right off and read pour little novel, and
when the last tack IS driven I'll utter a
warwhoop to let you know"
Mrs. Bowser disappeared, and Mr.. Bow
ser rubbed his hands, drew long breath
and made grab at the big roll of carpet
He had clear floor and was soon hammer
ing in the tacks along one side of the
room. He wanted to surprise Mrs. Bowser
at the end of half an hour, but it came
much sooner. She looked in at the end of
seven or eight minutes and at once called
out:
Mr.. Bowser, what on earth are you do
ing?''
Doing the best job of carpet laying in
this town" he cheerily answered.
But you are putting it down without
any lining under it. There's the. lining
in that corner"
''Yes, see. Well, that's all right It's
the style now to put down carpets without
lining, and I supposed you wanted to fol-
low it. Just get right out and don t bother,
and I'll rip this up and fix things"
He ripped, and he fixed, and this time
Mrs. Bowser let him alone for a quarter
of an hour. By that time he had two sides
finished and was working on the third.
She looked about for moment and then
said:
Mr.. Bowser, do you know that carpets
are made to fit rooms?'
'Ive heard so,'' he replied as he looked
up.
"Well straighten this carpet out and
see how you are coming out. You've got
the ends for the sides. Therell be a foot
short on one end and foot too much Oh
the other
"Never, Mrs Bowser-never on the face
of this green earth! am neither cross
eyed nor an idiot, and [ say
''But look for yourself, - she interrupted
as she pulled the carpet over.
1t was true. Mr.. Bowser could have
claimed that the house had been turned
around since the carpet was taken up or
that some carpenter had sneaked in and
shifted the walls, but it didn't occur to
him. The only way out Of it was to say:
Mrs. Bowser, if you don't want a strip
Of bare floor at one end, according to Fifth
avenue style, there's no need of shouting
your lungs out. Twill thank you to vacate
this room while I Whirl the old thing
around
She vacated, and there was a rip, rip,
rip! as he seized the carpet and heaved
away and sent most of the tacks flying to
the ceiling. When he whirled the carpet
about, the house seemed to whirl with it,
and the family cat took skip for the
cellar to be prepared for emergencies.
After three or four minutes there came the
whack, whack, whack! Of the hammer,
but the noise did not last long. She heard
Mr. Bowser call out xxxxx! and iii
and xxx and as she opened the door he
was dancing about and holding his thumb.
''What is it now?"
ibid any one call you, Mrs. Bowsersn
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1897-10-30

he queried, making a great effort to ap-
pear calm and keep his heels on the floor.
No, but heard
Then you had better retire. When I
can't lay blamed old carpet without YOUR
help I'll go hang myselfr'
"Shan't l do it up in a rag?"
He pointed to the door with arm, stretched
out and she disappeared, and as there was
nothing in the room to kick or Jump on
he had to suck his thumb and walk around
until the pain subsidized. After a long ten
minutes had passed he began work again
and when five minutes had passed and no
fresh calamity had happened Mrs. Bowser
began to breathe easier. She waited ten
minutes more and then looked i'll. Mr..
Bowser had three sides of the carpet down,
but there were dozen creases and wrin-
kles running through it, and he realized
that they couldn't be Strengthened out
with any pulling he could do.
Il was afraid of that, she said as she
looked at the wrinkles.
Afraid of WHAT"
THAT you would get it squee jawed
around like this. That carpet will have to
come up. You didn't start it right to be-
gin with
''Oh, didn't! Perhaps I don't know
enough to come in when it rains. The
trouble with your internal old horse blan-
ket is that it never fitted the room in the
first place, but I'll make it fit or break
both legs"
Mrs. Bowser returned to her rocker and
Mr.. Bowser braced himself for new eff
fort. His mind was made up to pull the
wrinkles out Of the carpet or pull the
house across the street, and he kicked off
his slippers, moastened his hands and made
a sudden jump for the largest one to take
it by surprise. He had scattered his tacks
with lavish hand, and as he jumped he
landed on about IA of them which were in
position to puncture his tire. The yell he
uttered sent the cat out of the cellar win
dow, the cook out of the back door and
Mrs. Bowser into the room Mr.. Bowser
was lying ON his back with both feet hoist
ed up, and, readily divining what had hap
pened, she rushed over to him and went to
work. He had dim idea that at least
400 tacks were sticking into the soles of
his feet, but he was away off. There were
only six in the right foot and five in the
left, and not one of them had gone in over
three inches. Not word was said willis
she was extracting them, zot a word
while he was hobbling into the other room

SHORTHAND IN coURTsH1p

The conference of shorthand writers in
connection with the celebration of the
diamond jubilee" of Pitman's system
discussed some unusual applications of
shorthand. One fervids gentleman en-
larged on the advantages of the ssswift
art" as help to courtship. How much
gushing affection, the speaker asked

letters in longhand? The shorthand wr,.
ting swain, penning his tender epistles to
the Photographic maiden, is free from
this difficulty. His intensest feelings he
can express in fluent strokes and curves
the moment they stir within him. This
suggestion brought up another speaker.
who favored his hearers with little rem
iniscence. In remote days he had desired
to putto certain young lady certain
question, to which he feltdificulty in
giving utterance A happy thought struck
him; he would put the question ON paner
in the symbols of shorthand. This would
be mysterious to the lady; she would sst,
him to read the question, and his diff
oulties would at once disappear. Man
proposes, but things do not always work
out as he desires. The young ladv az.
hibited no curiosity, but quietly pocketed
the shorthand. At the next interv;avv
with her lover she calmly told him that
she had unrayeled his message, and was
prepared to give an affirmative renJv
The willy maiden had sent the shortband
proposal to Sir Isaac Pitman who had
supplied her with the translation

MY THOuGHT-AMD HERS?

The gray of the sea and the gray of the sky,
q glimpse of the moon like half closed eye,
The CLEAN on the waves and the lights on the
land,
A thrill in my heart-and my sweetheart's
hand.
She turned from the sea with woman's grace,
And the light fell soft on her upturned face,
And thought of the hoodtide of infinite bliss
That would flow to my soul with single kiss.
But nv sweetheart is shy, so dared not ask
For the boom so bravely wore the mask:
But into her face there came flame
wonder could she have been thinking the
same?
