I'D hate to pay that woman's dentist
bills" said business man to q friend
on a South Side L train the other day.
Across the aisle from the men was a
woman who showed enough gold every
time she opened her mouth to make
man want to leave home and try his
fortunes in the Klondike. Two of her
upper teeth had been replaced by
pieces of FURNISHED metal, and one of
her lower teeth also had a % carat
sheen about ii. Her companion had
only one gold tooth, but she kept it
doing the work of three by constant
smile.
That's another case of the old adage,
All that glitters is not gold" said the
business mans friend. "One of the
dental novelties makes gold teeth pos
sible TO any one at 4 small cost and
without even sacrificing Il healthy ill.,
cisor to make room for the metal. For
a quarter you can get shell that can
be stuck over any front tooth, and with
an excuse to smile you can present Il
regular gold mine to the astonished
public.
Actresses first affected the gold
tooth. and then the Yankee man got
an idea. In short time there was an
epidemic of gold teeth. The novelty
man came out with his plated shells
and sold them like hot cakes. No one
but the dentist has any kick against
the imitation gold tooth, and as daz-
zler it is hard to beat. That woman's
teeth may be the real stuff, but L be-
lieve she can slip them off when she
wants to and get them plated when
they get nished."-Chicago Inter

Most Of the cheap oil paintings"
said the picture dealer, ARE done by
Italians on tie east side in New York.
They work in their living rooms, and
most of the paintings have several
half grown children as assistants. The
wholesale dealers have a number of
such artists on their books aud agree
TO take all they can do, the firm sup
plying the canvas, but not the paints.
OF course the pictures are done rapid

An expert will range six or eight
canvases on a shelf that is used in

some of the pictures are by no means

they may or may not be able to sell.

ell book Until the formal recognition
of the Spanish sovereignty by England
and Germany in 1877 the sultan of Suiu
ruled completely and independently over
his people and snapped his fingers at the
alleged Spanish protectorate. After that
time the sultan acknowledged the protec-
torate. and was induced to accept his in
vestiture from the Spanish governor gen.
eral of Manila and to take an oath of al
legiance to the king of Spain. As an in
ducement he was given the title of excel
lency and a pension of 50 400 year.
Professor Schurman found that gener-
ally the subjects of the sultan were
awaiting the result of the war in Luzon
before positively declaring themselves or
committing themselves either in favor OF
American rule or against it. They fear to

Ducat, who had seen every one of the
orderlies fall lifeless or desperately
wounded. Without a word he plunged
into the fire, ran the gantlet in safe

ment, but his clothes were torn by

Philippines, but the sultan seemed to
have an objection to protectorate under
Uncle Sam. Subsequently, however, the
savage monarch concluded that he would

nifty of the United States. The gunboat
Bennington took Professor Schurman to

UTE GHOST DANCE.

pletion, the people are summoned by cri-
ers especially selected for the duty, which
must be performed in Il certain manner.
Amid i dead silence the leaders walk
out from the vast gathering and, facing
inward, join hands so as to form small
circle. Then. without stirring a muscle,
they sing the opening song in a low,
grooming undertone.
Following this they raise their voices
and repeat the same song, this time
slowly circling around to the left, always
moving that foot first, following it with
the right in a peculiar kind of shuttle.
The movement to the left is following
the course of the sun. Gradually, as the
song proceeds, the circle becomes enlarg
ed. A noteworthy feature is the fact that
each time the leader returns to his origi-
nal position the chant is started afresh,
first in an undertone. which becomes in
crescent with the more rapid movement
of the dancers.
No drum, rattle or musical instrument
of any kind is employed, and in this the
ghost dance differs from all other Indian
dances. As the dance proceeds the ex-
citement becomes more intense. The par
Elephants move as fast as they can, their
hands thrown from side to side, their
bodies swaying, and the weak and frail
are jerked again and again into position
after they have almost fallen. This is
continued until human nature can stand
no more, and one after the other they
break from the ring to stagger away and
swoon from the terrible exhaustion Not
the slightest notice is taken of these until
but few, very few, remait in the circle,
and when it has become too small to 20
on these, supposedly the flower of the
tribe, go into frances, natural or produc-
ed by the hypnotic influence of the
medicine man. Upon recovery they again
resume the dance, after relating the Won
Gerful flights of their astral bodies into
the realms of the unknown.
After the effects of the dance wear
away the braves, purified in body and
SOUL believe themselves, as did the cru
saders of the olden times, divinely COM
missioned to sweep their enemies before
them.

HOW THE GHOST APPEARED ON THE NEGATIVE

was being developed when something
white appeared upon the negative mixed
in with the background. At a loss to
know what it was Mr.. Jeanes threw the

A second exposure was made, and the

The same shadow appeared like a fatal
stain upon the third exposure, but in a
less marked degree, and Jeanes decided
to print it, He told Burnes to call for
the finished pictures in a few days
Burnes called and when the pictures
were handed TO him he looked at the FIRST
one and exclaimed:
Good heavens, How did that get
there?"
Il am as much at a loss to account for
it as you are" replied Jeanes. MY dark
