ONE LANDLADY WAS UNUSUAL

Rad-Headed Boarder Said B he Was First Woman Who Could Literally Paint Food on Plate.

The red-headed and dissatisfied boarder was a large man with a large appetite. After dinner he went out into* the narrow yard, shook both his, fists at the silvery moon, hurled several imprecations toward the congress of the stafs, and burst forth into a picturesque flood of abuse which was devoted entirely to the landlady: One of the other boarders, who had been at the house a long time, thereby accumulating a pallid look and a palate with corns on it, drew near timidly and ventured to ask what the special kick was. "What’S the matter!” echoed the large man. “That Old dame’s the first woman I ever knew who could literally paint food on a plate.”—Popular Magazine.
