the building ON bicycle, which he left
in 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 filed up his mouthwith
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. ug-glug, glug-ug-lug-mug-

The dentist thought the man in the
chair was having fit, and fearing that
he might swallow the cement, TO say
nothing of several porcelain teeth
backed 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
mn 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 victim's mouth
and let him up.

victim. "Why in Sam Hill did YOU hold

Another practice in corn culture in
the south which have proved to be an
error is that of giving corn, at least on
our red clay soils, so much distance.
On land deeply broken, and with a
good supply of vegetable matter
turned under, corn can be planted in
four-foot rows, and Is to 20 inches be.
sveen stalks, more profitably than the
usual distance of five to six feet be-
tween stalks. We have grown over
sixty bushels of corn per acre on land
that three years before would hardly
grow any at all, mainly by deep plow-
ing and shallow culture, and am per.
fectly satisfied that on our red CLAW. in
an improved condition, corn can be
grown rs closely as in the middle
states.
But to enable the previous crop Of
peas and clover to gather the nitrogen
needed for the corn crop. it is essen tiai
that the exhausted plant food should
be supplied. The peas and the clover
will restore the nitrogen, but in order
that they may do SO the mineral ele-
ments Of plant food, ". potash and
phosphoric acid, must be present.
When soil Is exhausted of these it
must b restored to it artifcially. for
we can not by any practice get
these from the air as we can the
nitrogen, through the agency of
the peas and clover. Therefore we

A Triumph in Glove Getting.
For twenty years we have been
trying to get perfect kid glove to
sell at One Dollar. 1t was easy
enough to get better gloves than
were sold generally at that price.
But they were far short of our ideal
of quality or finish. Paris has al
ways beaten us at glove selling.
We had to look to France for the
kid, for the pelt of animals as their
wool is effected by climate. Then
the turning of the skins to glove
leather had to be done in Southern
France, because the water is best
suited to the proceSs-as Philadel-
phia water is best suited to tanning
shoe leather. That done, we COM
miSSioned the best glove maker in
the world to make the gloves, and
gave orders great enough to make
SureSt economy of price.

the result. Paris charges 4 francs
