BOWERS MELANCHOLY.
1t Was Caused by a Little Gift He
Received From a Friend.

The Bowsers had just finished dinner
the other evening when a expressman
drove UP with a tWO-gallOn jug which
was tagged in Mr.. Bowser's name. The
cork being removed and the contents
sampled, he smacked his lips and ex-
planned:

letter away along last fall from an old
friend in Chemung county, and I re-

followed the second and first. A quarter
of an hour later the jug was tipped up
for the fourth time within 40 minutes,
and soon after he came upstairs he be-
