Displays Great Ignorance Concerning His Ability to Raise Wheat and Corn and Till the Soil and Makes a Fool of Himself. [Copyright 1907, by Homer Sprague.] Mr. Bowser had been very quiet for five days. He had made no experiments and no purchases. He hadn't threatened the cat or pursued any " umbrella menders. He hadn't tried any gas saving patents or meddled with the water pipes. Mrs, Bowser had watched him closely and been a good deal worried. That he was lying lj>w to break out in some new spot she finally realized, and it troubled her to guess what new idea he would develop. When three days had gone* by without an outbreak, the cook came to her and whispered: "Ma'am, I'm a girl that is nearsighted." "Yes?" *Tm lop shouldered, and my toes turn in." "I know." "I've never been to May parties and circuses like other girls." "No." "I can't dance or sing or play the - J !i.U ^ planner, and I've never mneu wnu ?i street car conductor." "Well, Annie, whartare you trying to get at?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "Just this, ma'am: I've got a beau at last He's a young man and skeary. "I'm lop shottldebed, and my toes tubn in." Mr. Bowser has been keeping quiet so long that I'm expecting a dynamite explosion any minute. If there is one and he scaWmy young man off, I never, never can forgive him." There Was 1N0 Explosion. There was no explosion, although a climax came to Mr. Bowser's strange conduct. On the fifth morning at the breakfast table he quietly observed: "Mrs. Bowser, I am going out into the country today and may not be home at the usual hour." "Isn't it too late to hunt rabbits?" she asked. ; . "I am. not going to hunt rabbits." He snapped his answer in such a way as to forbid her from pursuing the subject further, and, though she wondered a great deal, she had no more to say. When he was ready to leave, he Vn* vr-sviiM tolanhnno h*?r if anv OtUU UU T? VUIU ??v thing happened to detain him overnight and, went away with a cloud of .mystery clinging around him like an April fog. He was hardly out of sight when the cook came upstairs to whisper: i "Is it to be dynamite, ma'am, with tiie house tottering about our ears?" "Of course not." "Won't he cut the water pipes and bring on another Johnstown flood?" "No." "Thank hearings for that! One explosion, no louder than a bang, would scare my young man away forever." Wanted to Buy Farm. Mr. Bowser had got his regular spring fit on' to buy a farm. He realized that if he said a word about it to Mrs. Bowser she would produce facts and figures to prove that he ought to be sent to an insane asylum, and he was therefore going to have the farm bought before he said a word to her. He took a suburban car running ten miles out and did not get off until he had reached the terminus. He looked arcrand the car for a toil hardened farmer to talk with, but he found none. There was a squint eyed man, however, who evinced a disposition to be friendly, and after a few remarks on the weather he was asked if he knew of any farms for sale. "Want one for vourself?" he Queried in reply. "Yes.** "Ever do any farming?" "Not to speak of." "Expect to make a living at It, or do yon want it for a plaything?" "I am not in the plaything business," stiffly replied Mr. Bowser. "If I find a farm to suit me. I shall buy it and move on to it. I shall farm to make money. I shall farm for my health. I shall farm to get away from the dust and racket, the graft and vice of the city." Thought Bowser Crazy. The man looked at him in a curious and puzzled way a moment and then took a seat on the opposite side of the car. Mr. Bowser thought his conduct rathsr queer, but said nothing, while the other presently sneaked out on the j rear platform and said to the conductor: "Have you taken notice of that baldheaded chap in there?" "Not particularly. What's the matter with him?" "Cray as a bedbug. If he jumps on to me all of a sudden and kicks my fibs in, I shall hold the company responsible for all damages." Mr. Bowser didn't jump on anybody. When he left the car, he took to the highway and walked a mile. Then he came to a farm he liked the looks of and turned in. The farmer was grinding an ax at a stone under a cherry tree, and his two strapping sons were tearing down an old rail fence and laying up a new one in its place. Mr. Bowser felt a farmerish instinct rise within him as he looked around. The robins and bluebirds were singing, the young lambs were gamboling, and nature was getting a summer hump on her. He imagined Mrs. Bowser churning at the back door while he swung a scythe in the meadow, the corn growing and rustling, the yellow wheat waving in the summer winds, and his expression was growing childlike and bland when the farmer left the grind' stone to ask: "Well, do you wish to buy chickens or lambs?" Liked Looks of Farm. "I am no chicken buyer," was the reply in tart t^nes. "I rather liked the looks of you* farm and so turned in. Perhaps it's for sale?' fhA farmer and his sons took a cood long look at the man before thein, and then the farmer replied: "Yes", I might sell if I was offered my price. Won't you sit down on the bench?" Mr. Bowser had never set out to buy a farm before, but a sort of natural instinct told him that there were certain questions 'he ought to ask. lie therefore sat down and lighted a cigar and assumed a knowing air and queried: "What's the submarine soil of this farm? I see that the surface is a sandy loam." "Do you mean subsoil?" asked the father, while the sons winked and grinned. "Of course." "It's blue clay, the best subsoil in the world." "What's your principal hay cro]>? clover or Holstein?" "You must mean timothy?" "Yes, timothy." "Why, we grow both, of course." "And how many hundred bushels of wheat to the acre?" continued Mr. Bowser as he scowled at the grinning sons.- * ' "How many hundreds? Lord, man, but you can't mean hundreds! Land that will grow thirty bushels of wheat to the acre Is wortn wanting nrty miies to see. My land grows about twenty,* and it's called mighty good land." "W?ll, about corn?" was asked as Mr. Bowser's face began to get very red. "I've gone as high as forty bushels to the acre." "Did it grow already shelled?" . Both sons laughed right out, while the father looked at Mr. Bowser and scratched the back of his head and wondered what manner of man had dropped down on him. He finally answered: "The farm that grows shelled corn and wheat that don't have to be thrashed is five miles farther along the road." "But you make maple sugar all the year round, don't you?" continued Mr. Bowser in his desperation. Refused to Sell to Him. The father snorted, and the sons went "Haw, haw, haw!" and slapped their legs. Mr. Bowser jumped up, with fiery face, and was beginning to say something about insults when the farmer motioned him to silence and said: "Stranger, you don't look like the man who once sold me a gold brick nor like the feller that stole my hogs. _ I guess you are a respectable man who is a leetle off in the head from shoveling snow last winter. This farm is not for sale to you. I have never made o -nr-onf fnlrinrr nrlnntdcrn nf nllilrl " v.*. hood or insanity. If you have got a wife and will give me your name, I'll go in and telephone her where you are and ask her to send out for you." There was just one dreadful moment when Mr. Bowser thought he would explode. Then he got hold of himself and turned away and walked down to the gate and out of it. and down 'the road toward the car. He knew he was a wrecked man and that he should , never smile again, but with Spartan heroism he would not let the enemy see the iron in his soul. They called after him, and they haw, haw, hawed, but he walked and walked and never turned his head. Brahma cows and Leghorn turnips were no more to him. M. QUAD. As Usual. "Why are they crowding around the well? Some one in trouble?" "Yes; there was a woman at the bottom of it."?Boston Globe. ! PHYSICAL CULTURE. The Kind Hiram's Son Advised Him to Take. Hiram in old age wonders why he can't do as much as he used to do. Hiram's son being away from home, he writes to him for information as to how he may regain his health. His son, being a good athlete and knowing the value of physical culture, thinks that it would be beneficial to the old man to take morning exercises and so writes, but his imagination runs away with him at times as follows; "Dear Dad?In order for you to hring back your health and be as good a man as you used to be you should be come an athlete and go through some good, strong and powerful exercises. The first thing when you rise early in the morning you should give a leap in the air, hit your snoot against the ceiling and clap your heels lightly nine times together before you touch the floor. By doing this once over It will give your blood a good circulation and strengthen your nerves. It will also prepare you for the next performance which you are about to undergo. Give a high kick and slap your toes against the ceiling and at che same time fall to the floor upon your head thrice. This exercise will strengthen the neck bone, harden your head and keep the brain in good order. After this you should hoist the lid and go out on the roof and take deep breathing exercises. rin thp liifh ftftmpflnn. Wnlk off tho roof as though you -were walking through the air, but take good care that you fall flat to the ground on your stomach. This will prolong your wind, develop your breast, also make you see stars. Then you should walk In and get ready for breakfast and put up a growl about the victuals and all that's on the table. This exercise will prepare you for the difficult ups and downs of this world. All of these exercises should be undergone not less than once a day for a week, and if you are alive when your week is up you will be a healthy and ablebodied man." ?Judge's Library. / A Captain of Industry. A Kansas politician was asked by his wife to lay aside politics long enough one day to dig the potatoes in the garden. He consented and after digging for a few minutes ne returned to the house and said he had found a coin. He washed it off, and it proved to be a silver quarter. He put it in his jeans and went' back to work. Presently he went to the house again and said he had found another coin. He washed the dirt off of it, and this, time it was a silver half dollar. He put It in his jeans. "I have worked pretty hard," said he to his wife. "I guess I'll take a short nap." When he awoke he found that his wife had dug all the rest of the potatoes. But she found no coins. It then dawned upon her that she had been ''worked."?Philadelphia Ledger. A Record "Break" (Billiard Term). Master?What in thunder are you doing, John?

I never could forget that somebody else had lost it.". "That being the case," replied her husband, "I guess I'll give to some charity the $300 I made today." "Oh. Charley! Did you really? That with the $300 I have saved will be just enough to pay for the European trip that I've been dreaming of for years." ?Chicago Record-Herald, He Wanted Pie.
