BOWSER NOT DEAD Although For a Time He Feels Dissolution Near. HE BEARS UP LIKE A MAN. Meanwhile Mr*. B. la Kept Busy Attending to Hia Wants, Which Are Many—lnvalid Recovera Through Sheer Power of Will. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary Press.] FOR ten days or more Mrs. Bowser had noticed that Mn Bowser dragged one of his legs a bit when walking, and in going up and down stairs be swore several times under his breath. At length she asked: “Have you had a fall or hurt your hip?” “Os course not,” was the reply. “I notice that you limp." "The shoe on my right foot pinches a little.” “Oh, that’s it. 1 didn't know but it was rheumatism. You've got wot several times lately." “When rheumatism comes I’ll take care of it." She said no more, but the other evening she noticed that he had hard work getting up the steps and that he had a scared look in Ids eyes. He was very sober during dinner hour and for some time after, but after numerous sighs and grunts he suddenly exclaimed: “By John, Mrs. Bowser, but what in thunder has got into my logs? I don’t believe I can walk three steps.” “It’s rheumatism, probably,” she replied, “and you ought to attend to it ST® Inks « WWW, ■ ! ■ N? I X x n "WHAT IN THUNDER HAS GOT IN MY LEGS?" very sharply. Your legs must be well rubbed with liniment.” i “You—you don’t mean that I’ve actually got rheumatism!” he whispered as he grew white around the mouth. \‘Tm sure of it. I think you’ve had It thonging around you for some weeks.” “Add rheumatism ties a man up in knots and often goes to his heart and kills him like a bullet?” “Yes." Bowser Turns Pale. Mr.\Bowser grew paler, and his chin quivered, but as Mrs. Bowser began to express her hopes that this was only a mild attack and would yield readily to treatment he took a sudden resolve and almost sternly said: \.“Well, we won’t worry. Whatever it Isjl will bear it like a man. I may be a cripple in the house for months or years\but you won’t hear one word of complaint from me.” He managed to get upstairs after a great deal of trouble, and after he had been rubbed and helped into bed he felt so much better that he went to sleep. When he awoke in the morning, however, it was a different thing. His legs were almost as stiff as crowbars, and the doctor arrived to warn him that he was good for three days in bed. He was asked to exercise patience and keep a cheerful spirit, and he replied: “Not one complaint shall be heard from me, doctor, and I’ll whistle and sing all the time.” I That was the way the first day start* ed in. The doctor had been gone exactly four minutes when Mr. Bowser suddenly exclaimed: “By gum, you are taking it cool for a woman with a dying husband.” “But what can I do for you?” asked Mrs. Bowser. “You can turn my pillow over, rub my feet, give me that camphor, get me the morning paper, bring me a cigar. A loving wife would think of a hundred things to do.” His First Day In Bed. During that first day Mr. Bowser was assisted to turn over in bed twen-ty-eight times, his pillow was elevated or lowered thirty-four times, he smelled of the camphor bottle twenty-two times and he had his feet rubbed fourteen times. The window of his bedroom was lowered or raised thirty-six times, and he had four kinds of broth and twelve special dishes. He had made twenty-three predictions as to being dead in the morning. All this, and yet at 10 o’clock at night he said to Mrs. Bowser: “If you have no Interest in this case, just let m» know, and I’ll hire a trained nurse!” , The second day really began one minute after midnight, as Mr. Bowser awoke at that instant and complained of a jerky sensation In one of his big toes. At 2 o’clock he had cold streaks, at 5 his knees were numb, and at 7 he felt a fluttering of the heart During the day he sat up and lay down, groaned and whistled, predicted that he would live for twenty years and that he would die before night. A neighbor who had heard of his Illness called to — tender his sympathies, and Mr. Bowser took advantage of the occasion-to remark: “This is a serious case, and, of course, I am suffering as if on the rack, but you notice how calmly I take it. I am not a man to make comeran .^tLJgathjstaripf

I me In the face 1 am trying to preserve a cheerful demeanor.” Patient Has Many Wanta. Mr. Bowser wanted beer, ginger ale and lemonade. He wanted strawberI riee and jellies and ice cream. He insisted that Mrs. Bowser telephone his condition to the doctor every hour, and : yet he declared that the family physlI clan didn’t know enough to doctor a dizzy headed cat. He set out with tears in his eyes to I tell Mrs. Bowser what to do as a widow, but at the end of ten minutes charged her with a desire to see him “planted” SO that she could marry again. Os the fifteen special dishes prepared for him be sipped at one or two, and when night came lie drew • p his knees with a sigh aud groaned out: “I should have gone to the hospital In the first place. I might have known that I couldn't get any attention in my own house." Mr. Bowser began this duy at 1 o’clock in the morning. He awoke Mrs. Bowser to inform her that he had a feeling In the small of his back as If a cold flatiron was resting there. An hour later he aroused her again to ask her If an itching heel was u good sign. He and his heel got along somehow until « o’clock, and then he demanded that she go down and club a fish peddler who was shouting his stock. During that day he threatened the life of the cat twelve different times, he called the doctor a quack twentyone times, and he made use of over sixty cuss words. Mrs. Bowser cooked beef, mutton and chicken In every way known to woman, but he found fault with each dish as it was presented. His feet were too high or his head too low. aud the bed either had a hollow or a hump in It. Not for three minutes at a time was he quiet or satisfied. but at 5 o’clock in the afternoon Mrs. Bowser had to go down to the kitchen to show the new cook about her work. Invalid Gets Up. Half an hour later, as she started up the stairs, she almost screamed out as she glanced into the sitting room. There stood Mr. Bowser fully dressed and bowing and smiling as the cat rubbed his legs and purred. “You—you here!” she gasped in astonishment. “I am here, Mrs. Bowser,” he blandly answered. “But your rheumatism?” “Rheumatism? Yes, I was at death’s door with rheumatism, but I brought my will power to bear on the physical and this is the result. You would have lain there and died,” “But I don’t understand.” “Simply because you don’t know your husband. I could have filled the house with complaints, but I uttered not one word. I could have folded my arms and died, but I willed it otherwise. Let this be a great moral lesson to you, Mrs. Bowser, and behold”— And he went waltzing around the room with his knees as limber as springs, and the cat followed after, while Mrs. Bowser raised her hands in astonishment and said to herself: “Was there ever another man in all this world like Mr. Bowser?” Smallpox and Diphtheria There is less dread of these diseases now than formerly, because everybody knows they be prevented, one by vaccination, the other with antitoxin.

FOUNDRY PROSPECTS iEXCEEDINGLY BRIGHT ' Drawings Now In Local Plant That Will Tax Its Capacity We are fortunate in having a foundry that is as staple as the Gilderman Manufacturing and Foundry Co. The Dalton foundry at Warsaw and the Kelley at Elkhart are both closed down and there are numerous others throughout the country in the same fix. The local plant is running about two-thirds of its workmen and all indications point to the resumption of running a full force about the first of the year. Drawings have been recieved from a large firm and Mr. Gilder* man and his assistants are now going over them with the view of adding the necessary machinery to take care of the contract that they are reasonably certain of obtaining. 1 This contract would mean the output of from 15 to 20 tons of castings each day and would compel an enlargement of both the ■ plant and the working force. Rather a rosy view for both the foundry « and the town. The superintendent, Mr. Plum beck, is moving his family to La- , Porte for the winter. Business will keep him there for six or eight months and he will return to Syracuse some time next summer. We Are Missing Them North Webster and Cromwell correspondents have been among ' the absent for several weeks and their items are missed. We would be glad to receive their letters every week. MACABEESWENTTO CROMWELL WERE GUESTS OF THE ORDER THERE SATURDAY EVENING The entertainment committee of | the Cromwell Ladies of the Maca- I bees sprang a surprise on their sis- I ters, Saturday evening, by inviting I the local’order over to the neighboring town. The Syracuse ladies were royally treated and returned home Sunday morning. Those who were there are the Mesdames Celestia Hill a bold, Sarah McPherson, Ida Medlam, Lucy Butt, Ella McPherson, Mary Swihart, Louise Bunger, Malinda Darr. Carrie Craft, and Ella Self and the Misses Emma Strieby and Georgia Strock. Bright Light The ornamental lighting post installed by the Light and Power Company is nlaking a better showing even than was expected. Mr. Depew informs us that these lights can be installed for $35.00. Surely this price is reasonable enough to warrant others in placing them. A few more of these lights on Main street would make our town look very prosperous and we believe that a town is nearly as prosperous as it looks. LECTURE IS WELL RECEIVED FIRST NUMBER ON THE COURSE GIVES SATISFACTION A lecture along original lines was given by Dr. Edward J. Heustler under the auspices of the M. E. Ladies Aid Society at the Opera House, Monday evening. He had full control of his suject at all times and succeeded in pleasing the goodsized audience that greeted his first appearance in Syracuse. No Milk Wagon Verl Richhart made his last trip in the milk wagon last Friday and since that time the most of us have b?.en acquiring a taste for the condensed article. Mr. Richhart has other business requiring his time and unable to find a buyer he stopped the wagon. Box Supper There will be a Box Supper and an entertainment at the Dismal School House, Friday evening December 5, 1913. Everybody come and bring a box. Viola Kaufmann, Teacher. t

NOW Is a Good Time to Discard That Old RangeHave something to be REALLY thankful for this Thanksgiving —a tight, new MONARCH Range, built with Malleable Iron RIVETED to heavy Wellsville steel, so well constructed it can’t open up in the seams to cause air-leaks and false drafts. Get rid of the old “cast iron and steel” affair that’s wasting your money and spoiling your bakings. Why the MONARCHStays A stove that is bolted together works well at first. But when the bolts loosen, and the stove-putty falls out, you can’t control rhe fire and you use more than double the amount of fuel necessary.
