COULDN'T BLK THAT DENTIST.
A Customer Induced to Settle by the
Strategy of "a Tooth Doctor

A customer Induced to settle by the
Strategy of IA Tooth Doctor.
A Superior street dentist smiled
when he told of his experience in deal
ing with large and crafty customer.
In the absence of the dentist, date
was arranged by the customer with
the custodian of the business docket
for a goodsized job of dentistry. When
the appointed day came he duly APP
peared and took the chair. For two
hours the buzz saw, mallet and file did
hard service. Then the electric bat
terry was called into play and one big
molar succumbed. Finally the job
was finished and the chair vacated.
Its recent occupant turned toward the
door, catching his hat from the hook
as he went.
"Aud the money!" inquired the den
fist.
Haven't any," was the gruff re-
Spouse. "You can charge it"
The dentist moved about in sus.
pense for a moment, and then said, in
"A measured tone: "See here. my friend
we are strangers. Cash is my rule,
and it is the only thing that goes"
Exactly" responded the customer
remembering the pain he had just en-
dured, "but what are you going to dc
about it?"
The dentist was disconnected. His
customer had now reached the door. A
happy thought struck him. Just a
moment he called out. "Im sorry,
but | left one of those nerves exposed.
VIII you just sit down again, please?''
The remark was uttered in such Il
sincere manner that the man did not
hesitate in taking the chair. No
sooner had he done so than he began
to suspect that all was not right. A
sense of vacancy stole over him in the
region of one of his teeth, and in a
moment the nerve began to dance.
The dentist had removed the filling.
What are you doing anyway" he
managed to mutter as the workman
proceeded.
"Oh, nothing" was the reply
Might as well save the filings, ! sup
pose. There, does that hurt you? Toe
bad
The man clinched his fist and made g
| spasmodic effort to release himself. He
found that he had been made fast to the
chair with a strap. He grew hot anC
drops of sweat appeared on his fore
head and nose.
How much is this bill?" he finally
inquired
Regular Job ten dollars, extras fiv;
dollars, Oh, about fifteen dollars,
guess, was the cheerful response.
Want to get rich quick, don't you
Put up block on Euclid avenue, Ell
Well, I'll pay it, but I'll not botheryo1
again. The next time I'll go to a gen
tleman."
Not until the money was CAREFUL,
slowed away in the dentists yes
pocket was the filling replaced and tn
strap loosened. The two then parte,
never again to mset.-Clevelan

ONLY A WOMAN.


She was only woman, with woman's heart.
Who patiently, lovingly, In paths apart
From the great world, with Its tumult and
strife,
wrought out the duties Of mother and wife.
She sought neither wealth nor titles OF fame,
But unselhshly, lived each day as 1t came
unassuming and modest her name was not
known;
But her power was felt by Its pureness alone
No toll for her loved ones she deemed too Sc.
we're;
She shared every sorrow, she Gained every
fear.
She frightened each joy, she lessened each
pain
And no one in need OF her sought her in vain
Though heart was oft weary, she asked no re-
preve,
So long as for others she good might achieve
: She made OF her home blssful retreat
For world-wearied husband and children's
tired feet
Her face was not beautiful save with the grace
Which beautiful soul can fail not to trace
Hands girlish ana white grew blue-veined and
chin
But in labors of love they had sanctifed been;
Steps bounding and joyous grew feeble and
slow,
But they never had faltered through veal or
through woe
Unselhsh pure, womanly, noble and true,
Her life held grandeur which only God knew
Long years passed away, then village bel!
tolled
And kisses, unanswered, were pressed on lips
cold;
Hands, wearied at last, were folded for aye,
Damp locks were put back from a forehead of
clay
Then new grave was made meath flowers on
the hill,
And the mothers heart lay all pulseless and
still
No marble vault there no monument tall,
But old and young. said: "She cared for us
all"
Her love was her life; to It's altar she brought
All her beauty of soul and the power of
thought
AS woman, wife, mother, she did what she
could
To further the veal of earths grand brother
hood
No nodding of plumes nor of trapplngs so gay,
Told Of honor or fame as they laid her away,
But the deeds Of her life were borne up above,
And the angels of God sang an anthem OF love.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Anna w. Williams, whose profile
graces the silver dollar, is the teacher
of kindergarten philosophy in the Phil
adelphia Normal school She is also
lecturer of considera popularity,
and has written many papers on Froe-
bel and his doctrines.
Mr.. Munro Ferguson, according to
a Scotch newspaper, said that after
prodding Mr.. Gladstone on the subject,
the ex-premier said; my dear sir,
might as well undertake to replace the
first man in the garden of Eden as to
carry home rule for Scotland"
Only one man in the history of the
senate, Thomas Ii. Benton, Of Mis-
souri,. served longer than Justin s.
Morrill,, of Vermont, who has been
member of that body nearly thirty
years. Benton was elected October 2,
1920, and retired March 4, 1851.
Thomas Carlyle once told young
college graduate in the presence of
Gen. j. G. Wilson, "better continue at

Dan Beard the artist, probably did
not work his singletax sympathies into

book. He distributed them plentifully
through his illustrations to Mark

saying: 81 was netting for firefies and

Lewis Morris, one of the most
skillful vcrsifers and accomplished
literary students of England, says:
There never was better poetry than
now, since Shakespeare. 1t is stupid
and ignorant cry that poetry is dead.
1t is not dead, and can not die so long
as human nature, limited in ltnowl
edge, is always reaching EDWARDS to-
ward the unseen"
Although Verdi is eighty, he is not
the patriarch of musical composers, as
many people think him. That honor
belongs to Ambrose Thomas, composer
of "Mignon" and Hamlet" who was
born in 1911, and is consequently three
years the senior of Verdi. Auber lived
to be eighty-nine, and Mr. Thomas is
so well preserved veteran that there
is a prospect of his reaching that great
age.

BEGINNING OF NOBILITY.
The Humble Ancestry of Some of Eng
lands Peers.

The Humble Ancestry of Some of Eng
lands Peers.
Some of the noble houses of Eng
which, however, are none the worse
for it in the present generation-have
had very humble, if not discreditable,
beginnings. An ancestor of the earl of
Ferrers was hanged for murder at Ty-
burn. The father of the first earl of
Lonsdale, and ancestor of the late
governor general of Canada, James
Lowther, was a miser celebrated in
English story.
At time when his income was about
forty thousand pounds year, Lowther
was in the habit of dining at one Of
the cheapest and obscurest eating
houses in London. He visited this
place, as he supposed, ''incog;" but
having left it in high dudgeon because
the price of certain articles had been
advanced one farthing on the bill of
fare, he was astonished to find himself
lampooned soon afterward as Far
thing Jimmy"
A striking ca Sc was that of the house
Of Audley, now extinct The father of
the first Lord Audley was one Philip
Thicknesse The son having got on
famously in the world, the neer-do-
well father troubled him so often for
money that he at last refused to give
any.
Thereupon the old man proceeded to
hire a cobblers shop in London near
his sons mansion, and above the door
caused to be painted in large letters

They admired the group very

pictures taken in the same style
when home in Lexington. The
plan was carried into execution
recently and the photographer
proudly placed one Of the pictures
in his show case. 1t did not stay
there long. The artist had used
