We Can't Talk

Without showing the condition Of our
teeth. Every laugh exposes them. In
order not to be ashamed of them, let us
use that standard dentifrice, SOZODONT,
which is sure to keep them white and
spotless, No tartar can encrust them, no
canker affect the enamel, no species of de
cav infest the dental bone, if SOZODONT
is regularly used. 1t is botanic al prepa-
ration, and its beneficial effects on the
teeth and gums are marvellous. as it re.
moves all discolorstions, and rspders the
gums hard and rosy.

don't see why the chances for young men
are not as good low as ever. 1t is true
much is done by combinations of capital,
still, the field is larger and the possibilities
are fully as great. As to my advice to
young men, l would say: Sick to what
you undertake. Be punctusl in your ap-
pointments, be honest and be brief. Re
member that time is money and that
brevity and punctuality are among the best
elements of success. l don't believe in
long business letters. There is no business
SO important that you can't put the whole
of it on one sheet of paper. I have Guilt
waited brevity throughout my life and I
think it has paid me to do 30. I believe in
early rising and find that my brain works
best between the hours of six and eight in
the morning."

How to Fight a DueI.

The practice of dueling is practically
extinct in this country, and soon will be,
doubtless, in all parts of the world. Sen
sible minds everywhere see the absurdity
of it, though men in passion, or acting
under false notion of honor, may some
times yield to the foolish requirements of
the code"
At one time two well known Frenchmen,
Cham, the caricaturist, and Philippe Gille,
q man of letters, had violent quarrel in q
theater after the play was over. Their
friends interceded, but only made matters
worse
One of the men challenged the other.
Seconds were named on the spot, and both
men insisted that the preliminaries of the
meeting should be arranged at once.
The seconds stepped into an adjoining
room to make the grim arrangements for
the duel, leaving the two principals in the
same apartment.
''What shall be the weapons2" the second
of one party asked; "pistolsS"
"No," said another; with pistols it is all
over so quickly that one has no chance to
see anything"
The partition between the room in which
this discussion occurred and the one in
which Cham and Gille. glazing at the floor,
were waiting, was so thin that the two men
heard every word.
At the remark just quoted they looked
up at each other.
THAT isn't very funny to hear" said
Cham.
Hardly" said Gille. "We'd better go
out on the stage"
They went out into the solemn gloom of
the deserted stage and found that also IN
pleasant.
Lets go out on the street." said one to
the other.
They went out and presently saw good
many people going into restaurant. They
followed mechanically and sat down at a
table.
Half an hour afterward, when the sec
onds had completed the arrangements for
the fight, they were surprised not to find
the principals where they left them; and
when they went in search of them they
found them supping merrily together, en-
tirely reconciled. Companion.

the parlor maid Che had not such murder
Gus look, after alb, and there was a gen.
eral rush kitchenward by all except Jack
and myself.
When l related the story Of Pietro and
Marcella to Jack, and told him how had
given the girl letter to my landlord, so
that she could forward my baggage, Jack
said:
"You have been the victim of very nice
little confidence game. happened TO hear
of Marcella when | was in Naples, and
know that she is in league with an I'M
savory gang of thieves that make special
war on the pockets of Americans. Your
trunks and the 10000 francs will never
reach you Rest assured of that"
Here, then, was the end of the Marcella
romance. She was only a common sneak
thief who had been making q fool Of me.
Of course Pietro had been the driver of the
wagon, and be had helped me TO run away
from himself. A very neat plot all through,
/ was obliged to confess. The only conso-
lation had lay in the fact that | had not
told Marcella the truth about my baggage.
The 10000 francs existed only in my imagi-
nation, and my trunks and the contents
were not worth much more than a hun
bred dollars altogether. My experience
was worth that, reflected.
But never hear the word Camorra with
out shudder.-George G. jerks in Pitts
