Now, then, you'll have to hustle to get
ready"
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 AMI got eggs and bacon, Gu
cumberS, tomatoes and potato salad
AS he assembled 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 full
hour to prepare, would have been a
success but for several things. He
burned the bacon, fried two eggs which
had seen younger and fresher days and
through some accident put salt in the
coffeepot and poured molasses on his
salad. Even the cat understood that it
was not much of picnic.
When Mr.. Bowser had blunted his
appetite on bread and butter and beet
pickles he started in to wash the dishes
He went as far as to tie the cook $
apron around him, and then the still
ness of the house and the loss of his
eggs and bacon seized him all at once
and he decided to wait until he got Il
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
step on tack and telegraph Mrs.
Bowser?"
Then he went upstairs to wander
through the rooms and wonder why
each and every one of them seemed to
be attached to graveyard. He pres
emily decided that he would go to one
of his clubs, but he no sooner started
to put on clean collar than he changed
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 fatter herself
that miss her. She can stay away d
whole month if she wants to. This is
solid old comfort, this is

Citv Fathers Have Big Problems to
Grapple.
MANY MATTERS ARE DEFERRED
DISPLACEMENT of Territory, Purchase Of
Public Plants and Franchise for
Street Railway are Matters that
Came UP Before Public Council

The city council held it's
regular monthly meeting Tues
day night and considerable time
was spent in the discussion of
submitting the detachment of the
dynamite land to a vote of the
people. 1t appears that sixteen
Of the signers to the original pc
tition have signed off, audther e
is question aboutthe sufficiency
of the petition. The matter was
left over.
The school board presented a
communication asking that fire
escapes be placed on the Lincoln
and Pioneer schools, and calling
attention to the danger to chill
dren in those schools is case of
fire. This was referred to a
committee.
The question of the purchase
of the lighting and water works
plants was also taken up, but
owing to the fact that the town
of Washburn had taken away the
franchises with other public
records the council had to put
the matter over to the next meet
ing.
A franchise for a street rail-
way from Washburn to Banks
dale was presented by the Wash
burn Street Railway Company.
The company does not name who
its promoters are, but they want
an exclusive franchise for fifty
years. Nothing was done with
the petition.
The council will meet again
next Tuesday night.

Associated press dispatches of
Sunday announce that President
Roosevelt has issued orders to the
head of the different departments of
the bureau of commerce and labor,
to go after the Standard Oil trust.
In other words, to investigate the
workings of this, the most gigantic
trust or monopoly in the civilized
world, and find out, if possible,
whether there are good and valid
grounds to attack it as an organiza-
ton restraining trade" If such
grounds be found it is the intention
Of the president to proceed against
the Standard Oil Company, as he
proceeded against the Northern
Company, and if possible
break up this immense monopoly.
Let the good work proceed
