A Case of Blackmail Clearly Established
in the Gas Bill, and the Water Office
Stigmatized—-^Jowser Gives Up in De
spair.
[Copyright, 1892, by Charles B. Lewis.]
“What’s this?” asked Mr. Bowser as he
entered the family sitting room after the
evening meal and picked up a piece of
paper lying on a stand.
“That?” queried Mrs. Bowser as she
glanced in hLs his direction. “Oh, that’s the
gas bill. It just came in this afternoon,
and I left it where you would be sure”
“What! What!” interrupted Mr. Bow
ser as he hurriedly got out his glasses to
read the figures. “Four dollars and a
halfl Mrs. Bowser, what on earth is the
meaning of this?” ,
“It means, I suppose, that we have
burned that much gas and are expected to
pay for it,” she quietly replied.
“WIIY, MRS. BOWSER, WHY?”
“Never! Never! I’ll see that gas cant
pany buried a thousand feet deep under
the burning sands of Sahara before I’ll
pay any such bill! It’s nothing less than
highway robbery — blackmail —extortion!
What did you say to the man who left it?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing! Didn’t you even protest
against such bold faced robbery in broad
daylightl”
“Certainly not. The bill is only fifty
cents higher than last month, and I’m sure
we have burned much more gas. I con
sider it very reasonable indeed.”
“Reasonable! Reasonable! It’s rank
robbery, and I’ll never pay it—never! This
is another specimen of the way you prac
tice domestic economy!”
Mrs. Bowser made no reply, but Mr.
Bowser walked around the room with his
hands crossed under his coat tails and his
neck growing cherry red with emotion.
Having got Btarted he was bound to follow
out that line, and after a minute he broke
out with:
“When I think of the awful extrava
gance and reckless waste going on in this
house it makes rne fairly shiver! It’s no
wonder I can’t got a dollar ahead to save
my hide!”
“The bill from the water office for the
present quarter is also there,” observed
Mrs. Bowser as she carelessly glanced over
the evening paper.
“It is, eh? Yes, here it is.. Great Scott
and seven graveyards, but here’s more
highway robbery! Three dollars for water
during tlie last quarter—three dollars!”
‘Yes, that’s the regular amount. Our
water tax has been three dollars per quar
ter for the last four years.”
“Never! Never! It’s never been over

wouldn’t question it.”
She entered the library and returned
r a . n ?, innte with six or seven water
bills. All were made out for the same
amount—three dollars. Mr. Bowserglanced
at them and saw he was floored, but it
would not do to admit it.
“And why is our water tax twelve dol-
larS a „f! ar ’, Mrs - Bow ser—twelve dollars
a year? he hoarsely demanded as he stood
before her and waved the gas bill in one
hand and the water bill in the other. “Be-

figures on-a wastage of mQ
“Another evidence that this house is ran
on the Hottentot system! Clothespins cost
money! Why aren’t they taken care of?”
“They cost a cent a dozen, Mr. Bowser.’
“No matter if yon could get a thousand
for a' cent! It iBu’t the cent we look at,
but what might .happen for the want of
one single clothespin. For the want of
this very pin you might lose one of my two
dollar shirts. And now what on earth is
the matter with that clock?”
It had stopped. He put in the key and
fonnd that it had not run down. He gave
the pendulum a push, but after a few un
certain motions it stopped agaiD.
“I presume the clock wants cleaning,”
explained Mrs. Bowser. “It has stopped
several times lately, and I was going to ask
you to have a jeweler send up for it.”
“Wants cleaning! That clock out of
order again! I’ve paid out over $10,000
within a year for repairs to that
clock, and here it has’stopped dead still
again! Did you haul off and bit it with a
sledge hammer, or did you tarn it upside
down and pour sand into it?”
“We’ve bad that clock seven yeajp, Mr.
Bowser, and this is the first time it has
ever had to”
“It’s no use, no use!” be exclaimed as he
fell upon the lounge with a great crash.
“It may be that 1 can keep from commit
ting suicide, but should I go crazy and
wipe out this family and burn the house
to the ground and kill about forty'firemen
and police and pass.the rest of my days as
A raving maniac the world will under
stand all about it—all about it, Mrs. Bow
ser.”
And after a dozen long drawn sighs and
a great dqpl of kicking around, with an oc
casional “humph!” to let her know that he
was still thinking the matter over, he fell
asleep, and Mrs. Bowser carefully tucked
him up with a baby blanket.
