Mr.. Bowser was more than half an
hour late in coming up to dinner the
other evening. No explanations were
demanded of him, but at the dinner
table he said:
Mrs. Bowser, l met with a case
that called for all my pity"

her satirical way.

They could not pay the rent the

were evicted."

Mrs. Bowser.

see what the trouble was. I saw three
widows seated ON chairs and crying
as If their hearts would break. There

"No'one but your
samuel J. Bowser has never seen
Il person in misfortune without offer

Airs. Bowser.
