Mrs. Bowser and the cat wore on
watcli for Mr. Bov.ser as ho emtio
homo the other evening. As he drop
ped off tho car at tho corner It was
seen that Ills general attitude was one
of dejection, iiuifway down to his
gate Mrs. Bowser could see the care
lines In his face. As lie reached the
foot of tho steps she realized that he
must have got won! that all his broth
ers and sisters w.-re dead. lie was
passing by her to enter the house, with
the nio.\t lonesome lool. Imaginable ou
his faee. when she exclaimed:
"Mr. Bowser, will you toll ine what
In the natue of goodness has happen
ed''"
"Nawthlu'." he drawled out.
"But sometlilnn surely has. Are any
of your relatives dead?"
"I dunno."
"Have you lost a large amount of
money V"
"No."
"Then what Is It? You look as If
you hadn't a friend left 011 earth."
"And I haven't." lie replied as lie
huiig up his hat and tears came to his
eyes.
"But I a in here- I. your wife."
"Yes. but what of it V I loll you.
Mrs Bowser, this is a sad old world.
"siu.i ix'r put iim: i.oviso akms ai;i>cm>
MY N KOK AM) < AM. MR A OlIKIlUll, AS
811 K I'SISI) TO."
I hadn't much to do til the olllce this
afternoon, and I just sat down and
thought of thing- Mid things, l?l
feel as If 1 could weep."
Suspicious of Him.
She looked nt lilm suspiciously ami
led the way down to tin- dining room
anil then started In to toll liliu that the
police had arrested four boys that
afternoon for playing hall lit the street.
"Yes, htil what ?lo four hoys and the
police amount to?" he walled out.
"Mrs. Bowser, every day around n<
men and women are dropping dead
and being home to their long home."
"But that Is what we all expect." s!*e
replied. "They say the butcher on the
corner must fall if the price of meat
doesn't come down."
"But what have I got to do with the
butcher on the corner and the price of
meat? 1 tell you there Is sadness In
this world? oceans of sadness. As It
says In the Scriptures, we are here to
day and gone tomorrow. 1 left the
house in the best of health this morn
ing, but how tlid you kuow that 1
would return alive? ITow could you
tell that at this very moment you would
not be a widow with scalding tears of
grief chasing each other down your
cheeks?"
"Ves, life Is a risk, but we should not
be sad over It. There came pretty near
being an awful dog tight In front of
the house half an hour ago. I wish you
had been here to sick the little dog on."
"Oh, what's the use?" he said as he
nibbled at a piece of bread and turned
bis face away. "Wheu I am tliluklng
of how my dear old mother died do you
think I want to hear a' >ut dog fights?
Yes, she? she died."
"But you were only four years old
then, and you nrc .. ,j '-iglit now."
His Mather.
"It d?esr't mak" any difference. My
poor moth' , was called iio ue. I can't
go to se ! and ? he can't put her lov
ing ."".us around niv neck and call me
her ehcrvb, :>? she used to. Had a con
gestive chill and pawed right away.
And my father is dead. too. and my
brother .liu; Is dead. I tell you (here's
grief and sadness abroad iu the land."
M Bowser looked at him for a full
mini. ? :: r > s the table and sniffed at
the ill -sphere suspiciously and then
said:
"I'm sorry about your father aud
mother and your brother Jim, but of
course you couldn't expect them to keep
right on living. I have lost my own fa
ther and a sister, as you must know."
"Then why ain't you sad? What are
you talking about butchers and dog
fights for? Here we sit In the best of
health and surrounded by happy Influ
ences. and not two blocks away there
nr ? li ni.ses of mourning. I tell you,
M s. Bowser? I tell you" ?
i before lie could tell her she rose
??? f v :n the table, aud he followed her
upstairs. Slie wanted to do something
to effect u change in him, and she be
Ran to play with the cut, but after tak
ing two or three turns across the floor
he said:
"Anil my tlxler Mary Ik dead, nnd my
t'ncle Jim ami uiy Cousin Hetty yes,
dill and gone. I don't s'pose 1 could
liud their gravestones If I net out to
tool; for them deud nnd gone, and you
.iii- j, laying with thai blamed old yallor
eat a if nothing had happened."
Sho Refuses to Mourn.
'But what ?lo you want me to do?"
ihe retorted. "Ik It going to bring the
dead to life If 1 sit down and weep?"
"Hark to that!" he exclaimed after
ii moment ami without having an
swered her question. "There Is n ped
dler shouting 'Watermelons!' at the
tup of Ills voice! Just hear him!"
"Why. you have heard him every
?veiling for days and days. He has
get watermelons to sell. Probably
nine out of ten of them are as green
as grass, but lot him sell them if he
can. The more cholera morbus the
better for the drug stores anil doctors."
"But the cry goes right to my heart,"
protested Mr. Bowser. "My poor fa
ther died after eating a watermelon
and my Uncle Jim because he hadn't
amy teeth to eat one with. The ped
dler knows it and is hollering to add
to my grief."
"Don't tie childish, Mr. Bowser. The
man doesn't even know who lives here.
Did I tell you that l wanted to get at
my houseeteanlng next month?"
"And now he's yelling 'Gooseber
ries!' "
"Well, let him yell."
"But I tell you he knows that Bow
ser lives here, nnd he wants to spite
me by adding to m.v grief. It was
gooseberry tarts that killed my sister
Mary and plain gooseberries that
killed my cousin Betty. Betty ate four
quarts of 'em right down and next day
whs no more."
"1 don't wonder at it. But let's talk
about something .more cheerful. Do
you think the next congress Is going to
take tip the tariff question?"
Stirred Up by a Song.
Mr. Bowser might or might not have
answered the question, but before he
i ottld get around to It a hired girl In
the next baek yard who was taking
clothes oiT the line commenced singing
at the top of her voice:
"In Scarlet town, whore I was born.
There was a fair maid dwelling.
And sue was known loth far nnd near
As lovely Uai-bara Allen."
??Croat snakes, but must I submit to
this?" groaned Mr Bowser ns be start
oil up. "Here 1 com? home loaded
down with grief and sadness. and a
peddler mn?t yell 'Watermelons!' and
?Gooseberries:' at me from the front
and a hired Url must warble a song at
me from the back!"
"I!m have patience," counseled Mrs.
Row set- " These people know nothing
of your sadness. See, the peddler has
driven on and the girl has stopped
singing. ' Let me ask you a question,
please. I)!d you partake of any fall
tonic today?"
"And my sister died after eating
gooseberry tarts!" he murmured ns he
wiped Ids eyes anew.
"Answer my question. Did you have
any fall tonic this afternoon? Did any
one recommend a tonic to take your
grief a way?"
"Y-e-s, just a little tonic. It was for
my laine back. I took about a table
spoonful."
"I'm! I thought so."
"And it has made me sad'-s-a-d."
"I see. Well, let me put you to bed.
and you'll wake up In the morning
feeling all right."
"And 1 won't be sad no more?"
"Not a sad. You won't even remem
ber whether it was gooseberry tarts or
pumpkin pie that did the business for
your sister. Come on."
"Yesh. I will come on. Mrs. Bow
slier, you are sho good -sho g-o-o-d
