FACIAL NEURALGIA.
Tho victinn an Object of Sincere
and Hearth ending Pity.

from the Evansville August
It looks as if it was mighty nice to
be able to sit by a nice fire for q week
or so with nothing to do, but we had
rather maui rails than do it.. It's nice,
very nice, to sit tilted back in front of
. fire, with plenty of cigars and a lot OF
exchanges, a novel Or so and a pair OF
slippers. Oh, yes, it looks very nice,
indeed-to the man who is not sitting
there. With his throat wrapped up In
an army blanket, a big towel tied
around his head, a bottle of Eminent In
one hand, his temples held in the other
and q wad of cotton saturated with
lsudanumand jamad down onto . row
of aching teeth, he is an object of the
most sincere and, heart-rendsring pity.
He takes up a novel, and just as he gets
to where the loving maiden says:
"Yes, darling they may say that you
are poor, but I love you for your true
worth; be patient, dearest; twill be
but q few brief hours till / will see you
in -" Tophet! (this last word is used
by the man sitting by the fire, and
whose worst jaw tooth has suddenly
walked up and gone into business at
the old stand.) Down gees the book
and the sufferer jumps into the center
of the floor aud. executes q few steps
that a Highland fling girl in 3 variety
show might be proud of. In PUSHES
the faithful little wife, and for a few
minutes the odor of laudanum and hot
towels fills the room. Then the chad"
tooth goes to sleep for a while and the
sufferer gets back into the easy chair
and takes up the book again. But it
don't interest him. He has suffered so
that the drops of agony still stand on
his forehead and he don't care whether
the hero meets the heroine all right, OF
whether the old man puts . load of
duck shot into him just rs he (the hero)
has reached the lattice and is whisper
ing, "Flee with me, my own."' About
that time the little wife comes up with
ga nice dinner for papa" and papa's
eyes glisten as he sees the neat tray
with its cup of steaming coffee. He
gathers it fondly onto his lap and takes
first a sip of coffee, but alas! the "bad'
tooth aud four others of its brethren on
the upper jaw decide they don't like
| coffee and rise up on their hind legs
and howl. The sick man howls,. too,
and by the time this little matinee is
over, he feels as if he didn't want to
eat anything for the next ten years.
Then after dinner (the dinner he didn't
