Well, I'll be sure of it said Mr.. Bow

He entered small. dirty room. Just as
two men were lifting sick woman off

as sheet. and so weak that she did not

shouted Mr.. Bowser.
The men lifted the woman back on the
bed. and then the officer looked up and
inquired:
Who are you. and what is your bust

My name is Bowser. and 1 came here
just in time to see a sick woman treated
as few men would treat a dog. What do
You mean by it -
Il have my orders to evict her for non

doing it. I denounce it as a shame and
disgrace on humanity

a man, as he came upstairs and confront
ed Mr.. Bowser
oh, you are. are you? You applied to
the law to have this woman brought into
the street in her state OF health because
she could not paw rent.
But l am not to blame for her sick
ness. and I must have my money because
am a poor man"
How much rent does she owe vou?
Eight dollars"
And for eight dollars you would have
a dying woman nung INTO the gutter.
That's it, The poor are always talking
about how the rich oppress them 1t is
not so. 1t is the Door that oppress the
poor This is fine case of il"
Mr.. Bowser went walking around the
room. snuffing and shifting and peerins.
and returned to the man to say:
Has the board of health ever Inspected
this place."
The man did not answer.
There is hardly whole pane of glass
IN the windows: there are two or three
leaks in the roof: the water pipes are
out of order. and the place is full of
odors and smells that a decent farmer
wouldn't use it for a hog pen, This
woman may owe vou eight dollars. but
she shall never paw it. She is going to
leave here in n few minutes. and If you
ever bother her. or let new tenant in
here before making it a decent place I'll
see that you will have to pay smart
fine for it,
The owner and the officer looked at
each other. and then went down stairs
together. The woman had not spoken.
Only now and then had she opened her
eyes. Mr. Bowser bent over her. but he
saw that she was too sick to talk. He.
