my wife has been putting in most of

like this:
The wife starts out bright and
early every morning, just as soon as
she gets me off to the office, with an
advertised list OF boarding houses with
her. She makes the rounds of a whole
lot of them, and out of the lot she Sc
lects two or three for me to look over.

Veteran Saloonkeeper at Vancouver
WASH, RevoIutionizes His
Business

VANCOUVER, Wash, July 23.-Af-
ter having sold whisky for more than
26 years, Michael Boyham has quit the
saloon business and established a soft
drink parlor, where he dispenses ice
cream sodas, root beers, various col
ored soda pops, cigars and tobaccos.
For many years Boyham was q
wealthy man. Just before the panic of
1898. he signed number of notes. The
panic came, and as he was the only
one that had property. he lost every
cent he had in the world
But he kept running his saloon and
little by little he paid off the debts.
Just a year ago he had paid off the
last of the notes. The interest was
larger than the principal.
II have been making them drunk for
over a quarter of a century. but now
am making them sober. if 1 can,
