The drummer had told q commercial
story and the dentist, who had been
extracting much pleasure therefrom,
followed with q professional yarn.
AT one time in my early practice in
a country town. he said, "there came
TO me a very nervous woman to have
tooth extracted She carried on so
that l could scarcely get her into the
chair, and as soon as put the forceps
near her mouth she screamed and
bounced around so | couldn't do any
thing with her. After two or three
visits, each worse than the other, sug-
gested that take her to the nearest
largest town, where dentist admins
tered gas.
"Well, the tooth hurt her so that at
last she consented, and l took her there
about twenty-five miies-by rail. /
went armed with pair of forccps, as
matter of habit. and when we got to
the place and she saw the gas bag and
the other appliances she had them
worse than before and had to give it
up and take her back home. / was
thoroughly provoked, and felt like tax
ing club TO her, but she had money
and was paying for her foolishness, so
tried to restrain my feelings.
About ten mil out from town. as
the train was plugging along about 20
miles an hour, and she was holding her
jaw and was holding mine in the seat
! beside me, we struck a broken rail. and
the last thing l knew we were rolling
down an embankment and being piled
up at the bottom in q very promiscu-
Gus fashion. don't know how it came
about, but | wasn't hurt much, and
when nv senses were fully restored
dragged my patient through window
and laid her on q bank nearby. She
was pretty badly bruised, and had
been Knocked senseless, and as | was
endeavoring to restore her brilliant
thought occurred to one.
'The next moment had out my for.
ceps and the next l had out the con,
founded tooth. Two hours later one OF
the physicians who had been summon
ed had restored her to consciousness,
and, as she opened her eyes and saw
me standing by her side, she clapped
her hand to her jaw and exclaimed
"Oh, doctor, | knew it would be ter
rible, but didn't think it would be 50
| ad as that. However, though, it is
cut at last"
"Then she went to sleep and it was a
week before she knew the real facts in
the case"
''Did she pay you anything extra p

"No," smiled the dentist, "but the
railroad company did -S5000-and

AClerryman's Mystery.

Methodist church in Eastnort, L. J., ha;
resigned d and leio for parts III known
The pastors departure is the result O
the congregations expressed wish thai
he retire from the church.
Mr.. Day vas beloved by the mem
ers of the church, and when, early in
June, h announced that he was to be
married in short time, his frienf S
were pleased. The ceremony took
place on June 20, at Pound Rid ;e, n.
Y, the bride being Miss HATTIE f.
Fancher, daughter of Mrs. George \.
Fancher of that place.
1t was announced that the pastor
would return with his bride June 22
Extensive preparations were made 10
give them hearty welcome home. A
large tent was erected, music engaged,
and collation. prepared by the women
of the church. There was q crowd OF
friends at the railroad station to meet
the happy couple. When the train
rolled in, the pastor appeared alone.
Instead of happy bridegroom, the
crowd met man so changed in appear
ance as TO be hardly recognizable.
Many questions were asked, but Mr..
Day replied that the marriage had not
taken place. The latter assertion he
atterward denied, but there were sew
cral persons present who claimed the
pastor did make the statement that the
ceremony had not been performed.
Rev. Mr.. Day at first refused to make
any statement, but the following sun
day he said from the pulpit that he had
been the victim of false and damaging
stories, that had caused his intended
bride to refuse to become his wife. This
satisfied the congregation, and sympa-
thy was expressed on all sides for the
pastor.
The village was later startled by an
interview with Miss Fancher published
in the newspapers. The young woman
stoutly asserted that the ceremony had
been performed in her fathers house
on the date set for it by Rev. III. ;.
Hull, of fCanarsie. She contended that
she would never live with her husband,
and should endeavor to secure sepa-
ration from him. She spoke of him in
bitter terms.
The morning after the ceremony she
told her mother she would not live with
her husband. She would give no cX-
PLANTATION to others. Miss Fancher's
side OF the case raised commotion in
pastor Days church. He protessed to
be entirely ignorant of his wife's refusal
to live with him.
The congregation determined to
learn the secret of the trouble, and the
two Oldest members of the church were
appointed committee to visit Pound
Ridge. The committee made the jour
uey and returned, but no public state
ment has been made of the result OF
their trip. The feeling against the
pastor gradually turned, and he was
given to understand a short time ago
that his resignation would be accept
able.
Rev. Mr.. Day, is fine athleticap
pearing young man. He has been III

urging Miss Fancher to become his
wife, owing to the annoying attentions
forced upon him by young woman
member of his flock. He was engaged
to Miss Fancher when he come TO East
port, but it was not known until the
announcement of his approaching mar
riage was made.
