TIP TO MAMMAS.
If Burdened With Daughters, Keep q
Boarding House.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
The question Of matrimony, a most per-
picking one at times, to every woman, adj
mits of many solutions, and one of the
latest has been achieved by an Ameri-
can widow, possessed of three charming
daughters, beautiful in all respects, but
unfortunately not possessed of the finances
to enhance these numerous charms. The
aforesaid widow, with marked intrepidity,
decided to do little speculation in the
matrimonial line: and her efforts SO far
have been crowned with success.
The widow and her daughters hied them
selves to small Kentish town which is
noted as health resort and notorious
for its starvation fare boarding houses
Here one is compelled TO pay exorbitant
rates for the simpler necessities OF life and
even then must receive third-rate fare.
The widow, believing in the saw that the
easiest and quickest way to mans heart
was through his stomach, set to work.
leased one of the SWEETEST houses in that
vicinity and wheedled the landlord into
letting her keep boarderS His consent OBJ
tanned, she engaged French chef, hung
out her sign and awaited results. Before
many days she had out her s. K. o. sign,
and at the end of two weeks time had
to call in police aid to keep off would-bo
dodgers. Her fame has spread across two
continents, her financial status has taken
victory of all, one daughter is already dis
posed of, and 1t is only a question of time
before numbers two and three will follow.
So much for American ingenuity and pluck.
Speaking seriously, however, there should
be a wealth of money in boarding houses
and hotels if one has the business capacity
for attending to work of this order. Right
here in Memphis there is a crying need
for boarding houses and the demand Is
increasing every day. Boarding houses Of
a better class and on a better scale than
are now operated are needed and there
should be no hesitancy in supplying the
demand.
The average boarding house we all know.
1t has been made the subject of more
columns in the comic papers than any
other hard-worked joke except the mother
in-law, perhaps. This holds the record;
but the boarding house joke comes next.
But to the man who has had experience,
there is no humor about 1t at all. In
fact it is a matter not for levity, but
for serious consideration. Prices are found.

ice poor, fare well-nigh uneatable, and yet
the cry goes up: mo money in keeping

Fully an hour before the time set for the open ing of the meeting several thousand clti- zens, male and female. and in the main Republican, had gathered in the huge hall Shortly before 9 a group of gentle men looking somewhat seif-conscious, was seen entering.

The President bowed. smiled waved his hand in a familiar way to a private friend. whom he had recognized in one of the boxes. and at last sat down. I noticed, quite dspassionately, though l confess regretfully, that his dress suit seemed little too large for him, and that he wore it rather ungracefully.
