euecr Origin of "a Hotel.

They say that the best hotel in Texas
is to be found at Bolton, town on the
Santa Fe road and is kept by ''seven
sanctitied sisters, as the proprietors
are popularity called, Several years ago
a woman in the place and her husband
quarreled over the best way of ex
pounding the Scriptures to Sunday
school class and were SO stubborn that
they separated and were finally di-
vorctd.
This family controversy was taken
up by the town, which was soon dis
tinctly divided between the adherents
of the husband and the adherents of the
wife The result was large crop of di'
vorces, and seven husbandless women,
including the original cause of the COM
motion, Joined together and rented the
town hotel. One of them did the cook
ing. another was parlor maid, third
made up the beds, and so they divided
the work among them and ran the es'
tablishment on the cooperative plan. :
