II presume &c." she said as she looked
over the contents Of the package. "You

her aside. II get the ROOTS make the beer

If you have any more sarcasm, go out and
talk to the lamppostl'
1t was fixed Idea in Mr.. Bowser's mind
that root beer was made from roots, but he
wasn't quite sure of the next step. After
getting down to the kitchen and thinking
it over for awhile, he decided that the roots
ought to be boiled, and he at once felt hap
pier for It, There was big kettle under
the sink which the cook used occasionally
on scrub days, and that was the very thing
for the roots. He went to work to clean it
out, and after laboring for five minutes he
decided that what little rust was left cling
ing to the sides and bottom wouldn't do
any particular hurt. In fact, 1t would
probably give the beer the right sort of
twang and help 1t to slip down easier. He
dumped the roots into the tub and soused
them with cold water, but was careful not
to get them too clean. When all was ready,
he put them into the kettle, poured in four
pals of water and started up the fire. The
spring tonic was at last under way. He
wanted to ask Mrs. Bowser how long it
ought to boil, but as she had taken up a
book and seemed to have no interest in his
proceedings lie determined to 60 1t alone.
After half an hour, however, and Just as
his stew had begun to boil, she came into
the kitchen to ask:
"What are you going to put into the beer
to make 1t work."
How wOrk.'
"Why, it's got to ferment or it won't have
any life to it. I believe they use yeast, but
we haven't got any"
He suddenly remembered to have heard
Rbout yeast in connection with root beer;
but, vexed at his own stupidity, he wouldn t
give in.
People who want yeast in their root
beer can have it," he said as he stirred up
the fire anew. II am making root beer
to please myself"
He had dim idea that an hours boiling
ought to extract all the virtue from tho
roots; but, not being sure Of 1t, he kept the
fire going for two, and every time the mess
in the kettle thickened up he poured in
more water. At length he decided that the
stuff was ready to ladle into the tub to
cool, but the work wasn't half finished
when Mr.. Bowser made up his mind that
1t wasn't fit for q pig to drink. He wasn't
going to admit 1t to Mrs, Bowser, how.
