Painless Dentistry.

Many years ago, writes western
correspondent, group Of cowboys
rode into the frontier town of Prairie
vile, and while cantering 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 intention
to go in and get sore tooth attended
to. And don't pay any fancy price
for it, NEITHER he muttered, as he
walked noisily into the Office.
The dentist was quiet-looking
young man Of 25.
See here!' shouted the cowboy, as
he advanced towards the chair, "I
want tooth fixed, and I don 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 off.
Every WE'LL replied the dentist,
with slight laugh; "then you must
take gas, for this is a bad tooth, and
will give trouble.
The cowboy seofss but But finally yield
ed. and with a parting threat submit
ted to she respiration, and presently
Was {nsensible.
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 ]
will shoot the bad tooth of. This is
the painless process. No danger, sir,
unless you happen to swallow the bull
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 a mad
man.
The dentist finally cut his bonds on
condition that his customer should re-
store the riddled sign outside of the
office. And after paying IS for the
extricated tooth, which the dentist
grimly declared to be the regular price
for painless operations, the crestfallen
cowboy departed, convinced that ap-
pearances are sometimes deceitful. anG
that even tenderfoot may have nerve.

that such hopes are vain and that linen and

observer, and the width OF the stripes 10 OF
