Bowser Most Popular Man Voted as Such by Mcmliers of the OU Jays Club at Last Meeting. WOULD MAKE A SPEECH He U Rolled on a Barrel His Head Is Sandpapered, and He Returns Sadder, but Wiri. tCopyrlsht,lfti5.ly MeClure. Thllllps Co. ivr DOWSER had conic home from the office half nn hour ahead of time, and when Mrs. Bowser asked for nn explana tion lie rcpllcil : "I aui gains out tills evening. 41ml there are two or tbrce little things I want to see to first" "Is It to a club?" "Yes. There's going to be a big turn cut nt the Old Jays club this evening, and a rote will be taken to see who 13 the most popular member." "But the last time you went to the Old Jays you came home mad. You aid they snubbed you." "Snubbed me: Not on your life! You must have got me and some one "WHO WOUXD ATTEMPT TO WOBK AVT GA11E ON Mif" BE 6 AID. else mixed up. Why, tbev sent me spe cial notice of the meeting tonight and said I must be sure to be there." "I was In hopes we might go to the theater." "We can go tt the theater any night, but there won't be another such meet ing of the Old Jays for a year." "Well, I hope you won't let them work any game on you," she said, as the saw that his mind was made up. "Game? Work any game on mel" be replied as he drew himself up to bis full height and stood with folded arms. "Who would attempt to work any game on nie? Who has ever at tempted it? Explain your words, if you please." "They may try to make you believe that you are a great man and that that" "And what?" "And coax you to sing a song and then then" "And what?" "Or get you up to make a speech and then then" "Woman, beware! You are close to the dead line! Iou't let me hear any more such talk. To hear your words a stranger would think I was a born fool and that you were my guardian." . "Then we won't talk about it any -more. I'll help you gt t ready, and do you gj along and Lave u good time." . Mr. liuwser stood and glared at her for a minute and then marched off up-etaii-s to change his clothe. There was something e!:e lie wanted to say, but lie hung off about it until his good na ture was partly restored and he had Come down jigiin; then he tried to look Indifferent as he said: "I have got a hint or two that my friends are going to put me forward tonight, and it may be Just possible that I will be voted the most popular member." "That will be Lice," repueu Mrs. "Bowser as she retied his necktie. "You'd let 'em vote If they wanted to, wouldn't you?" t "'Why, certainly." ' "And if I am declared elected and 'they call for a speech" "Then make one, of course. Just get tip and say that you feel honored; wouldn't trade positions with the pres ident of the United States; glad you 'are one of the Old Jays, and bo on and bo forth. Don't attempt too much. :Now you are all ready." ' "I may Dot be home before mid night." . "Never mind If you are not home be fore daylight. As you say, this thing ccurs only once a year, and you can kfford to dissipate a little. Sure you fcavo got your latchkey? Well, run Elong now." 6 Mrs Bowser's sudden change of front a a puizle to Mr. wwwr, uui at It was one of those cases wue ra -Just like a woman" and arrived at i,a tnh wltb a feeling of antlclpatloa. 1 LWbat occurred there was told two urs later by himself In bis own home. Ut 10 o'clock, as Mrs. Bowser inir and the cat was doing the purring act on tho hearth, there came an uncer- lain noise at the front door, a noise a Df some one pawing over It. When tt Sn:l continued for a couple of minutes he went down the hall and swung the .leer wide open. With the aid of her ex tended hand Mr. Bowser entered. In i ite of the fact Hint he was barehead ed and nil mussed up. that his coat j pockets were full of hay, that n porous plaster Innl necti muck on tue eacn or nis overcoat and his patent leather tioc painted over with white paint It ras Mr. Bowser. "1 'onie In and tell tue all nlwut It." wild Mrs. Bowser as she hung up his roat and led him along to the sitting room. I lie looked nt her In nn owlish sort of 1 way for n lulnuie. mid then the tears stario.l In his eyes. When he could con trol his emotion be said: "Well. I got then. Everybody glad to see mo. Everybody said I was a good fei:er. Everybody slapped me on the back and said. Hello. Bowser." " "And of course you had n drink or two." 'Yes." -And then the voting took place?" Yes." "And wheu the votes were counted up it was found that you had leon de clared the inot popular member?" "Yes. But how did you hear of It?" "Oil. I knew about how It would go," lej 1 ed Mrs. Bowser, with a laugh. Well, you were elected.' What hap lenod then:" ' "All the Old Jays took a drink at my i xpense. Then the president of the club j congratulated me, and we had auother drink. Then they called ou me for a f .-.j-coch." "And you remembered what I told you. I hope?" "No. 1 illuu't. I couldn't remember uothing. 1 made a speech about Chris topher Columbus crossing 'er Delaware, j :i:id you Jus' oir.'ht to have heard them j Oil Jays clap and yell. Mrs. Bowser, i :hat speech was n corker. Best speech 1 I cer delivered iu my life." Il;s utterances were getting thick aud his neck Incoming too limber to sup- port his head, and of a sudden the tears came to his eyes again. "Well, after the speech?" queried Mrs. Bowser. "Everybody whooped and yelled and clapped their hands, and some of 'em didn't got over laughing for ten min utes. I can tell you I felt proud. Mrs. Bowser-proud and glad that I was Bowser. Had a drink. Had another drink. Had three or four drinks. Then the Old Jays jumped ou to me." "H'sw jumped en to you?" "They said I was nn old sport aud a good feller, and they put me lu a blan ket and tossed me up to the ceiling. Yes. tossed me up over a thousand times. It was awful, awful, awful! When they got tired of that they sand papered my bald head. Yes, Mrs. Bow ser, they sandpapered the head of your loving husband and scratched matches on it." His tears flowed and his lip trembled, and it was a long minute before he could go on. "Then they rolled me on a barrel, painted my shoes and poured sand down my back, and when they let me go I was almost dead. I was all turned around and didn't know the way home, and it's a wonder I ever got here. Wasn't it awful. Mish B jwsher wasn't it jus' awful?" "I told you I was afraid they'd play some game on you." "Yesh, you told me, but I didu't be lieve it. I believed you was jealous be cause I was such a great man. I was wrong, and you was right. Will you forgive nse, MNh Bowsher?" "There's nothing to forgive, but if I were you I'd resign from the OM Jays." "You bet I will! Never again will 'or Ole Jays make a jay of me! Where's 'er cat?" "What do you want of her?" "Wanter beg her pardon too. I tell you, Mish Bowsher I tell you It wasn't right, and you know It, and the cat knows it, and the Old Jays know It, and" "I guess you'd better be getting to bod," said Mrs. Bowser as he sat blink ing at her with his sentence unfinished. "Yesh. Most popular Ol' Jay better be gettin' to bed," he replied as he took her arm and was assisted upstairs. M. QUAD. the Motor. "Como on, tlieu! I'm wire haired, bo mind your tires!"

BEEF CATTLE Frofessor Soule tf tho Virginia ex periment Mittlou recently made the fol lowing report of a cattle feeding test: During last winter nn Interesting ex periment wllh sixty head of beef cnttie was conducted nt the experiment Mo tion. The twenty cattle fed sllaw nuide nn nverage gain of 1.4d pound per bend per day, the twenty cnttie fill timothy hay 1.10 pound per bead , tier ilav and the twenty cnttie fed ! shredded corn stover, .l7 pound per head per day. There was thus a difference of one third to one-half pound of gain per head per day lu favor of the silage led ... .. l ... 1. 1... I . M cattle, lliesuago um came iuh-mhm uii the best and showed more piality than the others and In any dlscriuiinntii! market would have brought u consider ably higher price. The strong prejudice against using silage for the winter feeding of beef cattle Is hard t.i understand, for It has been fully demonstrated that silage fed cattle will kill out .jiiitc as well as Hie dry fed cattle, and the meat Is. general ly speaking, of a superior (piality. Whereas the silage "as all eaten up. 1:1.5 of the stover and 4. Id per cent of the hay were wasted. The gains sh nv that the cattle fed were not of n satisfactory ipial'.ty. In previous experiments a pound of grain has been made for n consumption of three to four pounds tf grain. The silage fed cattle iu this test consumed t'..."4 pounds of graiu for a pound of gain, the stover fed cattle 11. IS pounds, or about twice 11s much, and the hay f,d cattle S.! p muds. r 12.45 pounds more per day than the silage fed cattle With better bred animals fiHl In pre vious experiments, the average gain per head has often been pounds throughout the six mouths' feeding pe riod, which again testifies to the un satisfactory (piality of the animals fed in this tett. Impress of the-Shorthorn. Our cattle today would have been im , mcnsely more uniform, fully as valua-', ble and probably more useful as a whole If none except Shorthorns had ever lieen imported as improvers. 1 1. inm- buoi:iuoi;n' cow. writes It. l. IJoss in Breeder's Ga zette. The fact that with the excep- j tion of a very few herds the American ; Shorthorn has been bred for beef for a j century, and by beef men, and at this day does persist iu putting out cows ; with some value for milk indicates a , milky way iu the Shorthorn armament ' somewhere. Commenting on the above, the editor of the Gazette says, "The excellence j claimed for our so called 'natives' of the present day is generally to be cred ited to a dash of the blood of uome im proved breed, usually the Shorthorn, which has been the pioneer cosmopol itan Improver of bovine stocks." Fat Draft llornen. Large, heavy draft horses bring more money than lighter ones. For this rea son a great many dealers aud handlers of drafters try to get them as fat as possible before offering them for sale. Discriminating purchasers, however, are very (juick to notice the difference between fat and muscle. A corn fed, closely stabled draft horse is In very much the same condi tion as a fat ox and Is of little more service for hard work. In buying such j a horse tue new owner uas a jou ou his hands to work the fat oft and de velop muscle enough to make a valu able worker. With proper feed and a reasonable amount of exercise it Is Just as easy and Just about as cheap to cover a horse's bones with good healthy mus cle as It Is to stable LIuj, feed him corn aud get him hog fat. The muscular horse gives satisfaction and helps Bell the next one. Farmers Advocate. Name of O. I. C. Unlne, 'JTie O. I. ('. bogs are simply what their name (Ohio Improved Cheaters) Implies.

(lor Convenient nml l.rsa TtrlntY Than llnrnrhKrk KM Ins. Cnmcl riding lu the descit of Saharn b not so very fatiguing after one has (earned how. A veteran traveler In Hint district describes the process: "Each riding rMucl has 11 brklle, or tnther a halter, ot pl.iitod leather like an ordinary halter nnd the cnmcl Is guldf! as 11 horse would be If riding lit 10 with one rein only. The middle Is a most elaborate affair. To adjust one froperly on a camel's linnip Is an art extremely dlillcult to muster. First two cushions of leather, Muffed with grass straw, are placed ou the iinlinnl'K hump, nnd on these Is set the saddle. This latter consists of two wooden forks, one lu front nnd one behind, eon liocted by 11 side board. Above this Is placed the seat of the saddle, which Is built like a sipiare saucer. The tops of the wooden forks rising lu front and behind form two snddlehorus, and. once one has negotiated his way lit I the saucer and Installed the feet and legs by letting them, from the knee downward, hang over the front, one Is pretty safe from falling out. Cushions and rugs placed lu this saiiccrllkc de pression mid to the comfort. The sad dle Is securol by a wide girth nnd also by n shoulder strap and girth nt the hack that takes the place of a crupper. "There are, of course, no stirrups, the foot merely hanging over the front. After one has learned to avoid tin oc casional Vg lu the middle of the back from the hindmost horn nnd has be come accustomed to the weight of the legs hanging over the front, camel rid ing is very comfortable and far less iinng man uorscnacK ruiiiiK. -kh--iuiij j as one's position ceu be varied In many ways by riding sidesaddle or crossing the legs ou the earners neck, aud so forth. The long, swinging gait Is fairly easy, and one can move about on a camel's back In a maimer that would startle any ordinary horse. "On the saddle are carried a pair of leather saddlebags, wherein I carry books, maps. Instruments, cartridges, lunch nml the like. From the horns of the saddle are hung rltlo. Held glasses. : prismatic compass and water bottle, t Altogether It Is a pretty c unplete out-! fit and only cpialed by a Chinese chair j for convenience in traveling when one wishes to hunt aud n.ip at the samel time." !
