Are you never going home:" he
roared at me.
Il am. Bcnjamin-going home tomor-
row night. but meanwhile don't you
get too colty. IF you do. I'll change
my mind and stay Il month longer"
He reached home at 6 o'clock p. m.
without having anything to kick about,
but after dinner he told Mrs: Bowser
that he had been advised by the doc
tor to drink three quarts of goats milk
a day to get the acid out of his blood
and that he should probably buy four
goats during the evening. She, poor
soul. hadn't any objection to make, but
turned to him with:
"Benjamin. what particular acid is
it in your blood"
ATS what causes rheumatism" he
answered.
When have you had rheumatism"
'I've got it now"
"Whereabouts?"
"In my legs

Saturday.-As I was to start for
home today Mr.. BowSer made it Il holi-
day and day of rejoicing. At break
fast l had to warn him that If he
wanted better coffee he might go to Il
hotel. ana at 10 o'clock interfered to
prevent him from buying an oyster
farm and raising his own oysters. but
we got him through the rest of the day
without trouble. He took me to the
depot in cab and said he was sorry

him and offered to put in two weeks
more. and then he hurried out. knew
what would happen. His nent up feel
ings had to find escape. and they were
escaping as my train moved away

Thursday.-When Mr.. Bowser came
home this evening, he was in good ma
ture. and after dinner he suggested
trolley ride by moonlight. Amanda
was ready to put on her nat at once,
but 1 took him out into the back yard
and said:
benjamin, you took a moonlight
trolley ride not long ago. You first
got mad because Amanda complained
of a headache. Then you roared at a
passenger who happened to step on
your toes. Then you yelled at the con-
ductor because the current happened
to be shut off for a minute, and before
YOU had got a mile you called fat
man a hog and got into fight"
II don't allow anybody to walk on
me-" says Mr.. Bowser in reply.
"But are you going out with chip
ON your shoulder? If you are, you can
60 alone. Neither myself nor Amanda
wants to carry a club or get into
row. If you can sit still and look at
the moon and be civil ITO the other pas
sengers, we will so, but otherwise
not"
We went. 1t was hard for him to
behave, but by pointing my finger at
him now and then I kept him in sub
lection. and no one was murdered.
Friday.-Mr. Bowser sat down to
breakfast. He growled out that the
chop wasn't fit for dog to eat and
was going to say that Mrs. Bowser
probably ordered the cook to drive
tacks into it to spite him when I re-
marked:
sThat will do for this time, Benja-
min. / knew when you were glad
enough to get Goldfish for breakfast,
and 1 don't want to hear a word
against mutton chops" 49,.

R REACHED home this morning
b after q visit of three weeks to
E my son-in-law, Mr.. Bowser. In
previous articles 1 have related
several little incidents of the first two
weeks. AS to the third week, | will
take the days in rotation.
Monday.-When Mr.. Bowser came
home from the Office this evening, he
was scouting his feet and had his
shoulders bumped up. He kicked the
gate open. and between the gate and
the steps he picked up an old teaspoon
which some boy must have tossed into
the yard. He ascended the steps with
that spoon waving in the air, and,
mistaking me for Amanda. he cried
out:
More waste and extravagancet An
other milestone ON the road to the
poorhouse! Woman, will there ever
be an end to this?''
There viii be, Benjamin Burton
Bewser," said 1. There will be an
end right here and now. If you have
come home tonight with scrap under
your hat, I'll see that you are not dis
appointed
.Bnt here is spoon which has care
iessiy been thrown out, as have thou
sands and thousands of others" he
protested.
.sThen we'n throw it in again. and
you may eat ii. /"
Mr.. Bowser was grouty all the even
Ing. but that made no difference to me.
By bedtime he seemed to have re-
solved to make the best of things. and
: ne went to bed without slamming doors
or kicking over chairs.
Tuesday.-Before leaving for the Of
fce in the morning Mr.. Bowser talked
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1902-12-03

about huyIng hog. but sat down On
him at once. He came home to dinner
without finding any spoons. but. he
was just in time to meet the icelnan,
who had bill of a dollar or so to
collect.
by the great horn spoon" yelled
Mr. Bowser. 'but what does this
mean? Must submit to these bold
faced robberios every day in the year"
BENJAMIN" said / as I laid my
hand ON his arm. you've had a lump
OF ice day fer the last month, and
there's the bill for it. The ice hasn't
been burned in the range nor given
away to tramps 1t has been used to
preserve your meats ard vegetables
and furnish ice water. and you'll pay
for it and hang on to your breath
He looked around for I; crowbar with
which to strike me dead. but not find
ing any he paid the bill and sat down,
with q sigh. Later in the evening he
observed that if ever he were left a
iwidower he wouldn't marry the best
woman on earth. and l replied:
Benjamin. don't fret your gizzard.
Amanda will outlive you by ten years.
and your mother-in-law will probably
be holding your hand when you pass
away"
Wednesday.-At o'clock in the
morning I thought I heard somebody
sneak downstairs. and a little later l
looked out of back window and saw
Mr.. Bowser making for the alley.
When l had dressed and got down. a
man who had horse to sell was show
ing the animal off and boasting that he
belonged to the Seek No Further breed.
Mr.. Bowser was hesitating about clos
ing a sale for $50 when opened the
alley gate and said:
Benjamin. amt you a little afraid
that this early morning air will have
bad effect on your asthma:
Ill was looking at horse" he
stammered in reply.
$50 I observe. I can see from here
that he has two spavins and ring
bone, and If he isn't blind he ought at
least to wear spectacles. l heard him
spoken Of as Seek No Further. That's
correct. Benjamin. He won't have to
seek no further for woman who
knows 6 horse from giraffe. don't
think this is your horsy day"
He looked at me for minute as If he
meant to have my life, and the man
with the horse said he killed his moth
er~in-law seventeen years ago, but it
ended IL benjamin going down into his
boots. It's wise man who knows his
mother-in-iaw.
