Mr. Bowser left the house at $50.
At 9:1J Mrs. Bowser received a tele.
gram reading:

She had hardly dispatched the gar

Half an hour later came another,
reading:
Have oyster soup. Have boiled on

Then Mr.. Bowser rested for an hour
and sent the following:
"IIave dinner half an hour ahead of

The Curing of William Hicks.

n ILL HICKS had asthma-shook the
X floors
IL With each recurring paroxysm;
The doctors made him live outdoors
And that gave him the rheumatism.
The doctors cured his rheumatic:
OF that there never was a question.
Strong acids stopped those pains Of his.
But left him in Of Indigestion.
Dyspepsia fled before a course
OF eating grain. 1t would delight us
To cheer this plan till we were hoarse-
But Hicks then had appendicitis.
He rallied from the surgeons knife
And lay six weeks without CULVER;
The operation saved his life
The loafns. though. knocked out his
To cure his il. sr troubles he
Tried muscle stunts-you know how they
From liver ais he then was free.
But all the strains gave him lumbago.
Lumbago is painful thing;
A rlass"use with visage solemn
Rubbed the lumhago out boy spring
BUT twisted poor Eills spinal column.
To rid his backbone Of the twist
They used some braces They We're
careless;
The padding for his head they missed
This made him straight and left hin.
Drugs were prescribed to grow his hair
They acted just as represented;
They put his scalp in good repair.
But soaked in and left Hicks demented.

his feelings when he remembered that
he was guileless Uncle Rube lie had
to sit down to the feast prepared for
him, and he had to seem to enjoy it,
but there was rage in his heart. \
dainty breakfast had been prepared for
Mrs. Bowser, and when the odor was
waited to his nostrils he felt amazed
that he didn't arm himself with an AK
or croWbar and break loose.
Il thought you We're going to do
without collar and necktie today" que
ried Mrs. BOwSef as he finished his
meal and was getting ready to 90.
'Who said | was going to-" he de-
handed III something like his old bossy
tones.
Il thought a stocking around the
neck would be more in keeping with
your clothes. but of course it's for YOU
to say. I'll have cook boil you yellow
turnip and make some catnip tea for
your dinner tonight. Have you head
ache this morning.
"Of course not | never felt better in
my life
Il am glad to hear that | didn't
know but that simple life might be a
trial to you, but it seems to be just
what you needed. Shall you sleep on
the floor tonight? Beds are simply
useless piece of extravaganza"
you needn't worry about where |
shall sleep" he growled in reply as he
struggled with his overcoat.
'I'll have Il tallow candle tonight,
and We'll pop corn and play checkers,
the same as the farmers | think if
you keep the thing up for a month I
shall become convert"
"A month"; gasped Me- Bowser as
he felt the wolf of hunger gnawing at
his vitals
well, even two weeks. Shan't |
bring you a glass of cold water to
drink before you go? And why don't
you take along crust of bread and a
piece of suet for your lunch 2"
Had the cat been around Mr. Bow
Der would have shed her blood in glee-
full ferocity, but as she wasn't and as
he was determined that Mrs. Bowser
shouldn't get the best of him while life
remained he went his way without a
word. 1t so happened that ut the gate
he met the policeman who had thrown
him into a snowdrift for tramp the
day befO4e, and the officer looked him
over and demanded:
"Now, then, have you been begging
st.that house?"
,.1c-4-I live there, I'd have you know"
Don't lie to me, old fake. | have my
eye on you, and if | catch you tripping
you'll go to the cooler. Hustle along
with you"
1t was a hard blow to Mr.. Bowser's
simplicity" He fumed and ragged for
the next two blocks and then some
hing happened that brought about the
beginning of the end. The keeper of a
restaurant, who was standing at his
Eoor, beckoned to him and said:
Here, old man, if you'll clean off the
rest of this snow I'll give you a bite of
breakfast"

EXCELLENT BAND CONCERT
Asotin People Treated With . Roya
Time by Lewiston Organization

ASOTIN, March 27.-The Sentinel
says The Fryxell opera house was
crowded with an appreciative audience
Thursday evening to hear the band
concert rendered by the Lewiston Mill
tary band, OF which Prof. Pollard is
director. The band, accompanied by a
hundred or more of Lewiston young
people reached Asotin about 5 o'clock
on the steamer Mountain Gem, and
within fifteen minutes from the time of
the arrival, the program was started
The program was made up of marches,
waltzes. solos. quartets, medleys. etc.,
and every number was real treat. In
the way OF band music the concert was
the greatest treat that the town has
ever enjoyed, and this was certainly
evidenced by the generous applause
given each selection. Among the many
numbers on the program, which were
given. was the march 'Imnaha," COM
posed by Mrs. Anna Williams, of Aso-
tin. 1t was the first opportunity Asotin
people had had to hear the piece rem
dered by band, and it was indeed APP
precated. Miss Maude Powell APP
peared in the only vocal number Sing
me to Sleep" and she sang it so
sweetly and perfectly that she was
compelled to respond to an enchore.
The entertainment was given as a
benefit to the Asotin band, which is
soon to be reorganized. and it is a
pleasure to report that a very neat
sum resulted in it's favor. Following
the concert dancing for couple Of
hours was INDUCED in. Professor Pol
lard and his band covered themselves
with glory, and made splendid i'm
preston upon our people as musical
organization.
Last Saturday Judge Miller rem
dered decision in chambers, on the
action brought by r. j. Kingsbury
during February, against the board
of county commissioners and county
treasurer, restraining the payment OF
the sum Of four hundred dollars to the
Interstate Fair association, for the
arranging OF Asotin county's agricul-
tural exhibit at the fair last fall. The
court sustains Plaintiff Kingsbpry in
| the action. and among other things In
his opinion, says: Our legislature by
the act of 1903. has provided method
whereby county may aid agricultural
fair associations, and pay the expenses
of making their exhibits. In the alb
sence of this law. it might be that the
| commissioners would have the general
power to hire. a person to gather up
it's products and exhibit them at a fair
but where there is method provided
by law, then their general powers are
restricted. and they are confined to the
way provided by statute
