butcher was the first one visited. He
was leaning on his cleaver and wonder
ing how many of the heads of the Chi
cage meat trust would be sent to Jail
when Mr.. Bowser blew in and began:
Sir, l have paid you hundreds and
hundreds Of dollars this last year for
boncs-the bones of COWS. steers. sheep
and hogs-and I'll be hanged if You get
another cent out of me, You either

There was 10 doubt in Mr. BOwSer's
mind that he had given the butcher d
good polishing off and there would be
no more bone sent with his orders, and
his next visit was to the gcocer's. He
was given a pleasant good evening, but
IN response lie replied:

of food or drink in this shebang which
is not adulterated?"

the law into my own hands, but when
l do such men as you want to look out

There was another place to be visited,
and Mr.. Bowser walked in on the coal
man, who was at work on his books.
and said:
''Sir, in the last year you have cheat
ed me out of hundreds of dollars by
sending me short weight"
''Sir," replied the coal man as he laid

They went outdoors together and had
a struggle for life. At the fms of it
Mr.. Bowser was borne homeward at
the hands of two men, and when they
reached the front door one of them said
to Mrs. Bowser, who answered the
ring:
Are you the wife of Mr. Bowser?"
