MR. BOWSER, HE
SORROWS
His Office Boy Meets With
a Fatal Accident.
By M. QUAD.
ItSl, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Mr. Bowser came home to dinner
with a look of sorrow on his face.
Mrs. Bowser noticed it the first
thing, but, thinking he had a slight
case of the colic, she did not say any
thing. At the dinner table, she like
wise noticed tliat he had tears in his
eyes at times, and she intended, wlien
the meal was finished, to recommend
some eye-water to him. When they
had retired to the sitting room and
Mr. Bowser had sat down and sighed
six or seven times, Mrs. Bowser kindly
Inquired:
“Dear, aren’t you feeling as well as
usual this evening?”
“No, I’m not,” was his reply, “I have
been through a strenuous day. What
I have seen today will forever cling to
my memory, even if I should live a
thousand years!”
“Then you have seen something?"
she asked.
“I liave, Mrs. Bowser—have stood
face to face with death and it was the
death of one very near to me.”
“Did the roof of your office fall in?”
“Don’t be silly. My office boy is
dead. One moment he was alive and
in biuuiding spirits; the next moment
he was a dead boy.”
“Why, that surely was a bad acci
dent,” said Mrs. Bowser. “You told
me, about a month ago, that you had
chiinsed your boys. Was this the new
boy?”
“It was. His name was Nero Pitz-
sinimons and he had been with me
just a month. The old l)oy, who had
l)een with nte about five years, became
dissati.stied with his wages. He turned
to painting. He got so he could paint
a pi.a: i)en and so he joined the paint
ers’ union. They went (m a strike a
few days ago for eight hours a day,
five days in a week, and s^even dollars
a day, and the boy shook hands with
me and departed. Yes, this was tiie
new b<iy. He was a good boy, as all
office l)oys are. He carried olt' my
Rold pen, carried off my postage
stamps, and picked up any loose
change lyinj; about, but he did so with
innocent intent. He believerl that
things were not evenl.v divided up. He
believed that he had a rijrlit to have
my property and so lie trie<l to acquire
it. I*oor Nero I Shall I ever find an
other like him?”
“But about his deatli?” qiieried Mrs.
Bo\\ser.
“Jly office is on ihe eighth tloor of a
skyscraper, yon know. There were
some men workinir on the sidewalk,
and Nt*r<) leaned out of the wiiirTow to
watch them. They saw him and asked
him some questi’ius. As near as I
cuuld make out, his answer was that
iliey mitriit go to the <U-vil. Nen» was a
bit emphatic; in his lan:ru:ige, but lie
(li<lu't mean anytbins l>y it. His heart
was as innocent as tiiat of a lioii. One
('f tlu; men threatened to pundi Xero’s
head, and the iniiucent i>oy loaned far
out of the window to make faces and
shake his fist. He leaned (oo far. I
w;is about to rei)rimand him wiieu he
fell. Alas, i)oor Nero fell to his death !
He struck on the men and then bound-

eyes, they stuck to it that I ought to

talked of suing me for fifty thousand
dollars’ damages.”
“Why, they nnist be a hard-hearted
family!” exclaimed Mrs. Bowser. |
“Yes. I should judge they were.
They had a dispute as to who should
pay the undertaker, and they had an
other as to which cemetery he should
be buried In. What seemed to them
to be the worst thing about it, was the
fact that they were all going to Coney
Island or some other place that eve-

ning. aiKl iiiy l>ringing home the body
of Nero knocked a hole in their pro

of the cotlin and when I replied that
for about a hundred dollars they c<nild
get one to fit Nero, they alnuKst came
to blows (‘ver it. It was their unani

was al! they (mght to pay. The.v
argued they were not to blame for
Nero's deatli. and. that If he was idiot
enough to take chances, any c>ld way
of getting him into the ground was
good enougii.”
“Wliat a family!” said ^Irs. Bowser.
“Yi's, I didn’t know there were any
i?uch iKMiple in this world. Poor Nero’s
body was waiting outside, and they
weri' figliting about his burial. When
thi‘y were not ‘jawing’ each other,
they were threatening me with a suit
for damages.”
“I'ut will there he any suit?”
“No, 1 think not. We elTected a

“Wliat sort of a coinpro’.iiise?”
