NERVE OF A BOLD DRUMMER.
He Compelled Railroad to Haul
Him In y Private Car to Sioux
Falls, s. ID.

His bold defiance of railway corpo-
ration procured NJ. t. Mcneil the honor
of a special car recently from Fort
Dodge, Ia, to Sioux Falls, S. ID. Nc
Neil is a Chicago travelling man. A few
days ago he bought ticket over the
Illinois Central from Chicago to Sioux
Falls and engaged a berth in sleeper
for the entire trip. AT Fort Dodge,
however, it was decided to turn the
train around and run it back to Chi
cago-a plan occasionally adopted
when travel is light. This compels the
Sioux Falls passengers to rise early and
change cars. Mcneil was accordingly
aroused, advised as to the situation and
peremptorily required to hurry on his
clothes and leave the sleeper. But not
he. He would ride to Sioux Falls in
that sleeper, he declared, or go back to
Chicago with it. And then let the Hi
nois Central look out for damage
suit. The conductor offered to pay
his passengers hotel bill until another
sleeper arrived or do anything else in
reason to accommodate him. The trav-
cling man stuck for his rights and the
officials finally wired to headquarters
for instructions. On orders received
from there the car was then carried
through to Sioux Falls with Mcneil its
only occupant.

DENTISTS AND THE KLoNDIKE.
Gold Seekers Wisely Have Their
Teeth Attended to Before They
Start for Alaska.

"Do you know" said New York dem
fist. that this rush to the Klondike has
made perceptible increase in our in
comes? And it's all very natural, too.
Those who intend to visit the newly
discovered gold regions realize that the
part of their bodies most likely to be
affected if they manage to keep from
freezing and starvation will be their
teeth. Consequently they rush to us
and have them thoroughly examined
The slightest imperfection is attended
to. If the teeth are decayed to such an
extent that they cannot be filled with
gold, why, the prospective tourist
promptly has them pulled ont. Mock
pense is spared, as they are all anxious
to have their teeth in the best possible
condition before undertaking the jour-
ney. so they can withstand any kind OF
climate. Now it's not hard to see how
much the profession has benefited by
this state of affairs. My case is only
one instance. Only this morning had
a party of six in here. and from the SUI
Perfcial examination made l estimate
about $3.50 from the crowd"

CUPID IN A BOTTLE.
The Ohio River Assints = Lonely
YOUNG Woman to Find
. Husband.


Miss Edna House, of Bromley, near
Cincinnati, was an ambitious young
woman, who on one September after
noon became tired Of single blessedness
and resolved to secure herself a hus-
band.
She cast bottle upon the waves of
the Ohio. in which, before sealing, she
had placed note which read:
1.-The finder of this will please correspond
with me at once. i am lonely because the
EDNA HOUSE"
The missiye danced along until it
was lost to sight, and the young damsel
had almost forgotten its existence when
one day a month later she received a
note from John Eggleston, farmer of
North Bend, Ky., which stated that he
had found the bottle and intended to
comply with the note found therein.
He did so, and an exchange of photo
graphs followed.
Shortly afterward Bromley people
were startled by the appearance one
Sunday afternoon of a new rig in front
of the House homestead, and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that Eggleston
had come to make the acquaintance of
Miss House. Since then frequent visits
have been made, and the gossips of
the town predicted speedy union of
the two young hearts.
The expectations were realized one
day lately when Eggleston arrived in
4 T. . l.
two were seen vending their way
toward the Office of Squire Anderson,
where they were married.
