The bachelor maid, she said o no!

The other night party of mis-
creants entered the Calais public IL

Some time ago a York county man
who was deaf, came to Saco with
young friend who was suffering with
the toothache. A call was made at
the Office of local dentist. The

where he would agree to have it
yanked. The tooth came hard and the
young man shouted like a tribe of wild
Indians making so much noise that he
raised the roof a. couple of inches and
stopped the office clock. The deaf
friend who stood by the dentists chair
could hear nothing of the tremendous
disturbance the youth was making,
and after it was all over patted him on
the back and said. Good pluck, my
boy. good pluck, to have such a tooth
pulled and not make any fuss about it,"
The dentist tainted.
