HELD DOWN BY a DENTIST.
Predicament Of ELan Whose Wheel Fled
with Thief.

with 8 Thief.
One day lately g. young man went to
a dentists Office in Kansas City to have
bridge, with some teeth hanging to it
attached to his upper jaw. He rode to
the building on bicycle, which he left
il the hall, and assembled to the fifth
floor in the elevator.
The dentists chair faced a window
which looked out upon Grand avenue
The dentist had filled up his mouth with
cement and was pressing it up into the
gum with his finger. The victim was
gazing out upon the street with a mar
tyr's expression on his face.
Suddenly the victim struggled to get
his head away from the grasp of the
dentist.
Ugh, ug-glug, STRENGTHENING
gug,'' he shouted, in a muf1ed voice.
The dentist thought the man in the
chair was having fit, and fearing that
be might swallow the cement, to say
nothing of several porcelain teeth
hacked with gold, and several hours
hard labor, he kept his finger in the VIC
TINS mouth and a silent struggle took
place. The man in the chair tried to
rise; the dentist, who is something of
an athlete, struggled to keep him down.
Ibis sort of thing went on for several
minutes until the dentist could feel that
the cement had hardened. Then he
took his finger out Of his victims mouth
and let him up.
Dad blame you," shouted the angry
victim. ''Why in Sam Hill cid you hold
me down that way for? Did Mt 1 tell
you [ wanted to get up"
Il thought you were having fit" an
sWered the dentist, apologetically.
Fit nothing" said the victim. IT
saw thief going up the street with nv
bicycle. I knew it by the color and the
way the tool bag hung behind and the
ribbons On the handleEar. Being IN
i've stories is handicap enough with
out having a brigand like you holding
me down with his fist in my throat" -

. Il Observation-Disclosures u
Mr.. and Mrs. J. e Mayhem epterts

s q
& Mr.. and Mrs. J.. Il May thew entertained
party of friends Monday evening, the
occasion being the 10Th anniversary of
their marriage. The evening was most
senjoyably spent by those present and
all wished their host and hostess many
happy returns of the day.
Barry Mccoy left Thursday morning
for Port Arthur to try to secure employ
ment. It seems strange that a good
republican like Barney, who has always
voted for the prot ection (?) of American
labor, should have to go to Canada to
secure livelihood. Now that Mckinley
is elected we should think he could live
on confidence the same as the rest of US
have to do.

A Gentle Rebuff.

It is stated that recently young
unbenefced clergyman in an English
suburban parish received spontane-
Gus and unsolicited offer from a lady

to give her heart to the Lord, her money
TO the poor and her hand to the man
who asked for it.
