Pulling . Tooth with a Door-Knob.

The rough sort of dentistry described
below has occasionally been practiced
as trick, with more or less success
but we have rarely heard ola patients
choosing the door knob method of his
own accord.
A rough, Western farmer came into
doctors Office to have n tooth extracted,
but hincbed at sight of the ''instru-
ments;" and again and again the doctor,
tried in vain to get gripper into his
mouth.
AT last, the Hoosier declared "that
ere new tangled thing to be no account"
and wanted to know if the doctor could
tie string around the tooth "for,"
said he, "that's the way | used to pull
'em out, an guess it's bettcr'n all yer
tangled fixtures.
The ,deutisr. to please him, said he
would try, and producing from drawer
fine strong piece of fish line, after a
great deal Of trouble, and yels of pain
from the Hooser, it was firmly secured
around the tooth The iIoosier then
proposed to fasten the string to the
door knob, which was accordingly done.
The back woodsmau then commenced
a series of easy jerks on the line, each
cf which was followed by yells of pain.
The doctor resumed his seat, and
smiled audibly behind his paper, occa-
sionally glancing toward the door, and
then turning quickly again to the paper
to hide behind it his mcrrimcnt.
Thus matters stood, until at last the
fire burned low, and the dentist arose to
rcplepish it. AS he threw in the wood,
and stirred the red hot Goals into n
blaze, brilliant idea seemed to strike
him for his face frightened onderfully
Arising from the floor, he left the poker
in the FIRE, and, seating himself, awaited
the change Of affairs.
The back woodsman had reIapsed into
dcsnondeucy. for melancholy express
sion had settled on his face. He stcadi
ly gazed downward, as if he were III

! Tha4dentist,. as I have ssia before, re
sumed his seat, but threw aside hi,
paper, and sat looking in,en;ly into the
fire, with an expression OF mcrrimcni
! playing on his features.
Thus he sat for some time At last
noise lessly rising ir"m his chair,
drew the poker, one end of which was
glowing with red heat, from the fire
lie suddenly brandshcd it in the air
and brought it rapidly towards the
aHoosier's nose. The backwoodsman
threw himself back with jerk. The
cord did not break nor the door. k oh
come out; but the tooth loosened from
it's roots, and bounded against the door
with click like bullet.

started out alone to capture the beast,

an climbing high hill, an animal,
which proved to be the wild cat, was
seen in the top of a live oak tree The
girl then took aim with her pistol aud
fired but missed the animal 4 sc coud

tumblcd from the tree A brief fight
then occurred between the dog and the
wild cat, " hen the latter got away and
ran down the hill. y pursuit was made
by the girl and two dogs-another one
having come up in the meantime
The wild cat was overtaken and finally
killed by the dogs aud with rocks thrown
by the girl. The victor seized her prize
carried it to the house, where, by that
time tho mother had returned with neigh
o eagar for lun'. On examining the
head of the Wild cat it was found that
the pistol ball entered his right eye and
ranging downward passed out at the
forcshouldcr. The animal weighed thirty
pounds and measured three feet and

LADY very naturally feels proud over her
