BOWsER'S GAME.
He Sees a Game of Baseball for the
First Time.

Mr.. Bowser seemed somewhat preoc-
cupied during breakfast the other
morning, but when he had finished the
meal he showed back from the table
and said:
Il shall be home to lunch today"
But there is no work for you to do
around the house." replied Mrs. Bow
ser.
IT didn't suppose there was. but am
coming home just the same
Going to make a trip out into the
country?''
Not at all. There need be no great
mystery about it, Brown and are go
ing to a baseball game
But that's SO funny. You never saw
a game in your life"
mo, l never did.
you've always said baseball was a
silly thing"
YES. I know"
Mr.. Bowser, I've heard you say that
a baseball player was regular loafer.
II believe you have, and no one could
ever get me to see game"
Then why this change of front all OF
sudden?"
Mrs. Bowser, the game of baseball
has never been played right in this
country. I have known it right along,
but haven't meddled with it. I am now
going to NEEDLE. 1 am going to the
grounds this afternoon and give the
ing them to Brown the other day, and
he thinks it is my duty in the interest
of the sport"
But how do you know you are right
and they are wrong?' asked Mrs. Bow
ser.
rs Samuel Bowser ever wrong?" he
replied as he swelled out his chest and
waved his hand in a lordly way.
She wanted to say that she had
known him to be wrong hundred
times over. and that she didn't believe
he knew a thing about the rules OF
baseball, but she hung on to herself
Mr.. Bowser's pomposity has always
been little too much for her. He had
no more to say, and in a few minutes
had left the house and was out OF
sight. It so happened that about ar
hour before noon she saw Brown pass
ing and asked him to come in mo-
ment. Yes, he and Bowser were going
to the game. He also confessed that il
was his doings; also. that he doubted
whether Mr.. Bowser's pointers would
be favorably received. During the next

of Theodosia Cover is, we are told,
one of the best in which this delight

After nearly 20 years service in
