MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
BOWSER FEOD IS OVER
Samuel and Mother-in-law Have
Sincere Reconciliation.
HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT.
Trouble In the Pa?t Had Bean Due to
Misunderitandingt ? They Beg Each
Other'a Pardon and Promiie Never
More to Offend.
[Copyright. 1908. by T. C. McClure.]
Mrs. Bowsef bail run luto n neigh
bor's the other evening after diuuer,
and Mr. Bowser sat smoking and read
ing, when there came a ring at the
front door. He waited until It was re
pented and then went down the hall
with his mind made up to throw the
tramp off the Bteps. As the door
swung opon his mother-in-law wnlked
lu. It was the same woman, with the
same satchel, lie started back and be
gan to glare at her, and, to his amaze
ment, she smiled and held out her
hand and suld:
"Howdy do, Sammy? 1 hopo you are
(lad to see me."
?*Y-e-s," he replied as he took the
hand and shook It limply.
"F hope Saruh Is not 1I1T'
"No. She's Just gone Into Green's for
a little while."
"Then I'll Just go down and help my
self to a bite to eat Don't you put
yourself out Are you feeling well, my
sou f" ,
"Yes, pretty well. You? you didn't
write that you were coining."
"Nope. I Just got ready and came
right along. Fact Is I wanted to see
you aud have a little talk with you.
We'll have a chat after I have some
thing to eat"
She went down to the dining room,
and Mr. Bowser sat down to think.
The relations between him and his
mother-lu-law had been strained for
almost twenty years. She had arrived
on a visit many, many times before.
"" " 1 I II II 1

"XRVEK AO A IX, BAMUT, WrLL I CALL TOD
A BUM."
but never to call him 8a in my and ask
after bis beultb. On the contrary, as
: the reader knows, she bad arrived to
play the bulldozer and tbe tyrant and
make bliu feel bis helplessness. On
numerous occasions be bas tried to
throw off the yoke, but never with suc
cess. What did ber arrival portend?
Why that smile? What was hidden be
hind that "Sammy?"
Mr. Bowser determined to be on the
sate side, and he was about to make
a sneak outdoors when a voice came
up to him:
"Ob, Sammy, don't get Impatient!
I'll be with you In five minutes."
He felt himself turning pale and bis
heart bei^ing faster. Had she come to
lecture blm on bis latest scheme to
xtui't ou ostrich farm? Had she heard
that he wanted to sell the house and
lot and go Into squabs? Had any one
told her that he stood ready to go on a
search for the north pole? If not that,
was she going to call him a scoundrel
and a villain and break up bis home by
Insisting that her dnughter get a dl
, vorce?
lYiaae up mma xo ngm.
It was a bad ten minutes that Mr.
Bowser spent with himself, and he
bad just made up his mind to fight to
the last gnsp when the mother-in-law
came upstairs. She was still smiling
She exteuded ber hand for another
shake and then sat down beside him
and said:
"Yes, Sammy, I'm real glad to see
you again. I've been doing lots of
thinking about you since New Year's.
I wanted to come down then, but I
couldn't quite arrange it. Did you say
> ou were glad to see me?"
"If you pitch Into me I shall answer
back." ?
"Pitch Into you, Sammy? Why shonld
I do such a thing as that? Why should
I pitch Into my favorite soa-ln-law?"
"But the last time you were here you
called me a heartless beast and said
you wanted me to understand that you
ran thla house und me too. The tin*
before that you drew the ax on me and
made me stop tinkering with the fur
nace/'
,"I did? Why, 1 don't remember any
thing about It. If It was so, then I beg
your pardon. I'm sore yon are thp last
man on earth whose feelings I should
want to hurt Did Sarah say anything
aboot the letter from me two weeks
ago?'
"Yes: 1 believe she did say some
thing. but I didnlt pay much atten
tion/'
"Didn't she tell you that I said you
wer# one of the best husbands on
and thnt I hoped she appreciated
i.So."
"I 'must speak to her about it May
be she thought It wouldn't do to pralM
you too much. I Dover can be thank
ful euougb that she found such n good
husband. Sammy, 1 noticed. j? bottle
of claret on the sideboard. You might
step down and take a nip."
"But the last time you were here
you called me an old bum because I
took a nip."
"That wna just au old woman's way,
you know. Bum! Why. I should like
"to hear any one refer to you as a bum
in my presence!"
Mr. ltowser felt weak and wabbly,
and he went down and took a nip? two
of "em. When he returned the mother
In-lnw reached for his band and said:
"Yes, Sammy; I got to thinking on
New Year's day whMt a good man you
were, and I found myself feeling sorry
that 1 had ever said anything to hurt
your feelings. 1 came this time to beg
your pardon end promise to be a dif
ferent mother-in-law hereafter. Can
you overlook the past, Sammy ?"
"Do you mean that you didn't come
down here to bulldoze and blow
arouud?" he- naked.
"Why, Sammy, bow could 1 think of
such u thing?"
"Once, when 1 bought a pig, you said
I didn't kuow as much as a boy ten
yeara old."
"Theu I must have been crazy. I'd
take another ulp of that claret If I
were you."
Mr. Bowser went down and took an
other ulp? tv.o of 'eiu. .
"1 may b:'"0 said mean things, Sam
my, but I n ? or meant themr" sfldd the
motber-ln-la .. us be returned. "I have
made up ui; mind to beglu this year
right."
"I bought some chickens, and you
said I hadn't tha brains of a grass
hopper."
"Is It possible?"
"1 wanted to clean house ouco as you
came here, aud you picked up tho
butcher knife and ordered me out.
You said you would au soon murder me
as not."
"Upou my word, but I must have
been crazy.'" . -
"And once you told Sarah right be
fore me that If you had to live with
such a husbaud as I am you'd pour hot
lead Into his ears while be slept"
"Then I ought to have been sent to
an asylum. Say, Sammy, there's a
bottle of claret on the sldeboaid."
Mr. Bowser went down and saw that
she was correct, and he took a nip
two of 'em.
Begged His Forgiveness.
"Sit right here, and we'll hold hands
and talk," said the mother-in-law as
he came back In a .melting mood. "I
want you to forgive me If I've ever
burt your feelings."
"I will."
"1 want you to know that I think
you arc the best man on earth."
"Thank*/'
"And I want you to think me the
best woman."
"1 uo.
"Never again, Sammy, will 1 cull
you a bum. Never again will I draw
no ax on you. Never ngnlo will 1
threaten you with th?. butcher knife
or say that you haven't the brains of a
grasshopper. I want love aud peace
and harmony between us. 1 want the
whole world to know how proud of
you I am. Sammy, let us sing:
"For- he's a Jol-ly good fel-low?
For he'? a Jol-ly good fol-low"?
Mr. Bowser went down for another
nip? two of 'em? from the bottle, but
found It empty. He therefore put on
his bat uiui overcoat to renew the sup
ply. lie saw two mothers-in-law and
went out of two doors. There were
two gutes, aud he hudu't proceeded a
hundred feet when he leaned up
against two fouces to think It over.
Pretty soon what seemed like two po
licemen came along, aud both of them
said to him:
"Well, old cock, whut arc you doing
here?"
"My name's Bowsher."
"Welir
"Muzzer-law has come down to she?
me."
"Yes?"
"And shay, she's 'er best old gal In
all this world. She begs my pardon?
I beg hers, and
"She's a Jol-ly gool f-o-l-l-o-w?
