HE WHISTLE WAS SILENT.
why His View Set of Teeth Didn't
Help the Blower


A small town in Posen, near the Sile-
sian frontier, still keeps that relic of
other centuries. the night watchman
who calls the hours. One night-the
London Telegraph tells this remarka-
BILE story-one of these watchmen, an
old worthy long in service, failed to
blow his whistle when the clock struck
the hour.
The burgomaster summoned the de-
linquent TO account for his negligence.
After some hesitation he declared that
his last tooth had dropped out and
that he could not hold in his mouth the
official fat tin whistle.
A council was called, and the subject
was grayely discussed Finally one
of the members said that he had heard
of dentist at Breslau who supplied
artificial teeth. After long debate the
council appropriated money to send
the aged watchman to Breslau to get a
set of new teeth.
In due time the watchman reported
that his teeth had arrived. That night
the burgomaster sat up TO hear the re-
suit. To his astonishment there was
no whistle at 10. at II or at midnight.
The next morning he summoned the
watchman.
You have got your teeth" he SAID
Indignantly. why do you not whist
as before:'
"Yes, I've got new set of teeth" re-
piled the old man, ''but the doctor told
me to put them in water at night"

PICTURE HAT.

white Bass straws are giving place to
crinolines and chips, and great many
of the best hats are trimmed with
ostrich plumes.
The curtain effect gained by plaitings
of lace is getting less exaggerated, and
women are becoming tired of the shep-
herdess shape, both large and small.
Many well dressed women are wear
ing hats to match their frocks. This
is always considered smart, but it re-
quires il long purse.
Sleeves are becoming daily larger,
and skirts are getting fuller around the
feet. There is no doubt the fancy for
jackets is increasing, and many jaunty
little models are cut away in the front,
with abbreviated tails in the back.
An attractive rose trimmed picture
hat is here shown. 1t would be becom-
ing to almost any young face.
