Show HOTEL AND CORRIDOR In one of the leading hotels last evening a group of bellhops were having an animated conversation and the Corridor man moved closer to ascertain the cause of their confab The boys were discussing the people who gave tne best tips poor tips and no tips at all and the conversation would bring out many a happy smile and many a look of disgust One young man said Theres that old bloke in 47 he < wouldnt give a fellow the glad hand if he had to and I am always busy when he presses the button Then theres that fly duck in 32 the smallest he tossed at me was a fourbit piece I tell you fellows hes all right The old girl in 52 is all right too but that maiden lady with the plastered beau catchers in 105 is a terror Here the bell rang and the speaker looked around Ninety you take it Shorty Take it yourself the smaller boy retorted and the dispute kept up until a scowl from the clerk sent one of them on the fly doubtless to a room where the tipping was a minus quantity quan-tity A few moments later 74 fell down on the big register and no less than three hops started at once to answer a summons from a man who knew what it was to stand in with the bellbOYs bell-bOYs

indication of ever stopping e In the Knutsford last evening a party of prominent men were discussing discus-sing the threadbare subject of the Utah senatorship and Colonel Trumbo in particular One

advertised ad-vertised himself throughout the east so thoroughly that few western men are better known He is a bosom friend of Clarkson who in turn is behind Allison Now Trumbo didnt expect for a minute that hed get that senatorship but if Allison Alli-son should be elected president Mr Trumbo would receive one of the plumsprobably some office as a foreign for-eign minister Thats my theory I
