A little girl suffering with tooth
ache, was in his chair to have the
tooth removed. She refused TO let
him proceed at first, being afraid of
the pain. SIT wont hurt you, little
one said the dentist. "There, now,
open your mouth. 1t won't hurt" !"
Half minutes work removed the
tooth, and as the little girl cried
softly the dentist said: Didn't 1 tell
you it wouldn't hurt? What do you
think of me now:- Looking up at
him with her big brown eyes she re-
piled: II think you're the biggest
liar in town." The dentist has quit
telling people'tooth pulling doesn't
hurt.-Rich Hill (Mo.l Review.

the regular box of his farm wagon. and
he may for some kinds of rough and

MORNING COLLISION

There was a miraculous escape from
a bad accident on oFrt street, near
Hotel, this forenoon.
At about 1880 O'Clock Mrs. Dwyer
drove along down Fort street and tied
her horse just outside of the Lyons
bookstore at the corner of Hotel.
She went into one of the stores near
by but was soon attracted outside by
noises that betokened excitement Of
some kind.
Running out, Mrs. Dwyer was in
time to see Hack 50, driven by a Chi
naman, lock wheels with her own car
riage. There was a short struggle and
the horse in the Chinamans hack
breaking away, ran down the street.
Mrs. Dryers horse became very much
excited and started to run away but
was held by bystanders.
Eye-witnesses state that the China
man came down Fort street just at
the time a Rapid Transit care had
stopped at the corner He attempted
to squeeze in between the Dryer car
riage and the car but his horse be-
came frightened swerved TO one side
and caused the miX-up already re-
ferred to. The fellow was arrested
The Rapid Transit cars motorman
was o, Schultz. He had nothing to
, do with the accident, being at a full
stop, going mauka, when the China
man cried to squeeze through.
Aside from the scratching OF of a
little paint and the breaking of parts
of the harness of the Chinaman's hack,
there was no damage done.

Was looking For a Mar.

A traveller tells q story Of an
American in Scotland that illus
trates well the imperturbability of
the Scottish temperament.
The American, a bicycler, came to
the shore of a lonely lake and saw
in a boat a man examining the depths
of water with water telescope.
The man conducted this examina-
ton languidly, He would pause ev-
cry little while to light his pipe and
to converse on the weather or some
such Indifferent subject with a
friend who sat upon the bank, now
reading a newspaper and now toss
ing pebbles idly into the stream.
The American got off his bicycle
to rest, and in an interval of silence
he said to the man seated on the
bank:
"What is your friend looking for
-oystersp"
"No, Ny brother-in-law," was the
reply.

The Supreme Test.

81 am not entirely convinced by
either your speech or your gait that
you are intoxicated" said the Bos-
ton policeman as he gravely shook
his head.
The man he had halted swayed a
little, then suddenly Strengthened up
and discreetly hiccoughed behind his
hand.
"pll have to give you the supreme
test" the officer continued, with a
little sigh of commiseration. "Say
transcendentalism.'
Butthe unhappy one fell down on
the last syllable and thereupon was
hauled away to the nearest prison
cell.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Against Reckless Hunting.

There seems to be an instruction
among the farmers of Big Stone
county, all because the gentle sports
man is preparing to go forth with
dog and gnn, and reckless drivers to
tramp down the flax, tie corn and the
millet, knock over shocks of wheat
and oats, kill, MAIN and scare the live
stock, open up fences and leave down
bars and gates, dive indoors the far
mer's family by reckless shooting,
bag turkey or tame goose occa
sionally, laugh with innocent glee to
see the choice setter wrestle with the
choice sheep, dig deep pits for goose
shooting, burn up a few tons of hay
by the excessive use of coffin nails,
spoil many tanks of water that the
oyer heated setter may cool his rich
blood, and incidentally kill off every
feathered thing in the country there
by removing any chance that the far
mer may enjoy taste of the tooth
some fowls his grain has raised and
fattened. 1t is for such triaes as
these that our farmer friends are
posting" their lands and making it
problematical whether the sporting
editor will get mess of chickens OF
30 days in the county Jail. But
whatever he gets the farmer is justi-
fed in protecting his premises, tho
we really believe that the many griev
ances Of the hunters are generally
committed by foreign hunters, those
thai come here for few days sport
with no thought of the future. Lo
cal sportsmen should, and we believe
generally do, have a reasonable re-
sonable regard for the rights of those
upon whose lands they trespass.-Or-

subservient officials.

Of the subseryiency Of Russian

It is said to pervade much Of the

the college, M, Barsky, came in the
evening to our rooms to see whether
the students were at work, as some
of them were wont to leave the
premises without permission. At the
entrance he met the beadle, retired

The "orass Widow"

EoThe origin of the term grass
widow" said philologist, els puz-
zling. Some say it came from the
French-that it was originally
grace widow that is, widow by
grace or courtesy. Others say it de-
rives'sfrom the old English custom
of a mans hanging out broom
when his wife was away overnight.
To hang out the broom was COM
mon phrase. When the thing was
done the meaning was that the
house had been swept clear of the
wife's presence, and the husbands
friends were to visit him and do
as they pleased. In time, instead Of
hanging out a broom, the husband
came to hang out only bunch +
grass. Thus he grew to be called a
grass widower' and his wife grass
widow. Philadelphia Record.
