Now, then, you'll have to hustle to get

Mrs. Bowser got ready and depart
ed, and Mr.. Bowser went to the office
All the rest of the day he thought of
the dinner he was going to prepare for
himself at night, and on his way he
stopped and got eggs and bacon, Gu
cumbers, tomatoes and potato salad
AS he ascended the steps and realized
that the house was untenanted a sud-
den feeling of loneliness came over
him. This was added to as the cat
came mewing in from the back yard
and rubbed against his leg to demand
sympathy, but he began to whistle and
sing and imagine he was camping out
in the woods.
The dinner, which took him a full
hour to prepare. would have been q

ness of the house and the loss of his
eggs and bacon seized him all at once
and he decided 10 wait until he got a
car load Of dirty dishes and wash them
all together. And TO this he added:
Hang that old mother-in-law of
mine. Why did she want to go and

Then he went upstairs to wander
through the rooms and wonder why
each and every one of them seemed to
be attached to a graveyard. He pres
emily decided that he would go to one
OF his clubs, but he no sooner started
his mind. 1t would be too lonesome to
come home and not find Mrs Bowser
sitting up for him. He went down and
sat on the front steps with his evening
paper and cigar, and the cat crept up
beside him and heard him say:
"Mrs. Bowser needn't flatter herself
that I miss her. She can stay away d
whole month if she wants to. This is
solid old comfort, this is.'

for ten minutes and then gave it up
and started out for a stroll. He hadn't

and began to whistle and to think of
horse races and dog fights and other
lively things. He thought he was feel

SCORE OF 7 TO 0
ARDMoRE HAS EASY VICTORY
OVER SOUTH TOWN TEAM.
Harris Fine Pitching, the Feature Of
Yesterdays Game, Which was
Long Drawn Out Affair, ow.
ing to Much Wrangllne.


Revenge was never sweeter to any |
one than 10 the members Of the Ard |
more base ball team. when they shut |
out the South McAlester boys yes
terday afternoon in good fashion, thus
atoning for the two defeats at South |
NcAlester on Sunday and Monday.
Almost all the credit for yesterdays |
victory belongs TO Harris, who pitch |
ed a great game for Ardmorc In nine !
innings, but % batters faced him
Only two of these reached second |
and only one got as far as third,
which was in the ninth inning when
Whites daring base running came
near securing a score for South Nc
Alester. not a single man was given
his base on balls by Harris. Porter
~ the visitors also pitched good
tall, but his work was not to be com
pared with Harris
The disgusting part of the game
was the continued wrangling of the
visitors, which was altogether uncall-
e. for. Decisions. about which there
was not the least semblance of doubt,
would cause the visiting team to con-
gregate around the umpire and make
every possible kick IN an erort TO
have the decision given in their favor.
Had South McAlester played base
hall, instead Of doing the baby act"
the result might have been different,
at least the score
South McAlester did not have an
opportunity to score until the ninth
inning. when White, the Denton Ath-
letics' catcher, VINO is playing in the
present series with South McAloster,
singled, stole second and went to
third on a wild throw. with two men
out and two strikes on Copeland, who
was at the bat he made a dash for
the home plate as Harris started to
make his delivery. The ball got
there about two seconds ahead of the
base runner and as it was over the
plate, Copeland was forced to hit. II
or be struck out. The best Copeland
could do was to foul IT and White
was compelled to go back to third
after practically having stole home
Copeland hit the next ball Tor an out
at first, thus ending the game.
