seems, and to have introduced it in this
drama would have been to call down
much criticism upon the heads of the
producers, who seem to have gone to
the farthest possible lengths of mod

1t would not be anliss to mention the
fact that all the parts were played by
men, the japanese actress not having
yet become a class, but only a rare and

Adam Rested at Night Under a Tree.
by the seven saints, but can't a man
get five minutes rest in his own back
yard!" shouted Mr.. Bowser, as he rolled
out of the hammock and looked around
for a clothes prop to kill somebody
with. The cats separated, with honors
even, and after growing around for a
spell the camper returned to his ham
mock. There were no Whippoorwills to
sing him to sleep, but after mentally
counting up to 500 he was doing off
when that strange feline came back for
some more of that row. She knew she
could lick the Bowser cat if given a
fair show, and in her enthusiasm to
begin business she leaped down on Mr..
Bowser instead of the grass. OF course
the Bowser cat resented this as an ad-
ditional insult, and she took flying
leap for the hammock, and for a brief
moment man and cats were as badly
mixed up as if there had been a rail-
road collision.
Nov, may I perish if I don't have
blood for this!" shouted Mr.. Bowser,
as he rolled out from under teeth and
claws, while the fight in the hammock
went to the second round.
He had got hold Of a clothes prop,
and was preparing to STAY, when q boy
who was going home through the alley
felt it his duty TO do something for his
country. There is always an old tin
pail lying around handy for such a
boys use, and Mr.. Bowser was just
raising the pole for a whack when
something struck him full in the chest
and sent him to grass He thought it
was another cat-two, three, four other
cats-and as soon as he could scramble
to his feet he made race for the kitch-
en- door and disappeared into the house.
Mrs. Bowser had come back downstairs
and was reading book, and as he
appeared at the head of the basement
stairs she inquired: ''Well, do you
think you will escape heat apoplexy for
the rest of the summer"

however, if things don't turn out

Blame! Blame? How can blame
you? Woman, I am surprised at your
lack of sense. BY George, wonder if
there is such another woman in all
this world
Mrs. Bowser had nothing more to
say, while he sat and sulked, and
glared at the cat as she showed a dis
position to rub against his leg and
soothe his feelings with her purr.

BowsER's NEW CURE.
1t Was Interesting as an Expert
n.ent.

1t was a hot, sultry evening, and
after dinner Mr.. and Mrs. Bowser and
the cat took places on the front steps
to get all the air possible. Mr.. Bow
ser had been reading the paper and
smoking for a quarter of an hour,
when a pedestrian came along and
gave good evening. The salutation was
returned, and with an ejaculation on
his lips Mr.. Bowser laid aside his pa
per and went down the steps to the
gate. There he held a conversation
with the man lasting for twenty min
utes, and when he returned to his seat
he said:

otherwise cured wouldn't he have said
