BOWSER AN']) REFORM j I HE STARTS A CRUSADE AGAINST THE j NIGHT PEDDLERS. ! _ I ' j It Wa* Very Saccfuxfol For u.

I She reali/.ed this and offered him no excuse, while at the same time she kept a bag of hot salt on his ear, and tue family cat sot under the piano and took care not to pur too loudly. It had come 10 o'clock, and Mrs. Bowser was returning heartfelt thanks that no tramp had rung Use doorbell and that the back yard cats had fought in si "g'way, woman?g'wat!" lence, if at all, when a popcorn man came along. It was perhaps by accident that he stopped iri front of the Bowser residence, but stop he did. and his first jell would have lifted a baby out of its crib. He seemed imbued with the idea that every family on the block was stone deaf and that it needed a voice of thunder to let tlieni know that popcorn awaited them before retiring for the night At his second yell Mr. Bowser sat up with a look of wonder on his face, and at the third he rose from the lounge aud exclaimed: "By the great horn spoon, are we living in the barbaric age or the twentieth century?" "He'll go iu a minute," soothingly replied Mrs. Bowser, "and I think I'll heat the salt again and we'll go to bed." But the man didu't go on. He had come to stay, as it were. With a voice which would bave done credit to a bull he roared again and again, and as Mrs. Bowser's heart grew heavy and the cat felt her pulses tingle Mr. Bowser tore the bandage fn^i his face and said: "If you think I'm a man to stand any such outrage as this, I'll soon show you to the contrary. Where's my hat?" "But don't be foolish," she pleaded. "If you go out Into the night air, your ear will be worse, and it won't do any good to raise a row with a peddler, i He's got a license." "Is a man licensed to whoop and yell and roar like that?" demanded Mr. Bowser. "If he is. then I'll move out of this town tomorrow." "Please be quiet and come along to MRS. BOWSER CAME OUT AND H bod. The man won't stay more than i a minute longer." "No, you bet be won't! I'm going to begin rigbt here and now to find out whether we live in a Christian community or are camped out among a tribe of savages. G'way, woman? ; g'way!" Mr. Bowser clapped on his liat aud ; passed out. The popcorn man caught . sight of him and yelled the loudest yell of all, and his roar was still echoing ' when a hand fell upon his shoulder and a voice said in bis ear: "By the jumping Jupiter, if you yell again I'll make dog's meat of you!" "Eb, old man, what's the matter?" asked the peddler as he whirled around. I "The matter is that you've got to shut up and move on or there'll l>e murder done. The Idea of your com- j Jng out at 10 o'clock at night and yell- i incr like this! Move on with you!" "Don't get hot, old man. The people ! demand popcorn, and I am here to . supply the demand?only 5 cents a quart and fresh every hour." That peddler will never clearly remember what followed, owing to its suddenness. He had a basket on his | arm, and that basket went flying as he The Children's Friend. ! You'll have a cold tbis winter. I Maybe you have one now. Your j children will sutler too. For coughs, j croup, bronchitis, grip and other j winter complaints One Minute Cough j Cure never fails. Acts promptly. : It is very pleasant to the taste and perfectly harmless. C. B. George, Winchester, Ky., writes "Our little girl was attacked with croup late one night and was so hoarse she could hardly speak. We gave her a few j doses of One Minute Cough Cure, s It relieved her immediately and she | went to sleep. When she wcke Dext j morniDg she had no signs of hoarse- j ness or croup."' J. E. Kaufmann. Rev. Otis P. LeDk, aged 25. pastor of St. John s .Lutheran churcn, Lui- j man, Ala , puicided recently by shoot- | iDg himself with a pistol. The death of the young lady to whom be was engaged to be married is thought to have been the causa. hlmsyiTwas slammed against the fence He was slammed am! banged and chugged. ami when he managed to wrench himself loose and start off at a three mill- ( ute gait he left hat and coat and frag- j ments l>ehitul. It was a quick and decisive victory for Mr. Bowser, and c the excitement acted like magic on his j. aehing ear. He could have justly retired on his laurels, but as Mrs. Bowser j came down to the gate and begged him to do so he replied: ? "i have set out to do a little reform- ' ing, ami I don't propose to stop at one case. By John. I'll let >m know that e Bowser's in town before I'm through ( with 'em!" n At that moment a match seller turned n the corner with a yell. Whether he q was making a long day of it or had j gone to bed and got up again to supply humanity with matches was immaterial to Mr. Bowser, lie set out to meet him, and the meeting took place under a weeping willow. The peddler imqm with world he, i w rta ?l ^VUUQ III?U ??#?.* t fore liim, but lie didn't hist two miu- ^ utes. lie had just offered Mr. Bowser v an unprecedented bargain in redheaded ?j matches when he was seized in a grip . of Iron and used to mop up a large space of sidewalk. When his coat ^ finally gave way, lie saw his opportu- a nity and took advantage of It, and another laurel wreath gently descended ft upon Mr. Bowser's brow. In addition e to the laurels, several neighbors who J had got on to the racket threw up their q windows and shouted such stirring <3 words of encouragement as: e 'That's it. old man! Go on!" ^ ' Keep 'em going, Bowser?keep 'em going!" T "We want reform, and we'll have it!" Mrs. Bowser made another effort, but it was no use. If she had any chance at all, it was destroyed when a man came along singing a topical song at the top of his voice. He had been sing- fa lug topical songs all his life as he u trended his way homeward through S the night, no matter what the hour or a how many people had turned over in bed and cursed him, and Mr. Bowser's 7 inference was a complete eye opener. Only a few words passed. He was asked to shut up, and he replied that he'd l?e hanged if he would. Then he was seized and mopped and banged and slammed, and as he limped away ^ in the darkness he wasn't sure whether he had been toyed with by a cyclone p or fed through a thrashing machine, p This was victory No. 3, with more wreaths and words of encouragement, ^ ^ * 1 and Mr. tsowser leamu up me ^ fence and gasped and panted and felt k~ that feeling of deep satisfaction that ^ comes only to the earnest reformist as ^ victory perches upon his banner. P He was about to withdraw and reap '0 the benefits wlnjn a fish peddler, who had been seized with the bright idea I of getting ahead of his rivals on the c next day's sales, came along with his p horse and wagon. He not only had a j horn on which to blow, but a voice ^ with which to shout "F-i-s-h"' until ^ every sleeping babe on the block woke , up and wondered if he had turned into r whale. Ho made the mistake of 0 thinking that Mr. Bowser had come out for a bluefish for breakfast, and he was a licked man and his old bcrse was galloping around the corner hefore he discovered his mistake. He ^ limped away as soon as he could, but he was not a man to stay licked. On u ofiv.nf lia unit cnino frionds ' tut? lltTAl Ol.id.fc 1IIV*.

It took the mob i ten minutes to satisfy its vengeance, and when it had left hinj behind Mr. Bowser was a human wreck. They had pulled his hair, banged his head, blacked his eyes and reduced his clothes to rags, and almost every tooth c in his head needed to be tightened up. i? Mrs. Bowser came out and helped him up and led him slowly in, aud as he ^ dragged his painful way to the lounge I" vid fell upon it with a groan she ^ /JnootUci! down tue row remaining c hairs ori his head and gently said: & "You won't he out of the fiou.se for a month, and you'll probably he a ; r cripple for life, but never mind, dear, y You have found out what age you lire , in and reformed the town, and you ought to he real happy over it.
