QUAD. 1910, by Associated Literary Press. j N hour before Mr. Bowser came An home from the office a farmer drove up to the house and handed a strange bundle to the cook, with the remark that It was for the boss. Mrs. Bowser was called down to see If a mistake bad not been made, and the farmer asked: "Bowser Is the name, ain't it?" "Yes." "Short man and baldheaded?" "Yes." "Understands all about agriculture and Is going to have the finest garden In town this year?" "He hasn't said anything about a garden to me." "Well, he's going to have one. He paid me for these things a week ago. He wants 'em on band as soon as pos sible. Here's the card he gave me, and I guess I've hit the bouse all right." "And these are things for the gar den?" queried Mrs. Bowser as she looked at the bundle. "Yes'm. sTbey are what he ordered. He'll have a regular little farm, and I hope his experiments will come out all right. He'll tell you about 'em." Mr. Bowser came home to ask about that bundle before he had got inside the door, and he smiled when told that it had arrived. "You hadn't said, anything to me about a garden," observed Mrs. Bow ser. . "I was just waiting, you know. You shall hear all about it after dinner. I GARDEN PACKAQB FOB MB. BOWSER. wanted to give you a surprise. I plan ned it way back In January. In a month or two from now you won't know our back yard." After dinner the cook was given a chance to do up ber work, and then the bundle was opened on tbe kitchen table. Mr. Bowser was excited and enthusiastic and declared that be could almost smell new mown bay and bear tbe whistle of tbe plowboy. The first things that came out of tbe bundle were three small stalks with a root to them, and as Mrs. Bowser was look ing at them he said: Hollyhocks From Cornstalks. "You see, we are to have hollyhocks In our garden. They are red and white ones and will remind us of the days of long ago. All last summer I ached to see hollyhocks." "And you will ache again this sum mer." "What do you mean?" "Mr. Bowser, don't you know the stalks of hollyhocks from cornstalks?" "What! WbatI You don't mean"- "I mean these are cornstalks. Even If they were hollyhocks they wouldn't grow if you set them out You've got to raise tbem from the seed. The fanner has swindled you." "He has done nothing of tbe kind. It's your Ignorance. I might have known you'd begin to find fault at once." "And what have we here?" she que ried as she took up another package. "Here is something labeled "Creeping Charlie' to border your, beds with. It creeps Just about as much as a board does. It's moss pulled off a tree in the woods." "I deny It! It's just what it U la beled." "Is it? We had rods and rods of creeping Charlie in mother's garden, and this isn't the stuff. I tell you it's only tree moss. Look at it yourself." "Woman, you go upstairs until I want you!" said Mr. Bowser as he grew pale. "A farmer brings me in certain things for my garden. He is an honest man. We scarcely open tho package when when" "When we find that he has swindled you," she finished. "Let's look a bit further. What's this? Morning glory seeds, It says. Mr. Bowser, did you ever see a morning glory?" "Millions and billions of them." "And the seeds?" "Bushels and bushels." Morning Glory From Apple 8sd. "Then you ought to know that these are apple seeds and nothing else. You honest farmer kas simply scraped the seeds out of a peck of apples." "Woman, upstairs aloft get out!" 'Tor why? You are going to make a garden, and naturally I am Interested. I want to see the rest of tbe stuff." "Not another blamed thing! You de termined to upset my plans from tbe very first, but it can't be done. That farmer can bring an action against you for libel, and by tbe Jumping Jupi ter I hope he'll do It!" "So do L And now we have what your toll hardened and honest farmer tails sunflower roots." "And you will say he has lied about them." "No; I think they are what he says You have seen sunflowers. Mr. Bow ser?" "Why don't you ask me if I have seen the moon?" "Does a sunflower grow again from a seed or a root? These roots are as dead as Julius Caesar. They die in the fall, same as the roots of a corn stalk." "Woman, woman" "Oh, yes, I'm a woman, but I know a bit about sunflowers Just the same. Why, they were all around us when we were courting. More are some roots and dead leaves. lie has labeled them 'Lilies of the Valley: " "And they are!" shouted Mr. Bow Ber. "Sorry for the valley If you are cor rect, but I say they are burdocks." "Bur-burdocks!" "Nothing less and nothing else. Mr. Bowser, if a burdock is a Illy of the valley then you ought to be a hnppy man. I believe they use the root In consumption cures." "Woman, look me in the eye!" said Mr. Bowsef in low, tense tones, with what hair there was on his head stand ing up. "I'm looking." The Florist Confirms Mrs. Bowser. "You have made certain assertions. If you can prove them, nil right; if you can't I'll have you behind tho bars be fore tbe week is out You have driven me to the dead line at last. Over on Jay street is a florist I go there. I take his word. Woman, shiver in your boots while I am gone." He grabbed up the parcel and went upstairs for his coat and bat She followed after with a confident smile on her face, but he ignored her. Five minutes later he burst Into the florist's shop in a way that almost took the door off its hinges, and, laying the package on the counter, he pulled out the stalks and asked: "What are they?" The florist looked without touching them and replied: "Any ox or cow would tell you that they are cornstalks." "And this?" "Moss from a beech tree." "It Isn't creeping Charlie?" "Not any more than It Is creeping palsy." "And these?" "Apple seeds." "And these?" "Old burdocks." Mr. Bowser took tbe package to the curb and beaved it Into the street, and then, returning to the door, he snld: "Sir, you are a golgothlc, magnificent, gigantic, overwhelming, slick, sleek, smooth by thunder of a liar! Good night, sir!" And then he disappeared into the shadows of night. J'slnlm Litncttan Fr whan pLtM or br!ds wort ont.rad. OoDnlMtioarnM.

It is told that after Prufcssor Ay toun had made proposals of marriage to Miss Emily Jane Wilson, daughter of Christopher North, be was, as a matter of course, referred to ber fa ther. As tbe professor was uncom monly diffident he said to her: "Emily, my dear, you must speak to him for me. I could not summon courage to speak to the professor on this subject." "Papa is in tbe library," said tbe lady. "Then you had better go to him," said the professor, "and I'll wait here." There being apparently no help for It, the lady proceeded to the library. "Papa's answer Is pinued to the back of my dress," said Miss Wilson as she re-entered the room. Turning ber around, tbe delighted suitor read these words: "With the author's compliments."

"What was the matter with that cus tomer," asked the proprietor of a swell restaurant "When he was through with his din ner," explained the waiter excitedly, "he asked for his check, and when I gave It to him he simply went crazy" "But did ho pay as he went?"
