with summer hats Will do well TO select
cod ones. THAI is, hats that are a htt,e

spicuous. In summer the odd hat is pre-
feraole to the conventional one. Two or
three poke hats, a null toque and two
straws wiz carry one fairly well during
the summer season. The toques can be
used for travelling, the poke nat for GRO

coined about $4,000 in various coins dur

To accomplish this, the working force
was being augmented by the employment

WHEN DENTIST MEETS MULE.
Grit and Determination Necessary to
Overcome StubbOrnness and Vic
iouauRsa
From the Road.

From the Road.
Perhaps few are acquainted with the
amount of veterinary surgery which is
practiced upon some of the mules abroad,
some hundreds of pounds being expended
annually in having veterinary dentists ex-
anime and treat the teeth of the pit
horse, and especially of the much-malgn-
ed mine mule. Such is the case. however,
and it is safe to say that the molars of
these beasts of burden receive far more
attention than do the teeth Of many of
the men and boys who are their daliy CO.
workers in The underground caYerns. A
wel-known veterinary dentist out here
who makes a speciality of treating mules
teeth, has more PATIENTS awaiting their
turn for his services than perhaps any
dentist in the "old country" Az present
he is engaged in treating the teeth Of 290
mules used in working the mines upon
which am engaged, which, by the bye,
is only one Of dozen similar big compa-
mics that find use for his services.
A vacious. stubborn mule that snaps at
its driver and kicks at the tantalizing
doOrboys several hundred feet beneath
the earth's surface is neither an attrac-
tive nor a docle patient so that the occu-
patton Of the veterinary dentist is not
pleasant; but he has studied the peculiar
tiles and wickedness Of his long-eared pa
tents and goes about his work showing
neither fear nor favor no matter how
vicious his patient may be. II frequently
happens that just as he has finished doc
toring the mules teeth az a colliery his
patients are so regretful over his near de-
parture that they make frantic efforts 90
keep a mouthful Of his person with them,
or, failing in this they try TO leave the
imprint Of one Of their sharp shoes on his
anatomy as an everlasting souvenir Of their
appreciation. The mules stubbornness,
however is more than Offset by the den
tist's grit and determination, and he never
passes patient until he has closely exam
ined its mouth and treated all teeth that
are in need of his attention.
A few days ago. as my friend the veter-
mary dentist was completing his work a
one of the mines he turned his attention
