being versatile.

The Human Appetite.

OF all the whimsical. shifting. unre-
liable. treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor it; 9TH
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con-
sideration. To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered, at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted to
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city, Try t
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule of the Palace.
