Sharp tlnte! Clerlu. A hotel room clerk must not only know every room in the house, even to the kind of furniture, lights, air, etc., but he must be a quick, keen judge of human nature to know just whoro to assign as-sign a guest who has never visited the house before. Tho skilled clerk rarely makes a mistake, arrd in time becomes siuch an adept that he knows when a guest is going to complain about tho first apartment to which ho is assigned and acts accordingly, giving him one of the worst rooms in tho house, and tho sik ond titue one of the best. Tho contrast ia so great that tho objector feels flattered flat-tered and always comes a second time. There are few veteran hotel clerks who havo not run against tho createst objector object-or in tho world, tho opera singer Cam panini, who was never known to tako the first, second or third room to which , ho was shown. That man hi variably j wound up in tho worst room of the lot j thown him. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
