Bowser PI He Takes Care of a Neighbo Has a Lively Time, hui Bowler and Is F; ) [Copyright, 1004, by T. C. MeClurc.] I I Mli. nau come uome i so good matured that after dinner Mrs. Bowser ventured J to observe: < "Mrs. Davis was over here tin's afternoon to tell nie that she and I had t been appointed on the refreshment i committee of the church festival."' : "Yes. Well, you can serve as well 1 as not,*' he replied, as he snapped his ? j fingers and smiled in an oily way at 1 i the cat. i "But she wanted me to go over to 1 I the church for an hour or so this even- i j ing to talk things over with the other j ladies.'' 1 I "Well, why don't you go?" 1 i "You see her husband is going out 1 this evening, and there is no one to ; 1 take care of her boy Sammy. If he c could come in here for an hour or so"'? | i "No reason on earth why little Sam- j 1 my can't come here for the evening. \ 1 He's about two years old, I believe, 1 | and I guess I can manage to entertain j j him. In fact, I rather like the idea." "But, not being used to children, you . 1 may lose your patience." "Lose nothing. Don't all the c-hil- \ dren in this block run after me and 1 want to take my hand? Tell Mrs. ! Davis to bring her youngster right f j along, and I'll entertain him for a . couple of hours and then rock him to < sleep. You talk as if I might get mad t and hit him with a sled stake." 1 "He may want you to get down on your hands and knees and play 'bear' \ with him." i "Well, I've done it a hundred times c with my sister's children." i "And if be cries for his mother"? "He won't. I'll keep him so busy t laughing that he'll never think of his < mother. I've felt all day as if I would ; I iii'irnrmmimmm? MH. iiUWSiJiC KAi 5>JbJL> A A U like to go back to 'my childhood days, r and it will be a real treat to have the ( youngster in here. <Het right along with you." s The child was brought in, and be- t tween Mr. Bowster and the cat he was *] too busy to notice his mother's depar- t lure. After he had pulled the cat's t tail for fifteen minutes the feline es- c caped from his clutches, and then lie 1 suggested in his childish way that he wanted a turn at the bear business. 1 "All right, sonny," replied Mr. Bow- c sor as he got down on his knees and < | began to frisk. j c Sammy was given a ride the length 1 of the hall and sitting room and also 1 allowed to pull such of Mr. Bowser's j hair as he could discover amid the 1 baldness, but this proved to be tame s sport, lie wanted to hear the "bear" * growl and see him knock things about. "Very well, young man. How's this 1 for the bear that broke into the little \ t boy's house?" 1 And with that he uttered a growl 1 that lifted the kid a foot high and al- j 1 most tumbled him over, and a chair i 1 was upset and twisted about on the ; fioor. It was too realistic. There ; i * i were howls of dismay that could have j been heard across the street, and it \ r took a deal of galloping about and ' i drumming on the piano to ease off the ! } howls. When they had quite died j i away Mr. Bowser remarked: j t "We'll drop tlie 'Pear1 business and : do a little singing. I remember that j < your father told me you liked to hear | it. .7ust wateh my mouth while 1 give , you a verse of the 'Sweet By and ! 1 | By/" jt Iii bursting iuto song Mr. Bowser i twisted his mouth in all sorts of ' r. I shapes, meaning to give the kid a run ' 1 for his money, but the boy got the idea ; > that he was being made l'niT <>f. and t only two lines had been sun a' when he t suddenly straightened out; and began I to kick and howl. t j 1'he eat eanie ba<-k. but neither the ! sight of her nor the diseord on the 1 piano had any quieting effect. hi fact. it was not until Mr. Bowser had gal1 lonetl no ?ini down with the howler in his arms until his legs aehed that the i yells tapered oft' into sobs. The hoy felt thai his confidenee had ; been misplaced and lhat lie had been ; j the victim of a put up job. and. though ; he ocasod to yell, he hold himself ready . 1 to break out anew ?m the slightest c provocation. He was sealed on the! floor and surrounded with pieces of ; 5 brie-a-brac, and he was ipiiet for seven ! or eight minutes-. Then he found the r things breakable and bad knocked ihe ! ) head off a small bus! of Shakespeare ' 1 a mi was trying: to smash a vase into ? r's Child One Evening and She Youngster Proves a inally Spanked. 5ve or six pieces when Mr. Bowser interfered and observed: "Young man, what you want for )lay things are a sledge hammer and a ;Obblest?)iie." The child felt the insult and injus:ice at once, and he put up his lips md kicked out and howled. On this )ceasion he meant that his voice should De heard at the nearest police station ind the patrol wagon dispatched to sake a prompt arrest, but after the linth or tenth howl he choked up and :urned red in the face and took the est of it out in kicks. The only thing Mr. Bowser could think of w^s to grab him up and canter down to the kitchen and pound on Che sink and let the water run from )Otli faucets. The youngster went shy in it for awhile, but finally eased off ind took the stove handle into his own lands and pounded away with such leartiness that the cook came down 'rom her room on the third floor and isked: "Has this house been turned into a unatic asylum, sir?" "It's this confounded young un!" redied Mi*. Bowser, as there came a irief interlude in the racket. "Is he some orphan you found on the itreet, sir?" "No. He's an orphan belonging next ioor, and if I owned him I'd thump :he life out of him. I)o you know what to do to amuse a kid?" "I've heard that hammering on a tin >an would do it." ^I'd rather hammer on him. I wonler what the effect of a good spanking would be?" "It always quiets my brother's chilIren." "Well, I'll see about it. Yon can go yaek upstairs, and it* you hear any pp^r i H'ii LET FALL HIS HAND. nore noises you needn't get alarmed. Home, kid, let's find souse sugar." The words appealed to the youngiter, and he surrendered the iron and >raced up. But not for long, however, rhis time it was Mr. Bowser's fault hat a calamity occurred. He got down he salt instead of the sugar box, and it the first taste the child realized that le had beeu kidded again. It was piling insult upon injury, and le would not have been a youngster >f sand to have passed it over. He commenced to get red in the face, his ?hin quivered, and the tears came to lis eyes, and all of a sudden ho gave dr. Bowser a vigorous slap on the aw and roared out. As he roared he ticked. and as he kicked ho squirmed md twisted, and it was something of i job to get him into the back parlor. Never in all his born daj*s had the land of father or mother been raised igainst him in anger, and when he felt limself being drawn over Mr. Bowser's aiee in a p isition to be spanked his 10wis ami struggles brought the cook lalfway downstairs to shout out: "If you want the paregoric you'll find t in the closet under the stairs!*' "But I don't want it. my good wornin?that is. this young limb of Satan wants something else and is going to jet it in about a York minute. Is there my danger of an explosion or anyhing';" ati- l?Ichildren have never exploded. sir." "Then I'll risk it. ; ixl here goes." And with proper paternal tenderness, jut at the same time with proper paertial vigorousness. .Mr. Powser raised ind let fail his hand a full dozen times.

"Is it over, sir:" asked the cook from icr perch on the stairs. "Yes. all over." "And does it live?" "11 does, and it has got just what it vas aching for." "And has my little darling given you inv irouhle?" asked the mother as she 'eturned with Mrs Powser. "Xot the slightest. ma'am. Indeed. >t;i I'd he glad to have you send him >ver here every night!"
