He sat down to hold his jaw and
heave to and fro, and | said:
"Your tooth jumps. 1t hurts
you. You let your mind turn to
something else and the pain ceases
He looked up at me with the CLINT
Of pounded glass in his eyes and
was about to reply in kind, when
the jumper jumped in on him again
and he seized his jaw and yelled:
Great Scott to scotteration, but
I can't stand this! Get me some
camphor !"
| got him some, and after time
the pain eased up and he went to

easy, and could afford to give him
a little time. | was Just falling
asleep when Mr.. BoWser suddenly
lifted his feet high in the air and
uttered whoop which set a neigh
boris dog to barking followed by
the remark:
Thunder and lightning p
"Mr. Bowser, are you asleep?" l
asked.
Asleep! No! I'm dead Say,
this Internal thing has come back
on me! Where's that camphor?"
"On the bureau, dear, but it won't

"Pshaw, Mr.. Bowser, have some

around and finally disappeared
down stairs. He was gone about

the remedies he jumped up and
down in the middle of the room
and yelled fire p

stir up the fire and make a warm
pou!tlce for his jaw, and fuss around
for an hour, and he finally grew
easier. Then l said to him.
'You brought home book about

"Mr. Bowser, what cured your
toothache-faith, Imagination or

N-I-Who's talking about tooth
ache? Mrs. Bowser, you get into
bed and go to sleep, and in the
