HORROR OF THE DENTIST.
Amusing Tactics of a Railway Man to
Avoid the Extracting Chair.

Say, did you hear about my friend.
Bill said traiuman. well, that fel-
low has made me laugh more times
than once. Not long ago Bill gets a
jumping toothachc. He wants to have
that tooth out, but he doesn't want to
pay the money, nor he amt got the
nerve TO have the thing done. All the
same, that tooth is keeping him up at
night, and Bill he almost goes wild.
Either me or that TOOTH says Bill;
'one or the other; amt going TO stand
this sort of life All the same, when
Bill starts TO go TO the dentist his
knees begin to bend and he IS so
scared that the tooth stops aching, but
when he turns back and reaches the
house the tooth is plugging him again.
Now, Bill thinks of Il great scheme.
What does he do but buy n piece Of
strong string (say, you know this kind
of silk thread, and he wakes that and
ties it 10 his tooth, so tight that II can't
come off. Then Bill walks down to the
railroad station. You see, 1t was his
idea to tie the string to Il freight car,
and then when the train started 1T
would jerk the measly tooth out. He
finds freight and ties the string to
the coupler of the last ear and stands
around to wait until the train starts.
Well, sir, he begins to feel chilly about
the gilIs. The more he thinks of the
time when that train is going to move
the worse he feels. Every time Il
whistle blows he jumps. We'll, guess
Ia better unite thinks Bill 'and come
again another day but when he goes
to loosen the string he finds that's no
go, and he can't jerk the thing loose
because the other end is on the tooth.
Well, sir, the train begins to start, and
Bill he doesn't have the nerve to stand
back. SO he just trots on behind, like
a little pup on the end of chain.
Where are you going, BillT hollers out
feller; you seem to be in q hurry
Well. sir, Bill starts to swear like mad,
but the train is beginning to go little
fast, and he has to commence to lope
like a Jack rabbit. You see, the train
had been going through the city, but
now il started to get outside. Bill
didn't have the nerve to stand still, so
he just bumped himself after that train
like it was something that he wanted
bad Say, mister, why are you running
that wayT asked II brakeman, who got
on to the thing. OF course, that sort Of
guy made Bill madder than ever. but
he had to lope on. Lucky for Bill the
train had to slow up for a crossing, and
while it stopped he borrowed a knife
and cut the string. But, say, it was
funyy TO see Bill chasing the freight

CUBANS FORCED TOEAT WORMS
Extremity to Which the Starving People
Driven.

New York. March 22.-Dr. Frank

Cuban army, under Gen. Caliyto Garcia
and who was present when young Gomez

When he left New York two years ago
he weighed 2lo pounds; today he weighs
1lI pounds.
II have heard something Of the stories

in Cuba and of the thousands that have

pryins eyes; but, ali, how different was
1t to-day. The scclusion which had irked
her 50 with Tom. from which she had
lpnged 20 escape, seemed an enchantment
whose only flaw was that it must have an
end.
They were reaching for the tenth time
the evergreen arch which divided them
from the flower garden. Dallas stopped,
and June stood still beside him.
How shall | see you to-mmrow?' he
says his eyes full OF tenderrrss and a
touch Of regret in his voice. Tom will
be here, and then my short day will be
over
June meets his gaze for one moment,
then her eyes droop. and tiiclSering color
comes into her cheek.
My darling" he murmurs, and his
arm takes gentle possession of her slight
form, his handsome face bends down to
hers his lips touch hers, not with the
eager haste with which they have often
times sought red lips before, but with a
tenderness and reverence new t. him, but
most exceeding sweet.
And June, Her heart gives one mighty
throb; invoIuntarily her eyes close; for
one moment Il trance seems to steal her
soul.
She makes a movement to disengnge
herself from his arms; he yields to it at
once; and then. before they have time to
recover themselves, each hears Il sound
Of hurrying feet and then Toms voice
shouting:
'Dul. where are you:"
The awakening is horrible. Tom here
already Both feel like culprits-Dallas
perhaps even more than June.
Dallas shouts i'll answer, and Toms big
form looms straightway il the opening.
He does not wear that CHEEKY, genial
smile which is the ordinary garb of his
