The efforts of the high school
athletic management in securing a
large attendance for the play

house Friday evening were repaid
by full house and every patrons
expectations were more than
realized by the production. Every

siors of praise. The net receipts

"A local dentist is telling a good
one on one Of his patients which
shows that a vein Of humor lies
within the bosoms of some men.
He says the patient in question had
had extracted large hollow tooth
which had panied him for years,
and after it was out asked for it
in order that he might take it home.
The dentist asked him what he
wanted with an old decayed tooth.
The patient winked knowingly as
a sad smile crept over his counter
ance and replied: I want to take
the id old tooth home, fill the
cavity with sugar, set it on the
table and watch it ache. That is
the only way I can get even with
it,"
Complaint is being made about
children coast1ng along certain
streets. While there is cause fol
such complaint it is not we'll to be
too hasty in the matter of stopping
the sport for the children 1t is true
that there is some danger connect
ed with coasting, but it is also true
that people run the chance of meet
ing with accidents when INDUCING
in other forms of amusement, but &
ban is not put on them. Ii it Is
particularly dangerous to coast or
certain streets, keep the coasters
off, but give them chance to enjoy
the healthful sport of sliding down
hill in at least certain parts of the
city. 1t would be a surly, selfish
person, indeed, who would not be
willing to occasionally step or drive
out of his way to give the coasters
a chance to pass. Persons are toe
apt to forget their more youthful
days when censuring the rosy
checked girls and boys for sliding
down hill. Keep the coasters away
from the really dangerous places,
but let them 60 where there is little
or no danger. Giveyoung America
a chance, for they will reach the
days when they can't coast, only
too soon.
