BOwser, the Spartan
He Suffered and Suffered and Thought He Was
Dying. but Grit Finally Pulled Him Through

"What is 1t, dear?" asked Mrs. Bow
ser, as soon as he entered the hall.
Got a sore throat, and 1 feel fever
ish. l think II am going to be sick"
She didn't call out that she had been
expecting it for a year or so or declare
that no husband in the state had sense
enough to look after his health. On
the contrary, she remarked in solicit
Gus tones.
IF you feel that you can't eat any
thing you'd better gargle your throat
and then bind it up. l don't imagine
It's anything more than a touch of ton
%silitis."
She helped him off with coat and vest
and got him on the lounge and covered
him up, and everything about b
house was ordered to go on tiptoe.
Even the cat was put out and the
clocks stopped. He lay quiet for a few
minutes and her %plaintively said:
Mrs. Bowser, don't you think you'd
better send for a doctor, or two or
three of them? l believe I'm already
struck with DEATH"
"How foolishl You've just got a lit
tie Inflammation of the tonsils n a
slight fever. It's nothing to worry
about"
But I've felt for some days that a
great calamity hung over this house

Mrs. Bowser had her hand on his
forehead, and the tears came to his
eyes with a gush, and he broke down
and wept like a BOBBY. She sat down
and held his hands until he finally fell
asleep, and though she might have
charged him with doing a score of
imprudent things she didn't mention
a single one. Neither did she sing or
attempt to whistle. and when she
heard the cook making too much noise
In the kitchen she went down and eau
toned her that Mr.. Bowser's life de-
pended on complete quiet.
After a couple of hours he woke up
md grudgingly admitted that he felt
better. though he was looking for a
speedy return of the pains and pangs.
Then he wanted tea, toast, jelly and
sympathy all mixed up and insisted at
least two doctors be sent for, and he
was as petulant as a three-year-old
child about going to bed. The cook
struck up a song as she finished wash
ing her dishes, and he demanded that
she be discharged in the middle of her
month without pay.
He fell asleep soon after being tuck
ed in, and Mrs. Bowser heard no more
from him during the remainder of the

night. He was a different man next
morning. In other words. Bowser was
himself again. When she asked if his
throat was quite better he stiffened up
and replied:
my throat? Humph! Mrs. Bowser.

know how bad l was, but just shut
my teeth and determined to bear it

The County Result.

"Can Cape Nav County be bought?"
was emphatically answered at the
polls on Tuesday in the negative. Not
outstanding the fact that SO, 600 of
money to secure a vote for a Democrat
lc United States Senator was placed in
the county last Saturday, and $4,000
additional was put in by the State
Liquor League to defeat Lewis NJ.
Crosse, the Republican candidate for
State Senator, he came off a victor over
Edward l.. Rice, Democrat, by a
plurality of 497.
Crosse had the peculiar battle of the
history of the county in having not
only to fight the strongest Democrat
who could have been selected in the
county, but also State Senator Robert
+. Hand, the retiring Republican sena
tor, whom he so decidedly defeated at
the september primaries. Hand made
a canvas of the county and appeared
with the democratic leaders before cleo
ton. On Tuesday he worked most of
the day openly against Crosse, in his
township; and the result shows that
while Hildreth for assembly had 141
majority in Lower Township, where
Hand lives, Rice carried it by Is the
other way. He attempted to influence
the vote in Cape May City, and the
workers, whom he could control, were
all against the Republican senatorial
candidate.
Notwithstanding all of this, and the
efforts of the Star Of the Cape, owned
by Hand, and the Wildwood SIN, both
of which before the primaries claimed
to be the only Republican newspapers
in the county, but which joined with
the Sea Isle City Times, and made the
trio which supported the Democratic
ticket through the campaign, Cresse's
plurality was 1862 more than Hands
three years ago, when only the heavy
vote of Crosse for the Assembly then
saved Hand from defeat.-Cape May

COMMUNICATED.

The project announced recently in the
JOURNAL relating to the establishment
on this island of IA large Summer Bible
Conference, Is proVres ing faVorably.
No definite selection for a site for the
proposed big Tabernacle has yet been
made, but plans are under way for the
erection of the building in the near
future and it is hoped hat next sum
mer will see the conference opened and
its work well under way.
The chief protector of the enterprise,
Mr.. Thomas McCorkle, president of the
Wilmington Bible Union, of Whining
ton, Del, is here and is giving his per
sonal attention to the matter. He said
Yesterday" We are much encouraged
by reason of the interest manifested in
our enterprise by the people of Five
Mile Beach. The Bible Conference
which we are planning would lie of i'm
mense advantage to the island, includ-
ing Anglesea, Wildwood and Holly
Beach. We expect to hold the annual
sessions of the Conference during the
month of June, which will have the
effect of giving another month of bust
ness to the hotels and boarding houses,
thereby lengthening the season by that
month";"
is the Conference to have the char
acter of a permanent institution ?' was
asked.
ooh, yes, indeed And we believe
that it's location on the island will have
the effect of bringing here very many
permanent cottagers. Already two or
three persons are ready to purchase lots
and build cottages as 500 as the Taber-
nacle is definitely located
"What will be the scope ofthe work."
ave expect to make it national in its
geographical scope. With the single
exception of Mortified, there is nothing
of the kind in the eastern part of the
country. Mortified is inaccessible to
many on count of it's isolated posi-
ton and poor railroad service. This
part of the New Jersey coast is becom-
ing more popular every year and the
railroads are increasing their transport
alton facilities to meet the demand.
We are within easy reach of several
large cities and of a wide area of densely
populated country"
What will be the UNCONVENTIONAL
character of the Conference"
at will he International aud purely
unsectarian. This being so, our work
will be very different from that at
OCtdu 0ION0 anu SlI1lldI places MI6IG
everything is planned to conserve the
interests of a particular sect. Our man
ayers and teachers will represent vari-
Gus branches of the Protestant church
and UNCONVENTIONAL lines will be effaced
so far as our work i'll the Conference is
concerned. On the other hand, there
will be the fullest sympathy and CO.
operation with the churches. Those in
charge of the work, as well as the
teachers who will be invited to visit the
conference, are all prominent christian
workers in the cities where they reside
and are closely identified with the work
of the churches"
An illustrated booklet is now being
prepared and will oon appear, contain
ing views of the different churches,
public buildings, beach and ocean
scenes, etc, which will be sent to min
isters and ~layworkers within a radius
of 500 miles. A copy of it may be OBJ
tanned when issued, by applying TO Mr..

board of county canvassers, met at Cape May Court House
on Monday and officially canvassed the vote of the county
cast last week for the different candidates, their report being
now on file at the county clerks office.

and Assemblyman-elect Hildreth 25o5 votes, or $40 more
than MI. Crosse. Rice, Democrat, for Senator received 100
votes, and Slaughter for Assembly received II6I votes. The
table printed above shows the total official vote Of each voting
district. A total of 1900 votes we're cast i'll the county, 400
of which were cast on Five Mile Beach, or a little less than
.o~ne-eighth of the total vote of the county. Mr.. Crosses pu-
rality is 486 and Nh. Hildreth's is I344.

New Way of Using ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durham, Natal, South Africa, says:
"As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a cure suitable for old and
young, | pen you the following: A
neighbor of mine had a child just over
two months old. 1t had a very bad
cough and the parents did not know
what to give it. l suggested that if
they would get a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and put some
upon the dummy teat the baby was
sucking it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought
about a quick relief and cured the
baby" This remedy is for sale by
