Pulling a Tooth by "Mae,c."


One OF the guests of the Briggs
House yesterday was complaining OF
an aching tooth and inquired at the
,ffice where he could hnd a good den
tisN He secured the information
and went out to find relief, when
proprietor DE Witt smiled at q funny
reminlscence Il shall never forget
a toothpulling incident that occurred
when ] was q youngster," he re-
marked. my uRcle, who was ply
iician, had a great, big, stalwart
colored man for a servant. His name
was Buck, and one day he went into
his masters once and complained
that one Of his teeth was nearly kill
ing him. My uncle advised him 10

lected. Nav, indeedy, boss, he ex-
claimed, hit wud dess fairly kill me
ter bab dis toof tucked out. Ny
uncle then tod him that be would
fix it for him by using little magic.
Buck was equipped with all the
superstition OF his race, and he read
lily reQuiesced in the suggestion, for
he thought doctor could do any
thing. The old gentlemen took the
small string from his violin and max.
ing a loop dropped IL over Bucks
aching tooth and drew 1t taunt.
Then he led Buck out TO the hitch
ing. post and made him stand on his
tip toes, which brought his eyes on a
level with the top OF the post, and
tied the catgut around 1t. Upon
the fiat surface Of the top he poured
some gunpowder, and then solemnly
warning Buck not to move he re-
turned to the house. Suddenly he
came running out of the kitchen door
with a glowing coal Of fire held in a
pair OF tongs Buck saw him coming
and backed for all he was worth.
But he left that tooth In front of

A Gratifying Decrease in the Number
and Importance of Failures.
r. G. Dun Il Cos. Weekly Review OF

Improvement in business multiply, but
confidence in future improvement does not
seem TO increase. There is more business
and larger production by industries, for
the season has arrived when greater activity
IL necessary if dealers stocks are TO be re.
plenished and those who cannot make CAL
culations beyond lew months are the more
anxious to crowd as much trade as they
safely can into those months. In some
branches Of distribution. however, there are
indications of q diminishing demand for
goods and the evident preference 10 medium
and low priced articles, with the known re-
duction in wages and family expendii ures,
lead many TO feel SEINE hat less confident
that business will soon recover its former
volume. The undertakings beyond short
time are not made with great freedom and
in spite OF larger demand the prices OF
manufactured goods tend downward.
The most distinct gain is in iron and steel
manufacture. The output OF pig iron March

cent during the month, although 1t is still
37,e per cent less than a year ago. Yet
prices are lower, steel billeis being 10 25 at
PIttsburg and plates l,15 at Philadelphia, the
lowest ever known.
Breadstufis and oils have been stronger,
provisions weaker and cotton hesitates.
The exports for the last four weeks were

decrease in imports for February was 81 per

Few people seem to give any
thought 10 the appropriateness OF
food to the season OF the year. says
the New York Ledger. With the
coming cold weather many people re-
main a great deal indoors, occupying
rooms which are often kept at a high
temperature and with, OF course,
very much less fresh air than they
are accustomed To during warm
weather. This has a tendency TO
create a feverish condition OF the
system that should be counteracted
by a free indulgence in fruits Of all
available sorts.
For such purposes there is nothing
better than good apples eaten raw.
II children were permitted to eat all
the fresh apples they craved through
out the winter there would be fewer
diseases and deaths; while for adults,
those who are OF fairly quiet habits
and who remain indoors great deal,
there is nothing in the whole range
Of food products as useful.
1t is claimed that severe cases OF
gout and other rheumatic difficulties
may be entirely cured by the free use
OF apples. In the absence Of apples,
raw potatoes, eaten with little salt,
are most excellent corrective OF bad
humors. An eminent lawyer OF this
country claims to owe his excellent
health largely 10 the habit OF eating
raw potatoes with salt Whenever
he feels feverish or out OF condition
this is his medicine, and for years he
has taken no other.
Oranges, lemons grape fruit, pine.
apples in their season, and all acid
fruits, are valuable for people OF sed-
entary habits. Almost all persons

Abilene Flour q Favorite.

J. q. Thomas, junction City
merchant has been criticised in the
papers for selling Abilene -four when
Junction City has mills Of It's own and
comes back at these directors with u
card in the Union. He says; Il
have no apology to make for handling
Abilene flour. After trouble with
local mills we went TO the Abilene
Mill %Eleyator Co. From July lst,
1892, TO Jan. LIST, 1894, we handled
over forty cars Of the Abilene brand.
In other words, we had built up an
immense -four trade. During the
above dates we did not handle any
but the Abilene -four. But as soon as
the Tyler mill started we began
handling their flour, and have con-
tinued to do SO. We have Away tried
to be fair with Tyler & Co., as they
themselves will testify. TO any one
who will give the subject moments
thought, it will be easy to see why we
still hold to the Abilene flour. First,
our selling forty cars Of the Abilene
manufacture in two and a half years
is positive proof that the flour gives
satisfaction. Second, II we should
drop Abilene -four, some Of our
competitors would have II in less
than iorty-eight hours. We know
this to be true, as two Of our best
merchants have tried to buy flour
from the Abilene Mill Il Elevator Co.
during the pastyear. No, Mr.. Union,
we have a good thing and expect to
keep it, Abilene flour appears to be
a prime fayorite away from home as
well as In this city.

MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES.
Teachers Cannot Keep School With
out Proper Credentials.

State Superintendent Gaines has
issued a decision upon a point Of dis
trict school management that will be
Of general interest and is very sensi-
Bile one. Schoolboards have often
engaged teachers who had no ccrtiti-
Gates at the beginning of school, hav-
ing failed in the summer examinations,
and depended upon the October exam
nation to secure the needed docu-
ment, in the meanwhile getting a
"pcrmit,' This Is an obvious unfair
ness to the teachers who had secured
certificates. Supt. Gaines decision
covers cities Of the third class and all
country districts and is very strict in
its terms. 1t is as follows;
Where Illegal teachers are en-
ployed in cities of the third class, the
district cannot draw on the State fund
for the pupils enrolled or should be
enrolled in rooms taught by such
Illegal teachers. Furthermore, the
district board has no authority in law
to hire such teachers and cannot leg
ally pay them. This latter point has
never been settled by the courts Of
our State, but it seems to me that II
the district board can hire illegal
teachers and pay them outof the pub
lie funds all the laws passed by the
legislature pertaining to the licensing
Of teachers is farce. am Of the
opinion further that where a district
board wilfully employs an Illegal
teacher and pays the same out Of the
public fund that an action can be
brought against the district board for
Incorporating the funds at their
disposal.
This will do away with such a GUS
tom and those teachers who have
laborcd for and secured certificates
will not be handicapped by such UNI
usual advantages heretofore held by
those who had not certificates. 1t
will also remove from the school
rooms those persons disqualified by
reason Of their own failure to pass the
regular examinations. The next re-
form should be in the direction Of
fairer examinations.

he set about converting him to
Christianity. A long friendly con
troversy by letter took place in which
quotations from the bible were freely
used. Finally Wise in reply to a
quotation by Rev. Vennum, wrote a
verse from the bible on a postal card
and sent it to the reverend gentleman
who got very wrathy and caused
Wise's arrest. The case is a unique
