THE GREATEST RIDE IN HIS
TORY.

A territory of 27I,ooo square miles,
comprising Washington, Idaho and
Oregon as they are to-day, was saved
to the Union by one man. He had the
courage and heroism to ride on mule
back for three thousand miles. The
ride was thrilling, the trials and hard
ships marvellous, the result glorious
one. The whole story, beautifully il
lustrated, will be given in the Novem-

Nice dinner for hungry man to sit down
| to! I'm SO glad l didn't dine at the clubl"
1t was a dinner fit for any man to sit
down to, but Mrs. Bowser realized that
she would only make the matter worse by
| argument and therefore held her peace
or rather sought to change the conversn-
ton by telling him of street car accident
she had Witnessed that day.

ished. 1.-The motor lian had probably been
eating one of your salads, and that's the
teas1n he bumped into the wagon. The
wonder is that he cid not run over half a
dozen people"
Mrs. Bowser had intended to ask him to
take her to the thcater that evening, but
seeing how "off" he was she gave it up,
and on returning to the sitting room sat
down to n book, while he picked up his
newspaper. Mr.. Bowser didn't mean to
give it up that way, however, and after
| glancing over the paper he suddenly de-
| manded:
MRS Bowser is this house or wig
wam?"
"Why, what do you mean2"
Gust what said. If it's a house, then
we need housekeeper. If it's a wigwam,
or hole in the ground, or an Eskimo hut,

for 10 cents, and the girl is not as careful

Mr.. Bowser didn't know whether he had

but, as his object was to pass very pleas

thing else to find fault with, and soon dis
covered 1t. Said he

THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE PlAkG ,
PLEASANT EVENING.

He Says Few Things to Mrs. Bowscr,
but Makes Very Poor Progress and Fl
naiiy Gives Up the struggle-Just a Few
Domestic Boomerangs.
Nothing in particular ailed Mr.. Bowscr
when he started home from the Office, but
If the average husband doesn't make n kick
every so often he is not on good terms with
himself. The time had come for Mr.. Bow
ser to kick-and he lost no time after get
ting into the hall Mrs. Bowser was there
to welcome him, but he hung up his hat
and turned on her witb
woman, why don't you gather up all
the sheets and blankets and coats and hats
In the house and hang them on this hall
tree and make u regular May pole of itS'
There was only one extra hat on the tree
and that belonged to Mir. Bowser, and he
had hung it there, but Mrs. Bowser was
toe polite to dispute him. She led the
way to the dining room, and he scuffed
along after her, every footstep showing
that he was out of sorts and meant to raise
q row. Before sitting down to the table he
looked around, and his eye happened to
notice n crack in the glass over one of the
pictures, and he exclaimed:
loCen dU NpTk with Inc AK again, nave
your Why didn't you smash the whole of
'em while you were about itf'
Mr.. Bowser had cracked the glass him
self month before but why say so and
hear him deny it? He fell into his chair
at the head of the table with a growl, and
as Mrs. Dowser had planned an extra
good dinner she hoped the worst had
passed. 1t hadn't even begun, however.
What have you got bere-an old bootf"

sadly banged about When you wish to
exercise, why don't you hang up the punch
ing Tag instead of pounding the can
against the wallY am not fault finder,
but can { see my house 60 to destruction
without saying word now and then"
Mrs. Bowser looked up from her book,
lEt made no reply, and feeling tlst he
bad scored point Mr.. Bowser chuckled to
himself and presently observed:
There is another thing wish to speak
of now that happen to think of it. Most
women pride themselves on the smallness
and trinness of their feet. You seem to
haze no pride in that direction. If your
feet have splattered all over the house, /
am not going to blame you; but If it is
only the way you wear your shoes, then
I'll lend you Il pair of mine to reduce the

better for me. While other ladies won't
look at shoes at less than So must look

will kindly lend me pair of your shoes,
l will be ever SO much obliged"
That was another on Mr. Bowser, and
he turned rcd and white, and waited two
or three minutes before saying:

Mrs. Bowscr made no reply, but going
up stairs to her dresser she brought down
eight pairs of socks which were in perfect
condition and laid them before him

She had him ON that, and he realized
that he was getting the worst of 1t. He
therefore rose up and said:
