BOWiSER I lILS DOWN
All the World Seems to Go Wrong
With the Old Fellow.
HAD BEEN GOOD FOR A WEEK.

The Cook Knew Something Was About
to Happen. For She Could Tell the
SyHptoms-He Walks the Streets
For Two Hours In Dismay.
Copyright 1907, by Homer Sprague.I
Mr.. BOwser had been very good for
a week. He had taken Mrs. Bowser
on suburban car; they had gone out
in the evening for ice cream; they had
sat on the front steps in the cleaning
and he hadn't cussed the street ped
oilers who were yelling at the gate.
The cook had burned her hand and was
behind time with the meals, but not
one single complaint from Mr.. Bowser
A water pipe In the kitchen had burst,
but he had got plumber and paid the
bill without a murmur. The cook
couldn't help but notice the change.
and in an awed whisper she said to
Mrs. Bowser:
Don't think me impudent, ma'am,
but that's just the way my sisters hus
band was taken before he hung him
self. l don't like to see 1T. 1t isn't
natural"
"All husbands have their streaks."
replied Mrs. Bowser, with a smile.
Eyes. perhaps they do, but l call 1t
uncanny 1 hope you don't come down
TO breakfast some morning with your
throat cut from ear to eal."
Mrs. Bowser had been married long
enough to realize that there was no de-

pending on a south wind and was
ready for the change when it came.
Mr.. Bowser left the house one morning
after kissing her in most loving man
ner and cautioning her not to over
work during the day, and at $50 10. M,
as she and the cat sat on the front
steps watching for him, he got off the
car at the corner. In an instant she
knew that the change had come. His
shoulders were huRched up and his
feet dragging, and he looked around
as if hoping some one would step on
his coat tails. The gate was open, and
he scuffed in and assembled the steps.
No, there was no mistake. He had
fallen down His goodness had de-
parted.
"Who in thunder left that gate
open?' he demanded as he passed into
the house.
''Why, I think the minister did. He
was here calling about an hour ago"
'Then he wants to learn what gates
are for, and I'll tell him so next time
I see him"
Dinner is all ready" said Mrs. Bow
ser as she joined him in the hall.
Scores the Minister.
"Humph! You mean that some old
frazzied steak and watery potatoes
are TO be set before me. We haven't

how it turns out. Where is your old
dinner anyhow
'Why, in the basement dining room,
Of course"
"Oh, it's, Ell? 1 didn't know but
we were to eat it on the front steps,"
1t was a good dinner and a well
cooked dinner that awaited him, but
he found fault with every dish in ro-
tation and finally broke out with:
Mrs. Bowser, why do you keep
such a bow legged, knock kneed, club
footed woman in your kitchen? Here's
at least three dollars worth of food
not fit for rats to eat"
"And only yesterday, when I told
you that she might leave as, you told
me to raise her wages 50 a month.
You said she was the best cook that

''Never said a word Of the kindr'
he interrupted. You can give her no
tice to skate. I'm a patient, long suf-
fering man, but there's limit"
The dinner was finally finished, and
they went up stairs. They had hardly
reached the sitting room when Mr..
Bowser yanked off his coat and
growled out:

what IN blazes ails this collar of mine?
1T has been saving at my throat all
day. I've got more than four million
collars in the house, and yet I must
