BOWSER and the eat |1/| were waiting for him on the I * i front steps as Mr. Bowser j reached home the other evening, and he paused a moment before entering the house to ask: "Doesn't the word 'Eureka' siguify j ! something or ether?" "Yes; it signifies 'I have found it,' replied Mrs. Bowser. j "Then you can take it that I have exclaimed 'Eureka." " "Do you mean that you have found gome new way to save half the gas?" "No, I don't. 1 don't. I don't care a hang about the gas. What I mean is that we have been looking for some place out in the country where we could put iu a couple of weeks this summer, but have thus far been dis- j appointed." "But I thought you had decided to stay home?" "So I had until I came across this newspaper advertisement this morning. I think I have tumbled on a good thing. Come in and read it." j Advantage of Crow's Nest. The advertisement read as follows: Persons seeking for a homelike place in the country* where they can pass a few weeks should write to the Crow's Nest. ! Pure air, large rooms, fine beds, spring I water, vegetables, eggs and milk; table J unsurpassed: no children or dogs. Only two minutes to the lake and five to the 1 postotfiee. No mosquitoes, flies nor ma- J laria. All outdoor amusements. Terms only $>! per week. Room for a few mar| ried couples. "Well, what do j*ou think of it?" j asked Mr. Bowser as the slip was re: turned. I "1 should say it was a fraud." "That's like you. of*tourse. You see a fraud and a swindle in everything. I j wouldn't have your suspicious nature BCsa"^ "ONLY TWO MINUTES TO THE LAKE AND FIVE TO THE POSTOFF1CE." for any money. What's wrong about the advertisement? Where is your authority for calling it a fraud?" "It promises too much for the monev." "1 don't see it that way. Here are a farmer and Ijis wife who are lonely for the society of good people, and. being so situated that they can make a dozen or more comfortable, they are willing to do it without robbing them. Any one could tell by the very name that it was a nice place to jro. I'd bet iliat farmer would break bis bitch to make his quests happy, How soon can you pack your trunksV" "Why. what for?

[ surroundings, and over and over again j he reposed in the shade of an apple tree or pulled about 0:1 the waters of i tiie gem of a lake. Even iu his sleep j he was playing croquet and hunting ; hens' nests, and as morning came his ! impatience was so great that he hardly ate a mouthful of breakfast. Mr. Bowser got away at an early hour, leaving instructions that the trunks should be packed during the day, and after a ride of two hours on the train he arrived at his destination. He was so good matured on the way that he passed over several things of an unpleasant nature, and the conductor finally came to regard him as a harmless old gentleman. Crow's Nest was half a mile from the station where he was dumped out. It loomed up before him as he got started. It loomed from a sense of duty. If it m hadn't loomed there would have been ~ nothing but a bobtailed cow and a j stack of marsh hay to make up the scenery. Mr. Bowser plodded ou until he reached the house. He* might have thought there was some mistake but for a man at the gate, who ansAvered his inquiry with: "Yes, this is Crow's Nest. Do you I want board?" I It was a two story farmhouse, uni finished and un pa in ted. The shade | was furnished by four or five old ' plum trees, and there wasn't enough i grass in sight to furnish a cow with ! ten good bites. The lake Avas behind the house, and it was part of a marsh. "Come in and see the rooms," suggested the mam who had a boil on his neck and a look of sorroAv 011 his face. | In a dazed AA*ay Mr. BoAvser followed | him. There were five or six untenanted rooms. Some were plastered and cranio wwp nnt All of them were ?- i airy, because most of tbe windows were broken. Tbe view from the I 1 front rooms took in the highway, an j , old barn and a held grown up to , i milkweeds. That from the rear was j composed of the marshy lake and an ] old horse standing on the shore and j seeming to be saying to himself, "To j drink or not to drink?" j "Come down and see my wife before j you decide on a room." said the man, i nnA \f?.

"And now I'll introduce you to the ; only boarder who has yet arrived," j continued the farmer, and he led the ; I way to a bench under one of the plum ! trees, where sat a sore eyed, seedy 051 looking man. lie rose up and shook j a< hands and said that he had gained ten pounds in the week he had been there i b and that after trying all the resorts fi in the country he had settled on Crow's w Nest. j Ends In Fight. : tl "What room will you take, and when tl may we expect you?" Mr. Bowser was 11 asked as he began to get red in the face. a "Say, now, this is a blamed fraud!" r( he managed to stammer at last. xv "What do you mean, sir?" a "T ino'in that :inv man who will ad vertise as you do and brlnjr people to ^ such a hole as (his ought to he booted all over the United States!"
