keepers to test the exact truth But the facts In of these encomiums the case would seem to prove beyond cavil that even if Mrs Murray were not the best boarding house keeper In history she at least is to be numbered among the chosen few Seldom Left Her Boarders One may best judge tbe hold sbe bad upon her boarders by the term of years each one has been with her Here Is tbe list of her boarders and

thought It would be fine to have the Inspector live there with him The spector liked the Idea of living with his own kin but he put off going as long as possible Finally he packed fits belongings and stole away to bis new home Went Back to Miss Murray But be was ill at ease in bis new His brother and his brothquarters er’s wife and his gay young nieces and nephews wondered to see him stt In moody silence and to hear him pace the floor of his room until far Into the Then one morning" his room night In his brother’s luxurious home was found empty The had Inspector packed his things and gone back to Miss Murray’s In the night As a model boarding house keeper Miss Murray was no accident She fitted herself by years of study experiment and bard work In her old age she is able to formulate certain rules which she says tf lived up to rigidly will enable other boarding house keepers to achieve success are Here some of the rules: Give everybody plenty to eat Make tbe food plain and good Make the table and house homelike A man Don’t run too much to style would rather have a thick Juicy beefsteak than cut glass and fancy silver Put everything on the table at once and let the boarders help themselves Try to Please Them If Cater to Individual appetites one wants his steak well done and another wants it rare cook their steaks separately Do your own and make marketing marketing a study Make good coffee Bad coffee has been responsible for more boarding one house failures than any other thing Have specialties In cooking — dishes that you cook differently from anybody else and that your boarders cannot get anywhere except at your own table Do your own cooking Have your table linen and dishes specklessly clean Never serve any dish that Is not as good as you know how to mdke It If slightly burned or faulty In any respect throw It away Have plenty of hot water In the house at all times Have a certain hour for meals and serve them promptly on the hour Keep your rooms clean and have plenty of bedclothes In cold weather Have all men as your boarders or all women Never try to mix men and women As boarders they won’t mix Men are preferable Mother your men Darn their socks and sew their buttons on keep their clothes in repair and attend to their laundry - Permit bo liquor to be Urotgbt into the house Enforce good behavior but allow your boarders plenty of liberty Let your boarders play poker If they want to but stop tbe game at midnight and don’t let them play for high stakes Be an easy boM Make your your boys Listen to their troubles Give them advice when they ask It Remember the boarding house la their borne as well as yours Miss Murray has given her best thought to her boarding bouse She has turned hundreds of persons away who asked to become members of her family she boasts that she never has had a dissatisfied boarder and never lost a boarder except from death or matrimony Hers was no boarding house where the “boarders yell when they hear the dinner bell" She became known as tbe best cook In Chicago Each of her meals was an event In the careers of her boarders' who came to the table always with smiles of anticipatory Joy Miss Murray’s boarding bouse Is a modest brick with basement wedged In between two big facIt was once In the tory buildings midst of a residence district but Its neighboring residences have been torn down one by one and replaced by factories and business houses until Miss Murray’s house has been left stranded high and dry the one lone residence But of the neighborhood despite the' dingy environment Miss has Murray’s boarding house preserved Its prestige Brisk despite her years and with her motherly face framed by hair Miss Murray sat the other day after her retirement by one of her front windows and looked out Into the street as If she wished one of her “boys" would swing open the iron plates of her small front yard and tlimb the front steps to supper Feels Lonesome “It’s a lonesome world” she said “No one can know Just how lonesome I feel Many mothers lose their sons one by one but mine have all gone away together "Such a fine lot they were! They were like own sons to me — always thinking of tbe things I should like how to save me work how to make me happy “Many a time I have lectured them Many a time I have given them sound advice Not one ot my boys ever went And to think I should have to wrong turn them out into the streets!” It isn’t hard to explain Miss Murray’s influence over her boarders She radiates happiness and contentment and a sharp Irish wit gleams through all her talk Tbe years have made her a philosopher “I was born in Ireland” she con“But I came to this country tinued when I was a small child My parents settled In Iowa and filter came to ChiI learned to cook from my cago I first started my mother boarding house fifty years ago at 132 North Union street in the heart of a railt road district years ago I bought my present house “I have always done my own marI think keting and my own cooking for my that is chiefly responsible success Most people think men are hard to cook for They are not have had no difficulty in pleasing my men "Cooney liked his steak well done: Inspector Wheeler liked his so rare that the blood follows tbe knife Doctor Quinn liked It pounded before cooking Beal liked It with Just a little Tim Daley melted butter for gravy liked brown gravy and plenty of It It didn’t take much longer to send the meat to the table the way they wanted It and It didn't cost any more" Didn’t Want Any Women “Why didn’t you take in women as boarders?" Miss Murray was asked “Men and women don’t mix well In a boarding house” she replied “If men don’t care fur the women they don't like them a'ound and if they do care for them there are sure to be I decided unpleasant complications at the outset to have only men ss boarders They ire not so fussy as women T wouldn’t hve all women under women circumstances any Only boarders would make any boarding house keeper’'- life a burden They require too nrch waiting on and are constantly fussing and raising a rumI don’t care to have pus over trifles them around” "Did you always keep your boarders’ clothes In order?" What’s darning a few ’Oh yes It socks or doing a little patching? and it sort didn't amount to anything The of rested me after the cooking bqys didn’t want me to do It In fact a good deal about It they complained at first but I made them behave themselves about that as I did everyelse” thing “You acted as their guardian tuen?” “In a way yes treated them just as though they were "my children They had all the liberty they warned but I saw they didn’t ajjuse It— and they never tried to Most of m boarders came to me when they were Just starting out in life They were away from home and there were a great If I many temptations around them or dissaw any of them discouraged heartened or getting u Httla too giddy I Just waited until there was a chance and talked over things with them After such a talk the young fellows would stop to think and when they realized that I was worrying about them they would straighten up and do better Just because of my Interest In never tried to run my boys them but I wanted them to understand distinctly that anything thai went wrong with them was hard oti - CHAS LAM MERSBOUF Pros IIANS TUFT A V tlUISII Cashier DIRECTORS— Chas Lsmmoradorf Hans Tuft W H Brown V C P Fwvell Huish A James gensen Scorup s Chris Jor- First State BANK Salina of Drafts drawn on all tbe principal cities of tbe United States and Europe Banking in all its various forms Accounts Respectfully Solicited Four per cent interest paid on time deposits ' SAUSAGE Fresh and Fine used to Like Mother make Choicest line of MEATS and GROCERIES Froit The White G- W - LONG and CASKETS and Burial Supplies- COFFINS - stock at my store imported from leading’ deal- You can examine the goods and make seletion at ' any moment Call in and see my stock of burial goods H kept in Furniture Store!
