of stairs, walk straight
ahead to hallway, turn to your left
and count six rooms back on ""your
right and the sixth room is yours."
' "All right," said the captain; "I'll
do that, and you hurry up the drink."
The minute the Astorian dropped
his grip In that sixth room his troubles
began. He Wanted to take a bath
and change his linen. While wait
ing for the clerk and the drink he took
from the wall a card "Rules and
Regulations" adjusted his nose
glasses and read as follows:
Rule One AH bills payable in ad
vance. Relatives charged regular rates
and no favors granted.
Rule Two Upon retiring be careful
not to drop your shoes on the floor.
and don't sit on the side of the bed as
the tick sags. If you want more quilts
whistle for them.
Rule Three Early-rise buckwheat
cakes and salt pork every morning
for breakfast, from B:00to 6:30. Any
thing you want for dinner. Cold meats,
beans and brown bread for supper.
No lunches between meals at any
price.
Rule Four-When you want to
wash take the hack stairs to kitchen
where water, towel and home-made
soap will be cheerfully furnished rby
Mary, the dishwasher. When jrou
want a bath notify the porter a wash
tub of pure rain water, blood heat,
will be brought to, your room at
a. m. Don't wet the carpet.
Rule Five No fire escapes on this
building. In case of fire run to back
window and Jump on kitchen roof,
then another Jump for the ground and
wake the neighbors.
P. S. If the above rules are not
plain, the proprietor will ejplaln
them.
Returning the card to Its tack In
the wall, he removed his coat, hat,
collar, shirt, and slipped suspenders
from his shoulders. "Here goes for
Rule No. 4," said Jim; and away he
went down the back stairs for a
Maine scrub with soft soap and rain
water. He entered the kitchen and
all was quiet, "Where is Mary?
She's not here. Plenty of soap and
water In sight, but what am I to do
for a towel?"
"Mary!" he shouted, "bring me a
towel!" , .
The proprietor heard the mild re
quest in the front office and came out
In a hurry.
"What's up?" Inquired the land
lord.
"Everything Is away up In this
place," answered Jim. "I want, a
towel and I want It quick." And he
got it
The bath and a change of clothes
helped to cheer him.
"Now I'll see Cousin Ben."
With thoughts of bygone days In a
better land, he made his way to the
hotel office. Buckman had received
his weekly mall, the Portland trans
cript, and was comfortably seated In
the old arm chair, enjoying- the news
of the week. Jim entered unnoticed
and broke the silence with, "Hello,
Ben, old boy; how are you? .And
what's the news about these dlggln'sf
Well," said Ben, "I Just got my
Transcript a halt hour ago, and hain't
had a chance to find out much yet
just got down to the national capital
notes. They say In Washington that
Roosevelt will be re-elected, and I
guess the crops and crountry will be
safe another four years."
Buckman never took the trouble to
see-who had greeted him, and kept on
reading.
"Come, never mind your politics;
shake hands with your cousin, Jim
Tatton, of Astoria, Ore."
Buckman's paper fell to the floor
and his sliver specks dropped In his
lap.
"Well, by gum! Jim Tatton! and
Good for you, old man; I'm glad I'm' of us old boys have got a little older;
all the young folks put to Boston or
some other large city to learn some
thing, and you know, Jim, the first
thing they learn Is to steer clear of
home. And. tell the truth. I don't
blame 'em much, 1 was In Boston fer
a day six years ago, and If It wasn't
fer havln' this hotel on my hands,
I'd never come back either.
"Utst season herring fought shy of
these Bhorea and the factories only
run a few weeks' time. When the
factories don't run full time someone
in our town goes hungry, and I guess
quite a few have been going with a
half-fed stomach this summer.
"Your old friend. Captain Brltt, still
runs to Calais on the passenger
steamer; he'll be In tomorrow at 1;
the same old Prltt; Just as good
natured; hasn't had an ache or pain
since I can remember.
"Tourists have been more numerous
this season, and loks like the Repub
lican times of years ago. I tell ye;
Jim, there hain't nothln' like good old
Republican rule t make 99 per cent of
the people happy.
"They tell me up at Bath there are
several new ships beln' built, and
Bar Harbor hotels are crowded to the
roof with city folks look In' fer rest,
sea breeies, fish chowder, and such.
"I suppose ye saw the , big ship
Henry Falling In Portland. Ore. She
was built In Bath, and for a salting
craft takes the biscuit
"Our family has been purty well.
Mill had a sore throat last winter.
Grandmother died at the age of 99.
The day before - she passed away
she busied herself about the flower
beds and fed the chickens a meal
maan ior supper. Granny was so
good to the sick of our neighbor
hood. I guess more than us will miss
her kind heart and willing hands.
"Jim, how big a family you got
two or three boys and a girl, eh?"
Tatton blushed at this query and
surprised Ben when he answered,
"Not a one," as the Yankees boast of
large, good natured families.
To change the subject the captain
Invjted Buckman to take a walk be-
