BOWSER GETS HIS Mrs. Bowser Obtains the Bulge In the Family Row. SHE DECLARES FOR A CHANGE (.Copyright, M' Ha Comei Horn. With Hit Uui Grouch, but Befort H. Ha a Show tha Mistress Tolls Him His Short comings Ho Walks and Wonders. By M. QUAD. 1910. by Associated Literary Press. RS. BOWSER was going to cntch It! Things had gone wrong with Mr. Bowser all day, He had got on a sock with a hole In the heel; his shirt collar had chafed his neck; he had found a table napkin in his pocket In place of a hammer- chief; his luncheon was poor; a man had called at the office and almost called him a liar. There were other things to ves and annoy him, and, of course, one and all could and should be laid at Mrs, Bowser's door. She wasn't the wife she should be or things couldn't go wrong. She was looking out of the window as he got off the car. One look was enough. That hunch to his shoulders and his shuffling feet told the story. She drew a long breath and walked Into the hall, and the moment his nose came Into view past the door she ex claimed: "What on earth's the matter with you? You are ten minutes late this evening. Next time you can go to a chophouse. I don't propose to have my dinner spoiled that you may Clliy dally along the road somewhere." Woman!" 'Never you mind about woman, but come along to your dinner. No wife can run a house as It ought to bo run with such a husband as. you are. I heard you kick the gate open as you came in." "Yes, by thunder, I did, and" "No more oaths around here, sir, for I won't stand for it!

All the neighbors call you the old gate kicker, and I have been hu miliated long enough." The Notification. Mr. Bowser sat down at the table. lie grew red and white. Things were not eolne lust as he had planned. lie opened his thouth to get in a hot shot. but was checked by: "1 have got to have a long talk with you after dinner. This house has got to be reorganized and run on a differ ent basis that 1s, you have got to be reorganized. I have to waste ten min utes every morning waking you up, I'm tired of it. Tomorrow morning you'll either roll out of bed at the first call or I'll throw cold water on you." "What! What! Throw cold water on me!" he shouted. "Just exactly, and I want to speak about your shouting the way you do. It's vulgar; It's loaferlsh. You yell like the boss over a lot of dagoes in a cellar excavation. Quit it!" "Madam. I'm Bowser!" "And I'm Mrs. Bowser. You talk about being Bowser as If It was some thing great. Who was Peter Bowser, your father? Who was Nancy BowBer, your mother? There have been Bow sers in jail, but I have never heard of one being Id congress." Mr. Bowser couldn't eat. lie choked up and flushed from red to white and back again. Was that Mrs. Bowser before him? Was this the twentieth century? "You filled up the furnace before you went away this morning," she contin ued, "and when you came up you left the gas burning full tilt. I did not dis cover It until an hour ago. That's an old trick of yours. That accounts for our outrageous gas bills. Next time you do such a thing you'll hear from me in a way you won't like." "Who who pays the gas bills?" he stammered. "Never mind that. Mr. Bowser. If you are through with dinner come up stairs. I've only just begun this talk, We will cither talk it out or see our respective lawyers about a divorce and alimony. Come, sir!" Other Regulations Declared. lie went. lie didn't Intend to. lie intended to sit there and pound on the table and shout, but be gave it up and followed her to the sitting room. She placed a chair for him, motioned for him to sli down and then walked to and fro with folded arms -as be had often done. Presently, as he was about to break out, she halted and said: "I want you to either quit smoking altogether or buy a cheaper brand of cigars. I want that money for gloves and hosiery." "I-I quit-smoking!" "I mean it, sir. You belong to about ten different clubs, and your dues and donations foot up $300 or $400 a year, Cut the clubs down to two. That money is to go to buy me hats. Send in your resignations tomorrow. "Never mind what you want to say, I am doing the sarins now. Yesterday tnere was"a man Here who saw you wanted to buy a new milk cow from blm. I gave him one look, and he made for the gate. Ilad you bought a cow without my knowledge and con sent I should have broken her back within fifteen minutes. No hens, no pigs, no cows!" "And you are talking to me, are you?" asked Mr. Bowser ns ho rubbed his eyes and looked again. "Right to you, sir. We are about out of coal again. Whose fault is it? Yours, sir. You come home to trot down cellar and shovel half a ton into the furnaco. no matter how warm it is, and then I have to open the win-, dows. Let the furnaco alone after this. And I want to speak to you about the cellar being whitewashed this spring. You will at once say you will do It yourself and save $1,000. You'll do nothing of the kind. 1 won't have you puttering around the house." "By the great horn spoon, Mrs. Bow ser!" lie exclaimed as ne sioou up. But she pointed her finger at him, and he slowly sank down again. "Cut the spoons out, sir! lou are not in a saloon, but in the house of Mrs. Bowser. If you wish to remain here be careful of your languoge." He groaned and looked around the room in a helpless way. Mrs. Bowser claiming the house! "It's about time you brought home another patent fire escape. There'll be row raised over the next one that comes into the house, and you might as well know it now. If this house takes fire in the night and you haven't energy enough to jump down into the front yard you can stay and get warm ed up. Perhaps a few blisters might do you good." Mrs. Bowser Holds the Floor. "I I I" "I have the floor, Mr. Bowser. In your sleep the other night you were talking about flying machines. If you are thinking of Investing in any such fad look out for me. There'll be fly ing, but it will be something besides tho machino that will spread its wings. And you were muttering something about going in search of Dr. Cook. You drop it. Dr. Cook knows where' ho is, and that's enough." "Have have 1 gone crazy or have you?" asked Mr. Bowser In very quiet tones. You are just on the verge of going to a lunatic asylum, but I hope to save you. You have delusions. You think you are the boss of this house. o think you can kick gates and doors open nnd slum around as you please. You think you can read me lessons on economy and then come home and blow about what a poor dinner I set before you. You think, like a bull, that the louder you roar the sooner you will scare somebody. You must cut It out or I'll have you sent to an asylum. You are really getting to be dangerous. Now put on your hat and coat and take a walk and try to get the cobwebs out of your brain." I-I think I will." he said, and be did. He walked down to the corner and then hack to the other corner and then entered the drug store. Ho soft ly approached the counter and whis pered to the druggist: "Say, say, who am I?" "Why, Thompson, of course," was the ready reply as the druggist caught on. Mr. Bowser looked at him a moment In a queer, puzzled way and then turn ed around and tiptoed out. He had come home to raise a row, and where was he now? 4d A ''Sium-..hOO.;1 lf Jf f"l buUng 'S'J f E3u the result of using y : W'wfjf g"d Hour, Hiu'h us ill Olympic n ' "Hp Flour." r , jl 'J?
