IVithout the Light.

The experience of a local dentist the
other day brings back TO memory the
story told of the ScOtchman IN the early
days when the use OF nitrous oxide gas
first came into use.
A young woman. a stenOgraDher by
profession, dropped into the toOth-pull-
er's office with a badly swollen jaw
just as he was about to close business
for the day and asked If he could pull
the offending tooth. The affable ivory
carpenter saw the prospect Of an extra
dollar or two and with his most win
ming smile told the patient to take a
seat in the chair.
After thoroughly examining the cause
of all the trouble he said well, I'll
have to extract it. L guess. In re-
sponse to her feeble question. How
much will it be, doctor?" he replied,
lone dollar without the gas and two
dollars il we use gas"
The patient looked nervously at the
burning gas jet and said, We'll. could
mt 1 come back in the daytime, doc
tor, when it is light enough without
the gas?"

While a number of Superior Judges
were eating lunch a few days ago they
discussed the idiosyncrasies Of the law
yers prominent in the local courts. One
of the Judges. who has been on the
bench a number of years, told the fol-
lowing on a lawyer whose penchant for
borrowing car fare. always because
he had left home in a hurry and for
got his purse, had been commented on
more than once by his fellow practi
TONERS.
1T was about two weeks ago" said
the Judge. Il was walking down Mar
ket street, and when near the corner of
Sixth saw this lawyer crossing the
street. l saluted him and we stopped
and chatted a few moments about the
weather and several trivial subjects
Just as 1 was about to leave him he
said, BY the way, Judge. 1 left home
in a hurry this morning and forgot my
purse. Could you let me have car fare?'
Certainly 1 said, searching in my
pocket for a quarter. / found one. and
had just handed it to him when a
young man, evidently a collector,
stepped UP and presented a bill to my
friend. This will save me a trip out
to your Office said he.
Without so much as a blush my
friend paid the bill. 1t amounted to
81 80, and he abstracted that sum from
a well-flled purse he took from his
hip pocket"

LIVE AND LET LIVE.

A CORRESPONDENT who describes himself as
II who has been "a trade unionis for near upon
half century" writes to say that great deal of
the strife between labor and capital of late years due to
what he calls contemptuous treatment of the appeals
of workngmen when made the heads of great corpora
tons
His statement which is we'll worth noting begins with
cordial approval of editorial in The Call on
Unfortunate Cripple Creek but takes exception to the
assertion made therein that there plenty of capital
sts and Of corporations too for that matter who thew
were approached in proper spirit of fair mindedness
would only be glad to meet the demands labor in
an open honorable, straightforward manner perfectly
willing to live and let live"
In stating his objection that portion of the editorial
the writer says with the exception of portion quot
entire accord with the writer of the editorial

tury and often has it been my duty to wait upon en-
poyers touching the matter of wages and such other mat

world and have this say: until just recently
met with the least discourtesy to say contempt
The recent exception has been SO Overwhelming in the
contemptuous treatment of the workmen's appeal for
little consideration during these good times that il has
left in the breasts of employees just what might have
been expected by any man-nothng but contempt
for employers and their interests"

MaY Be Missing Links.

In appearance the Ainu, or aboriginal
race OF Japan, bear no resemblance to
any Oriental race. having neither he
scanty hair and almond eyes of the
Japanese nor the finer features of the
Chinese. They are above the stature
of these races and there Is no indica-
ton in their customs and habits that
they have ever had ideas in common.
The remarkable feature of the men is a
heavy growth of hair upon the body.
This does not appear in early youth,
but in later years. 1t is frequently a
thick coat, black and curly, extending
to the extremity of the upper and lower
limbs The hair and beard are much
thicker than those of any other known
race, and in old age the long. white,
flowing beard gives them a most ven

Unique Campaigning.


1t was during the days when Chris
Buckley was the king of San Fran
cisco. Bill Lyman was running for
Supervisor out in the Mission. Lyman
had a bunch of friends who were very
zealously campaigning for him. They
had been placarding and posting their
candidates name in every rOOk and
corner of the district.
One of Lyman's followers was gifted
with the art of painting. He, with a
number of other select Mission spirits,
conceived an idea Down to old No 8
frehouse they sauntered. 1t was
gathering place of the clans. While
steward and driver calmly slept the
Lyman forces went to work. First they
decorated the sides of the two big
blacks that hauled the hose wagon
with legends in white, Vote for Bill
Lyman for Supervisor" Then they
embellished the wheel spoLes of the
wagon with similar announcements and
completed the job by labelling the bat
tie cry along every length of hose that
lay IN the cart.
A clang Of the fire bell aroused the
slumbering firemen. Quickly the
wagon was rolling. Out into the street
went the perambulating apparatus.
When bluff old District Engineer
Kinaid arrived on the scene his eyes
lighted upon that team of painted
blacks. The roar the gruff firefghter
set UP was heard above the din of the
crash of axes and hosemen and it took
all of the pull No 3's men had to.
save their necks.

4 Hinter Night.

When out OF door a clustering roar doth
make the pOplars rock
And Winter rattles a [ the door and tries
to break the lock
A touch of fear is wakened by. the voices
of the night,
For cold is ever hungry and the north
wind loves to bite.
The home is like a fortress where our
treasures we bestow
Beset by revengeful and imperisha5le
foe.
But the heart takes on new courage and
forgets its sense of dread
When Willie puts his nightie on and cud-
dies into bed.
Why should the future darken with the
shadows of dismay?
We are the victors now, and shall be so
for many day
And If he sleeps and smiles with faith in
such as YOU and me.
What ought our trust in Wisdom far be-
yond our own to be2
Perhaps our place is humble in the toll
some march of life
Perchance we ne'er snail bear a glitter
ing trophy from the strife
But it's something just TO know this
youngsters glad and warm and fed
When Willie puts his nightie on and
cuddleS into bed.

After reading a popular novel, Tom
Mason prOpOunds the following
queries in Life and announces that any
one supplying the correct answers will

Why cid the town nestle among the
hills?
Why did she feel a mantling blush
steal over her cheeks?
How did it happen that a strange
sense Of unrest swept over him?
What was it that she swept out Of
the room?
why did she never look more
strangely beautiful than upon that
evening?
What made him hecl the ashes from
his cigarette?
How long did her heart stand still?
Who deserted the ballroom. and why?
Why did the cold wind that famed
their checks feel so good?
Why did it seem to her as If all the
light had gone out of her young Iife?N
What made the house stiller than
death that night?
When confronted by the lawyers, why
was he visibly affected?
Why was she the life Of the whole
gathering when her heart told her that
all was lost?
Why did the dog look up at that mo-
ment and wag his tail, as II he. too, un-
derstoOd her?
What chOked his utterance?
What made her look back on that day
all the rest Of her life?
Why was there a long pause?
Why were her hands so nerveless
when she let the telegram drop?
What made her suspect that he had
been drinking?
Why did he clutch the photograph so
wildly?
What made her feel intuitively?
Why did mis- voice have a ring OF trt-
umph as he spoke?
Whose arm was she on when she went
up the aisle?
And why was her face. though pale,
so radiantIy beautiful?
And why did the organ peal?

The Christmas Tree.

at Is natural for US to take II for
granted that there have always been
Christmas trees. yet fifty years ago
there were few in America, save in
the homes of foreigners" says a writ
er in Country Life in America. About
thirty years ago a number Of duck
hunters cruising along the coast OF
Maine noticed the millions of young
balsam frs which grew along the
shores, and the brilliant idea occurred
to one member of the party that these
symmetrical evergreens would make
excellent Christmas trees. At this
time the abandoned farm era had be-
gun and it looked as IL the whole
State would grow up to frs. The bal
sam fir used to be a synonym for
worthlessness. Nowadays Canada
balsam is made tfrOm this tree and
thousands of vacation tourists gather
it's young twigs for balsam pillows.
But the wood has always been useless
to the Iumberman. Therefore, when
the New York yachtsman offered to
buy few shiplOads of young frs, the
honest Maine farmers failed to see
the joke. But when the city man
opened his purse they fell to with a
Will.
The first venture proved a success.
and others hurried into the business.
Ten years later the whole coast of
Maine was stripped of frs anC the
business moved inland. From this
beginning the trade has grown until
now million and A half of Christmas
trees are sold every year in New YORK
and New ENGLAND of which about a
million come from Maine alons.'
