In that keg was MRS, BOWSEB SAMPLES IT. the remedy for liver complaint, lum bago, rheumatism, flatulency, erup tions, heart trouble, homesickness, darting pains, dyspepsia, loss of mem ory and a dozen other ailments. Mr. Bowser would be benefited by the rery first dose. By the time the keg was empty be would have gone back to tbe age of thirty and would have the strength to tear down houses. Mr. Bowser bad hardly spoken of the keg when Mrs. Bowser bad a bright Idea couie to her. .When tbe expressman brought It in she bad it placed on the dining room table. It was tightly bunged, but the cook's fa ther was a carpenter, and she bad in herited some of bis mechanical skill. With a' chisel she managed to loosen the bung. . Then a glass of tbe liquid was pour ed out, and Mrs. Bowser sipped It.

"Madam," be said as be handed bnrk the glass, "If I could have a gal Inn of that 'ere stuff I'd be wlllln' to o to the Meet rle cheer as soon as 1 bad swallered tbe last drop." "You call it root beer, don't you?". "Not on your life! It's the apple brandy of the good old days when 1 bad the rhlrio In my pockets." "Sure, are you?" "Sure's taxes. There's something about apple brandy, lady, that touches the heart and never let's you forget It Roots? Why. all the roots from Maine to Californy couldn't give a thing that taste."

Then it was rolled tutu the hall and left. Both mistresx and maid were very solemn during thin performance. .Neither of them smiled once. The cook did start to suy that Mr. Bowser would he drawn buck from tbe gruve. but she checked ber self Just In time nnd went after n roast of beef for dinner. Anticipated Something Good.

"Good! A doctor was telllnir me to day that he thought I was getting nearsighted and that root beer wr. the thing to take." He hnd brought home a spigot for the keg. Although dluner waited, tbe spigot was Inserted nnd a glass or the elixir drawn and Imbibed. Mr, Bow ser held the empty glass In uls bund and smacked and looked doubtful. "Anything wrong?" was asked! u Mo-o-o. l can t say that there Is. but that beer doesn't seem to be up to last spring's keg. It has a weak washy taste." x - s -: ' ;-- : "Perhaps your taste Is ,a bit off. You know you were using creosote yesterday for an aching tooth." "That may be It. I don't. believe tbe express company would dare fool with the keg." Tried It Again. During the dinner hour Mr. Bowser seemed thoughtful. Once or twice be made a start to draw another glass from the keg. but gave It up. It was half an hour after the meal, and be bad read bis evening paper, when be slipped down to tbe dining room, and the listening Mrs. Bowser beard blm growling to himself: "Now, then, we'll see whether this Is dishwater or root beer." lie drew and put away a glass. It did not bring a smile. A second fol lowed. No effect Then be was beard to mumble: : "By thunder, but I must hare lost my sense of taste! I don't believe there is even a bit of burdock root In tbe whole keg." : . The keg was rolled around for five minutes, and then Mrs. Bowser came down to ask: ; "Has tbe root beer, had any benefi cial effect on you yet?" ' "I dunno. He may have sent tbe wrong keg." "But It's plainly marked. Perhaps that creosote kills the tnste." : Mr. Bowser drew and drunk another glass and stood and waited for the warm glow of former spring tonics to steal over him. No glow. No stenllnj: Two glasses Inst year hnd oet him to laughing. No laughing now. Ou the contrary, rears were ready to spring to bis eyes. Did Not Take Hold. "Funny fbnt it doesn't take bold of your heart trouble." whispered Mrs. Bowser. Mr. Bowser stood posed with the empty glass In hand.
