A HIGH PRICED AID.
The Bad Bargain That Was Made by
a French Dentist.


During a recent festival at Neuilly
young woman attracted the attention
of a large crowd by holding a heavy
bar of iron between her teeth. Among
those who watched her was a dentist,
and at the close of her performance a
luminous idea came to him. and he de-
termined to carry it out.
Going to the young woman, he said:
''Mademoiselle, | am a dentist, and
therefore 1 am more impressed with
the wonderful power of your jaws
than any one else. Now, l am about
to make a proposition to you. l will
give you $3.50 if you will write letter
to me saying that you do all this work
by the aid of a set of false teeth which
have manufactured for you"
After some thought the young wo-
man replied: 81 will accept your offer
on one condition. You must first give
me as many dollars as can raise from
the ground with my teeth"
The dentist hesitated a moment and
then said that he would give her in
dollars as many % cent pieces as she
could raise. To this she agreed, and
few minutes later the dentist was al
most stupefied when he saw her raise
a weight which was equal to that of
$4,000. 1t was costly advertisement
for the dentist.

The Disease Did Not FIT.

The doctor had paid visit to Mr..
Cassidy, and after his departure Mrs
Cassidy's friends in the tenement
stepped in to hear the verdict.
"Well," said Mrs. Cassidy, smooth
ing down her apron with an air of
modest triumph, ''the docther says
Moike seems to be having an attack
of plural pneumonia. but Oh says to him,
Oh says, 'Docther, you know well that
Moike is a shmall little man. OF says,
and amt you exaggerating bit, for,
to my thinking, single is all there'd be
room in him for Oh says. But whin
he went off his wurrd was unchanged,
SO it's plural pneumonia Moike has by
his telling, and sure it's grand, large
disease for so shmall man as him."

Mississippi Negro Pays Forfeit Of His
Crime.


Corinth, Miss, Sept. zS.-Writhing
in the flames of burning fagots piled
high by hands of citizens, Tom CLARK,
alias Will Gibson, young negro, was
burned at the stake here at late
hour today, after hiving confessed to
one of the most atrocious crimes in
the history of North Mississippi the
assault and murder of Mrs. Carey
Whitfield on August 10 last. Before
the torch was applied, Clark stated
that he deserved his fearful fate
Last August Mrs. Whitfield, the
wife of well known citizen was
found dead in her home. Investiga-
ton showed that the woman had
been assaulted and her practically
severed from her body with razor
Both Whitfield and his wife were re-
lated to several of the most promi
nent families in the south, and the
Indignation of the people knew no
bounds. Corinth and the surround
ing country were secured in an effort
to apprehend the murderer, but dill
gent search failed to disclose his
identity. Finally committee of II
citizens was called to continue the
search. On Monday last it became
known that Tom Clark, negro ilv-
ing near here, had had trouble with
his wife and the latter threatened to
disclose the secret of crime Off
GERS apprehended the woman and she
told enough to warrant the belief that
Clark had murdered Mrs. Whitfield.
Clark was arrested and yesterday
brought before the committee The
negro confessed to the murder and
also to other crimes that he had COM
mitted, among them the killing of
two men on an excursion train n
Mississippi. The committee decided
that the negro should be hanged from
a telegraph pole in the street. Clark
said that he deserved death, but
asked that the execution be delayed
until today SO that he could have a
farewell interview with his mother
and brother, who lived in Memphis
The request was granted and the two
relatives were telegraphed for, but
it was learned that they were in Mis-
sissippi.
Meanwhile the news of the negro's
arrest and confession spread over
the surrounding country, and today
incoming trains brought hundreds OF
people into the citv to witness the ex
ecution. The crowds became SO great
that at midday the main street OF
the town was ordered cleared and
the announcement was made that il
had been decided to burn Clark al
$3.50 in the afternoon. This state
ment caused intense excitement ape
surging crowds began to gather about
the place selected for the enactment
of the tragedy.

The old Surf RatI,.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and for aught l know, at 9TH
er points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons trun-
died down to the beach and were
swung around abreast of the line Of
breakers. Old fishhouses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes were those of
last years village street. A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hitched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy ex-whaler or life crew man in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles slipped his waist through
the loop at the end IF this primitive
life line and, wading out, kept it as
taut as circumstances permitted. while
the women and children hung to it and
reveled and wallowed and shrieked,
rejoicing in -their Saturday tub
Outing.

One Tunnel Less.

In travelling from Luzerne to Chiasso,
on the st. Gothard line, the train
passes through seventy-nine tunnels.
Now, how many tunnels does it pass
through from Chiasso to Luzerne?
"Seventy-nine, of course" will be the
natural answer. But this is not so, as
on its return trip it only goes through
seventy-eight tunnels This is because
at one point of the road. near Faldo,
the tracks are separated, one of them
passing through small tunnel, but the
other being laid on ground made from
material excavated from the tunnel.

Divers, Madness.

An Australian pearl diver says that
one of the strange effects of diving is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom of the sea. AS
this usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it is probably due
to the pressure of the air affecting the
lungs and through them the brain. The
exhilaration and good temper of the
mountain climber are contrary feelings
from an opposite cause. A diver be
comes so angry at some imaginary
wrongdoing on the part of those in the
boat above that he gives the signal to
be pulled up, with the intention of
knocking the heads off the entire crew.
only to forget what he came up for
when the surface is reached.

KILLED AT HINSDALE.

Another Old Timer Goes yer the
Divide From the Usual AIment.
John Wylie Davis. who came from
the southland years ago, because the
quiet country fretted his warllke and
adventursome spirit, was killed in
Hinsdale one week ago yesterday.
He had been engaged in card game
in Dick Pledges saloon with Kid
Norval, a cowboy, when an alterca-
ton arose over the game and the two
went outside to settle the trouble
with their sixshooters, as the Gus
tom of the country. Davis never gol
his six-shooter from his overalls, al
though he was fast with gun. The
Kid shot him through the chin and
put second shot into his bowels as
he went down and out.
Davis has had a wild and romantic
life, with enough incidents of thrill
ing nature to do an eastern settle
ment for a life time. Since he has
been in Valley county he has not had
a great deal of trouble. A couple OF
years ago ne ndu SliSnI dAePiSoIion
with Jim McNabb, horseman al
Hinsdale, and in the rifle practice re
suting therefrom McNabb was shot
through the shoulder and deserted
the battlefield in fog built up from
the smoking guns. Davis was a good
fellow and had many friends, but he
was also dangerous when things
were not going to suit him.
Norvilie, after the shooting, sad
died his horse and rode out Of town
heading south for the bad lands Of
the Missouri river.
Davis leaves a wife and two chill
dren to mourn his unfortunate death
