Some One Swallowed the
Tooth. ,:tt

l heard n rather amusing story of
n number of young peop.e who as
sembled few days ago at the home
OF II charming young lady somewhere
in the eastern part of the city tor q
quiet little game at cards. During
the progress of the evening one of
the girls produced her bonbonniere,
which passed in succession around
the merry circle until it's tiny lid
closed only on an aching void and
delicate flavor of Italian mint. When
the pretty box was returned empty
to its owner, the delicate suffusion of
her flushed brow faded to CHASTITY
pallor as she cried, "Whcre's nv
sharks tooth? / had it in this bon
bonniere." Then the pallor went
around as visions OF the gastronomic
impossibilities of the situation
dawned on those who had partaken
Of the contents of the box-some-
body had swallowed the wisdom
molar OF a man-eating CO rcharias vul-
garis, but who? Nobody. knows To,
this day, but there was sense of un-
easiness about the little gathering
thereafter that fell like n pail over
the general jollity.-LouisviIle Post.

Navigating an Ox-Team.

A Cay or two ago local police of.
ficer had occasion to arrest a yoke
OF oxen and imprison them in a
Franklin street stable amid hay and
sundries. He approached the cud-
chewers. and, taking the goad-stick,
prepared to drive them.
Reader, did you over navigate a
yoke of oxen and a hay-rack? Did
you ever agitate the goad-stick? Did
you ever address barnyard CONVEX
sation to the mild-eyed beasts: If
you never did you don't know how
easy it is not to drive oxen. The DO
lfcelnan began wrong, in the first
place He got on the wrong side OF
the cattle, and when he addressed a
"gee-haw' to the pair they haw-geed
instead OF gee-hawing. This was evil
dent, after they had taken six or
seven long steps, for whereas the
policeman had intended to lay a
course due south, they made leeway
toward Chapel street and seemed in
clined to head due north for the Lew
lston exchange.
A number of frantic ''whoes"
brought them to and enabled the po-
liceman to reply to sarcastic ailu-
sion ola country lad who was sitting
ON the tongue of an OK team loaded
with hny near by.
The boy said: "Mister P'liceman.
you'd drive them ere steers better if
you'd git round on t'other side"
The officer accepted the advice and
jabbed the off OK. He jumped and
they started. This time they collided
with the barber pole and got one
wheel of the hay-rack almost into a
pile Of meal bags. The officer grew
excited. He "whoa-hised" and gee
bucked." He got them started and
then got round in front and tried to
stop them by his pleading gestures.
He drew an audience. He waved the
stick like n farmer driving for the
state-fair pulling stakes. He smiled
through his grief and finally got the
patient beasts, who probably we're
asmuch surprised as he was. straight-

John L. Sullivan Snubbed.

A lively little scene occurred at
Chamberlain resort in Washington.
John Russell Young, Senator Squires,
Representative Grain, Isaac H. Brom-

Phil Thompson, of Kentucky, were
at the Buffet, when in came John L.
Sullivan. accompanied by Jack Bar.
rett. Sullivan had been drinking,
but was not ugly. He knew John
Russell Young, and ut once made for
him and his party. The two shook
hands and John l.. at once ordered
two ''bots," as he called it. Young
then introduced him to Senator
Squires and was about to present
him to Bromley, when the latter drew
himself up and turned away.
''Ain't you going to shake hands,"
Numbered Sullivan.
NO, sir" responded Bromley, Il

said Sullivan, slamming his hat on
the back of his head.
Nothing; you are simply a bully,

By this time everybody was feeling
uncomfortable, and Bromley was as
white as sheet. 1t was feared Sui
livan would make a break, hut he
did not. He simply gave Mr.. Young
q gruif "good day." and muttering
something about not staying where
he was not wanted, turned away,

a Morning with Wolves.

| AS the prairie wolves are very nu-
merous about Longmont, Col, and ex-
ceeGingiy troublesome, l determined
to put stop to their midnight inva-
sions, especially as my chickens were
getting very scarce. Accordingly on:,
morning, about daylight, l took ms
repeating rifle and started for the
lake, knowing l should be able to in
tercept them as they returned from the
plains to their dens in the foot hills.
l got to the north bank of the lake end
sat down among some willow bushes
and waited. l hadn't sat there long
before l saw a gray old fellow ascend
the ridge and disappear over the other
side. l knew there vas !. carcass of
an old horse lying over the ridge. SO
as soon as he disappeared l followed
up little draw and as l approached
the top of the hill peered cautiously
over, and down in the ravine about one
hundred yards l saw seven wolves
busy with their breakfast or supper.
! know not which. l crawled along
about ten yards under the shelter of u
cactus, raised up on one knee, rested
my elbow on the other to steady my
aim and drew a bead on the largest
one. At the spiteful crack of the old
Marlin one rolled over, and the band
not having any further business in that
locality commenced Il wild race for
their mountain home. The fun now
commenced in real earnest. Rising to
my feet l quickly pumped a fresh shell
into the barrel and fired into the
bunch and one OF them stopped very
suddenly with his nose against a rock.
Bang, bang, went two more shots, but
both We're too low. SO, profting from
past experience I shot higher and
over rolled another, but he quicklyre
gained his feet and tried desperately
to keep up with the scattered, fleeing
pack. They were over 200 yards
away, and at that distance a single
wolf makes small target, especially
when running. But kept pumping
the old Marlin and had the satisfaction
OF seeing the bullets strike in among
them by the little clouds of dust they
would raise. Finally they had got
about 400 yards away and 1 still had

quickly pumped that into the barrel
and by Il chance shot tumbled over
another one. They were now out of
range and l calmly surveyed the bat
tle-field, for knew had only wound
ed one OF them. I called my dog, but
he was nowhere to be seen. SO /
went down into the draw where l had
last seen the wounded wolf and there
stood my dog, trying to keep him from
escaping. He was afraid to jump the
wolf, but he succeeded admirably in
so retarding his wolfship's movements
that l soon overlook them, and, Pit
ting a fresh she'll in the gun, laid
him out. Four wolves before break
fast. Pretty good. 1t is needless to
say haven't seen another in the vi
cinity of the draw since. l..

Too Sick to Go tn School.

Too Sick to Go tn school.
When brother Jack and were boys,
Full twenty years ago,
We never feared to go to school
Through storms of sleet and snow;
But summer weather made us sick
When forests beckoned COOL
Not sick enough to feel bad,
But too sick to go to school.
On rainy days, through seas of mud,
Undauntedly we sailed,
But when the pleasant weather came
Our constitution failed.
Or If circus CHANGED TO come,
1t found us, as n rule,
Not sick enough to feel bad,
But too sick to so to school.
Oh. often in the morning
We woke in wOeful plight,
But after father went to work
Our illness all took flight.
We hunted UP our fishing rods
And sought some shady pool
Not sick enough to feel bad.
But too sick TO go to school,
One day our father happened home
As we came Struggling in,
And drew us gently DER the edge
Or the potatO-bin.
That afternoon we sadly sat
Beneath the teachers rule;
Quite sick enough TO feel bad.
And too sick to so to school. -E,.

What q Diver Saw.

G. f. Holder, n diver, says: The
seas off the Florida coast are famous
for their fishes, and many were beau
ties, being striped with bright green
yellow and rcd. Others had long
streamers, and looked like the harle-
quins and columbines in pantomimes.
l noticed that there was the greatest
difference between them in their habits.
Some were shy and darted away at the
slightest motion, while others seemed
to think me a huge fish and came near
me rs If curious to see what was like.
Some swan over my arms and let me
move my hand toward them. But
most were shy. AS to the stories of
sharks, they are in the main not true.
l have had a shark come within five
feet OF me, and when raised my arm
1t darted off in such hurry that the
boiling OF the water nearly threw me
of my feet. OF course, there may be
cases where very large shark might
attack a diver, but il he should attack
one wearing the modern divers helmet
or armor, think the shark would have
hard time of Hopper and glass
would not make very good mouthful. +"
said the diver, laughing.
"A friend Of mine had a funny ex-
perience, He was walking on u sandy
bottom, when suddenly he was lifted
upward, then thrown backward. and,
but for his pike, would have fallen.

A Thrilling Adventure.

Two gentlemen while on their way
to the Malpais met IL Mexican who
volunteered to go and show them what
he knew about the crater, near Albu-
querque, N. NJ. AS n general thing
the Mexicans are suspcrstitious, aud
shun the vicinity of the lava beds, but
this man agreed to 60. He piloted
the AlbuquerQueans to ~ cave on the
highest point, through cracks in the
floor OF which n warm vapor assembled.
Viewing the surroundings for a few
seconds the men were startled by low
rumbling sound, like distant thunder.
and the lava beneath their feet trem-
bled. The Mexican fed Immediately
to the open air, but before the gentle
men could realize it ~ portion of the
cave fell in and they with it, into in
tense darkness. Neither was injured,
but the ground upon which they fell
seemed to sway to and fro. Fortunate
ly one OF the party had q candle and
some matches, and after innumerable
attempts to light it tho candle was
made to burn.
When the light was obtained. a lake
OF water, black as pitch. lay ut their
feet, while the opposite shore appeared
to be moving from right to left. 1t
seemed that they had landed on q
floating island or n huge mass of lava.
which has probably been eddying
around in this strange whirlpool for
centuries. The Mexican soon returned
to the mouth OF the cave, and, lower
ing lariats, by the aid OF their horses.
pulled the imprisoned explorers out OF
their bondage and to the surface once
more. .

Then despair helped him to ac-
complish prodigies. He lifted blocks
of stone. which he threw far from
him; he wrested away beams bristling
with nails. With blows of his feet,
of his shoulders, urged on by fero-
cious energy, he rapidly accomplished
a giant work, and was ready to fall
from fatigue and thirst when there
was a sudden giving way in the mass
under his feet, which landed him on
the edge of an excavation, which
yawned beneath him black and I'M
fathomable. Crouched down over
this sinister hole, he reached out his
arm and CROPPED cautiously around
in the darkness, He encountered
something soft and cold. In spite of
the horror which seized him, he had
the courage to examine with his
trembling hands the already icy flesh.
He distinguished first an open mouth,
closed eyes, asmOoth brow, then sud-
denly his fingers were buried in II
waving. silken mass, which he recog-
nized instantly. Her superb tresses!
Merely by touching them he recalled
their color distinctly.

locks he had so often fOndled, he
murmured, softly: "My love-if you
are not dead-speak to me-"
Only the silence replied to him.
''She is dead" he thought. Il

The Duke of Marlborough Buys Up Some
Valuable Options.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAsITo THE DIsPAToH.i
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The Duke and
Duchess of Marlborough returned to Eng
land week ago, and the friends of the Duke
now see no objection to letting it be known
that he was here on business. He made an
extended tour of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama and other Southern States with
Mr.. Hewitt and he has secured options on
lands supposed to have coal and iron
products in Northern Alabama and in
Tennessee. The Duchess of Marlborough
did not take very kindly to the Dukes
ideas about his Southern ventures. In q
word, she thought that in view of the recent
vast development any new ventures would
have an element of risk, which would not
warrant her in putting any of her individual
fortune into the enterprises.
The Duke of Marlborough, while not
questioning his wife's business acumen, still
held to his ideas and believed that the op-
tions that he and his friends had secured
would turn out to be great financial sue
cesses. With this belief 1t Is said he has
returned to London with the idea of inter-
esting some of his English friends in plan
to organize a company which is to furnish
the capital for the development of these
lands, and if need be to furnish the funds to
build a city something after the plan of
Birmingham.

An Issue Raised on Census Interrogatories
for Legal Decision.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPA ArcH.,
PROVIDENCE, Dec. 15.-Exactly how far
the census department can go in asking a
man questions about his business, is likely
to be decided in the case of ex-Representa-
tive Sarle, an old Warwick farmer, who has
been member Of the General Assembly.
When the census taker called on Mr.. SarIe.
who had not worked sums in arithmetic for
good many years, he was unable to tell him
how many quarts of milk he had sold in the
previous II months, how many lo46s of hay
he got off his meadow land, and other mat
ters,' which he had always supposed to be
mis- own private business However. his re-
fusal was not prompted by any desire to
raise constitutional question for the
United States Supreme Court, but by sheer
inability to give the information desired.
Prof Williams, supervisor for Rhode
Island, reported the case to Washington and
Superintendent Porter ordered that it be
laid before the United States District At
torney. An indictment was found against
Mr.. Sarle, who is preparing to offer as Wig
orous defense as possible, and whose law
yers will raise the issue whether the answer
ing of such questions is or is not obligatorv
