In a New York police court the other
day prisoner was aTaigned to an
swer a charge of larceny. The prose-
cutting witness was young woman,
who testified that as she was walking
along Broadway the-~risoner at the bar
suddenly stopped her, and, in the pres.
ence of large crowd of surprised spec
tatOrs, opened her mouth and took out
set of false teeth, which he put in his
pocket and ran away. That's right,
your honor" explained the accused
man. This woman is my wife. l mar
ried her three weeks ago. OF course,
/ wanted her to make as good an ap-
pearance as possible on that occasion,
so | fitted her out with a set of teeth
which cost me 50. She has since left
me, however, and is now skylarking
around and I'm afraid some one elise
will fall in love with her and steal her
from me. l thought the safest plan
would be to take back my present OF
those teeth, so that she wouldn't be
quite so attractive TO the average man.
OF course If she will promise to live
with me again as a good. loyal wife,
she can have the teeth back right now"
The court suggested a brief conference
between the interested parties. \ mo-
ment afterward the prosecution wal
dropped and the case was dismissed.
But remember, judge" said the hus-
band, as the reconciled couple prepared
to leave, IF she doesn't behave proper
| ly | shall get those teeth again She
may have EN- in trust, that's all And
yet the wiseacres say there is nothing
new under the sun.

RAT WITH A WOODEN LEG.
How Philadelphia BOY Fitted Out
His Captive.

A rat with wooden leg is curiosity.
as curiosities 90 nowadays. Yet such an
animal can be seen any day at the resi-
dnece of man named Dugmore. in the
southwestern section OF the city, says the
Philadelphia Times. About a month ago
Willie Dugmore, lad of y years, found
the little rodent in trap in the cellar.
His first impulse was to brain the pest
with baseball bat, but the rat looked at
him so pleadingly that Nilhes heart was
touched, and he decided to take the trap
to an adjoining vacant lot and hberate
the animal. This he did, but instead of
scampeiing off, as he expected, the rat
limped painfully up to him and began to
lick his hand. Willie then discovered that
one of the animals legs had been almost
severed by the trap.
Taking the rat home, he cut the leg off
and then bandaged the wound, using as
a liniment little vaseline. He then put
the rat into cage and nursed it for
week. He then removed the bandage and
found that the wound had completely
healed. The rate was, however, unable to
walk, and Willie decided he would make
for it an artificial leg. Going down to the
cellar, he obtained a piece of pine, and
after some whiting succeeded in making
leg. This he fastened on With string,
and was delighted to see that his plan
was entirely successful. The rat is now the
family pet and can be seen any day hob
bling about the kitchen or teasing a little
Irish terrier, of which it has made a life
long friend.
