The Case of I'oor Old Dolby Couiea I p
for Iiacuwaion.
"Ry George! Inn that' Just what I

he liHiked up from bin paper the other
evening. "Here's ail it.-m to the i-fTt-ct
Unit the Sheriff has K-i d upon every
thing be could find iM-hoigiug to I olliy I"
"For what reason',' asked Mrs. Iluw-S'-r.
"Tor the reason that he hud nac lunl

I this la the end of it. It was a pitiful
iMH'ctaele to see that inau going to finan

but nothing could check her."
.Mrs. Itowser didn't know what was
coming, arid prudently maintained si
lence. Mr. liowscr pic ked up the paper,
lead the item again, and then said:
".Mrs. Bowser, ierh.ips I didn't praise
you as often as I should, but you can be

I want to say that if It hadn't been for
your economy and good ina:iiiiiient
wo. wouldn't, have been worth cents
where we? are Worth dollars."
"Do yon-yon really mean it?" stam
mered Mrs. Itowtior.
"You bet I do! I ought to have said
so once n week for the hist ten years,
but I'm an old c,rniik about somethings.
Yes, Mrs. Bowser, you are a helpmate
In the true sense of the term, ami no
husband was ever nmre proud of his
wife. Here's 11 kiss for you, and for
give me for heiiig a menu old cur
mudgeon." When Mr. I'.owser hnd gone back to
his chair and picked up his paper Mrs
llowser realized that she ought to make
some excuse to run in mwt door or
get upstairs for an hour and wait for
Mr. Bowser's mood to change before
tiaylng what she- was obliged to say.
She hud no reasonable pr-iexi, how
ever, and hoping that things might
turn out all right sin- finally said:
"Mr, Bowser, do jmi think your coal
man gives ymi full weight';"
"Why, certainly," he replied. "Yes,
he's a sipiar man and I've 110 fault to
find. Why do you ask?"
"1 thought our coal burned out alto
gether too fast."
"Well, I (I1111110. I ligureil that we
would have enough to run through the
summer."
"But the coal Is out, Mr. Bowser!"
"V what! All that -om1 gone! You
don't rneai. It!"
"I know that cook bus been 11s saving
as she could," said Mrs. llowser, as the
color left her face, "but there Is only
enough to last to-morrow."
"Mrs. Bowser!" said Mr. Bowser, as
he stood up and glared down at her,
"WF. AUK HANKIUTT! WK AUK PAI I'KIIS."
"what Jias become of those ten tons of
coal laid In only a few weeks ago?"
"You didn't get but two tons, and of
course they have been us"d to cook
with," she replied.
"Never! Never In this world! Kveii u
steiini saw-mill could not have Used up
such a heap of coal iu so short a time!

'"I lie plumber has sent in his bill,"
(piletly observed Mrs. Bowser as Mr.
llowser walked up and own nud kicked
1 hassock out of his way.
"The plumber his bill! Why has a
plumber sent me n bill?"
"Why, I told you about that leaking
water pipe two weeks ago, and you told
me to have the plumber on the corner
come over and solder It. The bill Is
only SM) cents."
"Ninety cents for soldering up a leak
no larger than a pin!" whooped Mr.
Uowner. "I'll see tbat plumber plump

"No."
"Of course not. That shows your In
terest in your hushaud's H koiljik! If
be had handed In a bill for s"i you
Wouldn't have said a word! And now,
Mrs. Bowser, how did that piie come
to leak ?"
"Something caused It to give way, I
suppose."
"Kxactly-something caused It to give
way. but what? Did some one go dwu
cellar and swing on that water pipe
and seek to pull ivlooKi-y Did some one
strike it w ith the ax or jab it with the
crow bar?"
"Don't he foolish, Mr. Bowser. I might
as well tell you that the glass in the
back kitceu door was broken several
days ago."
"It was, eh!" gasped Mr. Bowser as
he sat down on the edge of a chair and
looked at her. "Some one, In order to
spite her husband and add to the load
he Is staggering under, walked up to
that door with a rolling pin and delib
erately smashed out a 17 pane of
glass!"
"A man offered to replace It for 70
cents, and It was broken hy a gust of
wind slamming the door. The gill bad
Just called to me to come down and
look at her tubs, when "
"Mrs. Bowser,, are you going to tell
me that anything is wrong with those
tubs?" Interrupted Mr. Bowser as he
stood up again.
"The w aste pipe in one of them seems
to be clogged."
"Seems -to - be -clogged! That means
that some person has gone down there
and taken the poker and ra.nmed and
Jammed and pounded the dish-cloth
Into the mouth of the pipe! It menus
another visit from the plumber -another
bill for $15 -a tear-up of all the
pipes and drains about the house!"
"I think it Is only a piece of soap
which will soon dissolve,' explained
Mrs. Bowser
"Yes, you think, but what does your
thinking amount to In the face of facts?
You couldn't think of any other way to
bring me to the poorliouse, and so you
jam a dish-clolh Into a drain-pipe!
When you were at it why didn't you
blow up .the range wllh gunpowder,
explode the gas meter, smash all the
windows in the house, and 'give the fur
niture to soum old tramp?"
"Mr. Bowser, can I help it. If the coal
burns out, and the water pipes burst!",
protested Mrs. Bowser. "When the
grate burned out of the range the other
day was I in any manner "
"And so the grate has burned out of
the range again!" he Interrupted. "'1 hat

Imagined that a mill; bill would be. val

"But this bill Is Just a straight-ahead
ordinary bill, with no cow, for so many
ipiurts of milk, like a bill of any other

cow on Ihe bill they tell me we never
