Mrs. Bowser Feared That the End
Had Come.

Ninety-nine times out OF a hundred
Mr. Bowser follows a regular program
when called to get up in the morning.
He hunts for his day shirt; he hunts
for his socks; he hunts for his collar
and tie; he finds one of his shoes in
tho upper hall and the other under
the dresser. and his watch is as apt
to be found under the bed as else
where Mrs. Bowser expects it and
goes through with it and looks for
her reward beyond the skies.
Tho other morning, to her IN
bounded surprise. there were no kicks.
Mr.. BoWser even forgot to throw out
a hint about wives getting up in the
night to rob their husbands of small
change Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred he kicks at breakfast. but on

Some years ago there was a saying
among the Maynard college youths
which ran as follows:
''The camel can go ten days without
drinking, but who wants to be
camel?"
whether Chain realized the humor
of the situation or not, the fact re-
mains that the camel has, to certain
extent already become enblematfc OF
the Prohibition party
In selecting an emblem the camel
was strongly in favor for another rea-
son. namely. his patience Like the
Prohibitionists. he is a good waiter"
