HELD DOWN BY A DENTIST.
Predicn meat of = Man Whose wheel Fled
with Thief.

One day lately young man went to
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 a bicycle, which he left
in the hall, and assembled to the fifth
floor in the elevator.
The dentists chair faced 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 mar
tyr's expression on his face.
Suddenly the victim struggled TO get
his head away from the grasp of the
dentist.
ugh, Juggling, glug-ug-lug-mug-
gug,' he shouted, in a muffied voice.
The dentist thought the man in the
chair was having u fit, and fearing that
he 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 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.
This 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 did YOU hold
me down that way for? Didn't l tell
yon ! wanted ~ get up"

swered the dentist, apologetically.

HOW HE WON THE GIRL.
A German Cavalier Raced with Rail-
road Train.

The young German cavalier had
failed to pop the question, and the
young lady left the house in dudgeon,
telling their mutual host that her moth
err had no use for such chicken heart
ed son-in-law, says the New York
Herald.
A little later the boat repeated this
to the youth. who really loved the girl,
and had merely delayed proposing until
he could do so at her own home. His
horse stood near the door, and he sprang
into the saddle and galloped after the
train, which had left quarter of an
hour before. Owing TO benign provi-
dence and the management of this
country railroad, he caught the train
before it had reached the next station,
which was Kraow. He spied the young
lady at the window of first-class com
partment. and riding up to the train be-
fore it came 20 full stop, almost shout
ed breathlessly: my dear Miss -,
1 ask for your hand. Yes, or no?"
AT the station, just as the train ar
rived, a "Yes." was joyfully given by
the young miss and tcarfully approved
by her mamma.

Old Mexican Mines.

Whenever a cave is newly discovered
in New Mexico or Arizona the finders
first hope is that he has unearthed an
old Spanish or Mexican mine, but this
seldom or never has proved to be the
case. Generally these holes in the
mountains are natural caves in lime
stone or sandstone formations, but
sometimes they lie between walls of
hard rock, which perhaps contain
mineral deposits, indicating that the
primitive civilized Indians may have
dug their way in following soft
streak in search of tale to use in pot
terry making, with no thought for
precious metals. StalGctites, snowy
white, hang from their roofs, and where
mineral water has percolated these
crystallizations take on gorgeous me-
tallic hues. Human bones are some
times found in these caves and other
evidences OF human work or former
occupancy. The Coffee cave and Rob
inson's cave. in the Black range, in
southern New MeXico, have been ex-
plored for several hundred feet, and
other large caves in that region remain
To be explored.

REPAIRING BATTLEsHIPs.

The Massachusetts Goes Into Dry
DOck-Indiana VIII Follow Her.
The battle ship Massachusetts, has
been foated into the new dry dock
at the Brooklyn navy yard and will re-
main there for the next six weeks under
going repairs. In addition to having
her bottom cleaned and painted with
antifouling paint, the battle ship Will be
fitted with bilge keels, to make her
steadier in heavy sea. These bilge
keels are commonly known as roller
checks, and are metal plates that project
about two feet from the sides of the ship
at point midway between the true
keel and the water line. The Indiana
will follow the Massachusetts, in the
dock, and will be given bilge keels, as
will the Oregon, another ship of this
class, but in the latter case the work
viii be done on the Pacific coast, where
the vessel is stationed.

Iowa Man Has Mother of Vinegar
Grow in His stomach.
The peculiar case of Alonzo Merchel,
of Maxwell, Ia, is puzzhng the medical
fraternity. 1t has been his daily habit
for number of years to drink from one
to three quarts of hard cider day. Be
fore the prohibition law was in force in
this state he was hard drinl0er, but
stopped entirely for few years. Then
he contracted the cider habit.
Physicians who have diagnosed his
case, say he has drunk so much cider
O. mother of vinegar has formed in his
stomach, and to remove it an operation
will be necessary. Merchel is a man
about 3s years old. The first effects of
the cider that were noticeable came in
am illness about a year ago lasting for
three days. He was confined to his bed
and suffered with spasmodic pains COM
ing at intervals of every IS minutes. He
was placed under the influence of mar
cotics and recovered. Since then the
spells have reappeared at intervals of
three weeks, until a. month ago, when
they came more frequently, and recent
~ have been no more than week apart.
The medical men in attendance say
it is the first case Of the kind that ever
came to their knowledge, and the only
hope is to have an operation performed
which will remove the mother of vine
gar. The operation will be performed

Journnlism for Lnnntics.

In several English lunatic asylums
journalism has been introduced among
the inmates as a curative measure, and
the innovation has been attended with
excellent results. Some physicians de-
clare they are indebted to their pa
tents for hints as to the best manner
for treating them. One demented per-
son refused food, and so obstinately de-
clined to furnish any reason for his ac-
ton. In newspaper article, however,
he wrote: II desire to be buried as
quickly as possible. 1t is monstrous
scandal that | should be compelled to
drag about all over this house a dead
and purifying corpse" As soon as the
bent of his weak-mindedness was dis
covered he received appropriate treat
ment and eventually recovered. DR..
Andrew Wynter in 1857 wrote of luna
tics that they are nothing if not crit
lcal," and spoke of a journal conducted
at Murray's Royal asylum at Perth. 1t
Is said that in perusing some of their
papers, reader would fail to discover
"bee in the bonnet" of the writer's.

WaIIacb-ObJectioDs OF Pa
Dn Letter.

There is a vexatious romance in the
I family Of l.. Z. Letter. His daughter
Daisy loves Robert Wallach, young
Washingtonian, or thinks she does, and
Bob" Wallach is sure he loves Daisy
Letter. Father Levi q. Letter is rich and
therefore, it is said, has no soft spot in
his heart for "Bob." But "Bobyis per-
eistent and Daisy is rebellious, and the
father sees 10 other way for cooling
the lovers passions than that of keep
ing her in her room until he can find
time to take her abroad.
Since Mr.. Letter, mulu-millionaire,
came to Washington from Chicago and
built one of the finest mansions the city
affords the family has been prominent
in society and ONE of the Letter girls
married George Cur7on, Of the British
foreign office.
Robert Wallach, who is good-looking,
but not rich, met the handsome Miss
Letter, and straightway fell in love, as
did the young woman.
Mr. Letter did not see in Bob" Wal

mayor of Washington, desirable party.
Miss Daisy acknowledged her liking for
the young man and WIS reproached for
1t. As argument and remonstranoe
availed nothing and the young lady
continued to receive the attentions of
the youth, she was ordered to her room,
the story goes, and the key turned
against her. Then Wallach planned an
elopement, but Mr.. Letter hired detec-
tive, it is asserted, to watch "Bob," and
the elopement plan wos frustrated.
Wallach, however, hearing the other
evening his adored one was going to
attend the play, hastened 30 the theater.
AS the Letter family came in he stood
up and made an elaborate bow, which
was sweetly acknowledged by Miss
Daisy.
AS an extra precaution father Letter
has just started with his family for
London where they will attend the
May drawing-room and the queens dia-

affections by separation. AS a fur
