whose motto had ever been: "Strlct
application to business" 1t had been
his custom. when the rest Of the fam

says, get good accommodation, an airy
room with sunny aspect. good seed,
water. bath, and unrestricted oppor-

cents a week. Last year, however, the
charge for the same accommodation
was raised to forty cents. and this year
