The Norris case is progressing rap

Kohlor took exceptions to this and
ruled that the Photographic copy
would suffice. 1t is claimed that
the note is In the hands of Norris

The question was put to several ladies

He WaB Short on Lungs, but Decld-

The young fhan was either an op-
timist or the possessor Of a barveyized
steel armor plated nerve. Perhaps he
was little of both.
A short time ago he came to the con-
clusion that he would like to insure his
life. With this Objects view he made
application to a prominent company.
After filling up the necessary form he
received an invitation to call upon the
medical officer Of the company and
undergo the usual medical examina-
tion. In due course he presented him
self at the Office of the examining ply
slcian.
Requesting the young man to remove
his coat and vest, the doctor produced
stethoscope and began his examina-
ton. All at once he stopped and re-
garded the candidate with an express
sion Of alarm.

"Oh, think sol" was the cheerful re-

"You have only one lung" announc-

"Well, what of that" retorted the
candidate, with the utmost composure.
II never told you had any more,
did I?'

you mean to say you were aware Of

A LIONS TooTHACHE-
How a Successful JOb In Dentistry Ot an Uncommon Kind Was
 Performed.

How it happened the keepers of Gen. tral park, New York. cannot tell. but one day the lion was sick. IL was dur ing the early rainy days of spring when neuraigia was an everyday complaint; and SO no one thought it strange that the king of beasts should suffer from a malaise along with his subjects, the less pretentious animals of the Central park menagerie-
 But an observaHt small boy happened along that morning, and when he saw the lion put his paw Co his cheek and groan. that boy knew that the lion had a toothache. Nothing else" he told the keeper, ''could bring such look of awful pain to the face of man or beast. !" Now, the keepers arc humane sort of ! people. and, after they had watched the antics of the lion for an hour. they de- cided with the small boy that 1t eer- | tanly was the tOothache.
 They held a consultation. and in ] that consultation they decided 1t was best to pull the lions tooth. 'FOr, l" 1 reasoned they, he will not use tooth ! tche drops."
 Next came the problem of pulling the | tooth. All the dentists within a long ] radius of Central park were telephOned ] for, but each refused most emphat- cally to pull the tooth Of the lion They ! described over the telephone exactly ! how it should be done, but when asked ! to come and perform the operation, they one and all pleaded a previous ! engagement.
 ] So the keepers had to perform the ! job themselves. They lassoed the great ! fellow and pulled him out of the cage. He came reluctantly, straining upon his ropes, for he seemed to know that a fresh pain was in store for him. But he kept on grooming, which showed that his toothache did not let up even with the presence of three dentists.
 When they had thrown him upon Q stone floor and bound him limb 10 limb, and had rebound his feet and fastened them to iron posts, they took a big plug of rubber and forced it into his
 jaws. far back until he could not close them.
 Then came the fun. Upon his back. Iowlier than any other common beast, as helpless as day-old cub, lay the monarch, ready for the operation.
 IL was done with a great forceps that were fastened around the tooth, and pressed downward into the gum, in that one awful push which Is known to every one who has tooth extracted in cold blood. Then up came the forceps out of the jaw, bringing the tooth, whole and white. At the end of the root hung a little sac, which showed where the trouble lay.
 The monarch bore it pretty well, although he did howl lustily while the forceps were doing thelr work, and spit profusely when the plug was taken out. But he was glad to be released, and, an hour later, he was tearing small live an imals to pieces and enjoying his dinner as heartily as though he had never known the pang of an aching molar St. Louis Republic.
