system or the wrenching apart of his
anatomy. Under the new system the
operator usually succeeds in escaping
without broken bones, and he has the
advantage of being able to secure the
patients head in such a position that
when molar is found whose roots are
SO strong as to resist separation from
their resting place a windlass may
be attached thereto and an extraction
made, even at the risk of bringing the
jawbone along too. Moreover, with the
patient thus secured, the dentist, While
fitting in new set of teeth, is enabled,
without risk to himself, to hammer the
inside of his customers mouth into
shape and to rivet the new teeth into
position. thus avoiding troublesome de-
lay. Gas is now used, too, so that the
victim of the licensed torturer may be
made insensible to pain. 1t is called
laughing gas, probably because the
operator is the only man who gets a
laugh out of it. Sometimes the laugh
ing gas kills the patient, which, of
course. is no laughing matter for either
party. But, in all such cases, the
dentist charges the family for the gas
used and probably threatens suit for
damages sustained by the mans dying
on the premises. getting a neat little
sum in settlement, when, of course, the
dentist has little laugh all by himself.
He is the only man who ever gets q
laugh out of the business, in addition to
the money, without pain. The patient
gets all the payin' and-soup. He can
never eat anything else after visit to
the dentist.

such prominent one, great advance
ment has been made in the prosecution
of it. In the first illustration the artist
has attempted to illustrate the old
system of extracting the obstreperous
mischief maker. AS will be seen, even
at glance. the old style had none of
the refinement of torture which now
obtains among the men who make
money out of the misfortuneS of others.
The position is not graceful one nor at
all in conformity with dignified bear
ing. The face of the operator wears an
earnest expression, but it is the earnest
ness of the sandDagger rather than of
the more skillful stranger. Then too,
under the old system, the patient,
by his healthy demonstrations, was
wont to wear holes in the
carpet and occasionally to damage the
exterior of the operators physiognomy.
For cogent reasons. therefore, this old
style has given way before the advance
ment of civilization. The man who
wants his teeth extracted or filled now

succeeded in capturing dozen or more
of the boys, and couple of hours spent
in the lookup and sound lecture from
Judge Emery had the desired effect.
Now the boys all wear bathing suits.
Perhaps they are eff an abbreviated
character, but they are bathing suits
all the same and grant the lads immu-
nifty from arrest.
Some of the lads are expert swimmers
and they are as graceful in the water as
the proverbial French dancing master
is supposed to be on ballroom floor.
To them the rapidly moving current,
as it hurries on towards the falls, has
no terror, and they sport around in it
with apparently no more fear of serious
results than they would have in walk
ing along Nicollet avenue. The boys
who can swim well are to certain ex-
tent philanthropic in their nature, for
the boy who has not yet learned TO
swim will have no trouble in that
crowd in finding a competent in
structor, provided he has the necessary
pluck and does not mind being sudden-
ly forced under by one of his COM
panions diving beneath him and push

course, the swimmer likes it, but the
beginner generally fails to appreciate
the joke, and sometimes he offers to
fight. Then he gets into trouble. for
every boy who can swim takes especial
delight in ducking the lad of pugilistic
propensities. While he may be able to
thrash every one of his companions and
not half try when on shore, he finds out
that in the water he is at the mercy of
the smallest lad in the crowd, who can,
with few strokes, get out of the way
of welI-intepded blow, and retaliate
by coming up back of him and, with a
slight push, send him under, filling his
open mouth with water and make his
ears ring with the sudden and unex-
pected immersion. In a little while,
perhaps the second or third time he
goes into the water, he discovers that a
few struggles on his part will enable
him to keep afloat. He does not mind
the duckings as much as he did, and, in
fact, rather enjoys it, and, perhaps he
will stick his head under water of his

will take steps to gather statistics show
ing what percentage of crime is due to
bad teeth. It is believed that, should
the anti-prohibitionists collect such in
formation they would be apt to prove
that a goodly portion of the crime now
attributed to intemperance is. in real
ity, but the result of bad teeth. There
is no doubt but that many murders
have been committed because a man,
who had his face swathed in flannel,
saturated with pain killer, and his feat
ures screwed out of shape with the
excruciating, torture of aching teeth,
has been asked: "DOes it hurt?"
Many so-called wife-beaters have un-
doubtedly become so on account of hav-
ing been treated for collie when he
should have received some remedy for
jumping tooth. Suicide is another re-
suit of bad teeth. All of these ills come
upon man with a second set OF teeth,
and it is not until he has secured the
third set from some Nicollet avenue
jawsmithing establishment that they
knows what comfort is. Then he can
take his teeth out when he has no i'm

play with them. Of course there are

They Operated a "Horse Race
Police Court Notes.
G. W. Tucker and Charles Martin,
the men arrested by Capt. Helm and
Sergeant Volk night before last for run
ming gambling device at 407 Washing
ton avenue south, were arraigned yes
terday morning. Their pail was fixed
at 500 and they will be tried the oath.
The machine which they operated is
known as "miniature horse race" 1t
is similar in operation to the ''horse
race" machines found in saloons, al
though constructed OH larger scale.
1t is reputed to be under the control
of the operator entirely, 'sure
thing" game in other words. Arthur
Howard, a porter at the Hotel Lafay-
cite, Minnetonka, shot off pistol in
the Columbia pool room, and went to the
workhouse for thirty days. He seemed
to have been driven insane over bet
ting. Nine ''vags" were sent to the
workhouse yesterday morning for thirty
days each. They are believed to be
members of Chicago gang of burglars
who were waiting for a chance to get in
their work. Five "drunks" went up
for ten days each, one of them being a
woman, Johanna Anderson. Edwin
Pagette and Henry La Grange were
ordered to clean up their lots or 60 to
the workhouse for ten days each.

own accord. After this he will have
but little trouble. The lads who can
swim advise him to get into deeper
water, and he will wade out into the
river up to his armpits and then make q
vigorous effort to swim ashore. The
average Minneapolis boy is full of
pluck, and he reasons that if Jimmy
Smith and Ole Olson, who are not as big
or as strong as he is, can accomplish
the feat of swimming across the river
there is no reason under the sun why
he cannot do the same, and he perse-
veres until his efforts are crowned with
success.
Another favorite swimming place for
the Minneapolis boys is out beyond
Keegan'S lake. Bassett'S creek widens
every here and there, and deep pools
ranging from 100 feet to 100 yards long
and from 20 to 60 yards wide. The
water in the creek, passing as it does
between heavily wooded hills, is de-
lightfully cool, and the boys are not
long in finding the best places in which
to indulge in their sport. Then these
bathing grounds are just beyond the
city limits, and they have no fear of a
blue-coated policeman suddenly pounc-
ing down upon them and disturbing
their pleasure; and in these parties
St. Paul daily globe., 1890-06-22

just around the bend in Cedar lake
from the Kenwood station there is a
high hill covered with old trees. The
woods cut off the view from the road,
and narrow but sandy beach makes a
pleasant spot for the boys to disrobe
and paddle about in the water. AS
there are quite a number of boats on
Cedar lake, as a rule the boys wear
bathing suits, although now and then
one more venturesome than the rest
will discard everything for dip in the
cool waters. A mounted policeman pa
trolls the lake. and it is very seldom
that he has to call attention to the fact
that the city ordinances relating to
bathing are being violated. At Lake
Calhoun there are regular bath houses,
and the boys enjoy themselves without
any fear OF interference.

J. M. Donelson, the Nicollet avenue

hints thrown out that toreseelng failure

fullest investigation. He says he went
to Butte to establish business and had

that two Of the thieves have been cap

tooth is great institution, has come to

crowds will number anywhere from six
to twenty lads, of all sizes and ages.
They are not so expert, perhaps, as the
river swimmers. but, judging from the
noise they make, and the amount of
splashing, they enjoy themselves equal
lY as well. In these pools there is but
little current, and while the water in
some places is deep enough to permit
diving, none of the boys run any risk of
drowning, for few strokes is enough
to carry them to the bank, and besides,
there are always enough of their COM
