5. "Have yon found some old records?1
"I have found that there are tw<
other Bowser families In town, an<
I'm hopeful that they will have tin
records I want. I sliull be delighted 1
they have."
"I don't exactly see why you shouh
care" about any Bowser 200 years old,'
said Mrs. Bowser.
? "But I do care a great deal. It makei
quite a difference whether your auces
* tors wore ditch diggers or kings, or n
least It does to me. As for you, o
course you don't care a pin. You weri
a Tompkins, and I don't think any o
the Tompkins family, from No. ldown
ever amounted to anything great."
"But the Bowsers have?"
"Well, the fnmlly tree, as far as com
pleted, shows princes, dukes, barons
governors and statesmen among them.1
- "Then the family must be on the de
? cline,"
"Woman, what do you , mean b;
that?" shouted Mr. Bowser as his hal
began to crackle. "Do you mean to In

"THE WHOLE FOUR
sinuate that I am an unworthy d?

"Not at all," she quietly replied, "onl;

- I'd let It all go."
"I shall do nothing of the kind,
i may not be n prince or a duke, bu
that I bear the name of Bowser 1
enough. As this matter is of no earth
, ly interest to you and as old Tompkin

> need not sit up for me."
> The cat attempted to follow him out
I but he thrust her back and wnlke
> swiftly away. There was a Bowse
\ living six blocks away. It was in a teu

| of stairs to climb. Mr. Bowser foum
> the other Bowser with a pipe in hi
| mouth and his feet os the stove, am
? one of his five children had just gon
| out with the growler. The subject o
> genealogy was introduced at once, am
| the new Bowser took his feet off th
! stove and stood up to say:
l "So you are bunting up the old Bow
- sers, eh?"
"I am."
"Well, I'll give you two minutes t
k. get down stairs. My grandfather wa
hung for murder, my father was sho
for a sheep thief, and my brother ba<
a vacation In Sing Sing, but I don'
? propose to have anybody come her
and rake up my feelings over it Yoi
put It down that there was never i
Bowser yet who was 4ny too good an<
lot It go at that."
t Mr. Bowser got out There was an
other to call on, but he was out H<
lived over a saloon, and Mr. Bowse
had a little talk with the saloon keepei
4 and then returned home. Mrs. Bowse
r. was reading and the cat asleep, and h<
Wag not questioned as he got out hii
ft family tree to Ipok It over. Not flv
q minutes had passed, however, whei
the bell rang and the door was opene<
to a man who gave the name of Bow
' ssr aad sddedi I
: s.'
' "Tha saloon keeper said you was
looking for me. Is it a job you have
for * poor man oi# of work?"
"I waft seeking to trace the Bowsor
family back," replied Mr. Bowser.
"Then maybe I can help you, sir, as
, I have lots of papers."
t "What I want to find out first is who
, came between Moses and Blljfth?"
"Then I'm your man, sir. I'm the
one as comes between Moses and Elijah,
and If there's a dollar coming to
r me I'll take it now."
I "But you can't bo the man. Moses
- Bowser died over 200 years ago, and
Elijah followed 1dm within thirty
r years."
"Makes no difference, sir. Mv name
r is Sam Bowser, and I know I come
i between 'em. You can take my word
? for it and give mo tlio dollar. I don't
i suppose you expect a gentleman to
s throw bis time away entirely?"
Mrs. Bowser was merciful enough to
withdraw and go up stairs and the cat
to seek the dark spot under the piano,
and while Mr. Bowser was hotly arguing
with Sam Bowser the bell rang
and two other Bowsers called, Joe and
Jim.
"Hearing that you was looking up
tho Bowser family, sir"? began Joe.
"And beiug I'm a Bowser myself,
sir"? added Jim.
"We thought we'd call and see what
It was all about," continued both together.
"Don't trust 'em. sir!" whispered Sam
Bowser. "Can't you see that while we
looks alike they look altogether different?"
"Gentlemen, did any of you ever
hear of Aaron or Nicodemus Bowser?"
asked Mr. Bowser.
"We have, sir," replied the three in
chorus.
"What Bowser lived between them?"
1 "I did, sir," chorused the trio.
1 Tho cat came out of hiding and tooh
t a look at the four Bowsers and skulk
ed back, and after a strained silence
'' Mr. Bowser was about to move an ad0
journment when the bell rang again
1 and another Bowser appeared.
a "My name, sir," he explained, "ie
f Leviticus Bowser, and I understand
that you are hunting up the Bowsei
1 family tree."
' "But you ain't in it!" shouted Joe,
Jim and Sam.
s "But I nm, and you loafers are simi
ply after money!"
t "You're a liar!"
f "Stop!" shouted Mr. Bowser. "Now,
b then, Leviticus, where do j'ou come

"I come in everywhere, sir, and don'i

"Hit him!"

I STftO-:,3 PULSE BEATS.
Cmry In " i l<'h They Are Perceptible
to the Eye.
"It Is not pueh an uncommon thing,"
i said n physh-lan, "to find a pernor
whose pulse heats can be plainly seen,
i and yet I suppose there are but few
outside of the profession who realist
( the fact. In most persons the ben I
of the pulse cannot he perceived, bul
i the'mere fact that the beating Is per
ceptible does not mean that the pulse
i Is other than normal. I have coinc
[ across a number of cases where the
? throbbing cf the wrist could he plainly
seen, and yet the persons rarely gave
i evidence 'of abnormality in tempera
i ture. They were rarely feverish anil
were in g??>-.l physical cond'sion gen
; erally. Pulses of 1'iis !;!:? ! from thi.?
i view, which is bused upon aetunl ob
. servntions of rases, do not indicate
i anything more than an aim rmal pliys
ical condition in the formation of the
wrist veins.
"I have met with one case which
was possibly a little extraordinary ir
I that it was plainer and much more dis
tlnct than any I had ever seen before,
, It could almost be heard. The artery
would rise to a point almost as large
as the ball of the little finger of a
child and would change from the white
of the skin to a blood purple with each
bent of the pulse. I found it easy te
count the pulse bents without touching
the patient's wrist. 1 could see plainly
( enough to keep the record, and in ordei
not to err in my calculation I tested il
in several ways and found it was cor
rect and that there was no mistake ir
1 my counting with the naked eye."?

Origin of (lie R:\ttIfNitftkc* Flair.
One of the most common devices
used on the American tlags during the
: early part of the Revolutionary struggle
was an embroidered rattlesnake
, above or below tlie legend "Don't treat
on me!"
i The origin of this design has beer
traced to a remark made by Bon
i Franklin. At the time the (lag was
[ adopted, or Immediately before, Eng
land was slopping her criminals tc
America and turning them loose on
the defenseless colonists. After several
murders had been committed by
. these unwelcome immigrants Ben
Franklin (some say in a joking spiritl
suggested that the colonists retaliate
, by sending a cargo of rattlesnakes tc
. the mother country and turning their
out in the gardens of the nobles.
