to be loaiinE around home today. Of
fered him an auto at half price and he
turned me down"
HE did, ch? Well. haven't seen
him for four or five days. but II he re-
fused to grab for that auto then you
can bet he Is getting wrong IN the head
I've always said TINT he'o have soften
ing of the brain some time"
Meanwhile. down at the house. po.
toto peddler had come along. He knew
that Bowser had thrown three of the
profession over the fence within year
and told the cook he'd discharge her it
she even bought Il turnip of them. but
the sight of his enemy sitting on the
top step so calmly and cumplucently
and looking So harmless in the eyes OF
all emboldened him To stop his rig at
the curb and say over the gate:
Judge. can ! sell you II few 'taters
here"
Unwonted Geniality.
The words tlOuted up to Mrs. Bowser
and gave her a chill. She was getting
ready to run down stairs TO prevent n
tragedy when she heard Mr.. BOwser
reply;
Il hardly think we need any potatoes
today, Thank you for calling my at
tentlon to them. They do look nice"
"l've got some fine cabbnges here"
"Yes. they are fine, but | guess
don't want any
"How about beets?''
mo beets, thank you. Call again rs
you come along tomorrow.
Mr.. Bowser's attitude not only made
Mrs. Bowser gasp for breath. but the
peddler turned pale and mounted his
wagon and got around the nearest cor
ner as fast MS he could There he met
another of his kind coming from tile
opposite direction and shouted to him:
"Say. IL you turn into Oak street
look out for old Bowser"'
"WhyY
Hes home and sitting on the steps.
and he tried his best to lure ,Ie inside
the gate by talking soft. Say, II I'd
gone In he would have tossed me ten
feet high! You beware Of him unless
you want to leave a widow behind
you"
Ready For tho Worct.
Between that hour and IL O'Clock
Mr.. Bowser encountered an old mnn.
n boy distributing bills and mender
Of tinware, and his reception OF them
was so kind and gentle that Mrs Bow
ser told the cook to have lunch on the
very minute and TO hold herself In
readiness to run the instant she Lenrd
any strange rumbles. At the lunch
table she asked: .rp %.
"You were not thinking Of painting
the house today, were yOu;"
mo, dear" s-
"Nor of fixing the water pipes nor
anythinGT,
mo"
When lunch was over he stood
around for awhile, and then. putting
on his hat. he strolled over TO the
butchers. AS he never entered the
shop except TO kick. the butcher began
to bristle up and get ready for row.
None came, however. Instead Of
kick Mr.. Bowser softly observed:
II have noticed such an improve
ment in the meat during the last three
months that thought Id drop in and
tell you how pleased and satisfied |
am. If every one had as conscientious
a butcher as you are things would
run smoother"
"Bowser, do you mean it?" asked
the butcher, as he wondered If he had
heard Alright.
"Of course mean IT,"
''Then shake! l have said that you
