In the Spanish camp great hopes are
built on what they believe General

does not warrant America In taking
the responsibility for the entire Philip

w,l,.a M. teeth to . churen.

George A. Ward, who died some
time ago, left a will with the provision
that his false teeth, which he bad
worn for number Of years, should go
to the Congregational church. These
teeth being highly inset with the pre-
cious yellow metal. and Mr.. Ward be-
Ing of somewhat saving turn Of
mind, he resolved that the gold which
had ornamented his molars should not
be buried deep In the earth. hut should
be brought into use. The set of teeth
was sent to Chicago, and the gold
weighed and sold. A short time ago
the church received $21 as the price Of
the gold. The money was turned over
to apply on the pastors salary.-Tomb-
