He was ', nominated for vice presldentt with Harrl , son, and In the exciting ' campaign that t followed the great slogan was "Tlppe-'-. canoe, and Tyler too!" f By the sudden death of President Hatrf- son, on month after the Inauguration, r Mr. Tyler was suddenly called upon to fill ' that Important position. He showed him self to be a man of resource and power. The admission of Texas to the fnlon . led to an excited discussion throughout he country at the close of Tyler's sdmln. Istrstlon.

How to Keep Boarders Who Pay A prise winner In a recent contest held ) by tha Chicago Tribune secured 75 for the following bits of advice to boarding house jAeapers: Be particular as to whom you let Into jrour house. An empty room , is better than a room too full. Don't keep a boarding house If you are 'Hot a good housekeeper. The atmosphere of the boarding house too often ta one of armed neutrality. Quality Is what counts. Poor food and poor pay are twin brothers. One clean napkin Is not a Joy forever. Change It now and then. S You can't afford to feed the man who xan't afford to pay. Make your guests your friends. Don't have guests whom you would not like for friends. Bet a standard. Don't fall below It yourself or let your guests rise above It. Little attentions bring big results. Dirt Is no friend of yours. You must know good food and you must ibuy It. There Is plenty of room at the top. It Us easier to please a $50 man than a $10 man If you know how. Remember your hoarders have feelings. Don't let them forget thai you have also. Give good service and take good rewards. Create a home atmosphere If you have to break up your home to do It. Muskrat a V. Since a good many muskrats are trapped in the neighborhood of Omahai the gour mets of the local clubs may find a hint for future Indulgence In the following dis sertation by a globe trotter, writing in the New York Times: i ' "It la prejudice and nothing else that pre vents people eating many delicious dishes. "Just think of a man turning up his nose at a nice tender sUce of roasted horse flesh and . then sitting down - to a dish ot pigs feet tripe or lambs' "-fr!! I have ' eaten all kinds of dishes that were strange I to me In 'various parts ot the world, and I I thought X waa wise to about "svery kind, j of dish that many people are Ignorant of: )but I was undeceived within a couple ot hundred mllee of New Y City. It waa down on the famou . eastern shore ot Maryland, and I was preparing mys.-lf i for some kind of a gastrontmlcal surprise. But I waa not prepared for the kind ot surprise I received. "When I aeated myself at the table the colored waiter asked me If I would have a rat. I fancied the waiter had a Jag on, or was fresh, but he explained that he re ferred to a muskrnt, end I ordered ono, for I am not so U-licsdrd as to shy nt a new dish Just because I had never eaten o It or heard of It. "It was great. It was served as a stew, like a rabbit stew, with a thick and rich brown gravy, but was much more tast than a rabbit and had a fine flavor. I Foreigners It appears from a recent census thnt out of the JX.MO.000 inhabitants of France more than 1.000.000 are foreigners. This gives one foreigner 4a every thirty-eight inhabitants. In the department ot the Seine nearly 400 Africans live. The Amer icans number nearly .00 and th Kngltsh more than U.OuO in that department. Nearly X.000 Italian workmen aie em ployed in French factories, 170,000 HeUians, M.OOO Germans, 0.000 Swiss and 37 t Span lards. Besides th's many laborers H back and forth dally hctwern France and abutting countries without acquiring a residence in the former. Sample War A reader sends In the following lint notation of prices paid during the closing year ot the war In Ueorgia, as taken from an old paper: "For plowing and splitting rails men were paid t a day, when they could be i secured, but they had to pay atiff prices for stuff to live on.

President Tyler was a widower, and In June, 1844, he came up to New York and was married at the Church of Ascen sion In Fifth avenue by Bishop Onder donck to Miss Julia Gardiner, a descend ant of the Gardlners of Gardiner's Island, where she was horn. For the final eight months of his ad ministration she presided over the White House with grace and dignity. Bhe then retired with her husband to his country estate In Virginia, called "Sherwood Forest." (Coprlght Ml. by the N. T. Herald Co.) J Pay attention to details. A slab of roast beef, no matter how large, won't cover the whole world. Don't be cynical. Men and women really are hunting for a home. They will bless you If you provide It. Success Is like the family cat. It loves a "homey" place, a cozy corner ana a cup of cream. Don't force your guests to eat that which you would not eat yourself. The cockroach Is your bitter enemy. He fights you to the deith and, tn the soup, beyond death. Feed a man cold storage stuff and he will have a heart of Ice when It comes to paying his bill. - If you give as little. as possible, they will pay as little as possible. Many a well meaning woman falls be cause she does not put her college educa tion into the business. Make your guests understand they are at home, your home and theirs. Have good servants. The girl who works for her board and room does that kind Of work. Tt is the little things, the dainty touches, that attract ladies and, gentlemen. Yon cannot afford to bother-' with the other sort.

The town wss the county seat. It was Saturday market day, and the streets were filled with country people Who had come to town to sell their farm products and take back goods from the town. At almost every corner negroes were selling 'raf carcasses, three for a quarter and they were going off like the preverblal hot cakes. "I learned that trapping muskrats was one of the Industries of the locality, es pecially among negro men, and boys of both colors. They were caught princi pally for their skins, although the meat found a ready sale. They were always referred to as "rats," and the aristocracy had their rat suppers, washed down with champagne, so rata were not at all a ple beian dish. "It seems to me that people who eat plrs' feet and pigs' knuckles, 'especially those that are served before having a shave or a hair .cut, as most of them are. I'live nothing on the muskrat. Since then I t'ave eaten them once or twice up this way. and they were about the same, although they did not aoem to be aa tasty. There Is one Important thing to observe in clean ing them, and this Is to remove the musk sao entire." in Prance J There Is a disposition to regard these last as a source of economic loss to France, since they carry their wages home to a foreign soli; hut economically France is probably well reimbursed by the labor for which it pays. Borne Frenchmen see In this foreign Invasion a natural con sequence of the low birth rate in France, though exactly the same sort of inter chrngo goes on all over Rurope.

Loretta's Looking "It's a good deal to ask of a girl -to give up her home, to sacrifice her independence, to live on a small salary. A man ought to be a pretty good person to expect It."

Screen all food, whether In the house or exposed for sale. Keep all garbage receptacles tightly covered. Keep all stable refuse sprinkled with lime or crude oil. Screen all doors and windows. Pour coal oil Into your drains. - Wherever there are flies there is filth. When you see one, look for the other. Glas s-Holds it Up to Girl possibilities of being a woman if you have the chance.

"Where you bound for, neighbor?" called the farmer, as he came up and hoisted a long leg over the fence. "Had your break fast?" He had a benevolent smile, had the farmer, and his tone was more than kindly. " A lady told me yesterday that I was bound for perdition," he answered, "it the road was In better shape I might be lieve her. Did you .mention breakfast? Why, come to think of it, I must have for gotten all about It!" "Come on up to the house. I guess the women folks can scare up something," In vited the farmer cordially. The tramp looked at his rope-girt tweed trousers and at his gaping shoes. "I ain't hardly presentable for ladles' society," he said modestly. "If you could give me a light lunch of eating tobacco light here, I believe I'd prefer it to the grape fruit and lamb chops. Besides which it's quite a walk to the house." The farmer looked at him reflectively. "My friend, what's brought you down to this?" he asked. "Whisky?" "It may have been whisky, and then it may have been boiled cabbage," replied the tramp. "I don't know but hot biscuit helped to sap my moral stamina, so to speak. That and overwork." "What you want to do Is to brace up and make a man of yourself," pursued the farmer. "You ain't down so low bht whst you can get up again." "I'm where I ain't likely to fall," said the tramp. "That rail you're perched on seems to me as If It wss rotten." "I believe in holding out a helping hand," declared the farmer, j "I suppose there's been times you've needed a helping hand yourself," suggested the tramp. "About harvesting time, ssy." r Saved by Habit J It was midnight. . The burglar had en tered the house as quietly "aa possible, but his shoes were not padded, and they made some noise. He had Just reached the door of the bedroom when he heard some one moving in the bed as if about to get up, and he paused. The sound of a woman's voice floated to his ears. "If you don't take your boots off when you come Into this house," It said, "there's going to be trouble, and a whole lot of It. Here it's been ruining for three hours, and you dare to tramp over my carpets with your muddy boots on! Uo downstalra and take them off this minute!" He went downstairs without a word, but lie didn't take off his boots. Instead, he went straight out Into the night again, and the "pal" who was waiting for him saw a tear glisten tn his eye. "I can't rob that house." he said. "It re minds me of home." Tit-Bits. In Mexico the poets stand. Insurgents all, with gun in hand, And when with IMas's troops they cope.

"I could give a fellow being a chance to redeem hlsself and make hlsself respected and happy. Folks might think I was foolish to take in a tramp, ao to speak, off the road, without any references of moral character and warm him in my bosom, but that don't worry me." "There's a chance that he might abscond with a bushel of turnips In the dead of night, but then, of course, you could watch him," said the copper-nosed vagabond. The farmer beamed benlgnantly. "I'd give you a chance," he smiled. "Come on up to the house." "Let's understand this first," the tramp Stipulated. "IJ you mean that you'd let me dig potatoes and shuck corn, and cut wood, and milk the cows, and plow, and hoe, and all that sort of thing. Just aa much as I wanted to, or even more, and that you'd feed me and let me have a place to sleep, and, maybe, a few work clothes and tobacco for Just doing that?" The farmer nodded kindly. "Iet's go," he said, descending from the fence. "Oh, Joy!" exclaimed the vagabond, rising and clasping his hands rapturously. "But stay,, kind Jasper! One more question, trifling as it may seem. How many bucks of the realm per month are attached to this Job? What are you paying your home less wanderers for being reclaimed eighteen hours a day?" The farmer looked pained. "J didn't ex pect to pay wages at first." he explained, "but If you'll take right hold I'll pay you $15." "Fifteen a day ain't so much," observed 1 the tramp, shouldering his stick. "Con sidering everything. It seems almost Insult ing to offer a man that for farm work. Still, If I wasn't Just out of the hospital and on the way to the bedside of my dying mother and didn't have the skyattlc rheu- matlsm and fits, I might work long enough to look a constable In the eye."
