Troubles Ensue?Its Disgusted Owner Descends to Cellar and Makes Kindling Wood of It. [Copyright, 1903, by McClure, Phillips & Co.] AT 3 o'clock the other afternoon as I Mrs. Bowser was getting ready j to go downtown and do a llr k tie shopping Mr. Bowser made his appearance. If there hadn't been a smile on his face she would have been frightened. As it was, she started back and exclaimed: "What! You home at this hour! I hope there is nothing wrong?" ' Nothing wrong, my dear," he replied. "Is business slack at the office?" "Not so very, but I Jiad reason for wanting to come home at this hour. I'll have a surprise here for you directly." "What kind of a surprise?" she cautiously inquired. "The other night yod were saying that you wanted to get rid of that three-quarter bedstead in the spare room and get a full size in its place." 44And you've gone and bought one?" "That's the surprise, my dear." "But?but I wish you hadn't. I saw a brass bedstead yesterday that just WITH A BEDSTEAD AS BIG AS A BILLBOAED. suited me. and I was going down today to ask the price of it. Where did you buy it?" Just Happened Along:. "Well, I happened along to where an auction was in full blast, and I stepped in for a minute. This bedstead was going so cheap that I bid and got it. What are you putting on such a long face about?" "1?1 wish you hadn't. I don't want a bedstead bought at auction. Is it all brass?" "All brass! No; it's all wood. It's just the finest piece of mahogany you ever saw, and there's a history attached to it. There it comes now." . / An express -wagon and two men came driving up to the house with a bedstead as big as a billboard. To get the head and foot boards out and into the house Mr. Bowser had to tawe hold with the two men, and when the pieces were leaned up against the wall ih the back parlor they looked like the sides of a house. Mrs. Bowser was upstairs cryihg while the unloading was going ; on. When it was finished Mr. Bowser called her down and said* "You talk about bedsteads, but if I haven't got something here to make all I the neighbors turn green I'll eat my hat. Think of the mahogany in it when it takes two men to lift either piece! That wood will take a polish so you can use ft as a mirror. While the bedstead is now fully 200 years old, it will last hundreds of years longer. Any furniture man will tell you that it is worth all of $150 as a piece of furniture. to say nothing of the sentiment connected with it. but how much do you suppose I paid for it?" "I am sorry that you ever paid 2 cents for it," she replied as she choked back a sob. "What's that? Are ycu kicking alj ready? By thundgr, but I might have ! known it would be so! Ilere I go and ^ buy a bedstead worth $150 for $15, aud you are shedding tears over it!" ; "But it's a?a wooden bedstead." ! "And what of that? Hasn't every *j king and queen in Europe slept on a I wooden bedstead? You have read ' about Charlemagne, I presume? Well, j Charlemagne gave this bedstead to j Marie Antoinette for a bridal gift | when she married what's-his-name. ! Marie slept on this bed for fifteen j years. She was sleeping on it the niglit I before she was taken out and thrown | over a precipice. All this, and yet you | kick." j History Somewhat Mixed. Mr. Bowser had his historic facts i somewhat mixed up, but be was very j much in earnest in his admiration of ! the souvenir. ! "Weil, are you going to grouch i around all day or are you going tr> j praise me for finding such a bargain? ' be- finally asked. "1 thought you understood that evi j* erybody haxl iron or brass bedsteads these days," replied Mrs. Bowser. "But did Charlemagne have an iron or brass bedstead?" "They were not made in those days." "Did Marie Antoinette sleep on an iron or brass bedstead?" "Probably not, but I wish she had to sleep on this old thing now. How on earth are you ever going to get it upstairs? Even when you get it up there it will take up all the room in the bedroom." "Don't you worry about those trifles. My idea is that in buying furniture we might as well buy something of hisT^ T l-i o /I m r\i*a mAtiDT* IUJL1U lUlVt C3l< XJL i. u liau wvib iiiuuv j with me today, I should have bought a bureau belonging to Queen Elizabeth." "I wish 3"ou hadn't had enough to buy this bedstead. If I'd known you were going to do such a thing, I'd have bought a brass one yesterday out of my own money. If any secondhand man would buy it"? He Is Obdnrate. "What! Sell this Marie Antoinette j bedstead to a secondhand man? Never! His touch would be pollution. No secondhand man should have it for $200." "But no one would give you even a j dollar. There is no sale whatever for ! wooden beds." | "But I'm telling you that this was Marie Antoinette's bedstead!" shouted Mr. Bowser as his anger began to rise. "And who cares for that?" retorted Mrs. Bowser. "Look here, woman, my name is | Bowser. I am at the head of this house. I run things. I discover that we want to throw out a three-quarter bedstead and replace it by a full size. I drop into an auction room and find a historic piece of furniture worth $200 j going for $15 and send it home. You kick. You even tell me that I couldn't sell it again for a dollar." "And neither can you. You have just thrown away $15, and $15 more put with it would have bought the bedstead I wanted." Mr. Bowser walked down the hall and put on his hat and overcoat. "Where are you going?" she asked. "Down to the nearest furniture store to sell this bedstead for $25. You can get a brass bedstead on which Captain Kidd has slept if you want to." After a walk of two blocks he turned into a furniture store and said to the proprietor: J "I've got a mahogany bedstead up at the house that Marie Antoinette used ] to sleep on. It's worth every cent of $200, but you can have it for $25." "I wouldn't give you 25 cents," was the repl^ "Do you mean that?" "Certainly. If you have got a furnace in your house, you had better split the bedstead up for firewood." "But it once belonged to Marie Antoinette." "Or your grandmother!" Mr. Bowser glared at him and wanted to call him a sordid minded wretch, but, choking back his temper, he walked out and along to the establishment of a secondhand dealer. "I have got a wooden bedstead"? he began, but got no further when the dealer interrupted him with: 'fThen keep it." "But it's a mahogany bedstead." I " "Might as well be pine." "And it once belonged to Marie Antoinette." P A r> f-V> rvnvr Til rlrottt if VI KJU0<%?JL U. X 11 UiU H it away from your house for $3, but not a cent cheaper." Mr. Bowser was red in the face when he passed out and along to another shop, and there was a menace in his voice as he asked: "Do you want to buy a mahogany bedstead?" "Not on your life!" "Why not?" "For the same reason that-1 don't want to buy any last year's cabbage heads." "Will you take it and draw it away?' "Not much. You might try a woodyard man." Mrs. Bowser was upstairs crying again when Mr. Bowser returned. She heard him clattering down the cellar stairs and clattering up again. Then came a war whoop and blows of the ax. Whoop followed whoop and blow followed blow, and she gave him fifteen minutes before coming down. She found him standing amid the wreck and ruin of that Marie Antoinette bedstead, and the look on his face was fairly fiendish. They looked at each other for a minute, and then he dropped the ax and folded his arms and said: "Well, madam, I hope you are satisfied now!" M. QUAD.
