"And as for pigs, .Mr. Bow
ser, I hope you won't think of
'em. The neighbors haven't
yet got over your last adventure
in the pig line."
"ATy adventure!" lie shouted.
"You teased me to buy a pig
and build a pen. I wanted to
gratify you, pumpkin-head that
I was, ar.d I bought a pig.
What did 1 have to do with his
sqeaking the whole twenty-four
hours? What did I have to do
with his getting out of the pen
a dozen times per day?"
"Oh, well, let's not have any
more cows or pigs or liens or
dogs. We don't seem to tin
derstond them."
"Don't we? We don't if we
don't want to! Some wives are
domestic aud like to make a
home of a home, but others
think of nothing but dressing
and gadding the streets."
"If a husband buys a cow
which gives two quarts of milk
daily, and her feed alone comes
to live times the price of her
milk, I don't seo where the
economy comes in."
lie didn't reply to that, and
;he next morning when I open
ed the back door door the same
three boys were wating for Mr.
Bowser. They had a William
goat with them. The animal
was securely tied witli ropes, and
the small boys kept a vigilant
eye on him besides. That's
what Mr. Bowser was up to,
and as I knew he had set his
heart on it I said never a word.
He sneaked out to the barn,
came to terms with the boys,
and the goat was turned into
the back yard. When he had
finished breatfast Mr. Bowser
placidly inquiied:
"Mrs Bowser, do you know
that that there money in goats?"
"How?"
"They are not only valuable
for tlieii' wool and incut, hut in
a sanitary point of view they
cannot be equaled. One goat
would keep our back yard en
tirely free from everything of
fensive." "Would he?"

"!Not only tliatybut he would fdenly struck him that he had

child's appetitf."

confound the goat 'with the
chamois, Mr. Bowser. There's
a marked difference between
them. The chamois is found in
India, Asia, Switzerland and
several other countries. The
goat is indigenous to eve.iv
country. The chamois a very
timid animal; the goat is not.
It rather seeks the society of
man."
"I wish I knew as you do,"
I said to desiring to mollify
him still further.
"Yes, but you never will.
You can't expect to. You were
not born that way. However,
I have a surprise for you and
the child. 1 have just made
a purchase of a goat."
"A real goat?"
"Certainly- Some folks deal
in the immitation. I never do.
Come out in the back yard."
We went out. William had
just finished the last of the
kitchen towels the mrl had on
the grass, and he acted like a
goat who wanted something
more solid to finish up on. Mr
Bowser took baby in his arms
and started down the steps, and
William lowered his head and
struck out with his foot.
"He may be dangerous Mr.
Bowser."
"Dangerous. So is a canary
bird. You will see him take
to the child like a ily to sugar.
See how stately he stands! I'll
have a photographer up here
this afternooh."
He was advancing as he talk
ed, and he was not yet half way
across the yard when I saw a
streak of goat shooting across
the grass
. A dull thud follow-
ed, and baby Hew
clothes line and Mr.
over ,the
J3ow6er
went to grass. How I got that
child into the house I can't re
member, tut I guess the goat
was too busy with .Mr. Bowser
to notice me. They rolled over
and over. They rose up and
went down again. Some times
Mr. Bowser was on his hands
and knees and again he was
doubled up on the grass. I
screamed for the cook, and with
great presence of mind she seiz
ed a couple of fresh sheets off
the clothes-bars and ran out
with them as an offering. Ths
goat preferred sheets to Bowser
and as he turned away and be
gan to devour them my hus
band crawled up the steps to a
place of safety. He had been
hit in what they call the bread
basket and in the small of the
back and between the shoulders
and, indeed, the goat had no
opening.
"Mr. Bowser," I said as I
brought the camphor, "do not
confound the goat with the
chamois. The chamois is a
very
timid animal, while the
goat is not."
He looked
stony gaze.
up at me with a
"lie is not only a beautiful
playmate for our child, but the
doctors say that the musky odor
stimulates an appetite. Are
you not hungry Mr.. Bowser?
There was a whole load of
stone in his gaze this time.
They are not only valuable
for their wool and meat,1 I
went on, "but ii: a sanitary
point of view they cannot be
equaled.'
He uttered a groan and crept
into the house aud tumbled on
the lounge. It took me an
hour to get the grass and sand
out of baby's hair and ears, and
I had just finished, when Mr.
Bowser rolled off the lounge
and ran down stairs for a snow
shovel and a minute later he ap
peared in the back yard and
made a rush for the goat. Wil

They kept up an exchange of
retching for some time, when the
original heaver, suspecting that
the old fellow was not a gen uine
heaver, turned to him and said:
"What do you mean by mock
ing me, sir
9
I'm not mockin' vou."
"But you don't iook like you

"I ain't sick."
"Then why do you heave?"
"Wanted to help vou."
"What?"
"I say I wanted to help you."
"Help me!" the man indig

"That's what I said."
"How in the deuce can you

derive from your heaving?"'
"Wall, none, accordin' ter the

Thar ain't no lime in a man s
life when he needs so much sym

The original heaver turned
about and heaved. His sympa

tence in two and "echoed the sen

original.
"Ah-hah-hah!" echoed the sym
pathizer. "I want you to go on away

original.
"No, I cannot; I must stay
and sympathize with you."
"But I don't want vour sympa

"I wont."
"You shall 1"
"Bar-r-r-rl" retched the origi

thizer. "I want you to go away now
and leave me alone."
"Xo sir; I will not leave you
alone in your misery. Two weeks
ago ter-day I hii' on ter a rail
fence in Indiana, and, reachin'
away down inter myself, called
hogs fur more than half an hour.
I had been, full fur some time an'
was jest gettin' over it. A man
come ridin' along. He didn't
say a word, didn't even give me
a kind look. How I did long for
! sympathy how I did yearn for
some man ter put his hands on
that fence an' call hogs with me!
but no man came. After er
while er dog came along, cat
! some grass, went up ter the fence
! and bojiun ter reach down inter
hisself. How my affections did
go out ter that brute! He may
not o' knowed it, but he was doin'
me a powerful service, an' I said
right then an' thar that cf I ever
cotched a man in fix I was in at
that time I would help him. I
was rusliin' down for the depot

I jist erbout had time ter make

"Ail right."
They shook hands, and then
the genuine heaver said:
"Xo v, let's go. somewhere and
get a drink."
"No, I'm obleeged ter you. A
short time ago I was a sick and
self-despism' drunkard, hut I am
a man now. I drunk tnough Tick

T'uthcr day I hearn my little

the boy asked. 'I don't know,
said my dear little g rl, 'but I
think it must be a place where
little children's fathers don't get
