Judge Greer's Experience with the Up to-
Date ID -ntist.
From the Paducah Standard.
A good story is told of Judge w. d.
Greer, a prominent lawyer of Paducah.
Once duringva visit to st. Louis he had
a severe attack of toothache. He
sought a dentists Office and was met
by young man who was scrupulously
neat and clean. The latter bowed SUI
avely and the judge began:
Il believe you profess to be able to
extract teeth without pain?"
Yes, sir" was the reply, land If /
don't do IL I'll refund the money"
The judge was seated in the operat-
ing chair, and the last thing he remem-
bers was the dentist inserting a small
tube in his mouth. He got a dose of
gas and became unconscious. When he
came to the young man was under a
table, his erstwhile spotless shirt and
collar covered with blood and his
clothes torn up almost beyond recogni-
ton. He was desperately waving the
Judge off, saying all the while: Get
out of here! Get out of herer'
He seemed very anxious to have the
judge get out, but he couldn't be in
duced TO leave his retreat from under
the table.
why, young man. what's the mat
ter? asked the judge, who didn't I'M
derstand the situation. in surprise. IF
I've done anything I'm willing TO pay
for IL"
The young man obtruded his head for
a moment, glanced reproachfully about
at the demolished furniture and his
own sorry plight. wavered for a mo
ment and then exclaimed: PAY HI!

influence of the gas. cleaned out the es-

Women should not work there at

the second an ethical one. We have

whilst men, doing precisely the same

nation is unfair to the women, and the
fact that they engage in this work at

the residence Of King Oswald of
Northumbria, and Wigan's women are
famous in history for their gallant
fight against the invading Norsemen.
AS the living present has more inter-
est than the dead past for the painting
world of today L reminded Mr.. Woods
that L should like to talk with him
about the condition of the miners in
the far-famed coal pits of those parts.
In answer to question, Mr. Woods,
taking up with obvious relish sub
ject with which he is very familiar,
said:
'The condition Of the miners is very
unsatisfactory. They are paid by re-
suits. Sometimes their wages are
reduced by reason Of circumstances
over which they have no control. From
one cause or another the amount paid
per man per day varies from Is Cd to
los. Altogether there is too much hap
hazard about it. I am we'll aware that
men in straight places; that is, in
places where there are no geological
difficulties, can make fair wages pro-
vided they are allowed to work all the
time. But for the past three years
the average number of days worked
has not been more than three each
week"
THE DANGERS OF THE MINES.
Is coal mining dangerous? Mr..
Woods answered my question with an
emphatic yes. Goal mining" he con-
tinued, as the most dangerous work
L., q

the increase Of scientific knowledge
have somewhat diminished the num-
Der of deaths and hindered accidents,
yet the work is Of its very nature dan

consideration In estimating the wages
Of the men,"
FEMALE GOLFERS.
A time was when women used to
work side by side with men down In
the coal pits But the law has long
since prohibited this At present their
labor is over ground and the female
workers are known as pit-brow girls.
They say they like their work. and no
doubt it is more healthful than work in
the mills The mill girls are all sick
lied Ger with the pale cast peculiar to
indoor employment. The pit-brow
girls though blackened as if they were
to play the part Of negro MINISTRIES,
show strong frames and their rich. red
lips peer out beyond their coal-smeared
cheeks They wear pantaloons. which
stop about the calves of the legs. Over
these short trousers the women work
ers wear a still more abbreviated
dress. Altogether, the costume, If seen
unbegrimed with coal dust, bears
close resemblance to that worn by the
female cyclist Of today.
