ING GOWN.

the grip and the medical profession
combined, he felt it his duty to assume
a serious look and that it
was an aggravated case and might
terminate In pneumonia.
The patient was to take three kinds
of medicine, summon up all his will
power and remain in bed for at least
two weeks. He also inquired if Mr..
Bowser had his life insured and his
house in order. In taking his leave
he observed that nine out of ten cases
of the grip were proving fatal and
that fat men were being moved down
like grass.
AT 1920 Mr.. Bowser felt hot flashes
n cold shivers, and a dog howled dis
mally in front of the house. He didn't
inquire as to the color of the dog, but
he felt more shivers as he heard the
bowls. He acknowledged that he was
q frank and a kicker and begged Mrs.
Bowser to turn his pillow over and
forgive a dying man. He said he
didn't want to be buried in Connect
cut, but wouldn't raise a fuss about it.
At II o'clock there were more shiv-
ers, and he had a hot 1atiron at his
feet and a cup of hot tea: also held
Mrs. Bowser's hand and said he vas
sorry for finding fault with the gas
bill.

But 1t is a mild attack, and you

That was the beginning of the day.
At 8 o'clock Mrs. Bowser brought up
some tea and toast, and Mr.. Bowser

that he was not long for this world.
His voice was very p~laintive as he
said 1t.
At half past 8 he called Mrs. Bowser
up to say that his head ached, his feet
were cold and he wanted a quiet fu-
neral in case of death. She assured
him that n day in bed would prob
ably effect a cure, but he sighed and
shook his head and hoped he would
have his senses to the last.
At 10 o'clock the doctor arrived.

and Mrs. Bowser went down and child

Live Away"
AT l o'clock Mr.. Bowser seemed to
be asleep, but rs Mrs. Bowser wiped
a tear off his cheek he opened his eyes
and said that if he was to live his life
over again he'd never buy a fire escape
or a new milk COW without her con-
sent. He would like to live on for her
sake, but felt that he was called to go.
More toast and tea, and he ate heartily
for a dying man. Pillow turned over
and the cat hustled out of the room.
AT 2 o'clock the doctor came again.
He looked more serious than before
and sounded Mr.. Bowser's lungs.
Seemed to take a secret satisfaction in
humping him well. Announced that
there was no sign of pneumonia yet,
but advised the utmost caution against
exposure or excitement. Said that
most of his patients who died heard a
dog howl a few hours before dissolu-
ton. 1t was just possible that he
could pull the case through, but
As soon as he had departed Mr.. Bow
ser had four shivers in succession and
gave Mrs. Bowser a list of debts to
be paid after he had become an angel.
AT 8 o'clock the patient tried to sing
a hymn. but gave it III in the middle of
the first verse and asked Mrs. Bowser
if she could possibly forgive him for
jawing around when the coal was out.
She wiped the tears from his eyes and
kissed him, and he whispered that he
was sorry for calling his mother-in-law
a human hyena.
AT 4 o'clock the patient felt a erin
king of his toes, accompanied by a
twitching of the ears, and he declared
his belief that they were signs of dis
solution. He recalled the fact that he
had once come home and raised a great
row over finding a clothespin in the
front yard, and he wanted to die know
ing that Mrs. Bowser had forgiven
him. Forgiveness was extended, and
he was assured that he had many
years of life still before him. This
cheered him for a moment, but a new
buzzing in TIE ears admonished him
that his stay in this cold world might
be brief.
At 5 o'clock more toast and tea.
While the patient ate and drank he
said that he was leaving the best wife
in all the world behind him and that
he deserved booting for the way he
had held her responsible for broken
windows and burst water pipes. He
spoke of the cat as if she were a hui
man being and wondered if she would
miss him; wondered how he could have
ever beer 10 foolish as TO try to ride q
bike.
AT 6 o'clock the patient felt that
pneumonia had seized him in it's deadly
clutch and that two hours more would
witness the end; held Mrs. Bowser's
hand and asked her forgiveness for
saying that she had no system about
housekeeping; referred to his mother
in-law again and left her several fare
well messages.
At Z o'clock, as Mrs. Bowser sat
downstairs and her patient was sup
posed to be asleep, MI. Bowser sudden

"Good gracious" she exclaimed.
"But you-you''-

Platform of Chicago Democratic Ju.
diciaI Convention Will Contain
That Plank.

Chicago, April 1.-THE democrat
lie judicial convention a week from to-
day will be asked to adopt a platform
pledging the nominees to discourage
issuing injunctions against unions in
time Of labor trouble. Heretofore ju-
dicial conventions, democratic and re-
publican, have avoided making plat
forms. The proposed platform is in
part as follows:
Believing that a government OF the peo-
pie may be Entrusted to the representa-
tives of the people, and believing that ev-
cry step in the extension of liberty has
been achieved by evolt from ancient
definitions of rights, and by opposing the
tendency toward restraints of liberty and
of coISract relationships with employers,
and opposing the use of courts for the
suppression of just and natural rights, we
declare ourselves opposed to the Drin-
ciple Of government by injunction and to
summary proceedings In case of con-
structive coatelnpts.
1t is now practically certain the dem
ocratic convention, dominated by Har-
riSon, viii decline to continue the nom
partisan judiciary scheme. Under this
scheme Judge Hanecy hoped to get on
the ticket again, and without opposition
to be elected. But the feeling against
him has been SO bitter thai thousands
of republicans voted for Harrison in
order to enable him to dominate the
democratic convention, Harrison hav-
ing pledged himself to oppose the non
partisan plan and insist on a full demo-
cratic ticket.

HOW Beers HELD OUT.
General viIjoen in Lecture at Cam
bridge Doesn't Do Much to the
British Army Administration.

Cambridge, Mass, April 14.-General
Ben Viljoen, second in command of the
Boer arny lectured upon some phases
of the South African conflict before the
Harvard union asst night. He re-
ceived a most enthusiastic greeting.
He related his experiences With a
small force in ~prolonging the fight
against the British, and then criticised
the British army, saying it's chief fault
was a lack of independence of the SOL
der. He said the British soldier could
not shoot, having little or no knowl-
edge Of firearms.
In rushing camp and capturing
it the Beers found the soldiers a
been shooting at 1900 yards range
throughout the time the Beers were
creeping up. He said the Beers lived
on whatever they captured from the
British army, and for nine months
went without salt.
In conclusion, Viljoen said England
had promised to give them fair treat
ment and later what would be prac-
tically freedom. At present the Beers
We're merely a conquered people in the
worst poverty. He said the reason the
war lasted two years after the Beers
case became hopeless was because they
We're cut off from outside communica-
ton and We're looking for a Lafayette
or a Dewey to turn up to aid them III
their fight.

P%ERsRING's VICTORY.
General Davis cabled Report Gives
High Credit for Work Of the
Force Taking Bacoiod.

Washington, April 14.-General DAVIS
has cabled a report of Captain Pershing's
attack upon the Moro fortress at Bacolod.
He says:
Repeated efforts were made to induce
the sultan to come to Camp Wears for Il
friendly talk, but he never came. When
Pershing approached the fort last Monday
he was fired upon and two men severely
wounded. There was nothing left but to
overcome the resistance. The place was
very strong, surrounded by a ditch thirty
feet deep. The first attack drove the de-
tenders out of the exterior trench.
April 5 the fort was assaulted n
the ditch crossed under fire, over a bam-
boo bridge made by the troops. The wall
of the fort was scaled, the Moros inside
defending the place desperately.
by 2 p. m. our troops were in full pos
session. Many of the Moros were killed.
The complete list of our casualties show
eleven wounded.
previous study of the situation, care
full preparation and disposition of forces,
accounts for the small loss of our troops,
ably commanded by Captain Pershing. He
has moved forward to complete his eXplor-
alton and visit the friendlies, his objec-
tive point being Marahui, where l have
forwarded supplies from Pantar, near the
outlet to the lake"
Manila, April 14.-The investment of
Bacolod, island of Mindanao, which was
captured by Pershing's forces after a
fight IN which 100 Moros We're killed,
occupied three days. The final assault
was made at o Wednesday. 1t was
desperate and eleven Americans Cnot
three az previously cabled) We're
wounded, a few Of them seriously. 1t
is probable all the Americans will re-
cover. The sultan Of Bacolod is be-
lieved to have escaped.
