There were three or four things on Mr.
Bowser's mind as he came home to dinner
f the other evening. Some one had stolon
his umbrella, and some one most be blamed
for it. He had snapped a button off his
vest, and of coarse that was Mrs. Bowser's
fault His shirt bunched np around the
neck, and some one most be held responsi
ble. In jumping off the car he broke a
suspender, but would that suspender have
Riven way in that manner if Mrs. Bowser
hud been attending to herdomestic duties?
Mr. Bowser began on the dinner itself,
intending to gradually lead up to the other
things. The beef was overdone, the pota
toes not properly masbud, and he found
fault with the butter and oocoa and every
thing else. He expected to hear Mrs. Bow
ser make excuses and try to soothe him,
but she bad nothing to say. Even when he
declared that he would go out and dis
charge the cook if she didn't, she simply
looked at him in a queer sort of vray in
stead of answering:
"Mr. Bowser, please be a little patient
I know she is a poor stick of a girl, but I
hope to change her for a better one soon.
I am ashamed that yon must sit down to
such a dinner in your own boune, and I
promise it shall not happen again."'
SHE TTEXT ON IN A CALM, COLD WAT.
Mr. Bowser confessed to himself that it
was surprising, but he hadn't the remotest
idea that the worm was about to turn.
For three long years he had held MVs.
Bowser under his thumb, and he had couio
to loek upon her as the most docile of
wives. He left the tjible wondering if she
hadn't a sick headache or hadn't received
a letter with bad news, but after a few
minutes, as she made no excuses, he in
quired: "Mrs. Bowser, do you know whether
this shirt belongs to me or to a man eleven
feet fiigh who wen m a No. 17 collar?"
"No, sir!" she promptly replied, as she
looked him full in tHie eyes.
"You you don'tl"
"No, sir! I put your shirts in a drawer,
just as they come from the laundry, and
you change whenever you want to. What's
the matter with the one you have on?"
"Matter! Matter! Why the infernal
thing has all climbed up around my necl!"
"Well, go and change it; you've got half
a doz'enjh the drawer."
Mr. Bowser had grown pale, as he stood
up to say:
"I hadn't got a rod from the house this
morning when a button flew oft my vest!
I suppose I've got half a dozen vests tn a
drawer somewhere, haven't I!"
"Bo you imagine that I married yon to
watch your rest buttons!" demanded Mr3.
Bowser.
"W-what! What's rtnit!" he asked,
growing paler still, and his eyee hanging
out in surprise.. "Mrs. Bowser, no wife
should eveytalk back to hor husband!"
"And no husband should make a crank
and a nuisance of himself!" sue retorted.
"Crankl Nuisance!" he repeated, as if
he mistrusted his hearing, and his knees
growing so weak that he hud it o sit down.
For half a minute the rpom seemed to
whirP around with him. Then he pulled
himself together and said:
"Mrs. Bowser, I do not want the gossip
of a divorce suit, but it seems to me
that"
"If you are dissatisfied, you can file a bill
tomorrow" she interrupted, with an inde
pendent toss of lier head.
He sat and looked at her with open
month. He rubbed his aye and looked
again, and he wondered to himself if it
was all a dream. His voice sounded strange
to his own eans, as ha finally siiid:
"Mr. Bowser, it has always pained me
to be obliged to speak of the way this
house is run. but I have felt it to be my
duty as a husband to do"
"This bouse has been run well enough
to suit me!" she interrupted iu icy tones.
"If it hadn't been, I should have got out
of 'it long ago! Dan't you like my man
agement, Mr. Bowser?"
His face was as white as flour, and his
hair was trying to stand up, and he could
only stare at her.
"There are several little tilings I want to
speak to you about," she continued, as she
rocked to and fro. "You have no business
poking your nose into the kitchen, for in
stance. When Ican'toversee thu help down
there I'll give you due notice and let you
try your hand. And I don't want this
kisking and fault finding about the meals.
We buy enough and it is cooked well
enough for any family in onr circum
stances. If you don't agree with me, Mien
you'd better go to some high toned hotel!"
Was that Mrs. Bowser sitting before
him the wife who had sometimes dared
to assert her opinion, hut had always
"knuckled"' whea he reminded her tLat
man was the superior bt-liig?
"And another thing" she wout on in a
cold, ealm way which froze his. blood "I
want a certain sum set aside fit me each
week as salary. As the case ui w stands I
have to beg for every dollar I g t. While
you have plenty of pin money, I lave none.
Your cigars alone cost you tin ?e dollars
per week. I want five dollars e ery Satur
day afternoon, and it will be no: e of your
business how I spend it."
' Mr. Bowser came back to ootiJcioasnoss.
He realized, that the case called r heroic
treatment and he stood up to sn

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Progress of the Liveliest Paper in the
Great West.
The Amesde Honorable. In our last
issue we stated that Tom Jordon, proprie
tor of the Bald Eagle saloon, had to leave
Montana for gouging one Bill White's
right eye out in a sirioon row. Mr. Jordon
called at the office next day and brought
abundance of proof that we were mistak
en. It was not with Bill White, but with
Sim Davis, that he had a row, and it was
not Davis' right eye, but his left, which
was left sparkling in the sawdust after
the fight was over.
It has always been the policy of The
Kicker to state facts and facts only.
Being satisfied that we did Mr. Jordon an
injustice in our statement, we hereby
make the amende honorable, as the New
York dailies call it. Mr. Jordon not only
lubscribed to The KiciiER, paying a year
in advance, but his attractive advertise
ment will be found under the head of
"Saloons" on another page.
IT DIDN'T TAKE. When Professor Went
worth Foster came to us as the owner of
the only hall in town and wanted to en
gage it to deliver his world renowned lec
ture on "The Past and Future of Egypt,"
we frankly told him that our people would
be disappointed. When he ajproached ua
as editor of ThrKickkb we told him tho
same thing. When he came to us a3
mayor for his license we reiterated our
former observations, but he was self willed
and obstinate. He got out his pitper and
went ahead. The boys crowded the hall
nt a quarter a head, anticipating an exhi
bition of mummies and a boxing match as
a wind up. Some even figured, just as we
had informed him they would, that he
would pass around a bottle of budge 0,000
or 7,000 years olu somet hing dug out from
under one of the pyramids.
We do not know where the professor is
located at this date. After the boys got
through tossing him in a blanket he dis
appeared in the direction of Poko moun
tain, and perhaps he is still moving. We
would say to all others of his ilk, however,
flint this is a plain town, full of plain peo
ple. We like to hear of almost anything
connected with the United States, from the
discovery by Columbus to the investiga
tion by the pension department, but wo
don't go a cent on anything over 500 years
old happening in a foreign country. We
haven't got any pyramids around here and
don't want any, and we run to the niulo
instead of the camel.
A BLUFF. Monday morning, while his
honor the mayor (who is ourself) was trans
acting official business in his room at the
city hall, a Clinch Valley cowboy named
Joe Scott sent in word that he was on the
public square prepared to take and hold
flip
SENT IN WORD TnAT TIE WAS ON THE PUB
LIC SQUAUE.
the town. In just thirteen seconds after
receiving the message, his honor had
buckled two revolvers about his waistoind
was at the foot of the stairs. His prompt
response to the defi rattled Scott, who put
spurs to his mule aud clattered out of town
without firing a shot. His honor got two
shots at the flying coward, one of which
passed through his hat, but he got away
unhurt, and people who met him seven
miles out ay that he was still on the gal
lop. The Clinch Valley chaps might a3 well
quit their bluffing ajid knock under. They
could scare the former mayor out of his
boots with one war whoop, but things have
changed. The present mayor (who is our
self) doesn't scare, and lie is bound to run
this town on the law and oiiler principle if
it necessitates adding ten more acres to the
graveyard.
Changed His Mind. Our contemporary
is out with a scare head article informing
the public that Captain Bill Henderson
had stopped his subscri ption toTi-l E KieKER
because'it did not satisfy him as a news
paper. Oiw contemporary is off his base,
as usual. We heard that the captain had
said he should do so, and we spent half a
day looking him up. He wasn't five min
utes in deciding to continue on as a pay
ing subscriber. We don't deny that any
one has a legal right to stop his copy of
Tuk Kicker any time he so elects, but in
every instance we shall look linn up and
demand an explanation.
PASSING THE GATEMAN.
Just Uow He Would Treat the President
of the Koail.
Tlie-re were gates to prevent passengers
from gaining access to the trains until
they had passed the ticket inspeetoEs, and
at one of them was a colored man who evi
dently reafUed the full dignity of his posi
tron. A lot of colored people were goin
down to Montgomery, and pretty soon an
old darky made a move for the gate.
"Stand back, sah stand back!" shouted
the gateman.
"What I stand 'jack fur?"queried the old
man.
"Kane yo'r tram hain't dun ready to go
yit'"
"But I want to git frew."
"Yo' can't do it."
"Boes yo' own dis railrode?"
"No, sali;-out I'ze put at dis yere gate to
be 'sponsible. Nobody kin pass 'till de
train is dun ready."
"STANL BACK, SAH!"
"Yo's a powerful sigger, hain't yo'?"
H" w
I sneered the old man. " 'Sposin de boss of
de railrode should dun "come along I
reckon yo' wouldn't stop him."
"If de president of dU line should dun
cum along." replied the g&leman, u he
drew himself up, "I should say:
" Train hain't in yit.
" 'But I'm de president,
" "Show yo'r ticket.'
" 'But I doau't he to.'
"'Den jo' uiiist be identified by rnm
body!' " 'Why. Billy, doan't yo' know me! Pre
de man who gin yo' dis ye re job at fo'ty
dollars a month, an who am gwine to
make yo' conductor next fall"
" 'Oh, yes! I dun recognize yo' now, Mara
Peters! Pass on, sah pass on, but doau'
let dis happen agin!'
"Dat's what I'd say, ole man," continued
the gateman, as be waved his arm to the
ancient relic, "an now yo' kin see what a
clus call yo' hev had in buckin up agin
me! I 'senses yo' dis time kase yo' Is ole
an pore, but doan' provocate any furder
distinguished dissatisfactions onlesa yo'
want heaps o' t rubble!"
Petrified Prices.
We were sitting on the tavern veranda
after supper for a smoke, when an old
darky with a crooked leg came along aud
took off his hat and said:
"GemTen, I should like to az yo' a few
qneshuns, please."
Being told to go ahead, be came up the
steps, bowed and scraped, and observed:
"I lost my ole woman doorin de wall, an
she was buried on de gravel ridge ober
yere 'bout two miles. 1 dun went an dug
up de body lat week to put it in a new
place, an it was all paralyzed to stun." j
"You mean petrified."
"Dat's it, sah. Took fo' men to git it
out of de grave. Jest dun turned into rock
an looked as nateral as life. Seemed like
I was duo talkin to de ole lady agin."
"Yes.,T
"She was lyin dnr on de grass when a
feller driv up in a wagin an ofiered me five
dollars fur de body. Do yo' reckon it was
right to sell it ?"
"Well, that's according to your own feel
ings." "Jest so. She was dun dead."
"Yes."
"An all turned to stun."
"Yes."
"An so I reckoned it wouldn't hurt nuf
fin. I got do money an de man driv off.
An now Uncle Jason tells me dat I got
cheated. He says a paralyzed body am
wuth thirty dollars. Kin yo' tell me if
dat's so?"
"You ought to have got at least twenty
five dollars."
"Hit! Den I was cheated?"
"It looks that way."
"Jest beat right outer twenty dollars!
Hul Wall, dey doan play dat trick on me
agin. I'ze got de market price now, an I
knows what flgger to ask."
"But the body is already gone." .
"Yes, dat body, but I dun buried two
odder wives an three chillen on dat same
gravel ridge, an when I git 'em dug out
dey is gwine to fetch market quotashuus
or I'll tumbled 'em right back in agia!"

It i Broad ICaoush.
It can no longer bo said that the
pkitform is a farmers' platform. The
men from the far-ms, from the shops,
from the mines, and the marts of
trade met together and participirted in
its formation. It is a platform framed
by the industrial classes of all occu
pations and from all sections of the
oountry. They all regarded it as
broad enough to servo their interests.
It does not of course, cover every
necessary reform. It is not intended
to do so. The representatives assem
bled in that conference recognized the
most urgent necessities of the people
and pointed oiffc remedies for eome of
the evils under which we are suffer
ing. It further recognized the fact
that a party of the peoplo, in touch
and sympathy with the masses, aod
representing their interests. will
rsmoty other ills than those indicated
in the platform when it is in a posi
tion to do so. As a matter of fact the
proper time to make demands on a
parfy is when it is in a position to
grant them; and it is good policy to
limit a piutform to a few fundamental
priaciples.eaTopwka Advocate.
To Destroy Corporation.
One of the greatest and iuot exact
ing requirements in dealing with the
financial problom is to destroy corpor
ation control of tho money of tho
country. The general governmeat
should take and exeruise absokite con
trol of the money, and give the peo
ple money that is a legal lender for
all debts and taxes of ail kinds, so
that it camnot be depreciated and will
pass m every state of the union. The
constitution demands and exacts this,
and it should not be relaxed to impair
the value of the dollar oj- to suit the
whim or caprice of anybody or to ad
vance the interest of any class. A
bill has been recently introduced in
tho senate to repeal the tax on state
banks, in order to meet the demand
or tho people for more money. That
does not meet the damand. It is in
tended as a side track to switch off
the train of reform headed toward
success. State banks would advance
and encourage tho very evil about
which there is most complaint
that corporations control the cur
rency, and, by that power of
control, are enabled to price every
eommodLty. That is tho worst feature
of national banks. It is the one which
has oaueed the most of the warfare
made on them. State banks are more
obnoxious than national banks, for the
reason that e'aoti state will regulate
them, ami there is too much danger in
entrusting this great pewer to so many
different governments. While con.
fined to one power, anybody can watch
that and keep po,sted, but to watch
forty-four would be too much trouble
and be fraught with forty -fou times
more danger than to entrust it where
it belongs the general government.
No compromises on the financial q-ue?-tion
are desired or acceptable. Tho
general government has the power. It
ought to exercit-e it. It is it highest
prerogative and should not be dele
gated, directly or indirectly, to any
other power. Southern Alliance
Farmer.
Topeka Advocate: The farmers
own 'i0 per cent of our nalkmal
wealth and pay 80 per cant, of the
taxes. Two-thirds of our aggregate
wealth is not assesed for taxation and
is practically an incumbrance on the
taxi'ibrti property of the country. Its
value consists in its legal power to
absorb the wealth of the country in
tire sliape of interest, dividends, and
so forth. Tho property that pays
tuxes and supports the gavennment,
must also pay tribute to the wealth
that escapes taxation altogether. This
is the logical se ,ueni e o.' false condi
tions established by law for which tho
old parties are responsible.

Gentlemen: Your favor of the 12th inst. duly received. According to the
description of the wire you have used, I would say, that it is just wkat we want.
We have no wire nearer than N. Y., so you had better arrange for your own
wire, unless your gates are so constructed that we can put on the wire without
much trouble and you allow us the difference. Make our order seventy-eight,
including the one sent to Chicago instead of seventy-five as was ordered. ;
Yours truly. Southwestern Steel Post Co.
