Painless Dentistry.
Many years ago, writes a westel

Many years ago, writes western
correspondent, group Of cowboys
rode into the frontier town of Prai.
riev' q, and while oantering down
the principal street, came to sign
"Painless Dentist" They emptied
the contents of their revolvers into
it, and then one Of the company dis
mounted and announced his inten.
ton to go in and get a sore tooth
attended to. "And L don't pay any
fancy price for it, NEITHER" he NUT.
tered, as he walked noisily into the
office.
Tho dentist was a quiet-looking
young man of 25.
"See here % shouted the cowboy,
as he advanced toward the chair, 81
want a tooth fixed, and I don't want
any hightoned prices charged,
either"
He threw himself into the chair,
hitohed his belt around in front of
him, laid his revolver across his lap,
and told tho dentist that if he hurt
him he would shoot the top of his
head off.
every well," replied the dentist,
with a slight laugh "then you must
take gas, for this is a bad tooth, and
will give trouble"
The cowboy swore, but finally sub
mitted to the respiration, and pres
emily was insensible.
With great skill the nan of the
forceps pulled the tooth, and then
before his customer regained con-
sciousness, he securely tied him
hand and foot to the chair, which
was firmly screwed to the floor.
Then taking the bully's revolver out
of his belt, the dentist took up his
position where the patient could see
AS the cowboy struggled back to
consciousness, the first thing OF which
he was sensible was the dentist point
ing the revolver at him, and saying
in quiet tones:
Snow then, don't move. Just
open your mouth as wide as possible,
and l will shoot the bad tooth off.
This is the painless process. No
danger, Sir, unless you happen to
swallow the bullet. Are you ready ?
Then here she goes! One, two,
three"
Bang went the revolver, knock
ing a hole in the wall, and
the dentist rushed forward holding
out the tooth in his hand to show
the now terrified bully, who roared
for mercy and begged to be released,
thinking that he fallen into the hands
Of madman.
The dentist finally cut his bonds
on condition that his customer should
restore the riddled sign outside of the
office. And after paying IS for the
extracted tooth, which the dentist
grimly declared to be the regular
price for painless operations, tho
creast- fallen cowboy departed, con-
vinccd that appearances arc some
times decoitful, and that even n
tenderfoot may have nerve.

Diagnosing a Case.

Helen II. Gardiner, in Harper, re-
lates this medical anecdote as one
she heard from a surgeons assistant,
q trained nurse.
1t was a japanese boy. lie was
as solid as little OK, but he told DR..
G. that he'd been taking a homno-
pathic prescription for cold. That
was enough for DR.. G. A red flag

DIR. G. lie questioned the little Jap,
who could not speak good English,
and had the national inclination to
agree with whatever you say.
"Did you ever spit blood ?" asked
DIR. G. by and by, after he could find
nothing else wrong except the little
cold for which tho homeopathic
doctor was treating the boy.
"Once," replied the youthful VIC
tim.
"Aha /! we are getting at the root
of this matter now," said DR.. G.
"Now tell me, truly. Did you spit
much blood ?"
eyes, sir, good deal"
The doctor shifted. He always
knew that a homeopathic humbug
could not diagnose case, and would
be likely to get just about as near
the facts as light cold would come
to tuberculosis.
"IIow long did this last ?" he in
quired of the smiling boy.

How an Enallsk Soofter was undone.

q .
AN English peer called upon the
famous Josiah Wedgwood, who was
an earnest, religious man, and de-
sired to see his great pottery fac
tories. With one of his employees,
a lad of about flftee,; GEARS of age,
Mr.. Wedgwood accompanied the
nobleman through the works.
The visitor was s. man of some-
what reckless life, and rather vain of
his religious unbelief. Possessing
great natural wit, he was quite en-
tertaining in conversation, and after
a while forgot himself in expressions
f"polito" profanity and in occasional
jests with sacred names and SUBJECTS.
This seriously disturbed MIR. Wedg-
wood.
The boy was at first shocked by
the nobleman's irreverance, but soon
became fascinated by his flow of
skeptical drollery, and laughed heart
lily at the witty points made.
When the round of the factories
had been made, the boy was dis
missed, and Mr.. Wedgwood selected
a beautiful vase of unique pattern,
and recalled the long and careful
process of its making, as they had
seen it in the vats and ovens.
The visitor was charmed with its
exquisite shape, it's rare coloring, it's
pictured designs, and reached out
his hand to take it.
Mr.. Wedgwood let it fall on the
floor, and broke it to atoms. The
nobleman uttered an angry oath.
81 wanted that for my collection"
said he. "No art can restore what
you have ruined by your careless
ness"
"My Lord" replied MIR. Wedg-
wood, "thero are other ruined things,
more precious than this, which can
never be restored. You can never
give back to tho soul of that boy
who has just left us the rcvcrcnt
feeling and simple faith which you
have destroyed by making light OF
the religion which has been his most
scared memory and Inheritance.
For years his parents have endea.
vored to teach him reverence for
scared things, and so to influence
his mind that his life and conduct
should be governed by religious
principles. You have undone their
labor in less than half an hour.
The nobleman, though greatly as-
tonished at such plainness of speech
from a "mcchanic," respected a brave
and honest man, and he did not 90
away without expressing his regrets,
and admitted the justice OF the re-
proof.
A common acknowledgment of
God, and the prevalence of rcver-
ent spirit, are socioty's safe guard
and the States defence.
None but those who forget how
much the country owes to religious
feeling will ever triile with it in the
young, or sneer at n "pious cduca-
tion." A single scoffing speech may
do mischief for lifctime.-Youth's
Companion.

A Nice Bill OF Fare.

1t was at country hotel in Penn
sylvania. The single stranger who
sat down at dinner was amazed when
the waiter handed him a printed bill
Of fare, which began With cyster
soup and clam chowder and ran
down to four kinds of pie and choco-
late ice cream.
"I'll take oyster SOUP" said the
gucst.
"Y-e-a; but we haven't got any,"
replied the waiter.

"Thcn bring me baked whitc-fish,
fried sausage, Saratoga potatoes,
French wheat rolls, ribs of beef and
a cup of coffee"
"We haven't got any, sir. All
we've got is beefsteak, billed taters,
bakers bread and coffee"
At that moment the landlold d
entered the room, and the guest
called out:
"See here, landlord, what sort of q
trick is this ?"
"What? Oh, that bill Of fare. My
dear Sir, let mo explain. My uncle
kept seaside hotel and failed. Ho
had 10000 bills of fare on hand, and

Can't be Bought with the CIink OF Gold.


The world will be glad of the
assurance that there are some men
in the humblest walks of life who
can't be bought with the clink of
