Show Stood on His Rights. Several years ago a Northern Missouri Mis-souri farmer came to Kansas City to spend 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 was stunned. He considered at an extremely high rate, but since he had already registered he decided not to be a quitter, and kept the room. I The first night, just as the farmer , had fallen asleep, the bellboy rushed into his room, turned on the light and t exclaimed: I "Get up! Better hurry! The hotel I is on fire!" j 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. |
