Selecting n boarding House.

A man came into my study last week
who told me of a new method of finding
a boarding place. He went, he said, into
o good meat shop, and asked the butcher
to tell him of the boarding houses where
he sold the best meat. The butcher
gave him two places, and he at once
went and engaged board. The method
was new to me, but it was pretty wise.
