An Oil City man was standing in
front of dentists office with an anx-
ious, unhappy look III his eyes and two
yards of flannel round his lower jaw
He cast sorrowful glsnces upward to
the dentists s,En, ard in a hesitating
sort of way placed his foot on the
lower stair; then he came cut to the
street again, as if he had forgotten
something. Colonel Solon came along
at this moment, and with thoughtful
interest in the man 5 welfare, said:
''!Toothache, Ell Gein' to have it
pulled? Ever had tooth pulled! No?
Well, you'd better 90 right up before
Your courage fails you. Worst thing
in the world is pullin' a tooth. I've
been through the war. had both lungs
shot away, fifeeeE bullets in my head,
and tie DOCTORS run a probe through
a hole in nly shoulder right down
my body to my toe-thought 'twould
kill me: but, man alive, 1 never knew
what pain was till | had a tooth pulled.
Maybe you think The toothache is hor
rible. 1t is-it's awful, But Wal TIL
the dentist runs his iron tongs in your
mouth, pulls the tooth right down
through your law-bone, and tlIen yanks
away as if he was pullin' on an old en-
gine, an yer'H think the teothache amt
no more to be com pared TO it than a
fea-bit is to a railroad accident. Yer
had better go right straight up, though,
and have it out. Don't let anything
I've said cause yer to back out, l jist
wanted to prepare yer mind for it. An
don't yer take ether. ! knew man
oncet about yer complexion an build,
who took ether. an he died. It's
dangerous. .Jst 60 qght up an have 1t
out. I'll 90 up with yer, an see how
yer stan it when he begins twisting the
bones round. Yer won't sleep wink
tonight if yer don't have it out; an
maybe yer won anyhow, for sometimes
the tooth breaks the Jaw, infammatery
rheumatism strikes the what's-its- name
nerve, an the what 's-yer-call sets in.
Just at this moment young man
practicing on French hern in one of
the upper rooms blew a long, ear pierre
ing blast, like the yell ef man ia
torment, and as the last sound echoed
through the hall, the Coloncl said:
That's it there's some ono getting a
tooth pulled now, snd the dentist hasn't
any more than jist given the FIRST twist
either Come right up and have yours
yanked. Whoop there he goes again"
as another terrible blast from the horn
came down from the rooms above.
Hold on, hold ON therel !" yelled the
Colonel; but he wasn't quick enough to
stop the man with the aching tooth,
who rushed out of the doorway and
down the street so fast that his two
yards of flannel became unwound and
streamed behind him like signals of
danger, while the villaineus old Colonel
sat down on the lower step and laughed
nntil his eyes ached. --OG city DerricG.

TWILIGHTS HOUR.

THE sunlight On waveless sea.
In sOftened radiance fadeth slowly.
The folded flower, the mist-erowned tree.
Proclaim the gathering twilight holy.
1t Is the hour when Passion bows:
"A solemn stiffness round US fingers
And On our wildly -throbbing brows
We feel the touch of angel fingers.
It is the hour when lovers fond
For Love its native air is breathinp)
Drape with fair hopes Lies drear beyond,
Gay garlands for the future wreathing.
1t Is the hour when in far land,
The wanderer. tired of ceaseless roaming,
Longs for The clasp of kindred hand,
And the dear home enwrapt in cleaning.
1t Is the hour when mankind hears
Amid Earth s mingled means and iau ghter
chords which will swell when unborn years
Are buried in the great Hereafter.

paused in her sewing.
Yes, you. Your life is very precious

accident takes place. can swim like

she replied. s'There is always some
hero around to rescue lady"
"No one wants to depend on heroes.
Of course, I'd jump into the water to
save lady, but there are lots of men
who wouldn't. Stand up, Amanda. and
let me give you the motions of swim

push them forward so, take a sweep and
bring them back so. See how easy it's
donep You mustn't forget to kick ev-

Mark Twain's Account Of the &C Chan.
ois."

WE left the train for Switzerland, and
reached Lucerne about ten O'Clock at
night. The first discovery made was
that the beauty of the lake had not been
exaggerated. Within q day or two
made another discovery. This was that
the Landed chamois is not Q wild goat;
that it is not horned animal; that 1t Is
not shy; that it does not avoid human
society; and that there Is no peril In
hunting it. The channels is black or
brown creature, no bigger than q mus
tard seed. You do not have to 60 after
it; it comes after you. It arrives In
vast herds, and skips and scampers all
over your body, inside your clothes.
Thus it is not shy, but extremely socia-
BILE. 1t is not afraid of man; on the
contrary it will attack him. Its bite Is
not dangerous, but neither Is IL pleas
ant. Its activity has not been over
stated. II you try to put your finger on
it, it will skip a thousand times its own
length at one jump, and no eye is sharp
enough to see where it lights. A great
deal of romantic nonsense has been
written about the Swiss channels and
the perils of hunting it, whereas the truth
is that even women and children hunt
it, and fearlessly. Indeed. everybody
hunts it. The hunting Is going on all
the time, day and night, in bed and out
of it. 1t is poetic foolishness to hunt IL
with q gun. Very few people do that.
There is not one man in q million who
can hit it with gun. It Is much easier
to catch it than Il Il to shoot IL, and
only the experienced channels hunter
can do either. Another common piece
of exaggeration Is that about
the scarcity of the channels. Il
is the reverse of scarce. Droves
of 1OO,OOO,OOO chamois are not
unusual in the Swiss hotels. Indeed
they are so numerous as TO be great
pest. The romancers always dress up
the channels hunter in fanciful and pict-
uresque costume, whereas the best way
to hunt this game Is to do It without
any costume ut all.
The article of commerce called cham
OILS skin is another fraud. Nobody
could skin chamois. IL il too small.
The creature is q humbug in every way,
and every thing which has been written
about it Is sentimental exaggeration. It
was no pleasure to me to find the cham
DIS out, for he had been one of my pet
illusions. All my life it had been my
dream to see him in his native wilds
some day, and engage in the adventur-
Gus sport of chasing him frem cliff to
cliff. 1t is no pleasure to me TO expose
him now, and destroy the readers de-
light in him and respect for him, but
still it must be done, for when an hon
est writer discovers an imposition 1t Ii
his simple duty to strip 1t bare and hurl
it down from its place of honor, no mat
ter who suffers by it. Any other course
would render him unworthy Of the pub
lie confidence" A Tramp abroad"

On arrival at Alden, five days later.
before our anchor was down, We were
hailed by boat which had been dis
patched from the Peninsular and Orien-
tai Office, and asked II we had any news
of the Carnatic, that ship being day
overdue. We had no news to give; but
our dreamer quietly remarked to me,
You may find that there is more to my
dream than you supposed"
A few hours completed our coaling,
and we were OF again for Bombay. On
arrival at that port we heard the news
of the loss of the Carnatic, and the cir
cumstances were Just IS narrated to M
two weeks before. The ship struck on
q rock near Shaduan Island, some twelve
hours after leaving Suez. The passen-
gers and crew were landed on the Island !;
the steamer subsequently slid on the
rock, and went down in deep water.
During the night steamers lights were
seen by the shipwrecked crew, and .
boat was sent out to intercept her. Our
dreamer's friend Morton went In the
first boat; the remainder Of the people
were subsequently taken on board, and
the rescuing steamer proceeded on her
voyage to Suez. Except that another
steamer, not the Neera, rescued the
party, the dreamer told the story rs we'll
as it could be told to-day.
1t seems probable that our dreamer's
vision was shown him at the very mo-
ment the shipwrecked people were en-
barking upon the steamer which came
to their aid, and that the Neera was not
ten miles from the scene at the time.

with picnic party found herself in an
unpleasant predicament. The party
reached the springs and were enjoying
themselves slipping the waters, ETC.,
when friend of the lady in question
discovered a remarkable change COM
ing over the features of her companion.
Her face began to assume q notified APP
pearance, black and white alternating.
She was asked IL she was sick, and re-
piled in the negative, but her face be-
came so discolored that her friends in
sisted on sending for physician, who,
on arriving and examining his supposed
patient, smiled and asked her what kind
of paint she used. The lady tartly re-
piled that she did not paint, but only
used q powder similar to that used by
her daughter, who was present and
whose face was blooming. The physician
attributed the discoloration TO the pow
der, and it is supposed that it contained
some chemical that changed color on
contact with the sulphurus vapor from
the spring. Union.
