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.

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. A barrel, ot flour cost
1U0, a bushel of eorn, I JO; a pound of
bacon, K and a barrel of sweet potatoes.

ate nothing but muskrat at that meal, and
got away with three portions, much to the
delight of the darky waiter, who rejoiced
at my sudden change of form, for I hesi
tated a moment before giving my first
order. 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."

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

Into neighboring countries, and there has

"I take notice," said Bhow-Me Smith, the
original discoverer ot real history, "that
a Baltimore ravant says that Eve was the
original suffragette. I don't know what a
savant Is. unless it's one of them brands
of Baltimore oys.ers, but I ra h r think
said savant is a little twisted.
"I never could see nothing original about
Eve except her general . style, and she
didn't have anybody to fight with hut
Adam.
"Besides there wa'n't any suffragettes
till they Invented America, anyway, and
the first one I get track .of here Is Mrs.
Molly Pl'.cher. She fired the first gun,
and her friends and fellow cltlzenesses
have been firing ever since some of 'em
pretty good shots, too.
"Molly wss chairwoman of a little con
vention they held over in. Monmouth, N.
J. not beciuso she was deed, or any
thing like that, but brcause she waltzed In
and took the floor and held It, too, as long
as she pleased.

demanded a red-fiiced delegate In a red

The rest all cheer her and Molly proceeds
to elect herself chairwoman and to cut
loose with tie first gin ever und by a
suffragette In this country. I've seen some
pretty good gun play In my time out Mis
souri way, but from what they tell mo of
Molly's shootln' that day she must have
smashed the bull's-fye every time.
"She hit "em with everything, from the
Initiative and referendum down to ballot
reform, and when they gathered up the
pieces they voted Mrs. M. Pitcher not
only the original suffragette, but the Annie
Oakley of her day and time.

"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."
You say It with such an air of con
iition; and you look so ilenirable that it Is
easy to think yours is the proper point of
x u-w. Hut I am not deceived by It, as I
once was. And, what counts more. I am
not going to allow you to go on deceiving
yourself.
A chivalrous man In love with you
thinks It Is a good deal to ask, too. You
and I would not rare much for him, we
would not liKe his brand of manhood, if
l.e did iul. Hut chivalry and facts are
two different things, though a delightful
combination If they can be associated.
It is not aod deal to ak. You are
not a "rare and radiant creature" detached
from life and its experiences and elevated
to a place from which you can command
and on which you ran be worshiped. You
are Just a human girl, with all the splendid
"The anti-suffragettes, led by the afore
mentioned person in the red jacket, were
swept up and thrown out of the place and
Molly was elected delegate-at-Iarge to the
next convention.
"Souvenirs of the occasion were In great
demand, and the crowd pretty nearly
cleaned the place out. The only thing
they couldn't move or pull up was Molly

was, but tacked a sign upon it. snd mnde

to make Just now, and I hereby suggest It

happy all at the tame time and done It
successfully? What do you positively know
about tl- work that will fall to you? Ue
member that the man knows enough atyout

for doing It.
And recover from that idea of "sacrific
ing your Independence.;' Any married
woman has mure Independence, even If her
husband is a tyrant, than a girl has In a
home that Is controlled snd managed by Its
I rightful queen, her mother. Hhe Is an ac
cessory, a pampered one, perhaps; but she
is rot really independent. You have to be
free to be that. And a half-prtnersh!p In
a home Is the best nay to that freedom

Philanthropic Farmer a nd the Tramp J
At a hall from the field the eopper-nosed
vagabond, with the coal dust caked In his
neck wrinkles, checked his leisurely shuffle
and, after a moment's hesitation, laid down
his bundle and stick and squatted to await
the farmer's approach.
"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."

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.
They should be mad tha forlorn hope.

"I could make room for an extra man,
certainly," admitted the farmer. "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
