MixED SETS OF TEETH.
The Luslicrous Mistake Made by
Klein and TObriner.

Klein and TOl,rincr.
On Sunday last Jake Klein, the
brewer, took dinner with his old
friend Jake Tobriner, the wholesale
cigar dealer.
After dinner they were enjoying
a quiet smoke when Mr. Klein
drew from his pocket,a set OF upper
front teeth, and asked Tobriner
what he thought of the workman
ship.
Tobriner said that it was an ex-
cellent piece of work, but he had a
pair just as good, and going to a
drawer in the Secretary, produced
a set, (also upper 'front.' which ne
seemed very proud of.
You don't yare 'em much, :"
said Klein.
"No, not much. [ used to wear
'em about once a month, when |
first cot 'em Of DIR. Greenlaw, and
now I only put 'em on when l go to
Masonic hanquets and Fourth OF
July celebrations. Pretty fine
work around the edges, eh, Jake !?
Il t'ink my teeth set better IN
the jaw. eh d? and little more regu-
lar. | wash pretty veil satisfied nit
nv Job too. don't ware EN- much,
looks like putin on sthyie. Blu: l
find 'em pretty handy to have IN my
pocket anyhow. DR.. Southworth
fixed 'em few weeks ago.
The two men commented on the
rapid strides Of the dental art, and
Dragged about their teeth for some
time, and presently they got the
two sets mixed. Klein put Tobrin-
er's teeth in his pocket and Tobrin-
er nut Klein's teeth in his left
hand Secretary drawer.
Next day Klein thought he
would wear his teeth for awhile,
going down the fashionable prone
made OF Main street, but when he
got them into his mouth, they
made his upper lip bulge out as If
somebody had tried to lick him
and got in few. They didn't tit
very we'll at the corners either, and
SO he went home and with a three
cornered file rasped the edges down
and lessened the thickness in front.
Still they did not fit worth cent
and kept falling out, until finally
in disgust, he walked up to DIR.
Southworth's Office, and coming in
with the teeth in his hand, began
to berate the doctor.
"Look here, Doc. Perhaps you
take me for a tam Chinanan. Desc
teeth don't fit. Ply gimminy l cant
make 'em stay in, l fled 'em down
and scraped der corner off and still
they don't fit worth tam. l guess
you take the plasted teeth and gifts
me nv money pack.
The doctor examined the teeth
| and assured Klein that he had
| never made them. as they didn't
have his trade mark on.
"Gimminy criminy, Doc. don'd
blay Jake Klein for sucker, didn''
I come here and get dose teeth ano
bay you der money for EN-. not two
weeks ago.
"You did not, said the doctor
coolly.
This staggered Klein, and throw
ing the teeth on the floor, he wen
out filing the entire length of KIM
street with Teutonic profanity
Presently he ran against Tobrine
who had been through just such
scene In DR.. Greenlaw's office, ant
the two poured out their grievance
to each other. They finally decide'
to each bring lawsuit for $1,000
damages, and started out to hun
legal advice.
When Tobriner went home an
announced to his wife that he ha
hired Gen. Clarke to bring a sui
for damages, and explained tn
reason she burst into hilarious +
Of laughter.
It appears that Mrs Tobriner ha
been cognizant Of the exchange
teeth but had kept quiet, in ordt
to see the fun. Tobriner the
started out to hunt Klein, who W;
|, still hunting a lawyer, and in fe
minutes made the matter plal'
much to the relief of the latte
who was getting madden every mil
