Show Stood on His Rights. Several years ago a Northern Missouri Mis-souri farmer came to Kansas City to - 6pend a few days, and registered for a room at one of the larger hotels. When he learned the price he was to pay for the room he w-as stunned. He considered it an extremely high rate, but since he had already registered he decided not to be a quitter, and kept the room. The first night, just as the farmer had fallen asleep, the bellboy rushed into his room, turned on the light and excla'.med : "Get up! Better hurry! The hotel Is on fire! " The man raised himself on one elbow, el-bow, scratched his head and blinked at the boy. Finally he said: "Well, if I get up at this time o' night you needn't think I'm goin' to pay you for this here bed." Kansas City Star. |
