**1 am a mined man!**
Mr. Itowser threw away hU newa^
paper and dlgar as he ••uttered the
wor<te. They were iqpoken«a8 solemply
as a young man speaks when he- asks
a girl to be his wife, and she tails
him to go to Texas.
Mrs. Bowser looked up, and turned
a shade, paler.
“Yes, I am a ruined man. and yon
are the cau^ of it !*’
“Do foxi mean that you have gone
Into bankruptcy?”
“NOy not exactly, but, nevertheless,
you have ruined me, financially.”
“Can’t you pay two cents on the
dollar?”
“It isn’t that, but you have ruined
me t)y ruining my prospects What am
I totlay? I am working my brains out,
and receiving only a small Income. All
the best years of my life have passed
away, and I have not taken advantage
9f the many golden opportunities held
imt to me. I have ^>een thinking
ihlngs all over, and I tell you, Mrs.
LJ«)\vser, I feel very bitter! If I have
to go into bankruptcy. It will be your
fault. If we bwome paupers no one
■ >ut you will be to blame!”
“I don’t know that I have done any-
. liing to prevent you from getting on,”
>lie said in a very calm voice.
“Oh, you don’t, eh! Weil, we will
,'0 over the case. Some years ago I
wanted to become an apple-grower.
1 got all tiie facts and figures and
')rought them to you. Apples were
hen on the rise, and have iieen ever
•iiioe. I saw a chance to become a
'iiillionaire. I wanted to get a tliou-
■iiind acres of land and set out 10,000
ipple trees. Each tree would have
yielded iiu?- ten bushels of fruit, and I
vould thus have had 10,00<>,000 bush-
•Is to sell. I was all ready to go into
;t—wlien—when—”
“When I figured It out,” interrupted
drs. Bowser. “1 figured that you
liKin't a tenth of the money to buy the
'tiial with. You hadn’t the tenth of
lie <‘u.-?h to buy the trees with. You
■iiuliJn't have paid the uieu for setting
him out. It was simply a wild dream
>f yours.”
•‘.\ever mind the wiki dream!” said
Ur. Kowser, witli a wave of liis hand.
•>\'lirit you term a bad droarii may turn
lut a [xolden dream. I wanted to go
into poach brandy. It had just been
liscovered, and was taiveii up every-
vhere. Whisky, gin, rum, l)t>er and
■ill otlio;- drinks were way to
jit'afh l)randy. E\-en tlie Pre.^iuent of
!ie Uiiiteil States ict-pt his Ix'ttie. , My
(ini was to get a forner on the peaoh
•nip of the United ynitrs l(n- fivp
years. There would be iiil!i;nns cC
.'r>l'.''is. Tliere would be millions of
i r.rrels t)f peach brandy. I w(juid j)ut

would have come in to share my lame,
but no—no—no! You must get o-,it
pencil and pai>er and do some figur
ing! By that figuring you cost iwe
ndilions!”
“Yes, I remember,” answered Mrs.
Bowser. “You had about $5,000 at the

“Mr. Bows^, what you always
lacked was capital. Tou had no money
to buy. hogs nor to handle the meat,
and yon were going into the schen^e
without any experience. I advised
you not to do it, and again you got
mad and left the house. I think I
saved your bacon, tf you didn’t go
into bacon.”
"Never mind my bacon, Mrs. Bow
ser ! ‘ But for you I would be able to
buy out half this town now, and it
must be a great satisfaction to you
t» ki^ow it We will take another

time. You had need of about $5,000,>
000. I simply asked you wh^e you
were going to get the money from,
and you got mad and v.ant out for a
walk."
“Never mind the madness nor the
money, Mrs. Bowser' I am sure I
could have pushed t: rough in some
way, and been revel i<. r in my gold at
this moment. Othe? len have raised
$5,000,000, and why .shouldn’t I? And
there was the potato case: Potatoes
were high nTf'd going higher. It need
ed no figtM o to show that they would
come to $ ' :> biu^. Potatoes could
be raised Hr cents a bushel and, by
selling at $3 a bushel, why, e man
cou! <i(ve arranged to raise 8,000,000
bushels a year, and that would have
given me a dean profit of over $7,000,-
000. Didn*t you st<9 me from going
Into this schemer* *
“Why,** answered BIrs. Bowser, “I
figured that you couldn’t raise 90 bush
els a year. You had no land, you see.
You had no capital to use. As a mat
er of feet, petatoes arev cheaper
n.)w than they were then. Men have
bought that they ^ Could make dia-

for cucumber pickles to send to the
soldiers. I wanted to get 5,000 acres
of land and plant it all in cucumbers.
I would thus raise enough to sell to
the government at least ten carloads
of cucumbers. The government would
buy and piciile them. Tliey would
have paid me millions of dollars.
I had everything worked out, even to
the last cucumber, but I met your op-
positioa again. You began figuring
on the cost of the seeds, the land, the
cultivation, the gathering and, selling,
and you made out that 1 would los^
about $10,000. What was the result,
jruilty woman! AVliy, cucumber pickles
sold for a quarter apiece, and the
government couldn’t get enough of
them at that priice. Every soldier
vvHnted his pickle, morning, noon and
nijcht, and some of them i>ositively re
fused to fight without a pickle in their
pockets. Ah, but how can you sit there
so calm and cool, when you have
worked such black ruin!”
“You can thank me that you are not
in the poorliouse,” quietly observed
Mrs. Bowser.
“Never mind the poorhou.«e, but
listen to me! There is just one
chance of my v recouping myself—just
one chance. If you prevent me from
taking this chance, nothing will be left
to meAut suicide. Mrs. Bowser, do
.you krrow that horseradish is selling
at 2~} cents a bottle, when it used
to sell at five? All the doctors In
the coimtry are recommending it. It
is found the greatest cure for many
ailments. I want' to make horse
radish troches. I want to make them
by the billion. I want to flood the
whole world with them. The profit is
200 per cent. Now, then, are you go-
in? to oppose me?”
Mrs. Bowser could contain herself
no longer. Her laugh was almost hys
terical. Mr. Bowser looked at her and
gave up all hopes. He heard her
laughter and knew he was ruined lor*
ever. He left the house to suicide, t:ut,
np to date, his body has ^t been
found dangling from the limb of a
soft maple shade tree.
Oils From Petroleum.
Benzoline, kerosene or coal oil, and
petrol or gasoline, are obtained from
petroleum by a process similar in
principle to that employed to obtain
alcohol from the fermented grain
mash. The crude petroleum Is brought
to a certain tem^rature, which caus
es its llghtCT and more volatile parts
to be driven off in the form of vapor,
which, being collected and allowed to
condense, becomes those lighter oils
of which gasoline Is one, and which
made possible the engine that drives
airplanes, automobiles, tractors and
threshing machines.
Famous Violin Maker. ^
Joseph Guamieri was a member of
a family of celebrated, violin makers In
Cremona, Italy. He was active in
his work from 1690 to 1730. His' violins
are usually partly identified by a stain
or sapmark in the belly running paral
lel with the finger board on either
side. They were noted for their t<me-
produclng powers, a fact whidi has
stimulated the s^e of spurious Tfadixis
with his forged toscriptioc.
