$500. That was another of my fads,
fancies or mistakes. When l sat down
here I was feeling glad I had a home.
I anticipated a pleasant evening. You
realized it, and in your malignancy
you began to talk about my mistakes"
''Why, Mr.. Bowser, you brought up
the subject yourself" she explained.
"You began to talk about the COW, the
pigs, the hens"
Never, Mrs. Bowser-never on this
earth! There may be men who have
fads, but | am not one of them. There
may be men who have made failures in
cows, chickens, pigs, medicine-chests,
fire-escapes and mind-reading, but l
have never heard of them"
"And you-you have never made any
mistakes?" she gasped.
"Never! Not a mistake from the era
die up to this date, except in marrying
you! That was a mistake, as we both
realize; but it is not irreparable. Our
respective lawyers can get together to-
morrow and fix things in an hour or
So"

good-evening and hope for your future
welfare and prosperity. Good-evening,
Mrs. Bowser, goodevening to you!"

| do you know, began Alr. BOWSer,
as he lighted his after-dinner cigar the
other evening and looked at Mrs. Bow
ser with laugh in his eyes-"do you
know that l came near buying dozen
chickens to-day to set up hennery in
the back yard?'
"But YOU didn't?" she asked, as she
caught her breath.
"No, didn't, for wonder, and you'll
have to tally one to my credit. 1t would
be funny to have chickens out there,
wouldn't it"
'It would be an awful nuisance, and
1 am glad you abandoned the idea"
"When I think of the many fads
have INDUCED in during the last Is
years 1 have to ha! ha! hal" laughed
Mr.. Bowser, as he slapped his leg. I've
done lots of queer things, Ell? You
must have thought me crazy some OF
the time"
Mrs. Bowser looked at him in doubt.
She realized, as every wife of year
experience does, that a too good
natured husband is to be dreaded as
much as one in a tantrum, and she felt
it wise to turn the conversation. Be-
fore she could invent an excuse to
change the subject he continued:
"Ha! ha! ha! was laughing to my
self this afternoon about that pig we
bought five or six years ago, and, what
trouble he made for us. Didn't we have
time, thought No wonder the neigh
bors were down on me for year aft
erwards. Do you remember how you
pitched into me?"
"I-I had forgotten all about it, she
stammered, as she reached for the
evening paper. "Any exciting news to-
day?"
Nothing of account. And say-ha!
ha! ha!-do you remember of my buy
ing that new milch COW? We were to
have our own fresh milk, you know,
and lots of it, and paid $40 for an old
COW which went dry in four weeks.
Lord, but it would have taken a dozen
men to keep the flies off that old cow!
They lighted on her by the million.
You knew l was making a fool of my
self, but l couldn't see it. Funny,
wasn't it?"
"Did you notice what the weather is
to be tomorrow" she carelessly
queried.
"And [ built hen-coop and kept
hens-ha! ha! hal" he went on, as he
grew more good-natured. 'Two roos-
ters, you know, and both growing at
the same time from midnight to day
light, Do YOU remember bow Davis
used to cuss and swear, and how
Thompson was going to blow up the
coop with dynamite? Say, when [
think of those things-!"
And Mr.. Bowser slapped both legs
and laughed loud and long over the
recollection. When he had got his
breath again he asked:
did you ever count up the number
of fads l have INDUCED in?"
"No, indeed" she replied.
"But I've had dozens of EN-"
"They didn't do any great harm.
Shall we go out somewhere this even
ing?"
What would you say were my great
est mstakes?" he persisted, worrying
at the subject like a dog at an old boot
leg.
Mrs. Bowser saw that there was no
escape from a row unless she tainted
away, and as she couldn't do that with
out better excuse she thought for a
moment and then replied:
''You have had some curious fancies,
like plenty of other men, but they
brought no harm. 1t was funny that
you should take up mind-reading.'
$50 it was-ha! ha! hal"
"And you were determined to ride a
