 It was farmer half a mile farther up the same highway who brought in the fourth report. Having suppressed his emotions, he said:
 Tt was last Tuesday. I was she'll ing corn in my barn when stranger with gun entered. I have reason to believe that his name was Bowser.

, How to Feed Them and Cure Their Ai1memts.
 Fuss should be fed regularly. Don't think because your cat happens to be a good mouser or ratter that, there fore, you can dispense with giving 1t regular meals. On the contrary, such course is quite apt to spoil the cats hunting propensities. Fuss seldom pursues. mice for. the purpose of food, but almost invariably for the sport that the chase affords, and although if it be hungry 1t will generally devour it's prey, yet it never enjoys such food, and hence 1t IS cruel to make 1t rely on it for it's meal.
 Fuss is a good deal of an epicure, and you should satisfy it's peculiar tastes as far as possible, says a writer in the New York Press. To treat a cat really well regular diet should be followed. Two meals a day arc quite sufficient, l but they must be substantial. When your cat is Ill, you ought to doctor 1t. Most cat owners seem to think the illnesses of animals are of a different nature altogether from those of human beings and that while those of man require all kinds of drugs and medicines yet those of cats will cure l themselves. Cats frequently contract sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, con sumption, diphtheria and typhoid fever, and you, don't have to be veterinary surgeon to detect the symptoms of such | diseases.
 1 A rough, untidy coat, accompanied 1 by unusual restiessness, is g pretty sure indication that there's something wrong in the felines physical arrange ment, and precautionary measures should be immediately taken. A dose of castor oil is as effective in the case of catssas itsis in that of human beings to wastI of taeae complaints and is much siaE ssga aFn aistared.
 Cod iiVer Sds not only relished by
 nearly every kind of cat, but is, of course, nourishing and should be nber- ally given in the winter months, when natural warmth must be preserved. A I little sulphur mixed with the food or spread upon the animals paws is an
 effective preventive of summer com l plaints. si44 5

HOW TO AVOID DYSPEPSIA.
Golden Rules For the Relief and
 Cure of Indfgestion.

Cure of Indfgestfon.
 All who suffer from poor digestion should wear ten inch width of fan mel bandage next the skin, pinned fair " tight round the body over the stom- ach. No liver or digestive pills or pep sin preparations help the stomach a twentieth part as much as this flannel prescription. A poor circulation in the stomach, causing that chilly, "miser- able'' feeling, is at the root of half the indigestion that mortals are heir to. That is why hot water drinking gives relief. It helps the circulation. A f1an- mel bandage worn day and night all the year round cures the faulty blood circulation of the stomach; consequent Iy 1t cures dyspepsia.
 Five hours interval between meals, avoiding fried foods, made dishes and mixtures and observing three or four tLenten meals i'll every week are golden rules for good digestion.
 A good dinner at night is necessary for those whose pleasure or work keeps them up very late. But for ordinary folk who dine at and go to bed about 1O:80 only a light, wholesome repast
  should be taken at the end of the day, when the muscles and nerves are more or less exhausted.
 A tired stomach is a weak stomach" 1s golden rule to remember. Yet how often one hears people say: "I've been rushing about all day and am tired to death. I must have big meal to make up for it." You may put the big meal into the stomach, but you cannot make the stomach digest it.
 A belief lives strong in the hearts and minds of the majority of mankind, in cIuding persons of weak digestions, thataa quick, brisk walk taken before , a meal gets up an appetite and helps the stomach to digest the food Now, this Is exactly what is doesn't do. Ex- ercise spreads the blood throughout the body. For the proper digestion of food the blood is needed in the stonl- ach. Few realize this important fact,
 After long, exhausting walk, bi- cycle spin or any severe physical or mental strain take good half hours rest in comfortable armchair or lying on sofa before you eat substantial meal. @syS

for five years, and when he was ready to start he said:
 T shall probably be home about o'clock this afternoon, but If I'm two hours late you needn't worry. may run right into a drove of rabbits, and In case l. do shall keep right on slay- ing.''
 Are you sure about yourself?" she asked
 ''Sure about what?"
 ''Well, you know, you once followed the track of a rabbit all day, and it turned out to be cat. Do you think you can tell the difference between the tracks now? P
 T never followed the tracks of a cat, and you know it." he exclaimed. ''This is just like you. I want day off to supply our ice box with game, and you start in to spoil it."
 tI don't want to spoil your day, but you know that cat tracks and rabbit tracks are almost alike. We had an old cat once"-
 Your old cat is nothing to me. Do look like man who is going out to hunt cats ?"
 T should say you were going out to hunt bears"
 'Oh, you would? Well, I may pick also be gone two or three days or a week. Perhaps when drive up with wagon load of rabbits you won't feel quite so cynical. Pm off. Goodby."
 The first report from MT. Bowser aft CT he left the house was given by po- liceman, who said:
 'T was standing on the corner when man whom I recognized as Bowser came up to take the car. He had on rubber boots and cap and carried a gun. I asked him if he was going out in the country to shoot frogs, and he glared at me and made no answer. warned him to beware of, ferocious woodchucks, and he glared again and took the car"
 The next report was from the con- ductor of Q suburban car. He said:
 IA short, fat man, who, I believe, was MT. Bowser, took my car on Tues day morning. He had shotgun, and he asked me how many rabbits it took to load wagon. He further inquired as to the vital spots in bears and wolves and asked If had seen any elk or moose lately. I took him for a mighty hunter. There was a passen- ger by the same car who took him for an ass and said so, and MT. Bowser called him liar and offered to break his neck. He was very red in the face, and his ears were working as he left the car, and had feeling that if he met a grizzly bear it would be bad for the bear"
 The third report was brought in by a farmer, who held up his right hand and said:
 q was in the house with a boil on my leg and another on my neck and not feeling at all funny when my wife told me that man with gun was at the kitchen door.
 "Went out to see the man with gun.
 Found him to be short and fat with hopeful expression of countenance.
 "He said he had tracked q rabbit to my door and that he suspected the monster to have entered and hidden away in one of the rooms.

How to Dry Umbrellas.

To preserve an umbrella so that it will last long and not look shabby 1t should be carefully dried each time it is carried in the rain. To do this it should never be stood on the point, thus permitting the water to trickle down, spelling the silk and making the wires rusty. Neither should an um- brella be opened to dry, for in this way the silk is stretched, and later it be- comes baggy, and it is impossible to furl it smoothly. The correct way to dry an umbrella is to shake it we'll to get as much water out as possible, and then stand it on it's handle to drain.

LOopyTlSnIs 1SUo, Dy M. Seuad.l R R R. BOWSER had started for HAA@ the office at the usual hour 4 " 1 and had been gone fifteen
 minutes when he returned. To Mrs. Bowsers query of what had happened to bring him back he replied:
 You can see that half an inch of fresh snow fell last night, and I'm go- ing to take a day off and go hunting. I've been waiting all winter for just such day"
 ''But what can you hunt?' she asked. ' Well, I'll go out and knock over a dozen rabbits, and perhaps I'll get a fox and wild turkey or two. This is what they call good tracking snow If I get on the trail of anything, 1t can't escape. me"
 II shouldn't think you'd want to go blowing through the snow all day on the chance of shooting n rabbit, and no one knows what accident may hap pen to you.''
 T do not intend to blow as you call it, and no accident will happen. I need day off to brace me up, and you know that I love hunting. I'll bet I bring home more game than we can eat in a week."
 It would have been useless for Mrs. Bowser to make further opposition. During the night MT. Bowser had dreamed of staying rabbits by the acre, and the fresh fall of snow had decided him to go out. He took half an hour to change his clothes and get out shotgun that he had had in the house

How to Care For Brushes.

The care of good brushes-and by this is not meant simply those with costly backs, but first those of good bristles is not always understood. When the brushes are kept in an open tray, it is good plan to provide lit tie case made of water color paper to slip over the bristles of each brush. A similar one of common wrapping pa- per is useful to cover silver backed brush when the metal needs polishing.

Hor to c1eanse straw nrattins.

Straw mating should never be wash ed with soap. A large coarse cloth should be dipped in salt and then rub bed the. way of the straw. The mat should then be thoroughly dried and if treated in this fashion will not turn yellow. Papier mache articles, too, must not be treated to soap. They should be lightly sponged with cold water, then dredged with fine four and finally polished with soft flannel.

Hoyv to protect Bedroom wa1l..

To protect the walls of the bedrooms from knocks with the bedsteads 1t Is an excellent plan to fix two small pads Of chamois leather, one on each end rod at the head of the bed, so that if the bed is pushed back forcibly against the wall in the way dear to the heart of the average maidservant there is no chance of an ugly rubbed mark, as the pad keeps off the pressure.

Everybody Can't Do Everything

& !
 We can't paint picture, or carve a statue. or make coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do 1t because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while b ' cause we have studied 1t. and thought about it, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent, to make a good laundry as to make a good nicfure. Everybody can't paint a pic- fure-everybody can't wash clothes per- fectly. We want you to give us fair trial, and allow us to prove our word.
