One morning in Silver Ranch a wild yell
was heard at the far end OF the street,
and the anxious inhabitants who mo-
men6arily poked out their heads saw Ter
ranteler Tom on his pony dashing up the
street diseharging 3 revolver from each
hand. The heads disappeared, and it was
deserted street, with but one inhabitant.
That temporary solid citizen was the afore-
said 7. Tom, Esq. A sign staid his wild
night. Upon that sign was the inscrip-
ton, "Dr. Hopkins Surgeon Dentist
When the reliable old citizens cautious
~ looked out and saw the pony in froEs
OF the dentists, they knew Tom had the
toothache and realized that there was fun
ahead. or course they knew he'd only
shoot the dentist and wind mp with a
friendly drink all around, so they gather
ed around the doors and windows of the
tooth pulling shop to see If Toms hand
was just as steady as ever. Tom opened
the conversation as follows:
You long legged grasshopper, pull this
tooth and be as quick as lightning and
gentle as zephyr
"All right Sit down in that chair, and
I'll 'yank' it out for you.''
Tom leaned back in the chair, with q
cooked revolver in each hand, and replied:
You jest get the drop on that tooth
how, or I'll yank you. -
DIR. Hopkins had a chair fixed for just
such customers. He had heavy galvanic
battery under the seat which could throw
circuit heavy enough to paralyze Jum-
DO, and he just quietly turned a knob on
Terranteler Tom and walked around and
took the pistols out of his hands. Tom
writhed as though he were fastened to the
chair of the inquisition. His eyes stood
out like doorknobs. He tried to yell, but
no sound escaped his lips. It was some
thing new to Tom. He didn't understand
it. He had never heard of galvanic bat
terry, and he thought he was going to die.
Quickly the dentist pulled the tooth, took
the remaining cartridges out of Tom s re-
volvers, and then gradually letting up on
the battery he said cheerfulIy:
Tooth is out, sir. Five dollars, please
What in all the tarnal grizzlies and
wildcats was the matter with me while
you was pulling that tooth?"
'Oh, your nerves just gave way little
That's the way with most every body when
they get in dentists chair
Tom was so ashamed to think his nerves
had given way that he paid the dentist,
invited all hands to drink and rode off as
gentle as lamb, thinking for the first
time in his life that he had mistaken his
vocation and ought to enter the ministry.

cavalry down in hurry and the dis
turbers were hustled back to the fort.

Oil or Gasoline Stoves.

Lucy, Caledonia, N. Y. ,on page
II of issue OF March 2S, wants to
know which is best for household
use, oil or gasoline stoves.
There are thousands of oil and
gasoline stoves now in use in this
country. At the prices of last
year either was cheaper than wood
or coal and much better for sum-
iner use. The oil stoves now in
use were bought several years ago
but none are now being sold, ex-
cept as heaters for warming tenn
porarily somo not much used
room.
The stoves now sold for cooking
purposes are all gasoline burners
and are considered much safer
and more convenient than the oil
stoves. The older style gasoline
stoves required that little of the
fuel be let down into a small dish
under the burner and fired, and
this by burning would heat the
generator so that when opened
the gasoline coming into it would
be vaporized and mixing with the
air would burn. These worked
very well, but the burner became
more or less clogged with the
SCOT formed by the burning gaso-
line and required much attention
and often cleaning.
The newer gasoline stoves are
made so that the fluid is allowed
to drop upon brass plate pune
tured full of holes and to come
in contact with the air where il
vaporizes, and the yapor being
heavier than air settles down
through tube or conductor into
a gas holder where it mixes with
air and is forced up through a
steel disc sawed full of very small
openings, where it is ignited and
burns. These openings are SO
small that the fame cannot pass
down into the holder, and as the
gasoline is far away from the
flame and only passes out of the
holder in single drops they are per.
fectly safe--with this caution, the
can or holder should never be filled
any place near the fire OF lighted
lamp, nor should the large can OF
barrel in which it is stored be
| placed in the cellar OF other con-
fined room.
We have used several makes o.
stoves in my family, and consider
the one now made and called
} New Process" by far the bes
one made. For the past two
years more of that make hay,
been sold in this country than o
all other kinds combined.
