fist Had Bargained For.
A good story is told of Judge w. d.
Greer, a prominent lawyer of Paducah,
says the Paducah Standard. Once dur
ing a visit to st. Louis he had a severe
attack of toothache. He sought a den
lists office and was met by a young
man who was %scrupulously neat and
clean. The latter bowed suavely and
the judge began:
L believe you profess to be able to
extract teeth without pain?'
Eyes, sir" was the reply, "and IL I
don't do it I'll refund your 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 recognition. He was
desperately waving the judge off, say
ing all the while: Get out of here!
Get out of here!w
He seemed very anxious to have the
judge get out but he couldn't be in
duced to leave his retreat under the
table.
why, young man, what's the mat
ter?' asked the judge, who didn't UNI
derstand the situation, in surprise. IF
I've done anything I'm willing to pay
for it."
The young man obtruded his head
for a moment, glanced reproachfully
about at the demolished furniture and
his own sorry plight, wavered for a
moment and then exclaimed: "Pay! You
get out of here!'
It seemed that the judge under the
influence of the gas had cleaned out
the establishment and the dentist
didn't get the tooth, either.

Went Into the Ring Smiling and
Came Out Trembling.

San Francisco, Jun 25-That the peo-
pie OF this city have lost none OF their
old time interest in Jim Corbett received
ample demonstration last night, when
the crowd began to assemble to witness
his four-round contest with Tom
Sharkey. Every seat in the Mechanics
Pavilion, which holds 10000 people, was
occupied. Corbett stock rose rapidly in
public appreciation several hours be-
fore the time set for the contest to take
place. odds of 10 to had been laid that
the champion would not be able TO knock
the Marine" out in four rounds. Then
Corbett money began TO roll in In large
bundles, and IL was difficult TO find men
TO back Sharkey at even money.
Corbett and Sharkey stepped into the
ring at 10:t0. Corbett was seconded by
Billy Delaney and George Green; Shar-
keys seconds were Tom McGrath and
Danny Needham. Frapk Carr was chosen
referee.
When Corbett entered the ring. the vast
crowd rose TO it's feet and cheered for sew
eral minutes. The men shook hands
when the cheering subsided. and time
was called for the first round. Corbett

To clinch To keep the sailor from fighting.
II was the opinion Of all who saw the
fight that Sharkey more than held his
own, and was the fHeshef- -ef- the two at
the end of the contest. II is practically
a victory for Sharkey, who had to be
held by the police TO keep him from
going after Corbett. Sharkey after the
fight announced he would fight Corbett
to finish for $40 O00o a side.
The big crowd at the pavilion went
wild with excitement, and Sharkey was
loudly cheered.
The sailors adherents allege that Cor
bett himself gave the signal for police
interference when he found he was get
ting the worst Of it.

army to come out and parade and they

and the parade idea was abandoned The

After lengthy argument with the Cit

Maiden, on charge of breach of canoni-

married to Miss Derby of Boston. He
had been divorced from a former wife on

was not secured on canonical grounds,
