OT A KICK OR COMPLAINT. rifo Apprehensive That He May Be Coming Down With Measles or Whooping Cough?He Astonishes Many Others. [Copyright, 1907, by P. C. Eastment.] When Mr. Bowser left home for the fice the other morning, he was talkig about the world turning on its Lis every twenty-four hours and the atter being one worthy of investigaon, and all day long Mrs. Bowser as worried over what he might do tat evening to prove that the world id or did not turn. She remembered Is buying new milk cows, Leghorn lickens, slabsided pigs, burglar arms, balloons and fire escapes, and \a xen a nrpnured for the worst when i came home at night. She half exacted that, his first words would tell ?r that he was going to start a frog irm, but one look into his face deghted her. Mr. Bowser was calm, e was composed. He was dignified. : was clear that he wasn't going to y any gas saving invention or make 1 experiment with the water pipes. Throughout the dinner his talk was liet and without enthusiasm. She irew out a hint about the world turn ' was a tramp who had called to ask fob monet. tg on its axis, but be did not rise to . He didn't seem to care a red cent hether the old world turned or stood ill. She expected him to break out 3 soon as dinner was finished and iey had returned to the sitting room, at he sat him down like any dignified itlzen -and lighted his cigar and took p the evening paper. After a few ilnutes there was a ring at the front oor, and he answered it in person. It as a tramp who had called to ask >r money. Unusual Calm. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred ir. Bowser would have blasted that amp's eyes for coming to the front xh*. Then he would have yelled at m. Then he would have rushed him }wn the steps and out of the yard, [re. Bowser waited in vain for sounds f conflict. In a quiet and dignified ay Mr. Bowser informed the caller lat there was a charities' lodging ouse two blocks away and advised Im to walk down there. He was not ren red In the face when he returned his chair. Only five minutes later ie woman next door began singing ad playing the piano. The singing as harsh and the playing harsher. nly a week before when the nuisance ad struck up Mr. Bowser had walked p and down the room making all sorts f threats. He had even asked where le crowbar was and vowed he would > in and smash that piano to splinters. Mrs. Bowser expected another scene, at none came. Mr. Bowser continued be serene. He didn't even try to relember whether the old ax was down dlar or out in the shed. The cook in le kitchen said that murder must irely follow such sounds, but she lis>ned and listened and heard no stir, rben the woman next door had tired sreelf out, Mrs. Bowser observed: "It seems to me that such things lould be forbidden by law." "But if she calls it playing and slngig we must put up with it," replied [r. Bowser, with a smile. Then the front bell rang again. He ent to the door to find three men. and ie of them explained that they were a immittee from the Ninth ward to Xer Mr. Bowser the nomination for le aldermanship. Previous commit?es when this sort of job had been lit up had been invited into the lirary and tendered wine and cigars, ut this one did not get beyond the ont hall. The callers were quietly at firmly informed by Mr. Bowser that e had no further aspirations for potical honors and must decline their Xer. They hinted that they would ke to talk things over while drinking bottle of claret, but he excused him?lf on the ground of business and orked them out. "Wliv didn't you accept the nomina on?" asked Mrs. Bowser when he relrned. "I prefer a quiet life and my own )nie," he replied. Not a mouth before he had express3 his desire to ruu for mayor and had lid that his home was the worst run stablislimeut iu America. When she ad observed that a committee was ?eking to "work" him, he had walked p and down and shouted and charged er with being the most suspicious > ami distrustful person be had e) heard of. 8aya Ha'll Consult Wife. A week before, unknown to ] wife, Mr. Bowser had looked at a s ondhand auto that was for sale a encouraged the owner to think would become the purchaser. The m had got tired of waiting and had co: around on this particular evening see whether the sale was off or He rang the bell in an aggressive w; and when it was answered he said"Well, Bowser, about that autoyou want it or not?" "I haven't consulted my wife yet." Mrs. Bowser overheard the wor and, as he had never consulted her his life about the buying or selling anything, she at once developed p pitation of the heart. "What's your wife got to do w it?" demanded the man. "A good deal, sir. I shouldn't thi of buying such a thing unless she v satisfied. I think, to cut the mat short and not bother you further, tl I will wait another year before inve ing." The man muttered a "Hump!" a departed without a good night, but 3 Bowser was still serene when he turned to his chair. A few minu later Mrs. Bowser remembered tl T^on+aH c/imathinp' from the dl ouc n uuivva store and that the coffee was out volunteered to do both errands, other occasions he had spent half hour to read her a lesson on shiftle ness, but he left the house this ti without a word.

"That change in a man always cob about a month before his death. I st be sorry to see that man laid away.

The grocer offered to send two b and two wagons with the two pom of mocha, he offered to go himself, offered to add a jar of jam to make for his neglect, bnt Mr. Bowser quit smiled and took the package under arm. "Did you rip him up the back, as ; call it?" asked Mrs. Bowser as i saw the coffee. "Brown is a very busy man th days," was the reply. "But are you going to trade there j longer?" "Why; of course.
