PAINLESS DENTISTRY.

Many years ago, writes a western
correspondent, group of cowboys rode
into the frontier town of Prairleville,
and while cantering down the princi-
pal street, came TO sign-"Palnless
Dentist" They emptied the contents
of their revolvers into it, and then one
of the company dismounted and an
nounced his intention to 60 in and get
a sore took attended to. "And l don't
pay any fancy price for it, neither" he
muttered, as he walked noisily into
the Office.
The dentist was a quiet-looking
young man of 25.
"See here ~ shouted the cowboy, as
he advanced toward the chair, IL want
a tooth fixed, and ] don't want any
hightoned prices charged, either"
He threw himself into the chair,
hitched his belt around in front of him,
laid his revolver across his lap, and told
the dentist that if he hurt him he
would shoot the top of his head OF.
every WE'LL" replied the dentist,
with slight laugh "then you must
take gas, for this is bad tooth, and
will give trouble"
The cowboy swore but finally yield
ed, and with parting threat submit
ted to the respiration, and presently
was ipsensible.
With great skill the man Of the for
ceps pulled the tooth, and then, before
his customer regained. consciousness,
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 him when he came to.
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:
"Now 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 oul.
let. Are you ready? Then here goes
One, two, three"
Bang went the revolver, knocking
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 beg
ged to be released, thinking that he
had fallen into the hands of mad
mad.
The dentist finally cut his bonds on
condition that his customer should re-
store the riddled sign outside of the
Office. And after paying $5 for the
extracted tooth, which the dentist
grimly declared to be the regular price
for painless operations, the cresttallen
cowboy departed, convinced that ap.
pearances are sometimes deceitful, and
that even tenderfoot may have nerve.
