BOWSER HAS SCHEME
Figures It Out He Can Make
$40,000 a Year on Apples.
HOW HE WOULD GO TO WORK.
Wife Knocks Plan In the Head by
Pointing Out Some Necessary Ex
pense* ? Tells His Story to the
Family Butcher.
[Copj rlsht. ISM. by T. C. McCTure.]
Outdoors It Mew and balled and
snowed. Wlthiu the Bowser mansion
all was comfort and peace. Mr. Bow
ser was reading and smoking, Mrs
Bowser doing a bit of sewing, and the
cat lay stretched at full length on the
rug nnd fbought of what a soft snat
she bad and purred her satisfaction
Suddenly there was a rumble and i
cough and an explosion:
"By thunder!"
"Uave you run a tack Into youi
foot?" asked Mrs. Bowser as she gav<
a start of alarm.
"No, 1 haven't, but I've come across
something here In the paper thai
makes me wish I had a wife like soon
other oen have got If I had, I'd b<
a'rTcli uiaii lu'lfT.t- .wars.**
"I'm certainly willing to help yon
get rich."
"You nay ?o, but wbeu It comes
down to the pinch you always say
"?M-O-A-Tl"
everything to discourage mo. Lard,
but how many good schemes you have
killed off for me? scheme* with mil
lions in sight right from the start:"
"I have simply figured with you to
see how they would come out Take
that strawberry schem**, for instance.
It looked to you to be the easiest thing
In the world to make $40,000 a mmoq,
but after 1 had figured"?
"Yes, you figured and had your way
about It and kuocked the scheme In
the head. That's the way you'll do
with this one."
"Let us bear what It Is first It may
be something that I can enthusiastic
ally lndorso."
"Well, It won't do you any good to
oppose It. I've made up my mind In
the last threo minuter) to go 1b to U. 1
may take a run but there tomorrow
and close the deal. Here's the scharne.
The paper says that a farmer named
Glllam, near Buffalo, had an apple
orchard of a thousand trees. Every
tree Is loaded down this year, and
owing to the scarcity of applee he has
sold the crop right on the tree* for
J10.000 In cash. Tho whole farm was
valued last year at only $rt.000."
"Well?"
"It can probably be bought for that
price now. I go out and I buy It If I
simply hold It, I make $4,000 next year
on the apples alone, saying nothing
about the other crops."
"I see?" replied Mrs. Bowser in what
seemed to be encouraging tones.
"There are a thousand apple trees.
Suppose that I sell the apples for $40.
000 Instead of one-tenth of that som?
We could save at least $85,000 a year
from that Income, and you ean see for
yourself where that would place us in
ten years. By John, but I bellrva that
1 have struck luck at last!"
He got up and walked baek and
forth In his nervousness, and when
Mrs. Bowser softly looked up at the
cat the feline winked and grluaed at
her and rolled over on her hack.
Wanted Wife's Opinion.
"Well, why don't yoo say some
thing?" demanded Mr. Bowser oftar
he had prowled for two or three min
utes.
"Why, you said the matter was all
settled."
"So It is. but you might mj what
you think about it In fact, yon may
figure on it If you will. I'm
that the more you Bgur# the mere my
profits will be."
"In that case I don't mind rnnnfaj
over things with you in a goed natnred
way. You won't lose your temper, 1
hope?"
"Of course not. What will there be
to make me do that? Go ahead with
yonr objections. I can meet and knack
every one of them out as they e??e
along."
"In the first place," said Mrr Bow
ser, "if this Mr. Glllam enn wise |W,
000 worth of apples In his erehard fc
a season, why should he mB yon hfc
whole farm for $0,000?"
"It's plain enough. The here
Intimate that he is a hayseed aad
doesn't know the worth of the geod
?hlng he has got."
"I see. He seems to be hayseed
enough to have raked lu $10,000 for
his apples. The hayteedo Jou't al<
live near Buffalo."

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS
D?u'i Kidney Pilla H?i ? Done
Grant Service for People who
Work In Alaska
Most Alaska people work every day
in torn* strained, unnatural position ?
bending constantly over a desk ? riding
on jolting wagons or cars ? doing labor
ions housework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hundred
and one different ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure
the kidnevs until they fall behind in
t, eir work of filtering the poisons from
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, put new strength in bad
backs?
W. H. Wood of 250 cottage St., Sa
lem, Ore., says: ''A good many years
ago I got badlv kiuked by a mule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
also injuring my back. Since then I
have had more or iees annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weather caused
my back to aohe and when I worked
hard it became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping, I
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at o drug
store and aince taking them, although
I hare continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Pills act up to
representations made of them. I also
know of other people who hive derived
ureal benefit from their use. I am glad
to let others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and kidney
trouble.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro*
nounced it a local disease and pre*
scribed local remedle., and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it Incurable. Science has
proven oatarrb 10 be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. H-lI's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
they offer one hundred dollars for any
ease It to cure. Send for circular
and testimonials.
