Tell me what it means.
24th—Spittoon!
The American spittoon is famous, Uncle says.
From every corner in this nine-story hotel—think of its eight hundred and fifty-one rooms!—you are met by the greeting of the spittoon.
How many thousand are there?
It must be a tremendous task to keep them clean as they are.
I wonder why the proprietor doesn’t give the city the benefit of some of them.
San Francisco ought to place spittoons along the sidewalk.
The ladies wear such a long gaudy skirt.
And it is quite a fashion of modern gents, it appears, to spit on the pavements.
