Not Exactly the Location.

“Right this way here for the Bangup hotel on the European plan," vociferated a hotel runner at the depot, and then tried to grab the valise of a verdant looking granger who had just arrived with his better half on the train from Squeequnk. “Hold on there! Drat your hide, jest drop that air grib-sack will ye!” yelled the excited countryman, and, then turning tc his companion, with a knowing air said: “I know, Sally, that sounds some like the name of the hotel cousin John said we wair to go to, but he didn’t say it was on the European plan; he said it was on the corner of Main street. They arn’t a-going to fool me with enny of their city tricks, I tell you!”— Carl Pretzel's Weekly. M.
