WANTED HER TEETH FILLED. A richly
dressed young lady, evidently of Spanish
extraction, entered dentists office in Vir-
ginia City, Nevada, a few days ago, and
wished the doctor good morning in very
broken English. 1t was with difficulty that
DR.. G. found out what she wanted, but at
last he learned that she desired her teeth
filled. She was seated in the operating
chair, and parting pair Of rich and tempt
ing lips, disclosed two rows of ivory white
and glistening teeth. Probes, punches,
hooks and files came into play, but mi
mute search failed to disclose even O
speck of decay. The doctor couldn't I'M
derstand it, and told her that she had no
tooth which required filling, and none to
be extracted. She couldn't understand
much English, and the doctor don't speak
Spanish, and so the conversation grew
lively by signs alone. Again did he search.
but with no better success. He began to
get excited. At last she rushed from the
office. In q few moments she returned
bringing a lady whose teeth glistened with
gold which the doctor had inserted and
then the doctor understood that she wished
him to bore holes in her teeth and fill them
with gold, so she too could be in fashion
OF course, the doctor declined the Job. and
she left, very indignant at his obstinacy

Boy on His Travels to the Land of Bic
pnns.c -

From the Council Bluffs NonpareiI.
On Wednesday a bright looking lad of
ten years of age called at our office and
asked the privilege of looking over the ex-
changes. We gave him permission, when
he drew chair up to the table. put his
feet on it, took out badly charred briar-
root pipe, fumbled down into the bottom
of his pocket for smoking tobacco. bor-
rowed from us match, and went to work
scanning the papers with the zeal, mo-
tions and grace of veteran editor,
smoking fiercely all the while. LAYING
down the papers, he inquired at what
time the next train left for the West. re-
marking that he would be much Obliged
by the information We answered his
question, and then asked him one. In
reply he said he was bound for San Fran
cisco. That he was from Scranton, Pa,
where he had last year driven trade as q
newsboy and boot black, and conceived the
idea of going farther West. He started
last June, travelling on foot and dead-head-
ing by rail until he reached Northern Hi
nois, about harvest time where he remain
ed for nearly a month with q farmer, help
ing to get off his crop by driving ma
chine. He was flush again, and started on
his tramp, striking across Iowa, partly by
rail-, DuI llOStly On loOt, Hnlll he reached
this place. The little fellow does not be-
long to the impertinent young America,
though he has some of its characteristics
There is no insolence in his behavior, though
he sometimes puts on the airs of older per-
sons in exhibiting some of their most
prominent vices. He has slept in all man
ner of places, sometimes in cowshed on
depot Platforms i'll lanes, in fam houses,
and wherever he could get shelter. He
speaks very highly of the hospitality o
Iowa farmers and Iowa landlords, but says
that he occasionally meets with curmud-
geon who denies him shelter but he has
nothing to complain of, for it is his bust
ness to get the place to sleep, and another's
to give it to him. He says that he has,
once or twice, been kicked out of railroad
offices, and several times been put off trains,
but they We're only temporary inconvenien-
ces. He hopes by hook or crook to reach
California before winter sets in. He is as
lively as a cricket Neither drinks nor
swears, and at the end of his journey will
be a hero.

L We had wandered for many
hours through tangled forests of Tropical
shrubs and trees, some of them emitting q
