 OF COURSE you know how it feels to have a tooth ''pulled." Both the antici- patton and realization cause suffering most intense, and for the jaw-breaker to request you to look pleasant during the ordeal is only an aggraVation. Know ing this, perhaps you will not think | hard things of a well-known citizen who startled his friends the other day. | For long time he had been a victim of | toothache. Many times he re- | solved to make a complete surrender of | his teeth to some dentist, but as often | lacked the necessary courage to face the | music in cold blood, and dreaded to | he determined to do or die. He is a | strictly temperate man and when his friends saw him making desperate efforts to swallow a half pint of whiskey they were alarmed. But he knew what he was about and when the alcohol began to make it's presence fe t, brave as lion he rushed away to the slaughter. An hour later he returned as sober as a deacon and minus fourteen teeth.

 short. Henry is very fond of dough- nuts, and few days ago ordered box from Waterbury baker.

 JOHN T. DRESCHER, the Grand street barber, who spent the summer in Europe, had a thrilling experience in Paris, on ; the night of September IS, when the first production of Wagner's ''Loheng in'
 was given in the Grand opera. It was fine performance, in spite of the most determined opposition. The boxes were , filled with an audience d'elite, while
 outside an angry mob of students , anarchists and quasi-patrons raved anC swore and gave vent to their feelings O
 disgust by singing the "Marseillaise, "Vive la France" and "A bas Wagner. : One hundred police stormed the mob
 but could make no impression. Abou . 10 o'clock a body of armed cavalr. charged upon the crowd and finally sue ceeded in clearing the streets. M { Drescher, who was an interested specta
 tor, was unable to escape to a place o !, safety and was run down by a flying . horseman, his foot being painfully in f jured.
 eI IT WOULD be well TOT persons wh f serve on jury in a justice case t :. know the following facts: Usually e bond is required from either one or bot r of the contestants in the case to secur S the court and jury costs. This is no l. always the case, however, and whel d such is the fact the members of tn v jury might as well hunt for needle il e a hay stack, as look for their pay. O
 course tho law requires a juror, whel d summoned, to come from whatever dis :, ttance he may live to act on a case. d law should also be enacted to secure tn l. jurors their fees. It is only a shor r time since justice case, before a jur
 of six, was tried in the Waterbur
 court. The members Of that jury hay
 never been paid nor is there much hop
 that they will be. There is just on Il way in which jurors may make sure c
 their pay. In justice case after tl- 1T jury has deliberated and has come to IS decision, let the foreman state to tn IS court that when the jurors are paid fc l. their services they will give their d' y cision and not before. This is legal.
