BOWSER REvIvEs.
Two Quarts OF Chici1ndee Mountain
Water Do the Trick.

About mid-afternoon the other sui
try day a boy appeared at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Bowser with a gallon jug
and said to Mrs. Bowser:
This Is a present from the butcher
to Mr.. Bowser. and he says you must
put It in the ice-box."
What is it," was asked.
ITS spring water to revive folks
up in hot weather"
When the boy had departed Mrs.
Bowser drew the cork and took a long
snin, and look of doubt and suspic-
Ion spread over her face as she poured
little of the water out in q glass and
tasted it. There was a taste that
seemed familiar. but she put the jug
on ice without meddling further. AT
six o'clock Mr.. Bowser came home
dragged out. His collar was only q
damp rag around his neck, and. his
shirt bosom had gone limp. He had
missed the car and been obliged to
walk eight blocks, and as he could not
overhaul and murder the conductor,
and no tramp had accosted him be-
tween his house and the corner, he
had come home to take ii out of
Mrs. Bowser. He had thrown down
his hat and jerked Off his coat and
vest and was preparing for words
when she said:
"a boy left a jug of what he called
c. M. w. here this afternoon. and I
put it in the ice box. He said the
butcher sent it,"

Take a good, sharp, judicial squint
at this broad back and before reading
the explanation make a guess as to it's
identity. The result will be some dem
onstration of the degree of acuteness
of your vision. You have seen thou
sands of pictures Of this man. He is
perpetually in the public eye. He is
one of the biggest men on earth. You
are perfectly familiar with his name,
his fame and his figure. Can you iden-
tify him? If you say it is Theodore
Roosevelt, your power of observation
is fairly we'll developed, but not ac-
curate 1t does look like Teddy, but on
second thought you will notice too
prominent a degree of flesh for the
president. AS a matter of fact, it is
the presidents closest friend and his
choice for succession to the presidency,
William H. Taft himself.

Improvements in the local service
will be inaugurated at once. Central

ready been received, will be put in
service and gradually the old ones will
give place to this more modern phone.

that is necessary.
Phone service in the east part of
the city will be extended first. Two
hundred pairs of cables have been
ordered and these will be run to that
part of the city as soon as they arrive.
That part of the city now has but 100
cables. A 500 line switchboard will
also be installed to accommodate this
increase and the switchboard will be
capable of expansion to 1.600 lines

to his plate again he continued:

THE MARKETS.

During the past week the wheat
market has advanced 4 cents, mostly
as the refult of liquidation of the May
option. The demand for -four is light
and from the winter and spring wheat
districts reports were favorable the
past week which causes buyers to be
very cautious, even in the face of the
fact that receipts at Northwestern
points are running only about half
what they were a year ago. The
liquidation of the May. option may
force the price a little higher. But
authorities in the trade seem to have
very little hope in that direction.
Corn still holds up at a high figure.
Cash corn was worth arount sc cents
in Chicago Wednesday.
Oats hold about the same as for
the last three weeks, being worth
494c in Minneapolis Wednesday.
Flax has taken a slight upturn
during the week and sold for 81. 1871
Barley is holding at about the same
figures as a week ago. Receipts are
not heavy and the demand is so light
that some is carried over nearly every
day. Maltsters doing practically
nothing and shippers in the market
only part of the time. Only a sink
ing market is in prospect for this
grain.
