The cat was sitting up in the chimney
corner and wheeling and gurgling. Mrs.
Bowser knew that she was having a
cat-laugh all by herself, and probably
at Mr.. BOwser's remarks, but It wasn't
good policy to say so. He picked up the
paper and read for another ten minutes
but his mind was on that Chicago man
and he harked back by saying:
Yes, it served him just right, and L
don't blame the boys a bit. BY George,
but"
It was the cat again, and, seeing Mr..
Bowser glazing at her. she fed under
the lounge He got down on hands and
knees to shoe her out, but suddenly re-
membered his dignity and got up again
to say:

BOWSERsS DIGNITY.
He Takes a Little Walk and Leaves It
Behind Him.

Mr.. Bowser had been reading his
evening paper for half an hour when
he suddenly looked up with the re-
mark;
1T was all the mans fault He
ought to have had more dignity"
What is it. dear2" asked Mrs. Bow
ser.
"A citizen Of Chicago was walking on
the street when the boys began snow
balling him He lost his temper. and
while trying to overtake one of the boy
he fell down and broke his leg.
THE boys We're very rude. One here
on our street hit me with a SNOWFALL
the other day
Then it was your own fault"
How"
If you had maintained a proper dig
nifty no boy on earth would have dared
SNOWFALL you I've been boy and L
know how it is"
Il didn't suppose dignity had anything
to do with it, said Mrs. Bowser, after
silence.
It presume not. but let me tell you
it has everything. If that Chicago man
had had any dignity about him not q
boy would have dared to more than look
al him. Have I ever been broughE
home with a broken Lego"
But you've been snOwballed.'-
Never That is. not since I had any
dignity. It's all in the way a man bears
himself Two years ago, when there
was a street car strike. didn't pass q

passing leaned up against the fence and
snorted and giggled and said it was bet
ter than vaudeville.
Mr.. Bowser got up. They generally
do. He looked all around. Most men
do that. Then he gathered up his cane
and hat and told those giggling girls
to giggle and be hanged to them and
passed on 1t took him two minutes to
get into his dignified stride again and
make Up his mind that it was Mrs.
BoWserS fault, and he arrived at the
drug store without further adventure.
The snow on his back and the dent in
his hat gave him away at once, and the
druggist laughingly observed:
Hello, Bowser-been sitting down on
the sidewalk to rest2"
Sir. are you addressing me?'' was
the stern reply.
Why. yes, was speaking to you.
Had a fall, haven't you?"
Sir, I never fail. If you are through
asking tCm-fool questions you can now
hand me out a box Of chloride of lime"
The druggist had no more to say, and,
with his purchase in his overcoat peck
ct, Nr- Bowser headed for home. The
boys had spotted him and been making
ready. They had observed that silk hat
and cane and Roman stride, but they
had not been aWed a little bit. They
gave him time to get into a gait, and
then the signal was given and a hun
bred snow balls few at once. OF the
hundred only 90 struck Mr.. Bowser, but
there were others to follow.
It was such a surprise that he was
stunned for a moment. Then. like the
Chicago man, he forgot his dignity and
rushed about bareheaded with uplifted
cane. His downfall came a minute Ia
ter. The same old United States with
part Of Canada added this time, jump
ed in on him again, and the circus per
Torrance he went through with was
declared to be the best thing ever given
in the cause of charity
AS he lay there the snoWhalls cOntin-
ued to come and the boys to yell. and
it was not until a policeman came along
that the youths of the country fed away
in search Of a new victim.
Mrs. Bowser, sitting with her book
heard the front door softly open, and
she stepped into the hall to find a hui
man wreck. The wreck glared at her
out of two swelling and fearful eyes
and then got a move on its legs and be-
gan to climb the stairs.
Has anything happened?" she asked.
No reply from the wreck.
Did the boys SNOWFALL you, or did
you fail down? ?"
The wreck halted, Strengthened up
and got its dignity and turning to look
down on her as king regards g. peas

Mrs. Bowser returned to her book,
