proposed that this designation be derived from

that DR.. Kunz had been largely instrumental
Ia making the California discovery, and was in

 '.It makes no difference what have often said. I am all of a shiver one minute and burning up the next, and my mouth is as dry as chips. Tele- phone the doctor at once and tell him not to be all day getting around here.p
 That was the beginning of the day. At 9 o'clock Mrs Bowser brought up some tea and toast, and MT. Bowser took a few sips of the one and nibbled at the other and said he had feeling that he was not long for this world. His voice was very plaintive as he said 1t.
 At half past 9 he called Mrs. Bowser up to say that his head ached, his feet were cold and he wanted a quiet flu neral in case of death. She assured him that one day in bed would prob- ably effect 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. Having heard MT. Bowser disparage

Bovser's Escape
He Has Severe Attack of the
 Grip, but His Life Is Spared X
rcopyright, 1908, by c. B. Lewis.l

Copyright, 1908, by c. B. Lewis,1 R A YHEN MT. Rowser had over Ak~ slept his usual hour by WV fifteen minutes the other
 morning Mrs. Bowser went up to see what was wrong. He was awake, but he had just felt a shiver pass over him and had the quilts drawn up to his chin. He had made fun of the grip a hundred times over and had even asserted that only per sons of weak intellect would give up to it, but now he had feeling that he was in for it himself.
 Mrs. Bowser scanned his flushed face and felt of his pulse and quietly said:
 "It's a case of the grip, and you'd better stay in bed today. or course the grip doesn't amount to anything, but you'd better take reasonable precau- tions."
 .'But it does amount to. something, :" he contended as another shiver struck

sake but felt that he was called to go. More toast and tea, and he ate heartily for dying man. Pillow turned over and the cathust1ed oubsof the room.
 At 2 o'clock the doctor came again. and sounded MT. Bowserss lungs. Seemed to take 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 dog howl few hours before dissolu- ton. 1t was just possible that he could pull the case through, but As soon as he had departed MT. Bow ser had four sf1fvers in succession and gave Mrs. Bowse9 a list of debts to be paid after he had become an angel.
 At o'clock the patient tried to sing hymn, but gave 1t up in the middle of the first verse and asked Mrs. Bowser if she could possibly forgive hfm for jawing around when 3fhe 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 human hyena.
 Atf4 o'clock the patient felt erin kIina of his toes, accompanied by twitching of the ears, and he declared his belief that they wereasigns of dis solution. He recalled the fact that he had once come home and raised great row over finding a cloShespin 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 moment, but a new buzzing in the ears admonished him that his stay in this cold world might be brief
 At 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 hu- man being and wondered if she would miss him; wondered how he ecould have ever been so foolish as to try to ride a 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 s hand and asked her forgiveness for saying that she had no system about housekeeping; referred to his mother tn-law again and left her several fare well messages.
 At o'clock. as Mrs. Bowser sat downstairs and her patient was sup posed to be asleep, MT. BoWser sudden Iy appeared before her In his dressing gown.
 Good graciousp' she exclaimed. 'sBut you-you''
 Exactly, madan,s he replied as he looked around for a cigar. 'sYou and. the doctor have fondIy imagined all day that I was booked for Jericho, but you see me here before you, and now why in thunder are you letting that blamed old cat scratch that cover of the loungep' M. QUAD

the grip and the medical profession combined, he felt it his duty to assume a serious look and announce that it 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 MT. 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 10:30 MT. Bowser felt hot flashes and cold shivers, and dog howled dis mallyt 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 howls. He acknowledged that he was crank and kicker and begged Mrs. Bowser to turn his pillow over and forgive dying man. He said he didn't want to be buried in Connecti- cut, but wouldn't raise fuss about it.
 At Il o'clock there were more shiv- CTS, and he had a hot fiatiron at his feet and cup of hot tea; also held Mrs. Bowser's hand and said he was sorry for finding fault with the gas bill.
 At 12 o'clock noon the patient com plained of numbness in his knees and buzzing in his ears. Had his pillow turned, over and his feet tucked up, and Mrs. Bowser went down and chid- ed the cook for singing, "T Would Not Live Away"
 At o'clock Mfr. Bowser seemed to be asleep, but as Mrs. Bowser wiped 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 new milk COW without her con sent Re would like to live on for her
