The St. Panl DISPATCH Of Saturday
tells Of member of the Legislature from
one of the rural districts having attended
a dance in one OF the St. Paul saloons,
where, having become tired, (the rest may
inferred,) he sat down in corner Of the
room and went to sleep. His companions
soon found him, and taking charge Of his
watch and poe! ct book for safe keeping.
left him to snooze it out. In short
time thereafter they we're startled by
loud noise in the direction of their frienf,
who vas standing up, yelling At the top
of his voice, "Give me my teeth. and keep
the watch and pocket book. For Gods
sake give me my teeth" His friends
tried to console him that his watch and
pocket book were safe; but he only cried
the louder, MY teeth. my teeth, where
in hi are my teeth! You can have all
the money you want if you will give me
them back" at the same time opening
wide his jaws and pointing to his toothless
mouth. The suppositien finally dawned
upon his friends that he had swallowed
his teeth, and he was last seen in the
hands of surgeon who was serving
vigorous writ Of ejectment upon the fel'
lows stomach.
