That lie Knows a Thing cr 1 Two About DcucTRrork Copyright. 1303, by C. B. Lewis. AS the Bowsers finished break fast the other morning the cook asked Mrs. Bowser for a private word and was granted a dozen of tbem. The result was that as Mr. Bowser was ready to start for the office he was asked If he couldn't stop somewhere and send a washer woman up. "For what reason?" he bluntly queried. ror me reason that the cook Is now packing np her things and will be gone in half an bonr. If I can get some one to do the washing I'll manage the other work till we get a new girl." "And the cook Is going to quit with-' out an hour's notice? This is another specimen of your way of managing things. Your cold hearted, autocratic ways have chilled the poor girl's heart ; and driven her to desperation. The chances are nine out of ten that she's going off to jump into the river." "The chances are that her mother is very ill and she has been sent for," said Mrs. Bowser. "There Is no specimen about it, and neither has she complain ed of my ways. You' have heard her singing every evening and spoken of her contentment and good spirits. Will you send up a woman to wash?" "Mrs. Bowser, there is something wrong about this house something rad ically wrong. When a poor, hardwork ing girl leaves us at a moment's no tice and probably carries a piece of clothesline with her with which to hang herself it is ray duty as the responsi ble bead to look into things." At that moment "the poor, hardwork ing girl" came down with her bundle and said to Mrs. Bowser: "I'm sorry, ma'am, as you are one of the best womeu I ever worked for, but you know Low it i.i If mother gets better I'll come back to you." Mrs. Bowser couldn't repress a smile of triumph as she looked at Mr. Bow ser, but he was not the man to take a back seat. "As I said," he observed, "there is something radically wrong here, and it UE STARTED TO HANG la my duty to investigate. I shall not send up a washerwoman." "Then there will be no washing done." "On the contrary, there will be. I shall do it myself." "You you will wash?" "I will wash'. Sooner than let an outsider know that you have driven a heartbroken girl to her grave I will do the washing, and do it well. I can take a day from the office as well as not, and I want to get an Insight into this housework." Ten minutes later Mr. Bowser had changed his clothes and was ready for business. He ordered Mrs. Bowser to remain away from the kitchen, and his first move was to draw one of the laun dry tubs full of hot water and cram all the clothes into it. In a dim way he had heard of washing compounds, and after a brief hunt he got hold of a box. It was labeled "Baking Powder" plain enough, but it looked like washing soda to him, and in it went to make the clothes wash easier. In a dim way he had also heard of bluing. He had no doubt that it ought to go in on top of the baking powder and that it ought to be used in liberal quantities, and he went ahead. When flannels and cottons and soap and blu Inj and baking powder had been well 6tirred up together Mr. Bowser got out the washboard, and his rub-a-dub-dub was heard in the sitting room above. "Nothing hard about this," he mused as he gave a sheet three or four rubs and then flopped It over into another tub to be rinsed later on. "Any wom an who would be all day doing this wash would simply loaf half her time away." At that moment Mrs. Bowser looked in on him, and after one sight of the clothes In the tub she exclaimed: "Good gracious, but you are going to dye everything blue! I knew tne clothes would be spoiled if you fooled with 'thorn, and now" "And now. Madam Bowser," be in tcrrupted. you retire and leave me alon?. I :;:u doing this washing, and I am tin;;::: hilly msponsible for all dam ages. ";en I am through I will ask f;;r yoT c ritlcism. "I-nl youv r'.t in baking powder instead cf washing soda!" she said as sLc diiight siLt of the empty box. "Y-e-s. I guess I did." he slowly re- piled, -but it was an experiment and will tarn oat all right. Get along, now. and don't bother tne. 1 want to make a record with thU washing." lie had been left alone fire minutes and had rubbed out another sheet and begun on a towel when he happened to think about starch. He knew that starch came in somewhere, but whether in the beginning or the end he could not remember. The only way was to take chances, and he got down the pound paper and poured ha'f its con tents into the tub. There was a pasty but not unpleasant feeling to the water as he continued to souse and rub and flop, and. accord ing to his best belief, he had hit the nail on the head. If Mrs. Bowser had let him alone he would have finished the wash In an hour, as he had dis covered that about four rubs and a flop were enough for even a sheet or tablecloth, but ten minutes after her first call she was back again to say: "You must have been putting Kat meal iu the water. Everything there will be ruined before you get through. My stars, but you have used bluing enough for forty washings!" "Woman, will you let me alone?" he shouted in reply as he held up a pil lowcase by one end. - "When I don't know how to do a family washing you can apply to the courts to have a guardian appointed for me. Of course I. put starch in the water. You don't suppose I am fool enough to sprinkle it over the back yard, do you?" "But you are washing flannels with the other things!" "Of course I am, and I know what I'm about. Don't you dare to disturb me again or I'll chuck the whole wash ing down the cellar stairs!" At the end of another half hour Mr. Bowser had finished. He hadn't been quite an hour and a half doing what a washerwoman would want at least six hours to do. He rinsed the clothes through the second tub and then swish ed them around in the third and put them through the wringer. All at once he noticed the stove boiler, and for a OUT THE CLOTHES. moment his heart beat tumultuously. The idea flashed across him that it was somehow connected with washing, but after a bit his face cleared and he got his breath again. What the boiler was used for, as he suddenly remembered, was to heat water to thaw out frozen pipes in the winter. Mr. Bowser was no halfway man. Having done the washing, he started to bang out the clothes. Bareheaded and with his shirt sleeves rolled up,-be had hung his first sheet on the line when the cir cus started up. That sheet was the most wonderful sight ever seen pinned to a clothesline. It was blue and white, blue and gray, blue and several other colors, and ev ery woman on the block had her herd out of a back window to look at it and cheer and clap her hands. Boys yelled and climbed up cn the fence, and dogs howled and cats fled as from a pesti lence. Mr. Bowser held a clothespin between his teeth and a towel in his hand for five minutes, and then the applause was too much for him. He seized the-basket of clothes and walked into the kitchen just as Mrs. Bowser appeared. "Madam, perhaps you can tell me what this means!" he hotly demanded. "Hurrah for the red, white and blue!" yelled three or four boys in chorus from the alley fence. "It means," said Mrs. Bowser as she struggled with her emotion, "it means that you've you've" "I've what" "You've made a laughingstock of yourself. I told you not to wash and that you knew nothing about it. but you would" "I would persist. Yes, madam, I persisted, and I washed, and we have never had such a washing done since we were married, and and" And Mr. Bowser lifted up the bas ket of damp clothes baking powder clothes-and emptied the contents on the floor with a "haT and then stalked off upstairs with the feelings of a man who hadn't been given a fair shew to see what he would do in the laundry line, and as he sat and chewed the bit ter cud be could not stop bis ears to the song from the back yard, the song that kept saying: If he only knw how very blue. He never would wash no marc - M. QUAD. Aldermen Met in Regu lar Monthly Session Last Night LONG SESSION The Board Remained In Session Until a Late Hour Few 3fa tiers of Im portance Were Disposed of Mr. Hugh Macllae Mado Statement In Itegard to City Lights Matter of Heating Opera House by Steam Ubcusscd Several Ordinances Amended; OUer Matters Dis posed Of. The board of aldermen met in regu lar monthly session last night with all members present except Alderman W P. Gafford. After reading- the minutes of the last meeting the standing committees made their reports in their regular order. Finance Committee--Chairman W. H Yopp. stated that in accordance with bids advertised for to transcribe the back taxes Into one book, the contract naa-oeen awarded to Mr. John Gafford the lowest bidder, and the contract to furnish the book to the Jackson & Bell Company. It was reported that progress was being made in the Armour Packing Company case. Alderman Yopp said the finance com ma uee had met since the last meeting of the board and discussed 2&r. Hugh aiacltae's liability for city taxe ne stated that Mr. Macllae was present a. the meeting and made an explanation to them in regrad to his residency After -hearing: Mr. MacKae's t.e" men and already bavin? looked into the matter. Mr. Yopp said they decided as the county commissioners had done, that Mr. Macllae was a non-resident. Mr. MacRae appeared before the board last nigrht and mode a statement in re eard to the matter. Market Committee Chairman Tien ken said all the report that he had tj make was that the rhad benches at the market had been rented. Wgrht Committee Chairman Hashn gen said his report was about the s.mv as last month, that the odty lijrhts were very poor. 'Mr. Hug-h Macllae. president of the Consolidated Company, the company that furnishes the cit lights, wa? pres ent and made a statement in regard to the. ligrhts. He said he tho-ugrht A Mer man Hashagren under a mi supprt deri sion as to the ligats bein very bad for the past month. At the first glance at the reports he said it would appear that the lights had been bad. but after analyzing fhem h-e thought it appeared quite the reverse, that the city was be ing supplied with remarkably groi lights. Mr. MacRae said in fact tne lights in Wilmington were better than in any town he knew of. It was s.iown that out of 19.740 lamp hours during the month of December, only 14 lights wire reported out. making a loss during the month of about 4-10 of 1 per cent. Dur ing the month of December Mr. "Mac llae said 3,475 extra lamps hou:s. 17 per cent in excess of the contract was furnished, for which the eleclr.c com pany got nothing. It was admitted that for about ten days during the mon.h or Dtieenrjber the ga lightts were very bad. owing as Mr. MacRae expl lined, to an accident at the gas plant. He said the report of Alderman Hashagen for the month of January as to the gas lights was incorrect. The electric 1 f,'r.i he thought about the same as during December, very good. It was shown that during January here were 23,440 lamp 'hours, and that the number of lights reported out was 11. being about 2-10 of 1 per cent. During the past month Mr. McRae said 2.581 extra hours were furnished. 11 per cent in excess of contract. Mr. MacRae state.! t -a he thought Alderman Hashagen'e re port was due to a thorough misand r standing of the facts. If there was no more than 1 per cent of the lights out Mr. MacRae thought the company should be regarded as giving good Ser vice. Alderman Hashagen replied to Mr. MacRae and said that he had m other means of telling about the :i?h?" than the reports as made by the po licemen. He stated that he did not think the Electric Company waj allow ed as little as 1 per cent of the lights being out and he thought the company had to- forfeit a certain amount for each light that was out. He state 3 further that he thought part of thi complaint in regard to the gas lights being bad was noi due to the gas pres sure, but that many of the mantels were in bad condition. After Alderman Haahagen had concluded his remark? Mr. MacRae again addressed the board stating that he was wKling to pajj for any shortage in the number of sights that were out and that he wxvj'd ftlck to the agreement between the Electric Company and the city. He said his object in appearing be fore the board and making a statemen was to remove the impression that had been caused by former statement i WeaE Hearts Are due to Indigestion.
