the other. 81 don't like to be cuffei. .
"You don't, ehln and then followed q
harder one on the other cheek, and the
young man, who up to that time had quite a
fancy for himself as an amateur sparrer

THE ACHING TOOTH.
An Adversary That Lays Low the Weak
as Well as the Heroic.


Well the Heroic.
The tooth that means to come out has
conquered all men and all women, remarks
the Pittsburgh Chronicle. 1t has been
soothed and coaxed. 1t has been held near
fires until the cheek abutting it was nearly
roasted. 1t has been chloroformed. 1t has
been fed on essence of juniper and essence
of peppermint and essence of cloves. 1t has
been filled. Its nerve has been killed. Its
miserable owner has been immured from
fresh air like prisoner.
This tooth sometimes sleeps but it never
forgets. 1t is most treacherous when it
seems tranquil. 1t ulcerates at the roots
when it's possessor IS about to lndite poem,
take journey or get married. 1t longs for
release and hungers for the forceps. 1t may
seem to compromise, but 1t merely bides its
time Its favorite recreation hour is just
after midnight, when druggists and dentists
have retired. If the ground is covered with
snow and the winds piercing, it is fairly
diabolical with activity.

Tell the dentist to pull your head off and
