George Wore False Teeth.

During the latter part of his life Wash
ington wore false teeth, made by dent
list named Greenwood. His teeth did
not fit we'll and pushed out his lower
lip. He had a lot of trouble with his
teeth, and there is in existence copy Of
Il letter which his dentist wrote to him
a year before he died. The dentist tells
Washington that the old set of teeth
which he sent him from Philadelphia was
very black, and that it must have been
discolored by his soaking them in port
wine or by his drinking too much port
wine. He warns Washington that all
wines containing acid are bad for the
teeth, and advises him to take out his
teeth after dinner and put them in clean
water, and should any holes tie eaten in
them by the acid, to hi them with wax
and seal them tight with piece of red
hot iron. such as nail. lie closes his
letter as follows:
"If your teeth grows black. take some
chalk and a pine or cedar stick; it will
rub OF II you want your teeth more
yellow, soak them in broth or pot liquor,
but not in tea or acids. To preserve teeth
they must be very often changed and
cleaned, for whatever attacks them must
be replaced as often. or it will gain
ground and destroy the works. The two
sets repaired is done Oh a different plan
than when entirely new. for the teeth
are screwed on the bars instead of 'hav-
ing the bars cast red hot on them, which
is the reason believe they dissolve SO
soon near to the bars"

THE AMERICAN BOY.

Yen cay you were born here-that settles

You see, the American standard was set
Quite high at the first. and It's rising stIll
higher;
No American boy is allowed to forget
That he cannot be great through the fame
Of his sire.
The men who are great on our history's
That speaks of our work for our FIRST hun
dred years,
Whose fame Is increasing as age after age
Rolls backward, to drown In the gulf OF
the years,
Are great from the fact that they stood for
Regardless OF person, OF place, or Of pelf;
They battlcd each evil that rose into sight
For the good OF their fellows, forgetful Of
self.
This is what is expected. You may have

Overashadowed the land; where the poor
turned their eyes
From their novels, far out over mountain

To the sunset Republic, where liberty's

Smiled down on the homes Of the free and

Being born an American. can't be denied
Gives man fair start on the highway

Or Of wealth, or whatever else he may de-
To deserve, to achieve and attach to his

But whoever would win must be ready to
work;
He must earn and secure before he may
In all the wide field there's no sheaf for the
shirks-
1t means this to be an American boy.
You may not be selected for perilous trips
over mountains and glaciers, or sail In

Then take to the waves on catamaran.
But you must be ready. and stand by your
Wherever you find them, as firm as the

By lawful adoption Of fortunate birth.
Then hold your head high. your eyes on the

And stripes Of our banner, your hand firm

Like Galahad strong because you are pure.
Stand fast for the right. Look well to your

0NCIPIENT Fourth Of July enthu-
siasm was astir as the Millville &C

discharging a cheery-faced, portly gentle
man Of 50, carrying bullying satchel.'

time to get a shower-bath from a pack
Of 6recrackers flung by a crowd of urch-
ms, enveloping him in q veritable blaze
Of glory"
Hi! you young imps!' he roared--but
the coterie only grinned, for their victim
was chuckling as though he enjoyed the
excitement, tossed them n quarter. and
laughingly strolled over to the farmers
wagons lining the square.
"There's the best-natured man l ever

marking as the man sauntered up

Rolfe Burton. an orphan from an early
age, had experienced some hard knocks
and single-handed, had fought his way
to quite competency.
Two miles from Millville lived the only
relatives he knew. They were the Phil
lips and the Ames families. occupying
neighboring farms--his half-cOusins. lie
had driftcd down here few years back,
and they had made it very pleasant for
him. Especially had young George Ames
put himself out to entertain him. and
quite naturally winsome, warm-hearfed
Alma Phillips discovered kindred
friendship.
A great idea came into Buttons mind;
these two We're made for one another.
They were very young-only sixteen then
but mutually in love. 1t would be the
object of his life TO nurture their pretty
engagement. They would marry, he
would endow George with a farm. sug-
costing lfe-tenancy for himself as a
compensation.
Then came up the Spanish war. Burton
caught the martial fever-at homeland
the real malarial in the Philippines. Now
he was coming back to carry out his
original plans. and was joyful as vaca-
ton school boy, as he jumped down from
the wagon.
Hello he expanded as he neared the
