For want of space i'll our advertis-

the above in the local column this
week. Joe pulled his first tooth a
few days since; his aspirations had
been confined for long time. and all
the time had been expanding within
him, when, by chance, lie got lis eye
on an unprotected man named Martin
Donohue, and was determined 10 vent
the vile aspirations Of his great hobby
upon him. He followed Martin for a
number Of days, determined to pull
that tooth or bust. Finally he got
Martin seated in Mr.. Politics. back
office, and was about to perform the
"bloody deed" when Martin happen
ed 10 think of something he had never
thought OF before, and made grand
rush for the door; but Joe was too
many for Martin. Pull that tooth he
would at all hazards, so Martin was
brought back to the seat of torment,
as the sheep is brought to the slaught-
er, and once more seated, and, at the
mercy of this undegenerated knight

ing conversation took place.
Martin You'll hurt me-"
Joe mo ! won't either. That
tooth will kill you if it remains in
your head long, you are one of my
best customers, and / don't want to
lose YOU" Then Joe commenced the
operation, and just as he got the in
strument on the tooth, Martin asked
if he supposed he could pull it, when
Joe an4wereth and saith unto Martin
IN pull that tooth, or I'll pull yonr
whole heal tf," AID with that he
wrencheI on the tooth, and the tootl
being as unable to withstand the per.
suadings of Joe, as Martin had been,
yielded to his earnest solicitations and
came forth. After the tooth was out

out and when told that it was, re-

that he would give him the mex
