THE LOST TEETH.
THE MISSING DENTIST.
A TALE 'oF Bremen IN 1867.

Although the following circum-
stanceoccured some months ago, it
is still fresh in the minds of the
Bremeuites.
One day Il man in possession Of
some dental instruments and gold
leaf, arrived ut the hotel; and after
making the necessary arrange
ments, stuck bis shinglc on the
outside thereof. q.
Ofcourse he was dressed in his
best; no doubt knowing the weak,
ness Of the people in that way as
though a mans brains or character
were in his clothes.
He soon commenced fishing for
custom, and his bait was this
That he was one Of a large firm q
think fifteen were in that firm do
ing an extensive business in Chi
cago, or some other distant city.
He would draw teeth without
charge, take a cast of the mouth,
and send on 20 tho firm, when a
superior set of artificial teeth was
to be returned TO the victim, TO
supply the place of the lost old
ones, Not cent was to be paid
until tho teeth were received and
found satisfactory; and even then
the charge was TO be moderate.
Who could see any trick in the
bait Of this we'll dressed man?
Why they were even to hold the
almighty dollar until they had
tight hold of the arlifcials, plate
and all. '..4. f.. ... -...
The gulgcous began to bite, and
many a tooth left its home in the
socket. .. ..H
But it came to pass that this
man also flied teeth. And behold
how the gudgeons opened their
mouths and showed their teeth
while little bits of gold leaf were
stuck regardless of holes between
them. ..u
OF course Dentist charged fol
filing teeth, although he was no,
at all anxious about immediate
pay; but somehow or other ht
managed to get all that was owing
him, in about three days. .u
And it came TO pass on tho third
day, that Dentist pretended he had
to go through wood to a house
where he had to attend to some
ivory. .'. ..3 s...#
Aud 10 ! nothing more was seen
or heard of him. l.. .g.rt 4
Nothing but murder most foul
entered the imagination OF the dup
ed ones; but the knowing ones be
gan to wink and reckon up how
much Dentist had made, and found
he had made about thirty dollars
his board and lodging thrown in
as ho had forgotten to pay the lat
ter before be left. v3 o
The women wanted his body
searched for, IS they thought moth
ing but murder could account foI
his disappearance. . t.3.
But the men were contented tt
let matters rest as they were, anc
to this day there is wailing bu'
no gnashing of teeth in Bremen.
