Again Mr. Rappoport

This scientific and skilled hotel dead-beat, - the same is he who boarded palatially at the Cook and absent-mindedly left without paying, - has been heard from at Dowagiac, Niles, and two or three other towns to the westward. At Dowa?iac, Mr. Rappoport showed up with much style and that winning smile, last week, and meeting a party who knew of his leaving the Cook, grasped his hand cordially, called him by name, expressed great pleasure at meeting him, and ïncidentally stated that certain business matters called him suddenly from Ann Arbor, but he had since sent the cash to square the bill. True, at that moment he was strapped, and would the landlord' trust him to three meals? The landlord would and did. Confidentially Mr. Rappoport let our informant into an important secret. He had bet $10,000 in New York, - and put up the money, - hat he could dead beat his way rom New York to San Francisco, and live like a prince at the hotels along the way. This was the business he had in hand. This, however, he does not at once make the ïotels acquainted with; he sends he cash back afterward! He was mistaken about having sent money o pay his Cook house bill. Murnan, the clerk, even asserts that Mr. lappoport is a sulphurous liar, but of course he was excited. The Argus will bet $10,000 that f Rappoport's falsehood about beting $10,000 is true, he will win the bet.
