JACK.

am proud of my thirteen.year-
friend. | think he showed real pluck.
And all this story is true, excepting the
name by which | call the boy.
OF course Jack was "skylarking.
But, unless some care is taken, a boy
may "skylark" himself into trouble.
That is what Jack came near doing when
he steered his sled between the fore and
hind legs of horse.
"But tho cop" by which understand d
a policeman was meant) "said that the
boys had perfect right to slide on that
hill"
So if horses came in the way, they did
so at their own risk. However, that
is not what this story is abont.
They were playing Tag" my Jack
and the Doctors son. Playing with all
their might and main, suspect. jack
sturdy knickerbockers look as if they
could make good time when it comes to
a run.
Ho rushed after the doctors son, and
the doctors son "went for him.
"Round about and round about
And round about they snun."
Close to the big front door they sped.
Up the steps and into the vestibule they
tumbled. Jack would have seized the
DOCTORS son had not that youngster burst
open the inner door and whisked into the
hall, slamming the door in his pursuer' s
face, and shouting, Tagged you last!''
Jack thrust out an eager arm just as
the portal closed. Bang! through the

The blood spured. You may believe
there was commotion.
Then Jack was led, keeping tight hold
of his wrist, into the doctors office
Scream! No. he did not scream. Cryi
Not he He stood up as straight as a
ramrod and let the doctor examine the
wound.
This must be sewed up" remarked
the physician, gravely.
Indeed the cut looked serious.

All! that would be comfort What
boy, in such q scrape, would not like his
mother TO sympathize, TO console, and to
sustain?
But Jack bethought himself. The
father is away, cruising in Southern
seas. 1t has been Jacks business ia
care for his mother, not to worry and
distress her.
"She has gone to an afternoon tea.
won't have her bothered" decided Jack.
So he held out his wrist, and made no
moan while one, two, three, seven
stitches drew the gaping flesh together.
He went home when the wound was
bound up. 1t was not till the mother
reached her house that she heard of the
accident. She flew up stairs, with her
heart in her mouth.
But she found Jack as cheerful and
smiling as June morning.
Don't be frightened" he told her.

Washington's Love.Letters.

Concerning the Rev. +. f. Hale's
statement that while George Washington
was great gallant prior TO his marriage
"there is not a single love-letter extani
written by him. the Richmond Dispatch
says: 1--WE are under the impression
that Ex-Governor Fitz Lee has in his
possession the initial number of what
might have been a series Of love-letters
from Washington, but the lady to whom
or about whom this was written is said
TO have rejected George because he had
big hands and feet, or because he entered
q room awkwardly, or for some equally
good reason, and hence the correspond
ence was soon terminated"

Matching Teeth.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
dentists meet with is the matching Of
false teeth with the natural teeth Of
their customers. The tooth factories
supply dentists with rings upon which
are strung thin, short metal bars,
each carrying tooth at its extremi-
ty. There are twenty-five Of these
sample teeth, that run all the way
from nearly white to a shade that is
almost olive. Some one OF the twen-
ty.five usually almost matches the
patients natural teeth, and, at any
rate, enables the dentist to match
the teeth by application at the factory.
