story that scientist was quite amaz-

snakes in the furrow before he went
back to the plow.
''Why do you do that for" the
scientist asked.
The farmer looked curiously at the
scientist, and seeing that he was real
ly in search of information, replied
~ do that so the p1ow will cover
the snakes on the next round
Seeing that the scientist was still
mystifed, the farmer continued:
''I cover the snakes so that they
will decompose. That is what you
call it, isn't it?"
"Yes?" said the scientist, with a
rising infection.
"Well," continued the farmer,
"the decomposition Of animal matter
furnishes nourishment for plant life,
believer"
''Yes," again said the scientist.
"Then, the snakes will make the
corn grow, won't they ?"
"Yes?" said the scientist.
"And more corn will make more
whisky, won't it?" said the farmer.

"And whisky will make more

THEIR WAY OF IT.

An exchange tells story of part
nership existing between Democrat,
Populist, a Republican and free
silver Republican. One of the con-
ditions of their contract was that when
partner died each of the survivors
was to deposit 500 in the coffin to
be buried with the deceased. The
Democrat died first and after the re-
mains had been prepared for burial
the survivors met and the conditions
of the contract were discussed. Said
the Republican, 81 believe in the sim,
gle gold standard, and true to mJ@
principle, 1 placed five $40 gold pieces
in the coffin"
"And 1" said the silver Republi-
can, Sin conformity with my fnanS=.
cial views, placed 800 i'll silver
the casket."
WELL" said the Populist, II be
lieve in fiat money; SO l placed my
check for 5000 in the coffin and drew
out $500 in change"
l CAN'T understand how some peo-
pie always have a good time, wher-
ever they go.
"That's easy enough they take 1t
along with them."

sENcE MA GOT QUAIYFIDE TO VOTE.

When we moved out from Michigan
Some better n year ago,
Ma said at she would be man
The same as pa: in rights, you know,
An that was so, fur pa allows
His cares is more than he kin tote;
Things goin' to the burned bow-wows
cence she got Qualyfide to vote.
She used to go around as meek
AS any lam you ever saw,
An, sometimes dasSent scurcely speak
w hen Somethin' was a-rilin' pa,
But now she seems to feel that she's
The captain of the household boat,
An pas got shaky in the knees
Sence she got qualyide to vote.
She used to sing the gospel airs,
On Jordan's stormy banks she'd stand
AN cast some sort o. wishful stares
At Canaan's fair an happy land.
But sich funny change you'd ort
To see J she doesn't sing a note
That isn't of the rag-time sort
Sence she got Qualyfide to vote.
She says that she at last has found
A road on which she kin advance,
An poor oil pa a-goin' round
Without no bnttons on his pants.
She says the female skies has cleared,
The tag O. liberty's afioat-
- Sence she got qualyfide to vote.
Strange wimmen come to our house now
An look at pa in ugly way,
With wrinkles gethered in their brow,
An tell him he's beast at bay.
An ma says that's jest what he is,
She is tiger, he's goat;
That he has sunk an she has riz
Sence she got qualyflde to vote.
The other mornin' pa arose
Afore she woke from sleep, by jing
An put on all her funny clothes,
Her pettiskirts an everything;
Then yelled at her: Put on them pants
Put on that shirt an vest an coat!
You've bin a-waitin' fur the chance
Sence you got qualyfide to vote J"

who heard her could mistake her sin


cerity.
"a little more than seven years
ago, Grant, refused you because /
did not know my own mind. Only
when l had learned that you were
bound to another, did l realize what
l had cast away. The woman in
whom you placed your trust has de-
ceived you. Grant, before these men,
who are your friends, I offer to take
this false woman's place. | offer to
make Saints Rest my home and
yours"
A faint tinge of color swept her face
as he dropped her eyes upon the
ground and waited his decision.
But wild cheer went up from the
men-a cheer that was caught up by
the whinnying of the horses tethered
near, and echoed by the mountains
until every cliff resounded.
A light broke over Wardwell's
white face. He struggled to his feet
and took a step toward her.
"Adelaide, !" he said," are you sure
that you are not doing this because
you pity me?"
Il am doingit because l love you, +"
she said, steadily.
With his one good arm he caught
her to his breast, and, with the touch
of her lips on his, he knew that in all
his life he had loved but this woman
with his whole heart.
So, after all, there was a wedding
at Miles Flat that day, and fairer or
sweeter bride the grim old mountain
never looked upon than she who went
in unto Saints Rest as its mistress.
Wardwell? Ga, yes he recovered,
Of course, and if ever a thought of
Caroline Martin crossed his mind, he
smiled at the wife he worshipped, and
wondered within himself how it was
that he had ever been so happy fash
ioning cupboards and cosy corners for
George Martins wife.

PAPER TEETH.

Paper teeth are the latest thing in
dentistry. For years some substance
has been sought for which could re-
place the composition commonly en-
ployed for making teeth, and for
tune awaited the man who was lucky
enough to hit upon the right material.
Although paper has some disadvan-
tages, they are small compared to its
many qualifications, and paper teeth
are likely to be used exclusively-at
least until more perfect material is
found
Up to this time china has been used
almost exclusively, but it presents SO
many disadvantages that dentists
have always been on the lookout for
some other substance which could re-
place it. Not only does china not re-
sist the action of saliva and turn
black, but china affects the nerves of
the jaws.
People who wear false teeth often
complain of suborbital neuralgia, and
this is put down by many dentists as
being caused by the heat or cold act
ing on the china or porcelain. Porce-
lain or mineral composition also is
liable to chip or break, and for these
reasons have never been satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made of papier
mache, which is submitted to tre-
mendous pressure until it is as hard
as required. Their peculiar compost
ton renders them cheap, and the
price of set of teeth will go down
considerably owing to the new inven-
ton.
The color of the papier mache can
also be made to vary, which is an i'm
portant point, as no two sets of teeth
are identical in color, some teeth hav-
ing strong yellowish cast, while 9TH
ers are blush white. In order, there
fore, to obtain the right tint the color
ing matter has only to be introduced
into the mixture before the tooth is
cast in order to match the other teeth
exactly. 1t is in this particular that
china teeth often fail to appear nat
tural, their color differing from the
other teeth in the mouth and show
ing that the tooth is artificial.

WHATEVER ISIS BEST.

And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong, somewhere
There lies the root of Right;
That each sorrow has its purpose,
BY the sorrowing oft unguessed,
But as sure as the sun brings morning.
Whatever isis best.

AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometimes punished,

And to grow means often to suffer
But whatever isis best.

In the great eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good of man.
And know when my soul speeds onward
In its grand eternal quest,

THE MAN WITH THE DOUGH.

o the man with the hoe
That they talk about so
Is all right in his way. concede;
But the man with the dough
Is the man here below
Who has power to supply all his need.
It's the man with the dough
Who can make thing go,
And we, all of us. give him smile;
Tho it be all in vain,
Yet the reason is plain
We all hope to get part Of his pile.
You may talk as you will,
But the fact remains still,
That the man with the dough is the thing;
You may slave with the hoe,
But you reign with the dough,
And to half of mankind you are king.
Ali the man with the hoe
And the man with the dough.
What powerful team they might make;
If they stood side by side,
Nor each other defed,
All the mountains Of earth they could shake.

And the man with the dough,
Here is wishing you both may be blest;
May you each reach the goal
OF the ChriSt-mastered soul
