A South street pawnbroker was amazed
one Saturday when poorly dressed man
walked in, and putting his right hand to his
mouth drew forth nice looking set of false
teeth. which he laid on the counter.
"Well, what is it, gasped the pawnbroker,
when he recovered his breath.
"What can | get on 'em!' said the man
carelessly. holding toward the teeth.
What on your teethf'
YES, on my teeth"
"Why, man. you won't be able to eat"
II know that"
"You do, chs"
Eyes, perfectly. l can't get anything to
eat. Consequently my teeth are of no use to
me. IT'S true might keep them for orna-
mental purposes, but being poor man can't
afford that. Then, again. when get angry
l might indicate that such was the fact by
showing my teeth, but, alasl that doesn't pay,
either"
As the shades of night began to fall the
two, the pawnbroker and the man, were still
negotiating, the man trying TO argue the SUI
perior quality of the molars and the pawn
broker persuasively proving that teeth were
really drug in the market. -Philadelph

Much Importance is attached by those
engaged in researches relative to the
early records of the human race to the
recent discovery on the Ohio side of
the river near Parkersburg, w. Va, of
the remains of IA prehistoric village. The
town site comprises an area of about four
acres, and over the entire area the earth
is slightly burned, having reddish
color, and is thickly intermixed with
fragments of pottery, streaks of ashes
and fragments of bones of animals and
human beings. In several places are to
be seen the ruins of what seem to be an
cient fireplaces, containing charcoal inter
mixed with charred nuts of various sorts.
Around these tireplaces are found orna-
ments and implements, such as battle
axes, belts, knives, drills spear and arrow
points. and ornaments made of bone and
slate. The spear and arrow heads are of
fine workmanship, and are all of very
hard substances, as agate chalcedony,
carnelian, quartz, jasper and slate.

methodical in his business habits and

thousand and one social obligations. He
is the only railroad president in New

of the Samoan treaty at the German for

and Germany removes from the realm
of international dispute "A perplexing
question that at one time threatened to
involve at least two of the powers named
in war. Samoa is far away, the islands
are of no particular value save to the
native inhabitants, and the regulation of
affairs there could advantage none of the
three nations mentioned to any remark
able extent Yet the dispute was for a
time of serious dimensions Now it is
well out of the way, it is to be hoped,

Mr.. Sloan has the reputation Of being

only has sufficient sense not to attempt
to talk to him when he is overwhelmed
with business matters. All his clerks
are very fond of their aged chief.

Probably one of the most interesting
of all the railroad presidents who have
their offices in New York is Mr. Samuel
Sloan, president of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad. Very few
people know that he is an Irishman. He
was born at Lisbun, near Belfast, in
1917. Coming to America when young,
he received IA good education at Column
bia Grammar school in New York, and
was afterwards a merchant, supervisor
and state senator. He was president of
the Hudson River railroad from 1888 To
1862, and also acted as commissioner Of
the trunk lines. He was elected presi-
dent of the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western in 1867, and is now president
of dozen smaller roads and a director in
the Western Union Telegraph company.
In his business habits Mr.. Sloan is
clockwork itself. He opens, reads and
answers all of the official and personal
