Bowser Is A Hustler He Gets the House Cleaning Done In Two Hours While His Wife Is Away. PARLOR IS HIS UNDUiiNLi Regains Consciousness Only to Find Doctor, Wife, Cat and Domestic at His Side. [Copyright, 1905. by R. B. McClure.] " ? SUPPOSE you won't be bome beI fore the regular hour?"' quesj[ tioned Mrs. Bowser at breakfast the other morning. "And what if I'm not?"' he asked. "I was going to assist the church society at a children's festival, and I may not be home until nearly G. I can give the girl orders about dinner, you know.? "I don't see why you shouldn't go," he said after thinking it over. "I heard you say the other day that you'd be busy house cleaning next week." "Yes. I can't put it off any longer. I'm two or three weeks behind all the -? i : ^ w other women arounu uere ass it i*. "Will it take a whole week?" "It will take four days anyhow. I wish there was some place where you could go and board for that time." "Perhaps I may hunt a place." "Well, I'll go along to the church this afternoon, and I'll try to be home as soon as you are." Nothing more was said on the subject, and when the mail was finished MR. BOWSER SMELL KD CAMPHOR AND OPENED HIS EYES. Mr. Bowser took bis departure. At noon Mrs. Bowser dressed, and at 1 o'clock she started for the church, seven blocks away. Mr. Bowser, unknown to her, was standing on a corner half a block away, and she had no soonerleft the house than he entered it. The cook heard him as he opened the door and came up from the kitchen to see what was wrong. "It's all right, Jane," said Mr. Bowser. "Business was a little slack at the office, and so I came home to clean house this afternoon and save Mrs. Bowser the trouble. I may want a little of your help." "But I'm busy wid the ironing, sir." "Oh, well. I can manage it alone. When we lived in the west they used to call me the lightning house cleaner, and I think I can still hold up my reputation. You go down "Slid attend to your work, and I'll rush things through alone." "Mrs. Bowser was saying that it would take four days, sir." "That's all she or any other woman knows about it. If 1 can't clean this house from top to bottom in two hours,, then I'll never do any talking again." "It's not me business, sir, but I don't think the missus will like it," still persisted the girl. "Nonsense! It will be all over with before she gets home. Get me a broom and a feather duster and a dust rag while I change my clothes." "If there is to be explosions around here"? "Get on with you! What is there to explode? You may hear a bit of a, racket up here, but it will be only me - > -fl.-. -4. .1 ,1 drugging uitr siepiauuci aiuuuu. Ten minutes later Mr. Bowser was at work. So far as his experience had gone, taking up carpets was the principal thing about house cleaning. He began in the family bedroom. The dresser and chairs were rushed into the storeroom, the pictures whirled off their hocks, and the bedstead came down with a crash when it came. While the pieces were being picked up the cook made her appearance and asked: "Is it the roof that is falling in, sir?'' "Certainly not. It was only the bedstead fell down. You go right back to your ironing and don't be alarmed." "But if you should break your leg you'll call down to me through the tube, and you'll also tell the missus that I didn't encourage you?" "Of course?of course. See me take this carpet up." lie got bis fingers under the carpet at one end of the room and gave a heave, and in about a minute the covering was bundled up and ready to throw out of a back window. "Mrs. Bowser would have spent a whole day prying the tacks out," he explained. with a bland smite, "while I have the carpet up before you could say Jack Robinson. Oet me that broom and I'll sweep the floor. I gave my self just eleven minutes to do the job. | and I did it in ten.'' The girl went hack to her irons, and Mr. Bowser gave the backs of the pictures a rub or two, swept up the floor, set up the bedstead anew and in thirty j minutes from the beginning was looking around saying to himself: "There?I've got this room all done. It'll be cooler and healthier with the carpet up, and so I won't mind that. Four days to clean house! I wonder what Mrs. Bowser could have been thinking of!" There were three bedrooms upstairs, aud an hour and a half finished them. In taking down the curtains from the j windows of the last room Mr. Bowser and tlie stepladder went over 111 company, and he was sitting up -and rub- j bing the back of his kea<Yfc md seeing stars when the cook came running up to ask: "Will yez give me one minute's warning before I'm to be scattered to all eternity?" i "Nobody's going to eternity," he replied as he tried to smile. "Then what was that crash, like a thousand oxen falling off a haystack? How many times, may I ask, can yez fall like that and not bring the house down wid yez?" "Didn't I tell you not to mind a few crashes?" hotly replied Mr. Bowser. "I'm running this thing, and if you get hurt I'm good to pay all damages. Get down to your work." Cooky reluctantly descended the stairs, and five minutes later the lightning house cleaner descended to the parlor. There was a grin of anticipation on his face as he looked around him. Here was real house cleaning and no make believe. All the damage he had done upstairs was to break a pane of glas^- knock the corner off a picture frame and lose two casters fr3m the dresser, but here! He began on the front parlor. Down came the curtains and portieres, the chairs and sofa went a-skittering, the pictures came off the walls with a whew, and before his back could begin to ache all the rugs were out of the back window. It was truly a lightning transformation scene. He had called for a feather ruster and a dust rag, and after devoting live minutes to rest he mounted the stepladder and began to dust. He wanted to leave nothing for Mrs. Bowser's critical eye to find fault with. He had fanned along the ceiling a few feet with the duster when he overbalanced himself as he reached. He knew he was going, but he was helpless, except to yell. He uttered one shriek?a shriek that lifted cooky below him a foot high as she ironed away?and then there came the sound of a thunderous crash. "Tell me, is it slaughtered ye are?" demanded Jane from the foot of the stairs. No answer. "Is the missus to come borne and find yese dead and buried?' Not a leaf stirred. ******* Mrs. Bowser had been at the church for about two hoifrs when a lady living in the neighborhood of her house arrived to say: "So you've got Mr. Bowser at the house cleaning, have you?" "Bless ye*i. no!" "But just as I left my house he was flinging rugs and things out of the window. Perhaps he's moving." Mrs. Bowser started for home at once with a great fear in her heart,v and she was still half a block away when she saw the cook at the gate. "It's lyin' a crushed strawberry he is, mum," was Jane's greeting. "Don't lay it to me, for I did my best to make hiin behave himself." "How did it happen?" "He comes home as soon as you leaves and starts in to play thunder and lightning with the house cleaning.. There was one crash that only broke his back and sivin ribs, but whin the next one came he didn't have time to say go.odby to you." Mr. Bowser smelled camphor and opened his eyes. An hour had passed. Mrs. Bowser, the cook, the cat aDd the family doctor were gathered around him. "He lives!" said the cook, as she saw his eyes open. "He is coming to!" whispered Mrs. Bowser. /IA/?tAT* *<rTT\A V/JL 4X\X\X\i\M uv^tvi. AAiN. only way to kill a jackass is to let the whole range of Catskill mountains fall on him at once." Then Mr. Bowser closed his eyes again and seemed to sleep, but down in his heart he knew that he would demand and secure a terrible revenge before morning dawned again. M. QUAD. She Knew Him.

Fred Seydel. ^ It, ^is ^ 3.gv^a,t pathy for her sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has had more experience in treating female ills than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been going on for twenty years, day after day. Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman o?,such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence of women, and every testimonial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been. Mrs. Fred Sevdel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: TViar Mrs "Pinlrham?? '' Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as I had female ills and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your kind letter of instructions and followed your advice. I am not only a well woman in consequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. I wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so much for me." Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female' troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substitute which a druggist may offer. If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for. special advice.
