MAKES MANY EXCUSES Doctor Reassures Her, Declaring It Is Only a Resting Spell to Get a Better Hold. [Copyright, 1906, by P. C. Eastment.] 1WAS standing oui on me iront steps when Mr. Bowser dropped off the car half a block away the other evening, and I saw at once that something was the matter with him. He did not turn and shake his fist at the conductor, and when a tramp asked him for money he did nbt grab the poor man and throw him against the fence. Between the corner and the gate a boy was driving a goat hitched to a wagon. The goat ran against Mr. Bowser and crowded him into the ditch. I looked to see that goat lifted high in the air and flung vnto a shade tree across the street, but nothing of the sort happened. Mr. Bowser simply smiled, patted the frightened boy on the head and came along. "Are you ill tonight?" I asked as he came up the steps and playfully pinched my ear, something that had not happened before in fifteen years. "111? I never felt better in my life," he answered. "The girl went to bed with a headache this afternoon, and I'm afraid we won't have a very good dinner." "That's all right dear. Headaches will happen, and we must put up with them." Good Grounds For Complaint. He might have complained of the roast, the. coffee, the pudding and other things, hut not a worn aia ne uuer. i ME. BOWSER RAN ITOI OUT OF THE TARD AND ACROSS THE ROAD. encouraged him to do so, but he would not His attitude puzzled and alarmed me. Wheu we were halfway through the meal I observed that the butcher was again sending too much bone with the meat and that many of the last lot of potatoes were bad, but he did not break out into threats against the butcher and grocer. On the contrary he smiled and replied: "We must not be too hard on them, Mrs. Bowser. The butcher must sell trie Dones 10 some one, aim puuuues me not always what the grocer buys them for." "I'm afraid the cook can't keep the 'place here," I continued, a moment later. "That won't trouble us, my dear. It is easy to get another." "I must tell you that a. boy in the alley threw a stone and smashed a pane of glass in one of the back windows this afternoon." On two previous occasions when we have had windows broken in the same way Mr. Bowser had got red in the face and jumped up and down and declared it to be my fault. If I replied that I was downtown when it happened he asserted that it was my duty to remain at home and watch the windows. "Smashed a pane of glass, eh?" he queried. "Oh, well, it was probably an accident He was throwing at a cat. I was a boy once myself and I know how reckless I was with missiles." Wondered at His Conduct. I looked at liim across the table and wondered if he wasn't going to drop dead. I said nothing further until we went up to the sitting room. He had sat downxajnd lighted his cigar and had the cat on his knee when I observed: "We might take a ride in the open car this evening." A week ago when I made the same suggestion he glared at me for half a minute and wanted to know if I thought he was the man to mix himself up with cattle and hogs. Now he smiled sweety and replied: "With the greatest of pleasure, dear. I think the ride would do both of us good." "Did yon know that the gas bill is just as large as last month?" I asked directly, determined to move him. V "Ididn't know it, but our bills are always so reasonable that we have no kick coming. I used to think a gas company full of trieks, but I hare changed my mind about that." "The range coal is out again. It ? ' i . wont so fast that I believe the coal man sold you a short ton." "I hardly think so. Of course there ; is lots of talk about dishonest coal men, but we must take it for what it is worth. We no doubt got all that was \ coming to us, and I don't suppose any of it has been wasted in the house." Gave Tramp a Quarter. Six weeks ago when in fear and trembling I had informed Mr. Bowser that the coal was out he had got up fairly howled. He charged the oal man with cheating him out of a quarter of a ton, and he charged me with having sold another quarter to tramps. I sat and looked at him and wondered if he could be my Bowser. I was still looking when a tramp came to the door. Mr. Bowser answered the ring, and when asked for a dime he pulled out a quarter and handed it over, with: "Of course I'll help you and be glad to do it." Now, two weeks ago that same tramp called and asked for a nickel, and Mr. Bowser ran him out of the yard and across the road and threatened liim } with state prison for life. When he had returned to the sitting room I asked: "Did you have a fainting spell at the office today-?'' "A what!" he exclaimed. "Why, of course not. I told you I never felt better. What made you ask such a silly question?" "Because I have a bit of news, and if you were not feeling well I wouldn't break it for a day or two." Broke News to Him. "Let us have it now. Ypu can hold the camphor bottle to my nose if you see me fainting." "Mother will be here the middle of the week." "Will she? That's good. I was thinking of the dear old lady this afternoon. I shall be glad to see her." "She is your mother-in-law, you know." h v . "Of course." "And when she is here she?she rather bosses you." "Of course, but I don't lay that up against her. I'll meet her at the depot with a carriage, and she shall stay all the rest of the summer with us." For the next five minutes I didn't know whether to telephone the doctor, ring for the ambulance or send out for the police. Mr. Bowser's demeanor fairly frightened me. It was plain that he was acting under some sort of a spell. By and by I determined to bring up a subject that has never failed to arouse his anger and bring him back to Bowserdom. He was smoothing the cat and praising the color of her eyes when I said: "Mr. Bowser, do you ever recall the cJiTv invp lpttprs vou wrote me before we were married?" "Once in awliile," he replied, followed by a laugh. "I have kept them and was reading them over the other day. It doesn't seem possible that you could have written such rot." "But I was like all other young asses. I thought you were the sun, moon, stars .and all else." "You used poor grammar and spelled many of your words wrong." "No doubt, my dear. When a feller is in love he doesn't stop for grammar or orthography. Lord, but how I did wast to die for you!" I had brought up the most painful subject in our lives and the one to prick him hardest, and yet he had not winced. He had even smiled complacently. I sat there and tried to think of something else, but gave up in despair. By and by he nodded and yawned and after a minute put the cat down and said: "Dear, if you don't mind I'll lie down on the lounge for awhile, but don't let me sleep more than an hour." In five minutes he was snoring. Then I went to the telephone and softly rang up the doctor and said: "Doctor, I wish you would come over to the house a minute." "What is it?" he asked. "Mr. Bowser has got a strange speil on." "What do you mean by strange spell ?" "Why, he won't find fault with anything and I can't make him mad. He Is as complacent as u clam. Do you think he has a presentiment that he is net long fer this world?" "Oh, he's all right," laughed the doctor. "Such spells come to all men. He's just resting up to get a better hold. Look out for him when he breaks loose again. Don't be at all anxious. I hare known a thousand cases of it. Good night." M. QUAD. Cabby's Suggestion.

From Java, Sumatra, Mauritius, Zanzibar and Guiana come the little browu flower buds of the clove tree. When gathered the buds are red and are dried by exposure to the smoke of wood fires and afterward by the rays of the sun. In a very short time they become of a deep brown color. To secure a monopoly and thus keep up the price the Dutch invthe seventeenth century destroyed all their clove trees except those in the island of Amboyna. The chief value of cloves lies in thoir essential oil, which forms about onesixth of their whole weight. Good Stage Elocution. It was one of Joseph Jefferson's distinctions that he was not only an advocate, but an example, of a>ck1 stage elocution. He was, however, an exception that proved the rule.
