II. BOWSER had one of hia
good streaks on. lie came
home to pet the cat, who ran
down to the gate to meet
him, and to give Mrs. Bowser a smile
as be ascended the steps. He made
no kl k lit all during dinner, but, on
the contrary, had several words of
praise. When the meal had been fin
Is lied and they hnd ascended to the
sluing room he said:
Mrs. Bowser, you mot the doctor
on the street tue ottier aay, man t
you?"
Yes."
"lie told me so today. Tie said you
were looking fagged out. 1 think you
are myself. The bot weather Is pull
ing you down."
"Oh. I don't know," she replied. "I
haven't felt so very well for the last
week, tint there'll come a cool day
and 1 shall brace up. You are looking
hit fagged yourself."
"I feel so. We both of us need a
vacation. We ought to have two
weeks or a month off."
Yes."
And we are golug to have. We can
get away as well as not. From two
to four weeks In the country or on the
seashore would make us feel like new
beings."
"But you've looked every summer
for the last five years and haven't
found a place."
Expected Too Much.
"And I'll tell you why. I've expect
ed too much. I've been thinking It
over and I know that's the reason. I

bathing and grand scenery thrown in.
u other words, I've been cranky."
"But can you find a place this year?"
"I have already found one.- Fifteen
miles out a fanner has a furnished
bungalow to reut. It's within a few
steps of his house. We take the bun
galow and board In the house, and thus
we have no cares. We slmiilv swing
i our hammocks all day long."
"But about the scenery?" asked Mrs.
Bowser.
'The farmer says It's nothing extra,
nd as he is honest In this respect
believe be Is in others,. There will be
green mentions, a brook, a bill, a bit
forest and so on. I shall not look
for scenery, however. The sight of a
mountain 6.000 feet high Is uot going
to put fat on our ribs."
"Is the place on a railroad?"
"It's ten minutes walk from the depot."
Ana wueu are you going to see
about It?"
"Tomorrow. I shall go out there ou
tlie U o clock train, and within two
days we shall be established in that
bungalow. I have somehow got the
feeling that we have struck It at last."
Mrs. Bowser Is Doubtful.
The matter was talked over for an
other hour. Mrs. Bowser was doubt
ful, but didn't want to say anything
discouraging, while the more Mr. Bow
ser canvassed the mutter the more en
thusiastic he became. Ho woke her
up at midnight to say:
"We will take off our shoes and
stockings nud wudo In the babbling
brook."
"Yes, dear."
At 1 o'cliH-k he said:
"We will lay down and roll over In
the green meadows."
"Yes. dear."
At 2 o'clock he said:
"We will milk the cows and chase
the frolicking lambs."
"Yes, dear."
At 3 o'clock he sat up In bed and
said:
"And the bobolinks and mocking
birds will sing ns to sleep every nij,'ht."
"They surely will, dear, but you must
iro to sleep. You have to get up early."
"Yes. I will go to steep and dream of
the fresh eggs."
Pajiight bad hardly come when Mr.
Bowser was out of bed. He ate a
scratch breakfast and was at the depot
almost an hour before his traiu was
due.
"I get off at Spike's station," he told

"Summer boarder?' was queried with
a smile.
Tip From the Conductor.
"Tea. and this pure country air is
like a tonic to me. Do you know any
tiling about Spike Villa? It Is run by
Farmer Spike?"
"I know that people go there and
come away a-ala."
"Too rich for most of tbem prob
ably." "That may he It"
When Mr. Bowser got off at Spike's
station be found a shed, a cow and a
boy waiting for him. After some hesi
tation he asked the boy to direct hi in
to Spike Villa.
"Never heard of It," was the reply.
"Then you don't live around here?"
"Yes, 1 do. I'm a Spike."
"Farmer Spike's son?"
"Yes, air, and we didn't hare any
Tllla around when 1 left home an hour
ago. Come on if you want to go there.
A villa Is a bang up sort of a house.
Isn't It?"
"Yes."
"Well, we hain't got nothln' of the
sort Ma must have told pa to ring
that In on you city folks."
"But you have a bungalow near the
house?"
"That's ma again!" laughed the
youngster. "Pa's fixed up a shed, but
I didn't know they'd got another name
for It"
Not Much Furniture.
"But It's furnished, Isn't it?"
"Oh, yes. There's a bedstead and a
looking glass and two chairs. Ma says
that city folks don't want much furni
ture when they come to the country.
They see so much at home that they
get tired of It."
Mr. Bowser began to feel chills go
over him as he walked along, but he
decided to hope for the best and asked
the lad:
"You have fresh eggs, of course?"
"When we buy 'em," was answered.
"How about milk?"
"The milkman leaves It every day."
"But you have fresh vegetables?"
well, you see. pa ana ma are so
busy running the villa that we don't
make garden."
Mr. Bowser paused In the middle of
the road as If in doubt whether to go
on.
Might as well come on," said the
boy.
"But this was advertised to be only
ten minutes' walk."
"That was ma again. She said Wes
ton could do It iu ten, she guessed."
"Look here, young man," said Mr.
Bowser as he bristled up. "I believe
your old Spike villa Is a fraud!"
Boy Had Feelings.
"That's what they ull say."
"And your father Is a blamed old
liar!"
"I've heard 'em him so."
"And your mother's In on the game."
"Say, mister, she's the slickest talk
er you ever met. She can get the
boarders to use sour milk and 'lasses
In their tea and coffee."
"But but what of you? If you are
son of the Spikes' why do you tell
me all this?"
Oh, I was born with feelings, you
see, and the more boarders that show
up the less there is for me to eat If
you think I've been lying about things
come on. I'll bet you give dad a swat

jook out for ma, though. She's a
great hand to claw and bite."
Mr. Bowser returned borne. Mrs.
Bowser saw him while yet a block off,
nd she was prepnred to hear him say
that she had driven him to the dead
line and Hint their lawyers would set
tle tilings on the morrow, but to her
amazement he simply said:
"Sold again! I wonder if It wouldn't
be like a vacation to have the mother-in-law
come down for two months!"

Cat Is the first syllable In catalogue

The cat Is useful for many purposes.
For one thing. It affords an Ideal spot

Cats usually grow under one's win

The cat has idne lives, each of which

Nothing Like it Ever
Seen in Hood River
Before
Dr. Madison and staff of the
Medical Institute of Liverpool,
England, and Crawfordsville,
Indiana, lectured to a large aud
ience last Tuesday evening. The
doctors are agreeable and force
ful speakers, and held the audi
ence in close attention while
they explained the theory and
usefulness of their wonderful
discoveries.
Many promises were made
which seemed utterly impossible
to believe and when the doctor
invited those who were hard of
hearing to come forward and be
cured. L. D. Boyed, Eugene Bush
and N. J. Seline responded to
the call and were made to hear a
whisper in a few seconds.
The doctor then called for
cripples on crutches and V. A.
Whitcomb responded.
He was afflicted with the giant
disease, rheumatic paralysis and
he was unable to walk except
with crutches and great diffi
culty and pain. He was oper
atad on with medicine for twen
ty minutes and walked off the
stage free from pain and stiff
ness followed by the wondering
crowd, while he broke his
crutches. To say the audience
was astonished and wild would
be putting it mildly. The doc
tor was warmly congratulated.
It seemed like a dream, but it
was real. Ministers and doctors
were in the audience and they
seemed as well pleased as any
one.
They treat the following dis
eases: Jt'aralysis. catarrh, deaf
ness, big neck, bladder and kid
ney diseases, rheumatism, scro
fula, female diseases, bowel
complaint, debility, dropsy, heart,
iver and nerve diseases, cancers,
piles and fistula cured without
pain and all kinds of chronic
diseases cured.
