ME. BOWSEE'S CANDY I
HE TRIES HIS HAND AT MAKING THE j
OLD FASHIONED KIND.
The Cat Gurgles With Joy at His j
Experiment, Which Would Have j

JUST us the Bowsers hud finished
dinner the grocer's boy handed
in a gallon jug, and as the cook
pulled the cork and found the J
contents to be molasses she reported j
that some mistake had been made.

Bowser. "I ordered the molasses as I
came along."
"But how did you happen to do that?"
asked Mrs. Bowser.
"I am going to pass a homelike evening,
and to help me do it I am going to
make some old fashioned molasses can- i
dy. I have been longing for some for
months past."
"But you can buy any amount of it." j
"Not the kind my mother used to |
make. You can buy a compound made |
t up of glue, molasses, coffee grounds, j
saleratus and shavings, but I don't j

want that sort. I never think of the
old farmhouse without thinking of molasses
candy. Mother used to make a
kind that one could never get enough

thing just as good."
"You'll only muss up the kitchen and
tnake the cook mod," sighed Mrs. Bowser.
.
"I shall muss up nothing, and the
cook won't get mad. I think she will
see what you fail to?the sentiment of
the thing. You may smile at my connecting
sentiment with molasses can'dy,
but it's there just the same. Some
of the happiest evenings of my boyhodd
were spent in?in"?
"In gobbling down molasses candy,"
she finished as he hesitated.
"There you go! Woman, is there j
nothing in the past sacred to you? Is .
it nothing to yon that my parents are
dead, my brothers and sisters scattered
and that the dear old homestead is

and saw that there was fun ahead and
gat down to wait for developments.
"I am sorry if I hurt your feelings," ,
said Mrs. Bowser after a time, "but it
never occurred to me to connect seuti- j
ment and molasses candy. There are i
*ongs about boyhood and pear trees, !
cider mills, babbling brooks and all
that, and 1 don't know why they
shouldn't siug of boyhood and molasses
candy. The cook has just gone upstairs.
and you can have the kitchen
all to yourself."
Mr. Bowser walked to and fro and
Jooked at her. but as she said no more
he Anally descended the stairs and began
to work. The cat followed him,
and as she saw him poking up the fire I
and pouring the molasses into a kettle '
she walked around and gurgled to her- i
self. When the jug had been emptied, |
the kettle was placed on the stove, and
Mr. Bowser sat down with a big spoon
in hand to stir the contents and call up
r?lrt rer>nl lections. There were more
recollections than stir, and as a con- j
sequence Mrs. Bowser soon got the j
scent of scorched molasses. She didn't I
feel it her duty to make any investiga- j
tiou. however. Even when the kettle j
suddenly boiled over and a great cloud
of smoke swept across the kitchen and :
upstairs, causing Mr. Bowser to cough i
and the cat to sneeze, she made no in |
terruption.
"That's as it should be." he mused j
as he stirred away. "There was always
a buruy smell in the house when
mother was making candy. That smell
takes me back to the dear old days,
?i?aagqoomM.m wi mhiumki II na
and I feci as if I could cat the whole !
out/it. 1 must watch for the air bubbles."
In ten minutes more he saw them
rising to the surface and poured the
contents of the kettle into a pan to cool.
In a dim way ho remembered that his ;
mother used to put in flavorings, and.
hunting through the cupboard,he found
vanilla and cinnamon and put them in
with a generous hand. As lie cooled a j
spoonful, however, there seemed to be j
something lacking, and after a mo- [
ment's thought ho went up stairs and j
queried of Mrs. Dowser:
"Don't you remember that I bought j
n bottle of wintersrrcen essence some !
time ago? It's exactly what mother i
used to use in her candy. Bless me. ,
but how many times 111 mv boyhood :
I have hunted for the delicious winter- |
green berries! '
"If there is any, you'll find it in the j
right hand cupboard." she replied, "but j
you want to bo careful. There are a j
lot of other bottles there. It smells as
if you had scorched the molasses."
"Just enough to give it the right
taste. I'll show you some candy that j
is candy in about ten minutes. If this J
smell gets out on the street, everybody j
will be wanting a taste."
There were a score of bottles in the ;
cupboard, and Mr. Bowser ran his eye j
over them and selected one and sniffed !
its contents ancl poured them into the j
dish and stirred vigorously. This was ;
the finishing touch. He waited to j
grease his hands with butter and then i
bore the dish up stairs in triumph and I
set it down under Mrs. Bowser's nose !
and said:
"If you don't say that this beats any- !
thing you ever tasted. I'll buy you the
nicest bat in town. Pitch right in."
"It has a queer smell," she replied as |
she sniffed at it.
"Your nose must be off. The smell is j
simply delicious, and as for the taste? .
ah-urn!"
There was only one "ah?um 1" He j
began to choke as he chewed, but recol- [
lecting that Mrs. Bowser had opposed i
him he bravely hung on until she sud- j
denly rose up and said:
"Are you sure ycu got the right bottle i
out of the cupboard?"
"Of course I'm sure. What's the mat- j
tor with you?"
"It smells as if you had flavored it J
with benzine. I know the cock had a j
bottle of it to clean a collar."
"But do you think I'm such a fool
that I can't tell benzine from winter- j
green?" he shouted, though he turned j
pale and lost his taste for old fashion- :
ed molasses candy in an instant.
"We will see."
He followed her down to the kitchen,
and she picked up the empty bottle j
and read the label and held it out to i
him. The word "Benzine" was bigger
than a house, but he had doped his |
candy with three ounces of it.
"Did your mother use this flavoring
in your happy boyhood days?" she j
asked as he turned red and white and ;
a look of fear came into his eyes.
"Am 1?am I poisoned?" he whispered
in reply.
"No. but it's not your fault. Is there j
nothing in the present sacred to you?
Why didn't you open a box of chloride
of lime and douse it in? If you want

"Wo-woman, I understand! I see
through the plot! I?I"?
"You sit down and think of your boy- |
hood days." she interrupted?"of your j
mother and old fashioned molasses
candy and benzine and death! I'm
going to bed. and I'll pitch that dish
out of the window to the cats as I go
along!"
Mr. Bowser tottered to a chair and :
sat down and thought and thought. At
midnight Mrs,. Bowser came softly j
down stairs to find him asleep in his ;
chair and the cat sitting on the kitchen
table to act as his guardian angel.
The feline had a grin on her face, but
she wasn't saying a word to disturb
the harmony of the occasion.

While yet the morn was hazy:
The neighbors' boys made such a noise
They almost drove him crazy.

For nervous women there is no better

Prescription. It cures the diseases
which produce nervousness in
women, irregularity, debilitating drains,
inflammation, ulceration and female
weakness. It tranquiiizes the nerves,
encourages the appetite, and induces refreshing
sleep.
"When I began taking vour medicine I was
not able to stand on my feet ten minutes at a
time," writes Mrs. Hattie Borrailaile. of 113
Syriae Street. Nashville. Tenn. ''Had fallinv
oi uterus, .r.d kidney and liver disease, and was
so weak and nervous I could not keep still.
Would take nervous shells and almost" die at
times. I had several different doctors attending,
but they could not do me any good. The
last one I had said I would never get up again.
Told him that I was taking your ' Favorite Prescription
' and 'Golden Medical Discovery,1 and
he said. ' Might just as well take that much
water each day.' But 1 thought I would give the
medicine a fair trial. Before I had finished the
first two bottles 1 was able to get outside the
house and walk around the yard. I kept oa
taking the medicines and they cured me.''

One time my father came home quite

built in its place. After awhile

The Little White Sna.
The sky had a gray, gray face.
The touch of the mist was chill.
The earth was an eerie place.
For the wind moaned over the hill,
Eut the brown earth laughed, ard the sky
turned blue
When the little white sun came peeping
through.
The wet leaves saw it and smiled.
The glad birds gave it a song?
A cry from the heart, glee-wold.
And the echoes laugh it along.
And the wind and I went whistling, too.
When the little white sun came peeping
through.
So welcome the chill of rain
And the world in its dreary guise?
To have it over again.
That moment of sweet surprise.
When the brown earth laughs and the
sky turns blue
As the little white sun comes peeping
through.

Landis' Anecdote About Hawlcy.
In January, 1001, when there were
so many deadlocks tu state legislatures
in the endeavor to elect senators ol'
the United States. Charley Landis of
Indiana told me this: '"Some time ago
two little girls were strolling through
the c-apitol to see the sights. Finally
they reached the big doors of the senate
chamber and started to go in. but
one of the assistant doorkeepers stopped
them. Still they lingered near till
that particular doorkeeper vacated his
post. About that time General Joseph
T~> ITnti'lr.i* cAnot/M? t'i'Am Pr?nnnAtI/>iit'
xv. Uti iV\? , otua tui iiuui \^v/uuv;v.iivu w,
came through the big doors out of the
senate chamber and happened to stop
near the doorkeeper's chair to light a
cigar. The little girls espied him and.
attracted by his kindly face, sidled
up to him, and one of them astonished
him by asking, 'Mister, how much
does it cost to get into the senate?' "
Judge Rocker's Story.
Hon. W. W. Rucker of Missouri, who
was for many years a nisi prius judge,
thus describes a tilt which took place j
between two lawyers in his court:
"The defendant's counsel asked leave
to file an answer in vacation, to which
the plaintiff's counsel objected, and the |
court ordered the answer filed at once. |
The attorney for the defendant insisted
that he could not file his answer instanter.
as his client resided some ten
miles away, and lie (the attorney) had
forgotten the exact facts he wished to I
set up in his pleading, and he appealed
to opposing counsel to agree to extend
the time for him to plead. This was
refused. With agony depicted in his
face, he again pleaded with the court,
saying: 'Plaintiff's counsel requires an
impossibility of me. lie insists that I
file my answer today. lie might as
well ask me to make a o-year-old mule
in a minute. It can't be done.' "
Humcr in a Brief.
If the average citizen wore asked to
name the sort of document least likelv
to contain even ;i trace of humor. I
lie would hesitate between a lawyer's
brief and a funeral oration. Yet all
briefs are not as dry as a powder magazine.
Iu his brief in the St. Louis
court of appeals in the case of the estate
of Susan E. Iloustoi versus the
estate of John A. Thompson, which
has been in litigation since 1SS1, exSenator
Houston W. Johnson, an eminent
Missouri lawyer, thus exercises
his humorous faculty:
"Without intending the least disrespect
to old ago. an object always of
the highest veneration, we beg pardon
for a slight reference to the antiquated
or musty condition of the plaintiffs'
cause of action. It bears on its face
the marks of time, a striking reflex of
advanced years and unmistakable evidence
of a ripe old age. It has seeu
the frosts of many Decembers. It is
aged and gray. It has enjoyed a long,
silent and undisturbed ronose. scarcely
surpassed by that of tlie immortal Rip
Van Winkle. It is an old settler?that
is, it -waits till old age to settle. At
the time of its birth the sponsors,
Susan and John, were yet in the heyday
and gusli of youth, with a vigorous
maturity budding and blossoming
upon their faces. Yet notwithstanding
they both lived out the time allotted
by divine writ to mortal man a*d have
been gathered to their fathers, their
mouths closed in death and their poor,
lisping, stammering tongues lie silent
in the grave, the plaintiffs' cause of
action appears to survive and seems
to say in the last words of the immortal
Webster, 'I still live,' and aft- J
er an uninterrupted and unbroken rest
reaching up to within a few weeks or
months of the time allotted to it by
mortal man to live, and after all its
contemporaries have gone to that
bourn from whence no traveler has
ever returned, a new generation npon
the scene of action seeks to accomplish
that which in its infancy, its youth, its
middle age, it failed to do.
"The nronrietv of the conduct of
those who have aroused this antiquated
sleeper which has been permitted to
repose until life was almost extinct
may be reasonably questioned by ail
fair minded, disinterested persons acquainted
with the case, from which
the conclusion is inevitable that it
would have been better to have left it
to the sleep that knows no waking.
Oh, Susan; oh, John, had the cruel
hand of death spared you for only a
few months longer it would not have
been thus!"
The Ruling Passion.
For several days after the fire at
Willaru's hotel in 100! it was a
theme for conversation in the cloakroom.
Mr. II. J. droves of the Kansas
City Times says that Judge McDougal.
an eminent lawyer of that city, was a
guest at Willard's and escaped from
the flames dressed only in his robe do
nuit, but even in that sad plight he
gave another ilh straiion of the old
Faying about the strength of the ruling
passion. Ha re foot, bareheaded, with
the mercury below zero, McDougal
. .. .. aw?
|
walked up to a group of Missouri
friends assembled on the icy sidewalk
in front of Ebbitt's, and before any of
them had time to congratulate him upon
his lucky but narrow escape from
death he astonished them by asking,
"Boys, have any of you a cigar in your
pocket?" Some one handed him a weed,
and they fell to wondering why he
didn't call for clothes or a blanket.
The Constitution Saved.
Rodenberg of East St. Louis, who
has since retired from congress, said:
"While the Willard tire was raging
much merchandise, furniture, raiment
and bric-a-brac were thrown out of the
windows; also some books. Many
attests escaped by means of the rope i
ladders. When Judge Crumpacker of
Indiana reached terra lirma, he grabbod
one of his favorite lawbooks and
in his night clothes wended life way to
the Ebbitt. Mudd of Maryland, seeing
Crura packer hugging his lawbook to
his breast, remarked. 'Thank God. he
has saved the constitutionV "
Heard cr.d Culberson.
Colonel J. T. Heard told this: "Several
congresses ago Judge David 15.
Culberson and myself had seats side
by side. One day the judiciary committee
called up and put upon its pasI
sage a bill to increase the salary of
j United States judges. Culberson, a
member of the judiciary committee,
I snnnnrtml nnil vntorl for th#? hill 1
voted against it. Culberson said to
me, 'John, what did you do that for?'
*1 am representing my people,' i replied.
'But you know very well, John,
that these federal judges are not paid
enougii. and therefore you ought to
vote for this bill.' '.Judge,' I answered,
'ail that may be true, but I am not half
so much interested in seeing their salaries
increased as I am to so conduct
myself here that no gentleman will be
drawing my salary after the end of
this term.' Judge Culberson shook his
fat su5*es and said, 'Well. John, while
you cannot he ranked among the solar
walk statesmen you arc the most
candid of mortals.' Culberson after
that always addressed me as his candid
friend." concluded Heard.
A Compliment to Townc.
It rarely happens that a man who is
not a member of the house can or does,
either intentionally or unintentionally,
break a quorum of the house. That
seemingly impossible feat was performed
by Senator Charles A. Towne
of Minnesota on Jan. US. 1001. the last
day of his brief term in "the less numerous
branch of the national legisla
turo." During his single term in the
house Towne established a national
reputatiou by his great speech on silver.
On the JSlh. when it was orated
around that Towne was making a set
speech in the senate on the Philippine
problem, so many representatives went
over to the north end of the capitol to
hear the distinguished orator that the
quorum was broken, and there had to
be "a call of the house" before business
could be proceeded with. Republican
representatives as well as Democrats,
Populists and Free Silverites
deserted the house and crowded the
lobbies and aisles of the senate chamber.
It was a splendid aud unique
compliment to the brilliant young Minnesotau,
cue which he will probably
treasure in his memory forever.
From Page to Chief of Engineers.
One of the finest gentlemen ever in
the service of Uncle Sam is General
John M. Wilson, until retired last year
chief of the engineer department. lie is
dignified, as becomes a soldier in his
position, but accessible, affable, accommodating
and kind hearted. I set it
down as a universal rule to which
there are no exceptions that a man
who is good to children is a good man.
One day last year I had business in
General Wilson's office. My little 10year-old
boy accompanied me. On the
mantel of the general's room is an Indian
totem, a rare curiosity. While he
was giving all the informa.ion I wanted
he noticed the child, who in open
mouthed wonder was gazing at the
totem. The veteran soldier, who l'ought
from the first Bull Run to Appomattox,
got up, went over to where the tiny
chap was standing and explained all
about the totem as patiently as any
woman could have done, confirming
the old saying that the bravest are the
gentlest.
General Wilson is a native of Washington
city and was appointed senate
page in 1S-PJ through the influence of
Hon. George W. Jones, then a senator
from Iowa. He frequently dined with
William II. Seward, rode his horses
and went on errands for the brilliant
New Yorker. He knew all the notable
men of that day. He saw Calhoun
when he was in the senate for the last
time, heard Senator J. M. Mason of
Slidcll and Mason fame read Calhoun's
last speech to the senate, which the
great South Carolinian was too feeble
to deliver himself; heard Clay deliver
a speech on Calhoun and heard Webster
in his great 7th of March speech.
One day Senator William M.* Gwinn
of California, usually called "Duke
Gwinn," said to Wilson. "John, don't
you want to go to the Pacific coastV"
John said he woultf be delighted. Consequently
Senator Gwinn secured tin4
necessary transportation, and the lad
went forth to seek his fortune in the
new El Dorado. He soon found himself
clerking in a store at Olympia in
the newly created territory of Washington.
The time came when Hon. Columbia
Cnsserly. the first delegate from
J that territory, had to appoint the first
cadet, and he wrote to friends in
Olympia to select a boy suitable for
the place. As Wilson was the only boy
in the embryo capital of a great state
that was to be and now is, he was selected
and left off merchandising to
begin soldiering, which he kept up until
retired to the great credit of himi
self, his sponsor. Delegate Casserly;
the northwest corner state in Uie Union
and the whole country.
