BOWsER's STATISTICS.

Home, en-" saluted Mrs. Bowser,
as Mr.. Bowser arrived from the office
the other evening. 'Well, the cook
has got one of the incest dinners we
have had for a week, and it's wait
ing for you?''
Mr.. Rowser grunted and took a
parcel from his overcoat and carried
it down to the table. Then he made
great display of removing the paper
and brought to light a carrot and a
turnip.
isn't it too early in the season to
begin making garden?" asked Mrs.
BoWSer, with a SMILE
mo one is going to make garden.
These vegetab les are to constitute my
dinner tonight. Tomorrow night I
shall bring others. I have got
through making a menagerie of my
stomach and destroying my health
and shortening my years"
And so you are going to turn to
horse and COW feed?'
Il am going to turn to sensible
| things-to the food that nature in
tended man to live on and has so
| beautifully provided for his susten-
ance. Mrs. Bowser, 1 can show you
statistics that would make you chill
| with horror
about what?"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-03-21

reply. It was a glare SO icy cold that
it would have kept the kitchen
refrigerator going for a week. Five
or six minutes passed and then the
gentleman with the thrilling statistics
rose up with a real groan and stood
half bent over with a hand on his
stomach.
Hungry again, dear? I guess I
can find parsnip around somewhere.
If not, I'm sure there's a head of cab
bage in the house."
"Say-say-son1 ething is gripeing
me like blazes! I'll be hanged if
you must be mistaken, Mr.. Bow
ser. All you ate for dinner was a raw
turnip and q carrot. and nature sup
piled both for mans food. Don't you
remember how good your stomach
felt when you got through"
'But I tell you I've got a case Of
coic!' he shouted, as he walked up
and down. ouch! She's coming
faster and harder! Do something for
me or I'll be a dead man within an
hour!'
Don't alarm yourself Mr.. Bowser
You may have swallowed the stub Of
your cigar when you gave that first
start, or 1t may have come from get
ting your feet little damp. 1t sure
Iy can't come from the carrot and tur-
nip. We can't find a thing in the
Bible about natures food giving
Adam the collie. Shall I go do down
to the kitchen for the cabbage?"
MOI he thundered between two
pains.
81 could just as we'll have got a
squash or a pumpkin today If I'd
known about your change of diet"
tWoman-'
And then the pain took hold of him
and turned him pale ana brought the
sweat to his forehead, and he stag
gered around and finally fell upon the
lounge and stretched out and
groaned:
But what is it. dear? Did you
step on a tack or something's"
"Step on a tack! Good heavens
can't you see that I am twisted up
in knots with bilious colicl'
"But it can't be that she protested.
Bilious colo comes from eating some
thing that is indigestible. You ate
nothing for dinner except a turnip and
a carrot-nature's foods. Adam and
Eve ate the same things, and, like
enough, some raw potatoes and corn
stalks on top of them, and yet they
didn't have bilious colic.'
Mr.. Bowser heard, but did not reply.
He realized that it was lone on him,
and he determined to die on the spot
before uttering another groan. The
pains eased up for a moment, and he
began to plan how to take Mrs. Bow
ser's heart ache, but before he had

that gave Adam the strength to take

us may die off, but you Will live on"
Fifteen minutes later the doctor ar
rived. He struck the trail at onoe, and
when he had eased the pains some

Gems Glean6d from the teachings
of All Denominations.
Religion is not merely a possibility,
a desirability, a privilege. It is a ne

INSTRUCTION.
All effective instruction not only
proceeds from one who. is wise, but
who is wise enough to appreciate the
limitations of the pupil.-Rev. c. H.
VALUE OF HOPEFUL THOUGHTS.
Every hopeful thought created in
the mind stimulates the heart, i'm

NAL action of every gland.-Rev. DR..
E. l. House, Congregationalist, Spok-
ane, Wash.
RELIGION AND BUSINESS.
The busiest man is he who has the
most time for religion. If it is my
duty to shovel dirt, I can do it with
the glory of God in my heart as well
as with profanity in my mouth.-Rev.
C. D. Case, Evangelist, Montclair, Nj.
MAN IS NEVER ALONE.
No man lives to himself. While no
man goes down without dragging
some one with him. it is also true that
no man climbs upon the rock of SAL
walton without being an Inspiration

Washington.
OFFSPRING OF GOD.

center from whence all reforms ra-
date. Here 1t is that men and wo-
men are made or marred, here the
heart Is opened, habits formed and
the intellect awakened.-Rev. Robert
Hopkins, Congregationalist, CIeve-

HEAVENLY SOCIETY.
Christ puts himself in the center of
mems affections that he may secure
their conversion. He stoops to con-
quer He delivers himself to the sin
self. Through the social nature of
the Son of God men enter the society
of heaven.-Rev. Thomas Parry,

Faith precedes deeds In religion as

a faith is mans daily bread. Appro-
