BOWSER KODAK He Does Not Score Much of a Success With it. ilES OUT AFTER SUBJECTS. Encounters Three, Who Prove to Be Belligerent?His New Fad Attended With Difficulties, and He Finally Has It Out With Mrs. B. [Copyright, 1907, by Homer Sprague.] VV lieil Air. Duwsei V-'ume uumc u. evenings since with a bulging package under his arm and a glad smile on his face, Mrs. Bowser, of course, had a natural curiosity to know what he had purchased. He would not give her any satisfaction about it until after dinner, and then he asked: "My dear, has it ever struck you that I had the instincts of an artist about me?" "No, I can't say that it has," she honestly ansYvered. "That's because your mind has been on bargain sales. If there is a sale of Ill a cat's head where the cork ought to be. women's forty cent stockings at 28 cents a pair, you never fail to observe the advertisement." "Do you think you have the instincts spoken of?" "Think! I know I have. I have known it for years. One can't deceive himself about such things. There isn't the slightest question in my mind but that I was born for a great artist." "Was that why you were going to paint the front fence blue and the gate red this spring?" Could Not Understand Him. Mr. Bowser was walking around the sitting room with his hands ^crossed behind his back. At the words his face got red. and he stopped short and gave Mrs. Bowser a look that would have swept all the towels off the clothesUna nn n rrflfih riflv and followed it b.V saying: "How could I expect that a mind like yours could*1 understand one like mine? You can sit down to a dish of pork and beans and yum-yum over it, but you'd stand by a hollyhock the whole afternoon and never think it was any different from a cornstalk." "Well, dear, let's not dispute," replied Mrs. Bowser after a moment. "You have said that your grandfather was as artist, and perhaps his mantle has fallen on your shoulders. Are you going to try to paint a landscape?" It took Mr. Bowser five minutes to get over his injury, and he was still sulky over it when he said: "No, I'm not, but I've bought a kodak and propose to take a few pictures this summer. Any objections to that: Got any more sneers ready?" "None whatever. I think it a good thing, and I believe you will make a success of it. I will learn how to operate it, and when you are at the office 1 ? "Not much you won't! It's something not to be fooled with. You'd use it just as you would a coal hod. I shall do the artist work for this family." Unwrapped a Camera. He cut the strings of the package and unwrapped a fine kodak and explained that he had paid only $40 for it because he had once served on a coroner's jury with the man who sold it. It would have been $50 to any one else. "Wouldn't one for $5 have done just as well?" queried Mrs. Bowser after looking the instrument over. "I mean wouldn't it have been just as well to get a cheap one until you were sure about the artistic instincts?" "Not by a durned sight! A cheap kodak may do for a scrub person, but I want the best. So you still doubt the instincts? You hear me. Mrs. Bowser, when I tell you that there is more of the born artist in my little finger than there is in all your re1oHa?CJ frtl* f an cfan at?(l f Iatio Ka aI laiiv/uo L\j L icu ^ciiciaiiuuo Enough, however. I am now going out into the back yard to take a few flashlight pictures. You and the cook can hold one of your heart to heart talks and wonder if I'm not crazy." Mr. Bowser had taken the picture of t CJtt walking on the fence when the neighbors got on to him. The fathers and mothers stopped at curiosity, but the l>oys went further. They rained bottles and cans into the Bowser yard, and one missile struck the kodaker on the head and drove him inside the house. In the kitchen he tried to get the cook to pose for a "study" he was going to call "Industry," but she flew the coop at once. Cook Took No Chanoes. "It may be a kodak or it may be an infernal machine," she protested, "and I'm not going to take any chances. I had an aunt who posed in front of one of those things once, and all of a sudden there was a fizz-bang, and ail they found of her was one rib and a scream of terror." When Mr. Bowser passed through the house Mrs. Bowser asked where he was going. lie replied that he would take a little wander around the streets to catch some character studies. He did not have to go far to find them. On the corner two blocks down stood three old trauips waiting to strike some pedestrian for lodgings money. They represented one of the types he was after. Before he had reached them he had decided to label their pictures "AmViitinn " "Perseverance" and "Integri ty" respectively. "Boys," he began, "I'm an artist, and this is a kodak. Have you any objections to my taking a flashlight picture of the group?" "If you will come down $2 apiece all around," answered Ambition. "Nonsense! You ought to be proud to be taken for nothing." "Oh, we had, and the police wanting I us! It's $2 or nothing." "Then you'll get together, and if I can put the police on I'll do it." That was an unfortunate remark for Mr. Bowser. One of the three grabbed his hat, another gave him a cuff, and the third made a grab and just missed his nose as they ran away. Mr. Bowser looked around for a statue of Liberty to tear down; but, not finding any handy, he cooled off after a time and went his bareheaded way. He had thought to return home after another headpiece, hut ue suuuemy lemcur bered that great artists always went around the streets bareheaded and thus got a name for eccentricity. Three blocks farther along he came upon a short, squat woman carrying a bundle of kindlings on lier shoulder and talking to herself about the high price of diamonds. She was the type he want ed for "Hope On, Hope Ever," and he accosted her with: "Madam, can I speak with you a moment?" "Can yon speak with me?" she repeated as she stood and looked at him. "You can, sir, but let me tell you that if you utter one single word that an unborn babe oughtn't to hear I'll be the death of you. I'm a lone woman, sir. I'm a lone woman"? "Yes, yes, but all I want is to take a picture of you. I'm an artist, you know." "I know nothing of the kind. You may have come from the zoo for all I know. A picture of me! Never! No true lady will allow a man to take her picture and be showing it around in saloons. ?ir, you pass on." Rebuffed by a Woman. "But, ma'am, you misapprehend the situation. I am making some studies from life. I am taking pictures of cats, dogs, tramps and"? "And I'm to go along with cats and dogs and tramps, am I? Sir, you are a villain!

Take that, you old baldhead!" And she gave Mr. Bowser a tremendous kick on the knee and turned her back on him to pursue her way. lie arrived home in a limping condition, and when asked to explain he said that he had fallen over a barrel of sand on the sidewalk. His wife didn't press the matter, and the next morning he took his only proof down to a protographer to be developed. The proof came back by mail a day later. Mrs. Bowser opened the letter and looked at it and then saved it to hand to him when he came home. The proof showed a beer bottle sitting on the fence, with a cat's head where the cork ought to be. "Woman, what dees this mean?" demanded Mr. Bowser as he turned pale and his chin trembled. "It's the flashlight picture you took the other night." I "Never! Never in all this world!" j "But here is the letter from the de- | veloper saying that the thing is unique J and asking if the rest of the cat is in the bottle." Mr. Bowser walked to the closet where the kodak was kept on a shelf, and, reaching it down, he raised it aloft in both hands and dashed it to the floor with a blood curdling "Ha!" | and then turned to Mrs. Bowser and said: I "It is early in the evening yet. We ! can telephone to our respective lawyers to come over, and we can doubtless arrange about the divorce and ali mony so that you can leave for your mothers on the first train in the morn- ; ing.

The Confused Gentleman?It's norra bit o' use goin' on like that, Maria. You may drown me if you liksh, but I never hadda drop?nothin'.?Sketch. A Remittance. A southern lawyer tells of a judge in Arkansas who had several "tiffs" with a lawyer retained by a woman who had instituted a breach of promise suit in the court presided over by the judge in question. After each exchange of repartee between his honor and the imprudent counsel, the judge would say: "Clerk, just enter another fine of $10 against Mr. Mitchell for contempt of court." When this sort of thing had proceeded further than counsel wished, he addressed his honor in this wise: "If your honor please, I am a good citizen and as such intend to obey the orders of the honorable court in this as in all other instances. Now, your honor, it so happens that I have not about me the sum of $30, for which I have been mulcted for contempt. Therefore I shall be compelled to borrow such sum from some friend, and I see no one present whose friendship I have enjoyed so much as your honor's. So I I make no hesitation in approaching j your honor for a loan to square the fines assessed against me." With just the faintest smile about his lips, his honor looked first at counsel and then at the clerk. "Clerk." said he at last "remit Mr. Mitchell's fines. The state is better able than I to lose $30."?Harper's Weekly. That Hungry Feeling. "I put iny feelings into this picture," said the poor but proud artist.
