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.

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."
