The fresh young man had been
talking for two hours The young
ecmaa on whom he was calling had
listened until she was tired to death.
6nd still the fresh young man worked
his Jaws and talked and talked and
talked.
Something was said about personal
courage and will-power and that sort
of thing, and the fresh young man
took his cue. 81 was down to a

land l natter myself that l proved
my courage and will-power perfectly.
I've got both. Y ou see it was this
way: | met friend on the street
one morning who was suffering from
IA terrible toothache. His face was
all swelled up and he told me that
he was on his way to dentists.
Now, | had nothing to do and [ de-
termined to go along with my friend
and have my teeth fixed, too. We
hunted up man and went in. My
friends courage all oozed out at his
fingertips as soon as we entered the
door, and l must confess that | felt a
little bit nervous myself. My friend
sat down in the chair and, as soon as
the dentist began prying around in
his mouth, he began to yell 'murdern
and he kept it up until was ashamed
to think of him as friend. Finally
the dentist got through with the
man who had little nerve and l
stepped into his chair, firm in the
determination that l would not utter
d sound. no matter how much the
dentist hurt me.
''He took out one of his instru-
ments of torture and pried around in
my mouth for time. Then he an
nounced that it would be necessary to
kill the nerve in the tooth which he
had located. and he said that he
would do it then and there. He did
it. He hurt me as no mortal was
ever hurt before. He jabbed that
elongated crochet-needle of his clear
up to the top of my head and twisted
it around as roughly as if he were
digging a post-hOle All this time
my friend sat and watched me roll
around in the chair, but he didn't
hear me say word. l never opened
my mouth. 1t took courage and it
took will-power. and for half al hour
l sat there with the tears running
down my face and suffered untold
agonies. But l didn't give up l
didn't whimper and, would you be-
lieve it, when got down out of that
chair l could not speak a word. My
voice had lost it's full rich tone and
all l could do was whisper unintel
ligibly. 1 took it that [ bit so hard
on the doctors instrument that the
strain, combined with the great ex-
ertion of will-powr. sort of par
alyzed the vocal apparatus /"
"Oh, MIR. Fresshe." broke in the
young woman, ''why don't you get
your teeth fixed every day?"
And he never stopped to say good
night.

The Woman ana the Rose.

A traveller stopped at Il little cabin
in the Georgia woods. He wore
white rose on his coat-one that a
little girl had PiueiSed and pinned
there as he was leaving home.
A woman entered the cabin. She
stood and gazed at the rose a mo-
Iient; then, darting forward. she
tore it from the Strangers coat and
stamped it on the rude floor.

stranger, leaping to his feet.

A Manchester firm is introducing a
new steam trap of great simplicity.
AS described by Industries and
Iron" it consists of a box OF the
ordinary construction provided with
inlet and outlet orifices. The inlet
can be closed, by means of conical
valve, which when pressed INFO the
Orifce and against its edge forms an
e1fcctual seal The valve is fastened
into bar, extending longitudinally
of the box, and sufficiently long as
practically to fill it, being secured at
each end. The bar when subjected
to the steam which enters the
trap expands, and being bound
longitudinally naturally buckles or
bends. 1t is prevented from bending
in one direction by q stop, and must
therefore do so in the direction of
the inlet. Tho result is that the
valve is pressed into the latter, and
cluses it. AS soon as water collects
the heat acting on the bar diminishes,
and contracts, thus withdrawing the
valve and permitting water to pass.
This action goes on autOmatical ly.

Lost Through HIS Love for Fun.

In one OF the Oldest castles of north
ern England visitors are shown two
rooms which are connected with
each other by singular mechanism.
Each room is adjoined by an alcove,
used as sleeping apartment, and
the floors of the adjoining alcovoL
turn on a pivot in the center of the
partition wall This ingenious de-
vice was the invention of one of the
ancestors of the present proprietor,
who was somewhat OF a wag and
found great pleasure in frightening
and my ystifying his guests. When one
had gone to bed in the green room
and the other in the blue room the
floors were turned on their pivots.
and on wakening TIE visitor found
himself in strange quarters. with
clothes that we're not his own. 1t is
said that this fun-loving lord lost a
rich inheritance by thus disturbing
the restful moments of a wealthy
aunt, who never forgave the trick
her nephew played upon her.

AN ISLAND OF Ala OWN.

n racine Coast Man Who Owes No Al

The people of Olympia. Wash. and
residents of neighboring points know
of a lost island that is actually lost
50 far as the government records are
concerned, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. 1t is known to steam boat
captains and people in the ncighbor-
hood as Steamboat island. because of
its resemblance to big steamboa
Instead of being lost to sighs This Is
land has really lost its identity Ao-
cOrding to IL frank admission of the
land department this island Is not
under the control of any known gov
ernment This discovery was made
by man by the name of + Brun
son. who squatted on the island
about three years ago and then
sought to file on the land as home
stead. He wa sent from one point
to another trying to get it surveyed.
but met with nothing but disappoint
ment at each turn. At length. after
wearisome delay, the department at
Washington sent word that it had no
knowledge Of any such piece of land
within the borders of the United
States. Brunson continues to squat
Gnd now deies the powers that be to
oust him. He is bachelor and is
the sole resident OF the island, which
contains about six acres He has
small ranch. where he raises garden
truck, etc. and lives as independent
ly as an of the proud potentates of
Europe. At low tide Erunion can
reach the mainland along low spit
of sand, but when the water comes in
he Is cut OF from all communication
with the out ide world except by
boat. This miniature X k'ngdom Is
about twelve miles from Olympia. at
the Intersection of Big Skookun and
Oyster bays. According to Brun-
sons first understanding his
kingdom wa ju.t over the line
in Mason county. 1t Gems,
howevevcr, that the middle of the
channel IS counted as the dividing
line in the bays of Puget Sound. and
by this Brunson's kingdom is in
Thurston count. Tho question Of
taxation is now in dispute. Brun-
sol refused to pay his poll tax to
Mason county on the ground that his
island was not subject to any gov
ernment and that he was literally a
law unto himself This seems to be
the generally accepted view of the
case. Some OF his neighbors joked
him about his principality, and he
remarked that he HAD good notion
to run up the British flag and take
possession in the name of Queen
Victoria 1t has been suggested
that if he should sell whisky within
the borders of his king ON he would
, soon find out who owned the island.
Since he pays no taxes his right to
vote is called in question. Accord
/ ing to latest accounts Brunson was
disposed to favor Thurston county
with his vote. The case is quito in
teresting and has provoked no little
discussion among the inhabitants OF
/ the sound.
