A Toothsome Revenge.

During the reign Of Charles H., the
age Of gallantry, it was the. custom
among; gentlemen when they drank a
a lady's health, in order that they
might do her still more honor, to de-
stroy at the same time some part Of
their clothing. :.
Upon one occasion Sir Charles Sed-
ley was dining In tavern and had a
particularly fine necktie on, whereupon
one Of his friends, to play him trick,
drank to the health of certain lady,
at the same time throwing his necktie
in the fire. OF course Sir Charles had
to do likewise, but he got even, for not
long after that, dining with the same
company, be drank the health of fair
one, at the same time ordering dem
tist whom he had engaged to be pres
ent, to pull out refractory tooth
which had been troubling him. Every
one else YVES obliged in this manner to

brave little wife about II on that
Thursday morning as the ringing
strokes from the belfry of the Episco-
pal church almost across from the cot
tage reached his ears, "what are they
ringing that bell for?''
''That?" said Mrs. Garfield, who had
been waiting for the surprise. That's
the church where we were when you
first came down. They're all going to
pray for you to get well,' and, falling
| on her knees, she said, "And I'm going
to pray, too, James, that it may be
soon, for know already that the other
prayer has been heard"

the carriages draw up and group after

subdued refrain of "Jesus, Lover Of Ny
Soul" as it was borne by on it's heaven.

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Nov. l1.-Wheat

cables and rush to sell on the part Of
recent purchasers. The early decline

purchases turned the market up again

ket wheat showed a stubborn resist
ance to liquidation and short selling.
In fact the undertone was SO very
strong that one questions whether the
wheat market is mot ON, the point Of
an advance to higher prices than we
have recently had. The visible sup
ply showed an increase of something
over half million bushels for the
week. Bradstreet's report shows an
available supply of wheat to be 143,- :
100000, bushels compared with l72,-
100000 bushels a year ago. This
shows the extraordinary domestic
and foreign consumption Of wheat
this year, as the receipts have been
80. per cent larger than last year,
Feeding of wheat to live stock is on
a large scale, and the shortage in corn
and oats is going to make this quite
factor in consumption of our supply
of wheat. a*% II r - r.

Packers were heavy sellers of May

A QUESTION or TEETH,
Did the ImnsortaI George Wear Ar.
tifciaI OR Natural Oness

Did the ImnsortaI George Wear Ar.
tifciaI or Natural Oness
George Washington's false teeth,
which were supposed to have been
made of ivory, are giving a certain
class of freak historians about as much
trouble as they must have given the
venerable patriot who wore them,"
said one Of the professors Of the
Smithsonian institution to a reporter
recently.
"Many times year for several years
this institution has been called upon to
produce these mysterious teeth for the
inspection of persons who insist that
they are here.
"Our matter of fact answer to these
inquiries that Washington had no false
teeth, or at least if he did, that they
are not in the possession of the mu.
scum, seems only to stimulate the in.
quiring mind to protest our statement.
They proceed to give us authentic ac-
counts of these teeth and always con-
clude with expressing the belief that
they must be in the museum some
where 4s
"Where or how the idea that Wash
ington had false teeth originated is an
unsolved mystery. That it is firmly be-
lieved by many is certainly a fact.
There seems to be no authentic record
of the Father of His Country possess
ing ivory teeth, and by study of the
bust we have of him, which was made
but few years before his death, there
is no indication of an indentation along
the line Of the gums such as can be
noticed in persons who have had their
teeth drawn, even though they wear
artificial ones. However, we win con-
tinue to answer the same question In
the same way probably many times in
the future" =; = ssS Ss%$
According to some biographers
Washington lost his teeth during his.
service as commander in chief OF the
Continental army and had a set Of
ivory ones made These teeth, IL is
also stated, gave him much trouble be-
cause they did not fit.W Washington
