IT WAS NOT A MIRACLE
The Pain In a Tooth stopped and the
Cavity Disappeared

Ndtit9 Unsupported $50
A short time ago. some Brooklyn peo-
Pile were discussing "isms" Of various
kinds, from which they branched off
into miracles. One of them tod the
following story:
Speaking of miracles, you all know
Mrs. S, and you all know that she's
a believer in Christian science. year
or so ago Mrs. s. was troubled with
most exerueiating toothaehe, and was
using various toothaehe remedies 10 al.
lay the pain. One of her friends. willing
to laugh a little at her expense, said.
How can you have the toothaeheY
Why don't you deny the ache and the
cavity and all the rest of the business
There is no such thing in what you pro-
fess to believe as pain. Deny the error
and it will flee from you
Far from being angry at this, Mrs
S thanked her friend for bringing
her back to her principles and said she
would deny the pain, the cavity and all
the rest of it. The toothaeh passed
eway and time passed on until neaflya
year had passed, when the man who had
laughed at the Christian science asked
her one evening how her toothaehe was.
She said she did not know. She had de-
MED the ache and the cavity and all the
other errors and she had really been
freed from her pain, since which time
she had thought little or nothing CT the
cavity Then she took handglass and
looked for the cavity. 1t was gone.
There was a solid. sound tooth in the
place of the decayed one of the year be-
fore"
There was doubter present who
walked the earth in the shape of aD, D.
S. AT this moment the doctor of dental
surgery came in the story with the re-
mark: "Oh, yes; there are a numbero OF
such instances. | have met them in my
practice; so have most dentists. But
it is a perfectly natural operation. The
medicine that your friend put in her
tooth most likely allayed the pain, pos
sibly killed the nerve, so she had no
occasion to think of her tooth. There
is a calcareous deposit in the saliva that
forms what is commonly known as tar
tar on the teeth. People usually keep
the teeth freed from this deposit, Butt
have met with number of instances
where. as in the case of Mrs. S., the
calcareous matter was deposited In
cavity, not disturbed, and by and by u
Il
completely filed the hole. When en-
counter one of these operations in ma.
lures dentistry | always leave itaione'

Dancing skeletons Killed Him.

A remarkable cause of death from
fright was the case of the Dutch paint
er Poutman. He was at work in his
studio, where there was a number of
deaths heads and skeletons, when he
happened to fall asleep. During his
sleep there was n slight shock of earth
quake, and when he woke up suddenly
he saw the skeletons and skulls dane
ing around in the greatest confusion.
He at once became panic-stricken, and
rushed across the room and threw him
self out of the window on the pavement
below. He died in a few days after,
not from injuries received in the fall,
but from the nervous shock given by
the dancing skeletons, though the cause
Of the festiyity was explained to him.

zone More Female Letter.

"But you recolleet, Rufus, what the
poet says-when troubles come they
come not like the gentle April showers,
but in great gobs and sluiees.

perfect peace was oncst more in the
saddle, bless goodness another cloud

recessin and everybody had took out
to feed. Squire Blanton and his good
wife, Miss Greasy, had jined in the
general spread lookin as prosperous
like and pleasant as pair of mellow
maypops. But now presently Miss
Greasy she went foolin and fumblin
around in the squire's coat pockets
huntin for a hankercher, when all of a
student she jumped and screamed like
she was snake bit. Everybody wanted
TO know what in all the round created
world was the matter. and it didn't
take so very long to find out. Miss
Greasy she had found another one of
them little female letters. 1t was to
the squire. 1t was fixed up powerful
like the Wilder Milford's handwrite,
and ii was likewise also signed 'Loy-
ingly Yours, Mite" They thought at
first that Miss Greasy would faint
away, but she soon recovered and
opened on the squire. She read some
little snatches from the letter out
loud right there in the crowd and then
she fairly seorched the air with her
opinions of old Steve and the wilder.
Squire Bianton he prayed and he
begged, and he begged and he prayed.

Right now there IS more fusion and
confusion in the politics of this country
than I have ever saw before in my day
and generation. The democrats have
fused with some of the third party. and
some OF the third party has fused with
scalawags and niggers, and there you
are. as the man SAYS in the play.
Ne and mother and the children
turned out and took in one of them
fusion meetins last week. wherein
mainest question seemed to be whether
it is better TO hold the hand We have got
or draw TO others which we know not
of. But at any rates, in the general
"eonfusionmentn l fused with crowd
Of good women and got on the outside
Of monstrons good dinner.
As 10 politics. | reckon it maybe
niough. be better for me to stay out
and let the other fellows settle the
question.
Oncst upon time I was maxim a
horseback trip through Arkansas to
the Red River country of Texas. It was
late into the shank of the evenin. The
weather was tremendous cold, and
MAS SO starYin honsry till even to my
socks didn't fit comfortable. A sud-
dent bend in the road brought me in
sight of big log house with board
and lodgin' sign out. the very sight Of
which made my heart feel whole lot
lighter.
When l rid up couldn't see Twin
soul, but l heard a great rucus goin on
in the house. l hollered two or three
times at the top of my voice before
got hearin. Then a man opened the
shutter and poked his head out of a
window. His face was scratched and
bloody and he didn't have ON any
clothes 10 speak of.
Gold and tired and hongry-I would
love to find out who is runnin this
house" says I.
well, dadblame it, stranger" says
the man at the window, you will have
to wait and see Me and the old lady
are now tryin to settle that very pint"
So in regards to the great game of
American politics. A mighty rucus is
now goin ON, and l will have to wait
till the people fight it out.
