A Legend of Sozodont.

There lived little maiden, and her
Christian name was P0so,
And she had a little sweetheart. ana his
Christian name was SOzO;
And now, though sad the story, the truth
Must be confessed.
That Soz0's teeth and Soz0's breath were
Not the very best.
&c. when Sozo tried POso TO kiss. as
Daily was his won't
Poor Poso cried In sore distress,
''Oh Sozo. SOZODONT!"
Now Sozo uses SOZODONT, and Poso,
Kind and true,
Instead of screaming "SOZODONT," she
Cries out. "SoZ0 d0.''
When Loves Compact Is Con-
firmed
By that sweet seal, a kiss. II Is rendered still
sweeter If the young lady has been in the habit
OF using fragrant SOZODONT, the most popu-
lar, agreeable and deserving preparation for
the teeth that is Sold Every impurity on the
surface OF tile teeth Is removed by it, but with
out affecting, as many powders and tooth
washes do, the enamel OF the teeth. To retain
the chief beauty Of the mouth TO ripe old age,
use this antiseptic preparation daily. Be par
ucular to ask for SOZODONT aud take no
other dentifrice.

Pompousness of n Tardy Juror Rewarded
by the Court.
There are not few men who fancy
that, because they are persons of
wealth and consequence in commu.
nifty, they are exempt from the duties
and liabilities of the ordinary citizen.
A man of this sort was drawn to serve
upon jury, and did not appear when
his name was called in court The
court ordered that he be fined twenty
five dollars.
About half an hour afterward the
man appeared in the courtroom to
answer tardily to his name.
"You have been fined twenty-five
dollars for non-attendance," said the
judge.
but had a very important business
engagement, said the man.
did you suppose that an engage
ment would excuse you for not answer
ing the summons of the court?" asked
the judge, rather angrily.
The juror, who was pompous man
with an important air, began to grow
indignant at being addressed in this
way.
II would have your honor under
stand" he exclaimed, that am one
of the most prominent business men in
this communityw
"Oh! in that case" said the ldge,
quietly, you will be able to stand
larger fine. Mr.. Clerk, you will in
crease this gentleman's fine for nom
attendance to fifty dollars!"-Youth's
Companion.
