askin cause I'm jealous, you know.
but jest out OF curiosity. When we
got married. all the bridal tower We
had was to go to circus and come
home in a thunderstorm, but if you
want to go to Niagara Falls with your
new wife don't stop on my account
AS Mr. Gallup handn't been asked a
direct question there was no call for
him to wake up, and as Mrs. Gallup
felt like weeping she had fairly good
time at ii before saying further:
81 did think at one time that if you
married chit of girl I'd come back
and sit on the footboard of the bed
and haunt you, but I've changed my
mind about it, 1t amt in me to be
mean. While it pears to me that
you'd better marry a wilder woman
about 40 years old, if you decide on a
girl of 20 it amt for me to raise to no
row. While wilder woman would be
at work SEWN patches on your trousers
and maxim apple butter, gal wife
would want to be swingin in ham
mock or playin the melodeon. but it's
your own lookout. The papers are
full of gal wives runnin away with tin
peddlers. and you must hev read of
EN- as we'll as me. Was you thinkin
of gal wife or wilder. Samuel?"
MIR Gallup combined sigh and a
snore and stood mutual, and after
hanging on to her chin to stop its
shaking Mrs. Gallup continued:
y was goin to ask you to think OF
me once in awhile when i was gone,
but don't want TO give you trouble.
You'll hev 'nun to think of with your
new wife, and as l shall be fiyin round
in heaven I'll be all right Once in
awhile. however-once in awhile, when
your new wife spiles the bread, kicks
the cat outdoors, breaks the nose on
the teapot and kicks in the head Of the
vinegar barrel, 1 wish you'd jest re-
member how patient and sayin I was.

Whats up now, Uncle Dick?" says l.
Heaps of things, Abe-heaps and
heaps. Can't We come in and hev a
glass of cider and a fried cake and
toast yer feet while We talk a leetle?
l won't keep you more'n an hour"
Cant do it, Uncle Dick You know
rye got to make my rounds. / used to
hev lots of time on my hands, but now
I'm representa- the United States of
America, the postitfice department, Will
liam McKinley's second administration
and lots of other things. I'm a purity
tolerable big man fur this section of
the country, Uncle Dick, but III hear
what you've got to say, even IL 1t does
stop the United States fur few min
utes."
WAL, then, I'll tell we a few things
right here. Do We know what | did
both times when Mckinley was nomi-
mated? Jest the very mint l heard of
the news, which wasn't fur four days
afterwards, / stood right out in front
of the house and swung my hat and
yelled. yelled so loud that my hired
man. who was sittin on the fence down
in the cornfield half a mile away, was
jumped off without his KNOWN what
hit him. Mebbe you heard about them
yells. Abe?"
Eyes; I think i did"
And when i got through yellin,
which was all on account of patriot
ism, I goes to the old woman and
says:
Martha git out tablecloth or a
sheet to make flag of. William Nc
Kinley has been nominated fur Pres
ident, and by gum. I'm going to raise
flag on the barn and keep her floppin
and f1oppin till the old American eagle
can't scream another scream.
That's what / said. Abe. and she
brung me out an almost new sheet

Up Went His Hands and Up Went

for three days had been in vain. AS
the Jump suddenly struck him he ut
tered a groan and clapped his hands to
his jaw and the family cat walked over
and sat down in front of him and look
ed her sympathy.
Whats the matter with your" que
ried Mrs. Bowser as she looked up
from her book.
"N-nothing," he replied, hoping that
no other jump would follow and that
he could make a sneak for the pepper
sauce later on.
Il didn't know but that you had the
toothache,' she carelessly observed.
.If you had, l was going to ask you
why you didn't have it pulled out"
Il think I am old enough and big
enough to know what to do when |
have the toothache or any other ache,
What in thunder is that old cat looking
at? I've had enough of her around
this house"
Mrs. Bowser knew that act No. 2
was coming, and she had no more to
say. Mr.. Bowser started to whistle
and got up and walked into the hall,

hut as soon as out of her sight he kick
ed himself and held his jaw When
he returned. he casually remarked that
Aguinaldo hadn't been captured yet
and that it was mighty singular wealth
er for that time of the year. He was
doing his best, even to smiling at the
cast, to make himself Believe that old
tooth hadn't hollow big enough to
tuck away a field bean when the jump
hit him again. Up went mis- hands,
and UP went his feet, and he groaned
out a sort of death cry. The cat
chuckled, and Mrs. Bowser exclaimed:
what on earth is the matter with
you tonight? You act as if you had
the collie
"It's-its just slight attack OF
toothache, he replied, with a gnastly
smile: got my big toe damp the other
rainy day, l guess. 1t won't amount to
a row of pins, however
IF it does, you'll go to the dentists
in the morning, of course?'
"Of course. You don't suppose I'm
the sort OF man to suffer around with
the toothache for six or seven years,
do you?"
Mr.. Bowser's voice had no weight in
it, and his face was pale, but he had
made up his mind to bluff the tooth
ache and Mrs. Bowser in addition. The
idea of going to the dentists worked
an acid cold streak up and down his
spine and made his toes crack, and he
was secretly determined to die first.
He sneaked into the parlor and tried
Laying on of hands" on his jaw, but
it was no go. He went and sat down
on the stairs and tried Christian
Science, but the sinful tooth got in an

to himself and he cursed in louder
tones and kicked at his own feet, but
there was no panacea. By and by he
wandered into the sitting room and re-
marked that he guessed he'd go to bed

The old one has been out of order for
nine years, you know, and you've got

There was no change in the situa-
ton as far as Mr.. Gallup was concern

and snored.
And l s'pose you'll whitewash the
pigpen and henroost and hev new
shingles on the roof of the house.

essence to settle my stummick, it
takes a week to git It of you, but If
your second wife wants S25 fur furbe-
lows you'll hev to hand it right over
or hev a fuss. She won't make one

won't go barefoot to save her shoes.
However, as ] said before, what will

Mr.. Gallup drew UP one leg and
slowly Strengthened it out again, but
he made no verbal answer.
Its 'leven years or more since you
kissed me, and | shouldn't hev asked
you now if l wasn't a-goin to perish.
It's of no consequence. however. You

A Case of TOothacke ana the Dentiss'
copyright, 1901, by c. B. Lewisl
Mir. Bowser had toothache. He mad
suspected it for two or three days. Dut
now. after eating dinner and sitting
down to his newspaper, he was dead
sure of it. He had gone to and fro with
a growing at the roots of certain old
tooth, but had shut his jaws and tried
to make himself believe it was only a
small gumIooil which would disappear
in an hour or two. When asked by his
office boy If he didn't have toothache,
he warned the lad that his freshness
would cause his discharge, and when
the same question was put to him by
an old man in the street car Mr.. Bow
ser had savagely answered.;
You are an Sid man, sir, and re-
spect your gray hairs, sir, but don't
presume too far on my good nature"
but can't Il ask if you have tooth
ache?' queried the old man.
mo, sir, you can't. You can mind
your own business"
Yes, here it was at last-a full jewel
ed, swell front, rubber tired case of
toothache, and all the peppermint es-
sence, cloves, cinnamon oil and other
remedies he had used on the sly and all
