Lewis.] WHEN Mr. Bowser came home to dinner, he found Mrs. Bowser putting things on the table and making ready for him, and after a look into the kitchen he asked: "Has the cook broken her leg or com* mltted suicide or anything?" "I thought it best to part with her today," replied Mrs. Bowser. "She went at noon, but 1 have dinner all ready." "In other words, you discharged her?" "Yes; I told her to go." "Probably bounced her right out ! without u moment's warning for some I trifling error of judgment on her part. Mrs. Bowser, I wouldn't have your | conscience for $10,000 in cash. You can't expect to go on this way much longer without being overtaken by 1 Justice. By your summary action of today you have probably broken a young woman's heart and driven her | to desperation, but I don't observe ono line of regret in your face. So far as I know she was one of the best girls we ever had. Why did you drive her forth [ like a dog?" "There was no driving forth about | It," wild Mrs. Bowser as she got seated at the table. "The girl had a bottle of whisky and was tipsy, and when 1 said she must sober up or go she packed up her things and went. She said she was glad to leave old Bowser's house." "What! What! Mrs. Bowser, don't make things worse by prevnrlcatingl" "I'm telling you the truth. Sho called you old Bowser and a hen hussy, and she said"? "Thnt will do," shouted Mr. Bowser as he struck the butt of his knife on the table to emphasize his words. "You are making fnlse statements to gloss fjjlg "THERE IS SUCH A THING AS PERA' over your heinous offense, but it can't be glossed. Never In this world did that girl refer to me as old Bowser. Never on this earth did she call me a hen hussy. I shall demand a further talk with you after dinner." Mrs. Bowser let It go at that, and I there was a paluful silence daring the I rest of the meal. When It was finished and they had adjourned to the sitting room, Mr. Bowser said: "I will remain home tomorrow. I will advertise for a cook In the morning paper, and I will be here to engage one of the callers. This Is the seventh cook you have sent away inside of four months, and there must be something wrong somewhere." "It's the third one In a year," corrected Mrs. Bowser. "Seven,woman?seven In four months, and we do not know bow many of tho seven poisoned or drowned themselves in their despair. It la a record to make one shiver." "rerbaps you had better boss the girls after this, If yon think me Incapable." "That Is exrrUy what I shall do, or I shall at least engage them and have a talk. 1 will have an advertisement In the morning papers, and I will be here when they come, and"? "I aent down an ad. thla nnnn " In. terrupted Mrs. Bowser, "and that's probably a girl ringing the bell now. (jo right down and have a friendly talk wltb ber and find out what hour In the day she wants to devote to piano practice!" Mr. Bowser flushed red and white and glared In a way to give the cat china, but the basement bell rang again, and he went down and opened the door to a young woman of twentyOre wltb a turned up nose and an Iron Jjnw. "la the missis to home?" she asked aa she was blandly Invited to enter. "fcly wife Is here," replied Mr. Bowaery ''but as she Is not capable of managing the help 1 have taken the matter out of her hands." "Is sbe slckr'vA * "Oh. no, no. She is simply lacking in feeling toward her help. She goes about with an icy look on her face and Is always ready to crush a girl at the slightest escuse.

If you come sticking your nose In the kitchen. I'd pack up in two minutes. If your wife can't manage a girl, you'd better sell out and go boarding." The girl went outdoors before Mr. Bowser could think of anything further to say, and ho was feeling mud to think he had taken her "sass" when the bell rang again, and he admitted a second one. She looked more humble than the first, and he thought he an w a faraway look in her eyes and signs that the world had been cold and cruel. "Is it a cook ye want?" she asked as she was bowed into a chair. "Yes, we want a cook," he replied. "That is, she will be asked to do the cooking, though treated as a member of the familj\ I have taken this matter in hand myself, and I can assure you"? "Where's your wife?" interrupted the girl. "She's in the house, but I shall man. age things." "Do you mean that you will give orders?" "Yes: but I shall give them Id such a way that your naturally proud spirit will not be crushed. They will be requests instead of orders, nnd if you are In trouble any time you can come to me us if I were your own father. iiuw nuuii cud you coiner' "In about a hundred years!" replied the girl ns she rose up and sailed out. Mr. Bowser had had two throws at It and missed it both times, and as be suspected that Mrs. Bowser was listening at the hend of the stairs he swore softly but vigorously and looked around for something to kick. The j third caller was a girl of eighteen, and DRIVING A HUSBAND TO DESriON." she bad bardly got seated before she rose up again and said: "I don't tbink tbls place would suit me at all." "But wliat is the matter?" asked Mr. Bowser. "If you have been working for a family who bad no care for your feeliug ? n woman wbo ground you Into tbc dust Just to sbow bcr authority"? "It's not that, sir, at all. It's because my mother won't let me work where there's a bnldliended man." "What! What!" "No, sir, she won't, and I'll be going. They ure bad, sir?very bad, and?and ?good night, sir." "The durned little fool!" gasped Mr. Bowser us the door closed, but he hadn't time to get real mad. The fourth caller was at hand, and she gave the I bell a yauk that threatened damages to the house unless the door flew open at once. "I've called to take the place," she said as she was admitted. "Then 1 bid you welcome. It may seem queer to you that I am hiring a girl myself; but, you see, my wife"? "Is your name Bowser?" asked the girl. "It Is, my dear." "Don't go wasting any dears on me. If vou ore Bowser that settles It. snd | 1 wouldn't work In your bouse for $50 | a month!" "What do you mean?" slowly asked Mr. Bowser as his ears began to work and the purple to dye his nose. "1 mean thut I've beard of you as an old hen hussy around the kitchen, and I wouldn't think of coming here and being bothered with you. Besides, you look like a man who'd make googoo eyes at his cook!" It was Ave minutes before Mr. Bowser's trembling knees permitted blm to walk upstairs, and then he stood bofore Mrs. Bowser and wared bis arms n'nd shouted: "Woman, beware! There Is snch a thing as driving a husband to desperation, and If I'm driven another Inch I will not be responsible for the bloodshed that will follow!" The bell rang again and again, bnt only echo answered, whllo the cat crawled under the lonnge and chuckled to herself that Mr. Bowser wasn't any abend of the game. M.

While Blchnt, tho famous surgeon, was dying of typhoid fever ho turned to an old colleague who was sitting beside his bed and sold to him: "My friend, I am lost, but It is some consolation to know tbat ray case Is very curious. During the last few days I have noticed some odd symptoms, and I am studying them carefully." "Oh, yon may recover yet," said the friend. "That Is impossible," replied Bicliat, "and If It were not for one thing I Would be quite willing to die." "What is that?" asked the friend. "I am exceedingly sorry," answered Bicliat, "that I shall not have an opportunity to perform an autopsy on myself after my death, for-I know that 1 would make some wonderful scientific discovery." An hour later he was dead. A Weak Stomach Indigestion is often caused by over ating. An sminent authority says the harm done thu9 exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Bat all the good food you want butdon'toverload the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need a good dlgestant like Kodol, which digests your food without the stomach's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary. Kodol quickly relieves the feeling of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals. Absolutely cures indigestion. KtM Nature's Toalo. k ' [. 11 AIR,fOffice Bank Building Union. 83.

Oeiclnnlnnr of the Trouble WUteh Haa Developed Into Wnr-Tlie Votoa Ialntid Dlnpute and Itr arl ?tlon to Present Affair*. While most people have In a goncnH way been aware that Venezuela Was In a serious muddle, very few knew why Kngland and Germany had sent powerful fleets against and begun war upon the South American r. public. The alleged reason by these two Iluropean powers is the collection of debts and indemnities. The kaiser's prine'pal claim is that of the German railroad, built at a cost of $10,000,000, upon which Vene/.uefa guaranteed 7 per cent interest, a llgure reduced in 1RX> to o per cent. This 4u torcflt Venezuela lias defaulted f.;r several years. Great Britain's ostensible claim covers a number of items growing out of tlio Venezuelan government's appropriation of British railroads. Another reason for England's activity against Venezuela is her desire to settle the HERBERT W. BOWEN, ownership of Patos Island, on which England recently raised her flag and which has been in dispute many^yeurs. The Pates island question was reopened last year by the action of the Venezuela gunboat Augusto in capturing certain British subjects on the Island. England protested, when Venezuela replied by reiterating her long standing claims to the Island. Venezuela bases her claim to the Island on its proximity to the coast of Guirin, from which it is distant only three miles; that the International Law institute has dolined the territorial sea as six miles, whereas the island of Patos is mere than ten miles from 'iVlnldad, the nearest British* possession; further, that the treaty of March, 1815, "explicitly conflrius the title of Venezuela over all the islands nenr her coast which were under the dominion of ' Spain in the Initiative period of Vencmiela n Independence." Great Britain has advanced the contention that when she conquered the island of Trinidad in 1797 sovereignty over Patos also was obtained and so recognized by the Madrid government and that Patos has remained in the peaceful possession of Great Britain for more than a century, during seventy years of which time Venezuela advanced no counterclaim. isia de I'ntos, or Duck island, lice to the westward of the British island of SCENES ON ISLAND OF PATOH. Triuidad, in the mouth of the Dragon, is the channel which separates It from the latter island Is called, it was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1408. when he wns on his third voyage to America. While the Inland itself Is comparatively insignificant, heinc hut n mllo n*> so in extent and having no Important settlement on it, still it occupies a strategic position with relation to the Dnrlbbcnn entrance of the great gulf of Parla and Trinidad's Important hnrbor. Port of Spain. A fort und guns established on Pntos could command the channel most effectively. (Jrout Britain Is of course fully <1 livo to the Importance of holding such an outpost, whtetl Is undoubtedly of more value to her than to Venezuela. So It would appear that the latter country will have some trouble In maintaining Its clulm against Its formidable rival. Small and apparently insignificant as tt Is, it may yet Iks the source of raa<*i <? wrangling nnd even bloodshed. Meanwhile Herbert W. Bowen, our minister / to Venezuela, has his hands full looking alter the interests of Uncle Ban.
