you VIII pardon mo for narrsting .
story which chiefly concerns myself.
was down In . Central Illinois town
drumming mp trade one day when
was attacked with the toothache. ! had
IN unsound tooth that had troubled me
for quite awhile and I determined TO
have done with Il then and there j
sought . dsntist'a chair and told him TO
pail IL Qua He tried 10 convince me
that several dollars' worth of gold I'LL
ing would mako Il good - new, but my
irs wss rouseA and ! WA bent on hsv-
IND revenge. would not be satisAed
unu had convinced that tooth that l
could do WITHOUT n So commanded
him 10 pail ID out and with protsstac
lions h reluctantly did 20. II occupied
the place that this tooth does" said the
txavsnng man, tapping ono Of his incis-
orr "snd when Il was onoe out saw
that looked % sGxangely that some
thing slss must take It's place ~ soon
- poQible. ] asked the dentist II he
had ne<Aing else he could put in the
place a Il - I did NOT Ike my appear
anes q I'll. He wss thoughtful for .
momeuA when light seemed TO dawn
on his mind. He took from . cabinet
bottle IN which was . tooth immersed
In . liquid Of some dud. I have here
he remarked. = good. sound, healthy
tooth that win almost exactly match
The rest u yours. that I can plant In the
one Just exfxacted and it will grow as
though nothing had happened He per
suaded me, without much opposition on
my part, that It would be better than .
false tooth. and it was the work Of only
. few moments for him to put it in place.
It was sore for q short time but soon
grow arm md solid, and to-day 1t is Is
good tooth q ! have.
"But now for the stranger part Of the
story. Before the dental operation I
speak Of was performed had been adj
dicted 10 the use Of tobacco. Ismoked
and chewsd almo st to excess From
the dag I got my new tooth my love for
tobacco began to decrease, and by the
time the tooth had become firm and
solid couldn't use the.weed at all. A
chew Of tobacco or smoking . cigar
made me very sick. In fact / became
opposed TO the use Of tobacco generally
and have remained SO till the present
day. But as my love for tobacco waned
my love for chewing gum increased, and
-SthNv,t IA
psssionatsly fond Of ice-cream also. and
during the summer season l can scarce
~ get enough OF II, and . strange feat
ure Of the case 10 want some other
man to pay for it. There seems to be
something about that tooth that makes
me crave for ice-cream. 1t il with great
difficulty can pass . millinery store
without going In and pricing all the
goods In stock. Sometimes, when I'm
in great hurry TO catch train, ! find
myself stopping in front Of some millin-
ers window to inspect the latest style
Of hats- Whsn pass lady wearing
an attractive gown or hat on the street,
il wouldn't matter II there were q mad
dog after me, I'D stop and look around
TO see II her dress and hat were becon-
ing. Il didn't take me long to surmise
that the new tooth was in some way to
blame for my strange antics, and when
/ visited the dentists town again weht
TO him and told him every thing. oh,
said he, it is even worse than feared
IL would be. That tooth used to belong
to q young lady"
