J3ut He Encounters a Few Difficulties Incidental to the Construction of His Window Frames, and the Job Is a Failure. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.] WHEN Mr. Bowsei came down to breakfast the other morning with au old suit of clothes ou Mrs. Bowser jumped to the conclusion that he was going to take a day off. What for? Was he going to paint? Was he going to tinker at the doorbell? Was he going to put up a tire escape? Was he going to try experiments on the cockroaches? All these things were possible, and she was trying to guess which one it would be when he said: "Mrs. Bowser, ffy time has arrived." "Yes, there are plenty of them around, and we ought to have had in the screens some time ago." "You have seen the housefly ever since the first one bit your nose as a baby, but I doubt if you have ever posted yourself as to his habits and thp dnncrers he brings to the human race." "1 know he's a pest and a nuisance." "Mrs. Bowser." continued Mr. Bowser with, all the gravity of a professor before his class, "it is estimated that I I THE LUMBER ARRIVED. I "JUSI auuui, Liail euuui;u, LU,y ucai, and that leads to the mystery of my being here at this moment, instead of on my way to the office." Ho Sets Himself a Task. "You are going to?to"? "Going to make three full sized screens for the back windows in the kitchen. That's where more than a million flies entered the house last summer, and the wonder is that the whole Bowser family was not wiped off the earth. Those half screens are a fraud. I have bought the lumber to make screens that will be screens, and am expecting it here every minute." "Mr. Bowser," said Mrs. Bowser as they arose from the table, "you can't make a window screen. You are not carpenter enough. Two or three year3 ago you tried to make a screen door and how did you come out with it?" "Made the nicest, neatest screen door a house ever had." "You did nothing of the kind. After sweating and swearing over it all day one hundred billion trillion quadril- 1 lion flies are born in the world every ! summer." . ! "I don't doubt it." "During the months of June, July, August and September they cause the death of 804,705 human beings. They are ten times as destructive as war." "I see." Scientific Information. "The common housefly carries od his feet, between his teeth and under his wings the germs of typhoid, scarlet fever, yellow fever, the black death, spinal meningitis, smallpox, cholera and eleven other fatal diseases. Did you know that?" "1 never even suspected it." replied Mrs. Bowser. "Of course not. Instead of reading up 011 files you have spent your time in gadding about in search of bargains. The bites inflicted by one single fly may cause the deaths of father, mother and seven children. Any day this summer a fly may bite the king of England, the emperor of Germany or the president of the United States and upset a country." "But why hasn't it already happened?" "Because the flies weren't ready to bite. They haven't got around to those men yet" "But they haven't even bitten Morgan, Rockefeller or Carnegie." "For the same reason, my dear. The persons you name, with Senator Bailey and others added, will get their bites in time." "Wey, .what about all this?" was asked. ''The moral is: Kill off the flies." "But can it be done?" "No. The best we can do is to protect ourselves as far as possible. Keep the flies out of the house, out of the butter, the sugar and all other food." "Oh, but we've got screens for that very purpose." "T ' -1 J- t- -1 -o U ?? you produced a.wapple jawed thing . that wouldn't tit within a foot and ' then got mad and kicked it to pieces." "That will do, woman! 1 see your object. It is to get some lazy carpenter up here at $4 a day and make those screens cost me $10 apiece by the time they are finished. You can't work that scheme on me. Let me alone, and if I don't turn out two as pretty window screens as any carpenter in this town can make I'll chew my hat" Mrs. Bowser said no more. It would have been a waste of words. Mr. Bowser would have perished on the scaffold rather than give up bis plans. The lumber arrived. He had ordered stuff two inches wide by one in thickness, heavy enough for a bull pen.* "Von don't mean that von are going to"? began Mrs. Bowser when Mr. { Bowser waved her away with: I "Unn along now. I think I shall be able to boss this job." = Some Things Lacking. ^ A saw was needed, and he went to a hardware store and paid 75 cents for one. Then he had to buy a new screwdriver and screws. He must have wire for the frames when they were finished. but he'd make a second trip. lie would also need a can of black paint and a brush. The first thing was to get the length and width of the window frames, so as to saw his strips to a length. Mr. Bowser found that he had no carpen 1 ter's rule and that Mrs. Bowser had no tape line. "Let's see. Let's see." be mused as he squinted aroimd. "That window is about five feet eight in height by? by""You can't do it that way," said Mrs. Bowser as she came slying around. "That window is at least six feet high, and I guess two inches more." ?"by?by." continued Mr. Bowser? "by two feet ten." "By three feet two. yon mean." "Woman, will you oblige me by entering your domain and staying there f/> rtnmo /lilt onH fri7p until l t*l) ut'.inu iy \.uuii. vui. _ advice?" j "Yes. I will, but if you saw the stuff I to your measure you will waste it." Mr. Bowser went ahead and sawed. He could have measured with the first strip off and found whether it was too long or too short, but Mrs. Bowser had mixed in. you see. and she must be shown that she didn't know it a!!. Making the Frames. Presently there were four strips ready to be fastened together. The ends must be morticed. Mr Bowser had no chisel, but he had plenty of confidence in the family ax. lie sawed and he split, and Mrs. Bowser peeped out of a back window and grinned. Things were workins round to produce a situation. Instances have been known where the ' four corners of a window screen objected to coming together for the general good. Elere was such a case. The custom is to haul and pull and twist and batter them together. If sutficient strength is used any objection can be * overcome. By the use of nni's and screws and muscles and swear words Mr. Bowser got his frame together and stood it up against the fence. "Not long enough or wide enough!" called Mrs. Bowser from a window. "So you still persist?" he answered as he looked up. "Hold it up to the window and see ir I am not right." Mr. Bowser started oft* for the tacks and wire. lie would have tried the tit. only Mrs. Bowser had mixed in again, lie would run that job or perish. "Sure you haven't made any mistake?" queried the hardware man when the figures were given him. "I think my eyesight is good yet," was the reply. "Oh. then, you measured your frame with your eye, eh? Well, you shall have what you call for." Winding Up the JobWhen Mr. Bowser got home with the wire he proceeded to cut the length in two by his^eye and then to tack one length on. There were sis inches too much of it, but he calmly cut off the surplus. Then he was called in to lunch. When he was ready to tackle his job again Mrs. Bowser went into a neighbor's to see a sick child and was absent an hour. At the gate when she returned she found a policeman, who said: "I have to tell you, ma'am, that I've got your husband in the house and telephoned for your family doctor!" "Why, what's the matter with Mr. Bowser?" "I was going up the alley, ma'am, as he was trying to fit a screen to a window. It was too short and too narrow. It was squeegawed. It was flipflopped and flimflammed. It was a daisy for sure." Ml "les: "And your husband suddenly fell a-eussing and a-whooping and a-shouting. And he flung that screen down and jumped on it. And he grabbed up the ax and hammered it And?and then"? "Yes?" "And he went into a fit of some kind and fell down and rolled over and rolled up his eyes almost to his ears, and I've got a bet with the co^k that he cashes in before"? But Mrs. Bowser was inside the house. She always overlooked Mr. Bowser's crimes when the grim monster gets after him. * The Regular Patrons. 4* hnrfoovo o rn O ItVfl TS I 1UU Kl/u/.uaic C4IV I?%v v M J filled with men who can drink or 4X let it alone. ?
