"Why, tho bells in.the rooms are a perfect disgrace; not one of them would ring. Everything I wanted I had'to fetch myself. I must have spent some hours tugging at those boll-pulls.-" "It's true we have charged for attendance," said the smiling proprietor, "but see; we have charged you nothing- for your physical culture course." "Physical culture course!" exclaimed the tourist; in surprise. . "I don't know iwhat you mean." "The- daily use of dumb-bells," was the cool retort.
