Too Much of a Jar.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A little group of professional men were
talking OF dentists the other day when the
stout man of the party related a humorous
incident that occurred some time ago. 1t
happened in a dentists office in Kansas
City, and the stout man was there at the
time.
A typical cowpuncher came in and wanted
a tooth treated. He was a big fellow. will
an immense soft hat. and when he de-
posted himself in the operating chair ev-
erything creaked.
Mind you don't hurt me-" he said in a
menacing tone. and then the dentist got to
work.
After boring into the tooth a moment he
paused.
Now" he said. don't stir. If you do
this tool may slip and your nerve will get a
nasty jar"
All went we'll for n few moments. and
the big fellow threw his head back.
There was a yell. a scramble. a falling
chair, and then a brawny fist flew out, and
q dazed and bleeding dentist picked him
self from the floor ON the opposite side of
the room.
You blamed IDIOT" he mumbled, with his
hand on his jaw. II told you not to novel,
Tibet don't make a mite o difference"
roared the c~owpuncher: mo man kin hurt
me like tibet an live"
And seiZing his big hat he plunged heav-
lily down the stairs, matchmaking the
whole dentist fraternity at every step.

Living BY Net Eating.

Fru0 the London Chronicle.
In o recent letter to Q correspondent
General Sir Arthur Cotton attributed his
extreme age to his habit OF eating very lit
tie food indeed.
The idea was suggested to him by noting
the small quantity of food eaten by the
people OF the East. where he lived So long
Subsequent experience confirmed his belief
that people should eat on an average
about ~three-quarters OF what they do. with
absolute fasts occasionally II h seem TO
be at all out OF order, and there would
not be q tenth Of the sickness there is"
Sir Arther has been q teetotaler for the
that alcohol and tobacco are absolute
