Disappointed.

A Presbyterian minister in one of the
suburbs of Cincinnati has bright and
mischievous young son. The lad had
suffered from the toothache, and all the
household remedies had been tried in
vain. AS last resort his father re-
solved to take him to the dentist ON the
following day and have the tooth re-
moved.
The boy, on being informed of this.
offered few objections, but, finding
that they were overruled, he decided to
make the best of it.
With an ingenuity of Tom Sawyer
he made himself hero among hts COM
panions Great were the tales he told
them of the strength that would be nee
essary to remove that small ''baby
tooth . How the dentist would be COM
PEELED to ''use both his hands, and prob
ably call in his assistant.
The eventful hour at last arrived, and
the boy seated himself in the chair and
took a firm grip on each arm.
The dentist looked at the tooth, smiled,
and taking up d small steel instrument
literally pried the little tooth out.
Our young hero looked at the tooth,
at the dentist, at his laughing father
and then ''got mad. " Anger, disap-
pointment and disgust were plainly de-
picted on his countenance. Not ques-
tion would he answer. He quietly
walked over to the other side of the
room and put on his hat and overcoat.
His perplexed father followed him
and put the fatal question, my son,
did it hurt you?''
That was too much for the little fell
low, and, with two big, angry tears
rolling down his cheeks, he replied:
''Hurti Hurtl Why, he didn't pull my
tooth out He just took it out with a
| tack litter. ''-Cincinnati Tribune

SAYS IT is REVENGE.
Senator Rogers Declares Charges
Against Him Are That Nature.
HI WILL FIGHT THEM TO THE END.

He BIames the Starting OF the story
Dawes Whom He Asked Questions
About Law.
State Senator William Rogers is here
today and he says he proposes to fight to
a finish the charges ma de against him by
Cy Leland, which have been filed with
Governor Morrill, Senator Rogers saws
Cy Leland's statement that they have not
had a con versation this year is true, but
he says it is also true that the charges
were filed against him as revenge for his
having defeated the efforts to place the
big appropriations for new state build
ings in the hands of the board of public
works.
Senator Rogers says he worked in har :
mony with the suggestions made by
Governor Morrill, in his message when
he refused to perpetuate the board of
public works by placing the big appro-
priations at its disposal
Governor Morrill, recommended that
the public works board be abolished and
when that could not be done Senator
Rogers secured the united support of the
senate to place the appropriations at the
disposal of other boards.
After the senate had lined up in sup
port of this action Governor Morrill, re-
QU0SLCQ O6uaLOE hO20TS 10 ESCSQ0 IEOLu
the position he had taken but it was then
too late and the first plans were carried
out much to the disgust of the politicians
who were looking after the board of
public works
Senator Rogers declares that he took
liquor as a medicine on the advice of
his physician, during the legislature,
but he denies that he was at any
time so much under the influence of
liquor that he was unable to perform his
duties and the friends of the state house
appropriation committee, who were with
Senator Rogers most of the time during
the last three weeks of the session, say
that the charges OF drunkenness are
false.
In reference to the charge that he was
drunk and used profane and indecent
language in the presence of ladies at the
Chesterfield hotel on March 10,
Senator Rogers says: THAT is
one of Dawes stories. Dawes had
said, or at least l heard that he had
said, that l was the fellow he was laying
for We happened to be at the same
table at dinner that day, and had a good
deal of fun asking Dawes questions of
law He got mad and refused to answer
them, but l did not stop asking him
questions. l was sober as any man, but
l must confess that l did talk rather loud
as l usually do, and l don't wonder that
Dawes was worried"

Preliminary Arrangements to be Made
and Officers selected.
The legislative committee which was
recently appointed to investigate the
charges against Warden Chase of the
penitentiary is holding a meeting in To
peka this afternoon. The committee
will, before it adjourns, select its SER
geant at arms and arrange for beginning
the investigation. 7. H. Black the big
man who used to work in the peniten-
tiary mines is backed by the governor
and Cy Leland for sergeant at arms for
the reason, it is said, that he acted as a
body guard to Cyrus Corning during the
last camp align.
Chairman Leland says Cy Corning al
ways felt safe when Black was sent out
with him to hold meeting. Black will
be one of the most important witnesses
against Chase although he did not swear
to the charges which were filed with the
governor There are several other can
didates for sergeant alarms and it may
be that Black won't get the job.
The members of this committee are
Senators Parker and Taylor and Repre-
sentatives Caldwell of Douglas, Bone of
Clark and Wilson of Barber.
