A MsssilIOn woman got up the other
morning, and couldn't hnd her false
teeth IN the place where she was aCcus
toned to lay them on retiring, and came
to the conclusion that she had swal-
lowed them In her sleep. She felt very
much discouraged over the matter and
even worse, when her stomach, after
vain struggle to digest the extraordi-
nary meal was compelled to give 1t up
as bad Job, and gave nltlce Of the fact
by sundry pains and gripings, that
were ANYTHING but pleasant. She sent
for a doctor, who concluded that the
patent masticater had lodged In her
throat, and proceeded to pry 1t loose,
and 1t rolled down into her stomach,
from which, emetlcs, cathsrtics and
stomach pumps all failed to resurrect 1t,
and the unfortunate woman said her
"nOw l lay me-" and gave up to die.
Just about this time the hired girl came
in with the teeth, having found them
under the bed, where pet dog had been
playing with them all morning. The
Massilion woman is not sure which she
IA mahdaat at. tha dog or thn doctor.
