warrant them fresh eggs, but closed
the bargain at once and was very
proud of her economy.
Mrs. Bowser wanted to make an egg
omelet for dinner and the first nine
eggs out of that crate proved to be
bad ones Out of the twelve dozen
eggs she found later on, about three
dozen good ones. That is, they were
not so bad but what they could be
forced down the throat Now, then,
twelve dozen eggs! I would have en-
tered that grocery and said to the
swindler who runs it:
"I want to buy a crate of eggs at
wholesale. I want them for ten uents
a dozen less than retail price. 1 want
every egg to be as fresh as the sum-
mer dew on pumpkin vine. If there
is a bad egg among them, or a short
age in the count, 1 will come in here
| and work such destruction in this old
shanty of yours that you will have to
go into bankruptcy inside of an hour.
Don't think you can Swindle me, you
old hyena~ 1 am up to the games you
practice on innocent customersi
Twelve dozen eggs, sir, and every one
of them a fresh egg!"
And wouldn't every egg have been
fresh and wouldn't 1 have saved a dol
lar or more, where Mrs. Bowser lost
two or three? OF course 1 would-of
course. And has Mrs. Bowser ever
JOlQ the puDllc OF the SWlnQle IN eggs
She has not even limited it that such
a thing occurred, and she never will.
One evening, not so long ago, she
observed that our front steps needed
repainting, and that she wished 1
would employ painter to do the job
I was about to declare that 1 would do
it myself, and thereby save hundred
dollars, when she swished off on some
other subject and shut me up. On the
next day, when a big tramp came along
and begged for something to eat she
asked him If he had ever done any
painting.
81 have been a house painter for
over twenty years. was his reply.
How much will you ask to paint
the front steps?"
"Only three dollars, ma'am, if you
will furnish the paint. 1 wouldn't do
it for any one else for less than seven
dollars"
We had five or six different kinds
of paint down CELLAR and Mrs. Bow
ser brought them up and mixed them
altogether. There was no oil to thin
them down and so she poured in a pint
of kerosene. The cook said that oil
of some kind was highly necessary,
and so she emptied a bottle of castor
oil in on top of the kerosene and the
tramp went to work.-McClure'

Tom Thompson, Republican, Spoke of
Nuts at Democratic Banquet.

Tom Thompson, Republican, Spoke of
Nuts at Democratic Banquet
Not all of those who attended the
Democratic banquet Tuesday evening
were Democrats. A lot of Republicans
planked down two dollars per in or
der to hear what the Democratic
speakers had to say and incidentally
to have a little fun with their Demo-
cratic friends. Tom Thompson, sec
rotary of the Kansas Day club, was
one of the Republicans present and
around him were several other Re
publicans.
The Democratic menu was an at
tractive thing. Long before the wait
ers began serving. banqueters had
worked up an appetite through read
ing it. And after everything had been
served the Republicans in one bunch
began checking off viands served
against the printed menu. There was
one Democrat in the bunch.
Here is one thing 1 didn't see," he
said, pointing his finger at a printed
line. Assorted nuts. I didn't get
any. Waiter, where are the assorted
nuts?"
Keep STILL" cautioned Tom
Thompson, don't make yourself ridi-
culous; the assorted nuts are sitting
around the tables listening to these
Democratic speeches"

BOWSER'S SIDE OF IT
He Ayers That Mrs. Bowser Has Also
Made Mistakes.

Readers of the Bowser sketches can
not have helped but noticed that Mrs.
Bowser always twists everything
around so as to appear one of the
smartest women in the land. while
am held up to scorn and contempt as
a faddist and an incompetent. 1 have
stood this as long as 1 am going to.
Mrs. Bowser is very good woman,
but 1 shall not longer allow her to
boost herself up at my expense. If 1
have made mistakes, she is also guilty
of the same thing and should share the
blame with me. She has related in
these sketches thousands of my blund-
ers, but I shall content myself at pres
ent with relating only a few of hers.
One evening last fall, as we sat en-
joying our home life. I observed that
must soon see about the winters
supply of coal for the furnace. She
replied that 1 was an Overworked man
that it was her duty as a wife to take
all the burdens off my shoulders she
could. I needn't bother about the
have me strain my voice at the tele-
phone for fear of producing some last
ing injury to my vocal chords. 1
might go right along in peace and
contentment and on the morrow she
would order the coal. She looked at
me so lovingly and her attitude was so
confident that L left the business to
her.
1 shall not state that I expected she
would b1under about it, but between
you and I, looked for some calamity
On the next morning as soon as 1 left
the house she got into communication
with our goldman and asked him over
the phone:
You have coal I presume?"
I'VE have kept coal for twenty eight
years." was the reply.
Then 1 want five tons of it,
VERY well, ma'am; II shall be up to-
day
