management to do Charles, and having
been granted leave from the rolling
mill where he worked, he came to my
hotel TO rehearse the struggle. After
he had twisted the majority of my joints
out of shape and covered me with Crime
from his dirty hands, | concluded that
might get through without mourning
the jeers of the gallery, and went to
the theater at night in a highly-confi-
dent state of mind. There | discovered
big crowd around the gallery door
discussing an announcement which read
to the effect that in the wrestling scene
Mr.. James Dunkelly would meet Mr..
Otis Skinner in grand trial of skill,
both men being expert wrestlers"
The local manager had evidently
doomed his Saturday night attraction.
THE gallery was packed, and | was
frightfully nervous.
when we made our appearance for
the scene Charles got n tremendous re-
ception from his friends, but they re-
garded me with much suspicion. How
ever, we began our prearranged tackles
and the big mill-hand allowed me to
heave him about in the most marvellous
way. This disguised his admirers, who
began to cool decidedly, until, as was
agreed. he tossed pre over his shoulder
as though had been small-sized bag
of meal. This slightly cleared Dl 'zel-

But a moment later the final throw was
given. He did a careful somersault over
my shoulder and lay fiat on his back.
During the applause which greeted
this trick the rolling-mill contingent sat
speechless and wrathful, but when
silence came again tiny voice, shak-

PAINLESS DENTISTRY.
The Cowboy Learned That the Tender
foot Had Nerve.

foot Had Nerve.
Many wears ago. writes western
correspondent of the Companion, a
group of cowboys rode into the frontier
town of Prairieville. and while canter-
ing down the principal street came to a
sign-"Painless Dentist" They cmptied
the contents of their revolvers into it,
and then one of the company dis
mounted and announced his intention
to go in and get a sore tooth attended
to. And don't pay no fancy price for
it, neither" he muttered, as he walked
noiselessly into the office.
The dentist was quiet-loating young
man of twenty-five.
''See herei" shouted the cowboy, as
he advanced toward the chair, II want
a tooth fixed, and l don't want any
high-toned prices charged, either"
lie threw himself into the chair,
hitched his belt around in front of him,
laid his revolver across his lap and told
the dentist that if he hurt him he would
shoot the top of his head off.
Very well, :" replied the dentist. with
a slight laugh; then you must take the
gas, for this is a bad tooth and wisl give
trouble"
The cowboy swore, but finally yielded,
and with a parting threat submitted to
the respiration, and presently was in
sensible.
With great skill the man of the for
ceps pulled the tooth, and then, before
his customer regained consciousness, he
securely tied him hand and foot to the
chair, which was firmly screwed to the
floor. Then taking the bully's revolver
out of his belt, the dentist took up his
position where the patient could see
him when he came to.
As the cowboy struggled back to con
sciOusness the first thing of which he
was sensible was the dentist pointing
the revolver at him, and saying in quiet
tones:
Now then, don't move. just open
your mouth as wide as possible, and
will shoot the bad tooth off. This is the
painless process. No danger. sir, I'M
less you happen to swallow the bullet.
Are You ready? Then here goes, One,
two, three"
Bang, went the revolver, knocking a
hole in the floor under the chair, and
the dentist rushed forward holding out
the tooth in his hand 10 show the now
terrified bully, who roared for mercy
and begged to be released, thinking
that he had fallen into the hands of a
mailman.
The dentist finally cut his bonds on
condition that his customer should re-
store the riddled sign outside the office.
And after paying five dollars for the ex-
tracted tooth, which the dentist grimly
declared to be the regular price for
painless operations, the crestfallen cow
boy departed, convinced that appear
ances are sometimes deceitful, and that
even tenderfoot may have Ecrve.-

ABOUT TIN RABBITS.
They Are Cheap. Easily Made and VIII Be


Found Very Useful.
In manipulating frames it is quite an
advantage to have them rest on as small
a surface as possible. They often be-
come propelled and stuck fast to the
rabbet on which they rest. This is
especially the case in cool weather, and
loosening them jars the frames and
greatly disturbs the bees. To over
come this trouble l have used for sew
eral years a tin rabbet, as shown in the
cut, and find it quite an advantage.

II is a mistake to feed the hens and
growing chicks together, as the result
will be that the hens receive too much
and the chicks too little food At this
season one good meal a day is all that
adult fowls should have, as tOo much
grain causes them to become too fat.
Chicks, on the contrary, until three or
four months OLD, should have two
meals daily. If all the fowls are fed
together, the proper apportionment of
the food cannot be observed. If the
food is not given with judgment, the re-
suit is waste and an increase of the

Prepare to remove the specimen by
carefully digging around it with a

sides of the adhering earth will conform
to the shape of box to be used. Do
not attempt to remove the specimen be-
fore fixing the box permanently. This
should be done by first placing the Sec
