BOWSER WINS
AGAIN
And Again Hs Lowers
Mrs. Bowser’s Colors.
OOCOOGGOO
((£), 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
"Mrs. Bowser,” begun Mr. Bowser
the other evening, "this afternoon I
have known, for the tirst uinie in my
life, what gigantic enjoyir'nt anil stu
I>einlous [Measure meant."
"That is,” she replied, alter a long
look at him, “you have been looking
over the dictionary and remembering
all the hard words you could."
“My dear, i am talking just its 1
always talk, and don’t you get up any
riot about it. I have, this afternoon,
been taking a ride on a motorboat.”
“So you have got around to that,
have you?"
“1 have, madam. A friend of mine
who owns u motorboat invited me to
go with 1dm on a trip, ami he permit
ted me to have the whole management
of the boat.”
"And it didn’t dive to the bottom, or
try to jump over the sun?’’ queried
Mrs. Bowser with a smile.
“it went along Just as easy us a
rocking chair, and nothing whatever
happened. It took me less than two
minutes to get the hung of the thing,
and my friend said lie never saw a
boat better managed. Tomorrow I am
to go tisliing in her with a couple of
friends and I shall have unalloyed
pleasure and unexampled recreation.”
"1 don’t see why you go fishing, Mr.
Bowser. You never caught a fish iu
your life, and you always get almost
drowned.”
"I have caught barrels and barrels
of fish!” roared Mr. Bowser, "and I
never even fell into (he water. I shall
go tomorrow, and I will bring back
such a string of fish as will make your
eyes bulge out! Besides the fishing,
there will be the amusement of run
ning the boat. All In all, I will puss
such a day as lias not come to me for
years.”
"Very well, Mr. Bowser. 1 will go
down to the store the first thing in the
morning and order my mourning. I
will also stop and consult with the un
dertaker."
Mr. Bowser, Instead of getting an
gry, smiled in pity and announced that
it was useless to argue the matter. It
was, consequently, dropped, but the
cook was ordered to have breakfast
half an hour earlier than usual.
Next morning Mr. Bowser set out
with two friends in search of the un
alloyed. That is, they did not set out at
. once. They took their seats In the
boat and it was ordered to go ahead.
It did not go. It remained at the
1 wharf like a schooling' sulking.
“What In thunder alls your old
boat?” chorused the friends.
“Nothing ’tall, gentlemen," replied
I Mr. Bowser, who was not worried In
“I Have Caught Barrels and Barrels
of Fish.”
tlie least. “She's only waiting to get
a gooil start.”
By and why the boat got one. She
went right away at twenty miles an
hour anti just missed n craft coming
up the river by a foot or two.
“Say, old man, If you are going to
run the boat this way we want to get
right out 1” exclaimed the friends.
“Calm yourselves, gentlemen—calm I
yourselves. I Just wanted to scare
that vessel a little. You see, I have
the boat under perfect control, and
there Is not any more danger than
there would he lu wnlking up fifth
avenue. You can get your flsli lines
ready."
The boat went along for a quarter ;
of a mile as steady as an old horse,
and she whirled half around and made
for the other shore. The friends
jelled at Mr. Bowser and got ready to
leap overboard, hut after half a min
ute Mr. Bowser regained his control
and said: t
“Easy, gentlemen, my nand slipped
a little, but It will not occur ugain. If
there was any danger 1 would not have
Invited you. I will now throw over my
shark line hook and we may capture a
monster.”
The hook nnd line were thrown over
board and dragged behind the boat,
which was on Its good behavior. Of a
sudden there was a Jerk and a stop
page, and Mr. Bowser quietly said:
"Gentlemen, we have got a shark at
least fifteen feet long, and our day’s
pleasure has begun. Y’ou two men
' haul in the monster, and I will see to
the boat.”
The men hauled, but they could
BMke no progress. The boat waa try
lug to go ahead, l>ut she could not
move. After repeated efforts one of
the men said:
“Say, old man, do you know what
your shark Is? It’s a wreck or a log,
and the ho !t has got a fast hold of It.
You will h..v, t i cut the rope.”
The rope was cut and the boat pro
ceeded on its way. Nothing occurred
in the next naif .tour, except getting
on shore twice and on sand banks
three times. There was a schooner
loaded with brtclcs coming up the riv
er, and Mr. Bowser ran ills boat very
close to her to ask the price of bricks.
The captain threw one of the missiles
at him and called him the biggest
fool on the river. Then a catboat,
which was sailing peacefully along,
and fearing neither man nor bt■*?.'»„ got
a bump from the motorboar .’he
owner of the cat said he ■.! meet

but he was untroubled.
The boat finally reached what Mr.
Bowser believed was good fishing
“One of the Men Fell Overboard."
grounds, and was stopped and the an
chor thrown overboard.
“Gentlemen, If It pleases you,” ob
served Mr. Bowser, “we will do some
gigantic fishing here.”
It didn't please them. They wanted
to swim ashore or have the coastguard
take them ashore, but when Mr. Bow
ser had caught his first fish they also
east in their lines. It simply was good
fishing. The fish were running strong,
and they were to be caught at the
rate of three a minute. In hauling In
a big one, one of the men fell over
board, hut he was rescued, and the
"unalold” went on. Mr. Bowser’s boat
was anchored in the middle of the
channel, and during the throe hours
there five or six steamships passed up
and down. They whistled for the mo
torboat to get out of the way, but she
did not move. Mr. Bowser said It was
for them to turn out, and they had to.
Many an epithet was hurled at the mo
torboat, but she did not seem to care.
She did not seem to care when lumps
of coal followed the epithets. A tug,
racing along, kicked up such a sea
that a barrel or two of water came
into the boat, but all the occupants
had to do was to elevate their feet.
Mr. Bowser and his friends fished
for three hours. Then they counted
up. They had 70 fish of good
size. The other men told Mr. Bowser
that if he would start the boat for
home they would give him their share
of the fish. He agreed to tills and, by
sheer good luck, he got the boat started
and headed in the right direction. The
trip up the river was made without ac
cident, but It was by the grace of
Providence that she did not run ipto
seven or eight crafts or go ashore to
pick blackberries. The boat w»i
scarcely tied up at the shore before
Mr. Bowser was on the run for a
telegraph office for a dispatch to Mra.
Bowser.
“Greatest success on earth. Most a
hundred fish. Get rendy to beg my
pardon and take it all back.”
When a wagon drove up two hours
later loaded with fish, Mrs. Bowser
took It all back. She had to! He had
escaped with ids life und caught a
barrel of fish, and she went creeping
about like a child that lias been pun
ished.
