Strange Way OF Showing Respect.

A widow living in Maine has adopted
strange methods of showing respect
for her departed husband. She runs
single handed, n big boarding house,
as tribute to her former hclpmects
memory. The guests are people who
attend the Methodist camp meeting
The wOmans husband was clergy
man, and he had conducted the board
ing house for the benefit of visitors to
;hc camp meeting for over twenty
years A few years since he died, lcav-
ing his widow the house ana enough
TO live on comfortably. She did not
do what her friends expected, which
was to go and live with her prosper
Gus children, nor did she decide TO live
alone and enjoy ease in her old age.
She just kept on running the boarding
house, as her husband had done, and
she decided to run the hotel on her
own plan. She did not undertake TO
net as chambermaid. manager, clerk
and bellboy all In one, because IL was
not necessary for her TO follow such
an economical plan, but because she
wanted to have her hands full of
work. SO she cleans every day from
June to December, thirty-nine rooms,
makes mp forty-one beds and looks
after the comfort Of the occupants,
though she is seventy years old.
She has not solitary assistant in the
labor of running the house Her work
begins at q in the summer mornings
and continues until 10 o'clock, and she
cooks three meals daily. Nothing in
the administration of the house is
handed over To assistants. For the
three months preceding the middle of
September this work continues with
out interruption from morning until
night every day. After the guests
have left there is winter of rest,
until the annual cleaning comes.
Every room in the house is put in
order, and all of this is done 10y the
aged owner of the house. Chicago
