an oppressive solemnity. Mr. Glack-

him into the same class. This mem-
ber paid his first visit to Toronto
during the summer session of 1808,
and put up at a well-known down-
town hotel. He was obviously awed
by the hotel clerk, and it was some
three days after his arrival before he
ventured to approach the . dignitary
with the words:
"Say, up in my section - of the
country they ,usually give a man a
lamp when he's going to bed. I may
be a farmer, but you can't impose
upon me. I'm not going to undress -
in the dark any longer."
"Why," said the clerk, "isn't there •
a light in your room?"
"No, there isn't."
"Front!" called the clerk, and to
the responding bell boy, "en un with
this gentleman and see what's the
matter with the light in his room."
