BOWSER ROLLERS *
Attempts to Cut a Few Pigeon
Wings, but Meets Disaster.
IGNORES WIFE'S WARNINGS.
Big Delegation of the Old Boy Club
Is on Hand to Witness the Exhibition?The
Old Fellow Comes to
Grief.
[Copyright, 1907, by E. C. Parcells.]
When dinner at the Bowser residence
had been finished the other evening
Mr. Bowser made a sneak upstairs,
and a few minutes later Mrs. Bowser
heard him softly opening the front
door.
"If you are going to the drug store.
I wish to send for something." she
called from her chair in the sitting
room.
"W-what is it?" he stammered.
She rose up and went out into the
hall to find him ready to go out with a
pair of roller skates in his hand.
"What does this mean?" was asked
after a moment.
"I was going to the rink to take a
few turns for the exercise of it," was
I fhfl eliomofoflad oncwdr
luy OUUlUV^i4VV.V& ?***W *? V* t
"But why didn't you say something
to me about It? Those skates are new,
and you must have just bought them.
Who advised you to put on roller skates
for exercise?"
"An instructor for a club gymnasium
was in the office today, and, noticing
how I dragged my legs when I walked,
he recommended roller skating. I '
knew I'd have a fuss with you if I
said anything about it, and so I was
going out quietly." .
Tried It Once Before.
"There will be no fuss, Mr. Bowser.
If you think it will do you good, I
shall be glad to have you go. You
ought to remember some things, however.
Last year you tried roller skating
in the garret, and after a crash
that nearly brought the house down I
PAK OP B0LU2R SKATES IN HIS HAND.
ran up to find you on the floor unconscious.
You had a lame back for three
weeks."
"But I must have tripped over something."
"You are not built for skating. I
don't want to hurt your. feelings, but
you must know that you are too pudgy
for such work. You are short and
fat and"?
"Stop right there, Mrs. Bowser!" he
commanded as his face grew red and
white by turns. "Your object is as
plain as the nose on your face. Because
you were never on roller skates
and are afraid to try them you want
to keep me from the rink. It's jealousy,
envy and spite and nothing else.
Pudgy! Short and fat! By John, if
tilings have come to tnis point, we
can't call in onr lawyers too soon!"
"But if you fall down and roll all
over the floor"?
"Who's going to fall down? Who's
going to roll all over the floor?"
"But when I saw you on ice skates
last winter"?
Why He Fell.
"Are ice skates roller skates? Is a
shovel a spade? Because there was a
perfect jam on the lake and I had a bit
of a fall you look to see me make a
holy show of myself at the roller rink
tonight Mrs. Bowser, you are driving
me very close to the dead line. Few
husbands would have stood what I
have. Be very careful about pushing
me further."
"I shall be glad to have you go, and
I hope you will have a good time," she
answered, regretting that she had argued
the matter at all.
He looked at her for a moment to
see If she was in earnest or indulging
in sarcasm and then left the house
With the observation that she needn't
sit up for him. A block away he met
one of the Old Boy club. The Old Bey
was glad to see him. He was also glad'
to learn that Mr. Bowser was bound
for the roller rink to cut a few pigeon
wings. Presently they met another and
then a third and fourth. it seemea as
if the Old Boys were putting themselves
out to meet the man who needed
exercise. Smarting under what
Mrs. Bowser had said, he asked of
them if they thought he was too pudgy
for skating.
Ought to Be a Good Skater.
"Great heavens, no!*' was the reply
of the spokesman. "You are simply
what is called a solid man. Any kind
of skating ought to come easy to you.
and, though you are a beginner. I
Shall be surprised if you don't astonish
the audience with your curlycues.
Pudgy! Lands alive, who could have
said that?"
j I At the rlftfc Mr. Bowser encountered ,
five more of the Old Boys. Any other
man might have suspected a put up
job, but it didn't even strike him as a |
curious coincidence. He hau walked
bravely into the lion's mouth, but after
getting there he began to feel a few
qualms. There were a hundred young i
people there, and, though he watched
for five minutes, he saw no one fall
down. Those qualms were added to ,
when a good looking young girl who j
stood near him called out to a young ,
man: .J
"Jimmie, be around when this old ]
fellow makes his debut. There will be (
a wagon load of fun. If he's got a ,
wife, it's a wouder she didn't keep
him home." ?
"Never mind her," remarked one of
the Old Boys. "It pains me to see such
frowardness in a young girl. Perhaps
she won't feel herself so smart when :
you have taught the mob how to cut a i
pigeon wing."
Begins to Have Doubts.
"I shouldn't like to fall down out
there on the floor," said Mr. Bowser
in rueful tones. (
"Fall down, man! Why, I should just
as soon look for the heavens to fall. (
We are all impatience to see you in
your great act. Shall I help you put j
on your skates?"
Mr. Bowser wanted to go home.
He wanted to be in that safe and
comfortable sitting room with Mrs.
Bowser.
He wanted to be smoking his cigar
and watching the cat on the hearth
rug.
Mrs. Bowser had called him pudgy,
but he would forgive her.
He fussed with his skates until he <
could fuss no longer. It had gone
around the rink that he was a chain- i
pion, and at least half the skaters had
taken seats to give him room. He
T1 <T oT-imit- n Qlldflon fit

tack of rheumatism and that his heart
was palpitating in a strange way, but
it wouldn't do. The Old Boys crowded 1
around him and spoke encouraging
words, and his skates were finally J
fastened on, and he rose up.
"Are you going to give us an exhibition
of fancy skating?" asked the
manager as he came up.
"I dun-dunno," replied Mr. Bowser
as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You see, I didn't expect there'd
be more than half a dozen people here
tonight, and"?
"Just keep your eyes on him if .you
want to know what roller skating is,"
warned one of the Old Boys, and with , (
that the man who wasn't pudgy was
launched out on the floor. For a moment
he stood like a man afraid tc ,
move an eyelash. He would have given
a billion dollars to be back on a
bench. He would have given two billions
to have been on his own front
steps. He would have given all the
gold and diamond mines in the world ;
to have been sitting near Mrs. Bowser.
The crowd took it the other way, however.
They thought he was acting in
order to increase the applause later on,
and they cheered and shouted. Mr.
Bowser hung to the spot like a dog to
a root, but he had to move at last.
There came to his heart a wild hope
that Providence might take care of his
feet for the next few minutes, and he
made a desperate dash.
Fell on His Head.
His right foot made a bee line for the
wild and woolly west and his left for
Toronto, Ont., and then he shot forward
and upward and came down on
the back of his head and knew no
more. It was a new feat, and there
was wild applause. His lying there all
sprawled over a quarter of an acre of
space was also a new feat and a dozen
of the more enthusiastic skaters
seized him and dragged him around
on the polished floor for five minutes.
When he finally opened his eyes h<j
had been deposited on one of the seats,
and an Old Boy was pouring cold water
down the back of his neck.
"W-what is it?" was asked. I
"Bowser, you go home." <
"W-what for?"
"Because you are a pudgy little man
and have made an ass of yourself. Oh,
if you could have only seen yourself
when you bounded into the air like a
billy goat and then came down on your
head! Ha, ha, ha!"
Mr. Bowser limped home. Mrs. Bow- i
ger was still up and waiting for him.
"Well, did you get your exercise?" i
she asked as he flung his skates down
in the hall.
No answer.
"Many people there?'
He threw his hat and overcoat down *
after the skates.
"How did you get along with your 1
pigeon wings?"
The silence of the grave, broken only '
by the creak of the steps as he crept
upstairs and undressed, with sighs, and
got into bed, with suppressed groans.
Mr. Bowser had skated his skate. He
was a high roller who had been brought
low. M. QUAD.

"MELON WASN'T CUT."
President of Railroad Company Thinks
Discretion Better Part of Valor.
The directors of the Great Mel?ti
Railroad company were gathered round
the board. It was a highly important
meeting.
"Gentlemen." said the president, "we
have, as you know, accumulated a sur
plus of $30,000,000. As honest and
painstaking men it only remains for us
to decide the form in which this shan
be distribute# to our hardworking
stockholders, of whom I?ahem!?am
oue of the largest."
At this moment the superintendent
of the road was announced.
"Gentlemen, excuse me for interrupting
you, but the fact is a strike hag
taken place at the other end of the
road and is rapidly spreading. The en*
gineers complain that they have to
work nearly fifteen hours out of the
twenty-four, which makes it impossible
for them to do their duty, thus increasing
the danger of severe accident. The
brakemen are paid starvation wages
owing to the fact that the ice trust
["Of which I am a director," murmured
the president], the coal trust, the
meat trust ["In which we are all vitally
interested," murmured the other directors],
have put up the price of all
necessities. Ilore are the demands of
the men."
The president, concealing his annoyance
as much as possible, glanced over
the paper handed to him and then said:
"What is your pleasure? Shall we

men?"
"Never!" muttered the other directors
unanimously.
Thereupon the president of the board
turned to the superintendent.
"You have heard our reply," he said.
"Make usual efforts to take care of
passengers and shippers, call on the
militia if necessary and issue a manifesto
showing how we have worked
and labored to preserve harmony, how
unjust the demands of our employees
Rre and how we will if necessary fight
to the death and put the dear public
to no end of inconvenience and trouble
rather than give up one iota of the
rights to which we are entitled under
the constitution."
Then, turning to the directors, he
whispered, "Gentlemen. I guess we'd
better not cut that melon until after
this strike is over."?New York Life.

When Father Has the Grip.
Poor mother weArs a worried look,
And sister wears a frown.
And if I venture up the stairs
They send me straightway down.
I'm going to the drug store now
Upon a hurried trip
To get some other kind of dope,
For father has the grip.
I heard him groaning in the night;
He said his head would split.
And then he thought his back would
break
In just a little bit;
He told us that his legs were sore,
And soon it was his hip.
It seems that everything is sick
When father has the grip.
The doctor came today and left
Some capsules, and he said
To take one each three hours until
The pain had really fled.
Said pa: "That means twelve hours before
I give this pain the slip.
I'll bet he'd find a faster dope
If he had got the grip."
And then he told ma that he thought
That he was going to die,
And ma says, "No; that isn't so,"
And gave the reason why.
Then pa got mad and told her that
He didn't want her lip.
Oh, there's no comfort in our flat
When father has the grip!
