JONES KNOWS HOW.

"Isn't Jones a little penurious when
it comes to supplying money for house
hold expenses?"
81 won't say as to that, but I'll tell
you what happened. His wife told
him that the parlor carpet had become
so worn and fuzzy that it was impos-
ible to sweep it any more without max
ing it worse. Some men would have
handed out money the for more. Jones
got the lawn mower and ran it over
the carpet"

You know of no farmer who is actual
ly starving for food; but there are many
of the poor who would have suffered
severely during late years had it not
been for the exceedingly low prices of
flour and other products of the ground.

what it used to be, remember that it is
not all loss, viewed from the lofty point
of the brotherhood of mankind.

MORE SUNDAY TRAINS.
Connecticut Blue Laws FL
nally Concerned to Pub
lie Wishes.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad has succeeded in its
efforts to increase Sunday train service
between Boston, Worcester and New
York
The Connecticut Legislature has al
ways been opposed to the running of
Sunday passenger trains through that
state between the hours of 10 a. m. and
p. m. The inconvenience caused the
travelling public was great and the
complaints were many and strong.
Passengers from transatlantic
steamers We're compelled to remain
over Sunday in New York. The rail-
road company was moved to action by
the urgent demands of travelling men,
and a bill providing for the running
of Sunday trains reached Gov. Louns-
bury, and he approved it. The principal
objection to the bill on the part of the
legislators was one to the effect that it
necessitated Sunday work.
The Massachusetts, railroad commits
sioners have been appealed to in a petit
ton from President Hall of the
railroad company, whose statement is
substantially as follows:
THE New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company respectful
ly represents that public necessity and
convenience require that additional
facilities be given the public for trans
portation between the hours of 10 80
a. m. and p. m. on Sunday This
company therefore makes application
for authority to run the following trains
carrying United States mails, on Sun
day, viz: Shore Line express, leaving
the cities of New York and Boston,
respectively, at 0.30 a. m; train No.
211, leaving Springfield at 1.50 a m.
and arriving in New Haven at 2.15
p. m: also train No. 21S leaving New
Haven at 1906 p. m, and arriving at
Springfield at 30 p. m, the said two
trains last mentioned being run for the
purpose Of connecting at New Haven
with the said 1870 express trains from
New York and Boston
The schedule time of the new trains
has not yet been decided and there are
a few details to be arranged, but it is
thought that by the close of the present
month the Sunday train service viii
be as the public demands.

THE EMPEROR's TEETH.
A Dentist Who Made the Kaiser Come
to Him.

One of the few men who ever got
the better of Emperor William of Ger
many is an American dentist in Ber-
lin. He was already a popular den
fist, with a large practice, when one
day the emperor's favorite valet, Tut
zing, called upon him and asked, in the
name of his master if the dentist could
come the next day at II o'clock in the
forenoon to the royal castle and exam
inc emperOr's teeth. The dentist
smiled, says the Chicago Record, and
said: Tell his majesty that L cannot
attend patients at their homes. This
is my office. 1t is as well appointed
with every utensil and every comfort
as even the most eXacting patient could
demand. l do all my dental work here.
and l have to do it here, because
should / once break my rule l should
have to visit many patients at their
own homes, where the chances are I
should not do my work half as well.
No, it is impossible that ! attend the
emperor at the castle, but / should be
most proud and happy to attend his
majesty here, and his majesty would
find every comfort. Tell his majesty
that, please
The valet was dumbfounded It was
the first time he had ever heard of any
one saying he couldn't and wouldn't
do what the emperor wanted. He left
and reported his message. An hour
later he returned, saying his majesty
would come at the hour suggested. but
that the doctor was TO buy a whole
outfit of dentists instruments excm-
sively for the emperor's use. to which.
of course, the dentist readily agreed.
The story leaked out, and it has been
much commented upon in Berlin. It
was a good stroke of business on the
part of the dentist. Not only has the
emperor remained his patient-no other
dentist is ever allowed to touch the i'm
perial teeth-but the emperor's entire
family and the court the highest aris-
tocracy and the generality and admi-
rally also by preference seek him when
their teeth need fixing Several of
the wealthiest families among the
aristocracy pay him annual bills of 20
900 marks $4,000, and while his best
customer, the Princess Hohenlohe, wife
of the imperial chancellor recently
died, others have taken her place His
income is now estimated at about $50
