Copyright, 1900, by c. B. Lewis)
When Mr.. Bowser arose the other
morning, there was an uncertain look
in his eyes-that is, Mrs Bowser was
not certain whether he was going up
street to blow up the butcher or down
astreet to blow UP the tailor. He was
moody and silent during breakfast,
and as he made no move to leave the
house after the meal, Mrs. Bowser
kindly inquired if he wasn't feeling
well.
I'm feeling we'll enough" he replied,
but l shall remain at home this fore
noon There are several little things l
want to look into and straighten out,
and one of them is right at the door
now"
Do you mean that fruit peddler?"
That's exactly what | mean. am
going to find out whether a man with
an old horse and a wabbly wagon has
any legal right to stop in front of my
house and shout and yell and Shrek

Just listen to him. By the living lingo
but It's no wonder that we've had five
neaths on this street within the last
two weeks"
But you-you won't go and say any
Shing to hint"

ne capped on his hat and opened the
door and hustled down the steps, while
the family cat and Mrs. Bowser looked
after hem.

The Ages or Statesmen,

London Telegraph: Not one of the
leaders of the French revolution at
tanned the age of so. 1t is true that
with the exception of Mirabeau and
Marat and a few minor figures their
lives were cut short by the guillotine.
Gensone, the eldest, was Al when he
went TO the scaffold; Leban was 25.
1t has been said that had they lived
they might have revised their work
and made it more lasting. Perhaps.
1t is very evident, however, that most
of u prominent statesmen are past
the meridian Of life. The average of
the present cabinet is 81, and many
of its members were born either in
July or August. Mr.. Chamberlain
celebrated his 9th birthday this
month, the duke of Devonshire his
67th and Mr.. Arthur Balfour his SD.
The oldest OF our ministers, Lord
Halsbury is rs; the youngest, Mr..
Walter Long, is 46. With the excep-
ton of Gambetta, Picard, Rochefort
and Ferry, the so-called founders of
the third republic were some nearer
60 than so, and two were past 20. We
do not include NJ. Theirs. This would
only prove that experience and wis
dom do not always come with age, for
there was a great deal of laundering
and muddling. One thing is, however,
certain: Wisdom does not come before
a certain age.
