.Jt is a fact dat interests me much,
saws whiskers dat de hotel which charges
fifteen cents for full dinner. ana twenty
five cents for a bed room, is paying oe
owner five per cent net on MS invest
ment''
Surely SAYS Mr. Paul, lit is interest
ing to loin dat dere is any KIND Oh use
for money which pays five per cent. WI
dat happy assurance all dat man needs
to make an income is de money TO invest
for to get it, and, wit an income, any man
may be happy if he only knows how. But
de example you cites, sir, goes on MT
Paul. calls to me mind de fact DAT DE
hotel which charges ten dollars LOT us
cheapest bed ROOM and meals are not soiVed
dat costs less dan five dollars each, Is not
paying ground taxes for de owner
How do you make out dat?' asks
Whiskers. .,,
1T is a question which 1 will shortly
write a niece for de papes about" says Mr.
Paul Il has give de study much taught,
and am prepared to disclose me nhdlhgs
to a delighted woild only ] has not Deen
able to find pen in de house dd' WHINE III,
to shed ink except at wholesale. De MAN.
ner of de matter is dis: De builder ana
promoter of de five dollar meal hotel wds
wise onto de proposition dat WASH 1ust
Mr. Paurs woids, but dey is what ne meant
dat dere is many good cltZenS oi uese
United States dat has more money uah
dey has notions how to separate derselVes
from it, While has many goou ioik III
New York who get along on Tree oI ioul
hundred dollars per year also mas
number who are trying to spend quarieL
of a million a year in de manner which VIII
call de most attention to der eXceiehl e.
forts to keep money circulating But 90
dose good folk want to CIRCULATE delr soou
long green in de dark? No, sir! Dere is
noting dey is ashamed of in de business.
Dey do not believe in hiding de good dat
dere is In de woid. De example OF proper
conduct Is worth much, and de foiks VINO
are parting wit one-fort million year
want de wold to see and copy.
Surely, den,'' says Whiskers, de hun
bred dollars a day hotel was de very place
dey was looking for.
But de stage settings was all wrong
from de start" says Mr.. Paul DE dining
rooms of dis notable hotel are string OF
small rooms almost cut off from each odder
Dere is no chance for a crowd IN any one
of 'em, and de good man who is going TO
spend hundred for a slight repast might
as we'll be spending ten cents for FRANK
fortes and sauerkraut down a dark alley
for all de good he gets out of de hotel He
doesn't go to dat hotel to play blind-man's
buff Dat was de mistake of de builder.
have a plan to fix de ting all right for him.
1t is a hard job. De builders plans was on
de blink to begin wit. De dining rooms are
strung around tree sides of a hollow square
so l shall recommend dat a curious and
nicely adjusted series of mirrors be placed
at angles of de corners so dat de diner at
de southeast corner gets full view of de
grub and rum solved to de gent at de mort
west table, around tree or four toinings
Den, sir, you will see de folks flock to de
hotel in such numbers dat de resolves will
have to be called wit nightSticks drawn
for to keep de hungry guests in line for DER
toin "a de tables Sir it is strange dat
when a gent is passing out a little matter
