It's claimed that this story originated
in Cleveland, claim which may very
we'll be true, because Cleveland-and
especially the east end-has more pre-
cocious children to the acre than Bos-
ton could boast of in her palmiest days,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This
particular precocious infant lives on
a pretty cross street in that favored
locality. Not long ago she was troubled
with an annoying and persistent tooth
ache. Finally her mamma took her to
a dentist and the dentist interviewed
the troublesome tooth. After eXamin-
ing it he told her that the best thing
to do under the circumstances was to
have the tooth extracted, as Z contained
very large cavity and this was the
seat of the trouble. Bracing herself
firmly in the chair she bade him go
ahead and remove the acher. After
the operation was over she carefully
wrapped the tooth in paper and de-
clared she would take it home.
Next day her mamma noticed that
she was an unusually good girl, and.
upon looking around, located her in n
window seat industriously polling su-
gar into the cavity of the extracted
tooth. Her mother demanded the cause
of this strange proceeding.
"Why," she said. I'm polIin' sugar
in the old thing just to see it ache!"
