Don't Grit Your Teeth.


"No teeth to fill,'' the dentist said tc
the man in the chair, "but you are
grinding off your teeth more than you
ought to. Do you grit your teeth in
your sleep?"
And the man said he didn't stay
awake long enough to know about that
but were they much ground off?
More than. they ought to be at your
age" said the dentist. You have
worn the enamel off from some OF
them and got down to the dentine."
whats going to happen" asked
the victim
"Why, if you keep on grinding
them off," said the dentist, 1.-The teeth
will hollow out and We'll have to put
plugs in them with gold tops to give
them new grinding surfaces"
This wasn't very pleasant pros
pect. so later the man sought to as
certain for himself whether he did grit
his teeth unduly. And while he was
still unable to stay awake long enough
to find out. he did discover that he had
habit at times Of gritting his teeth in
his waking moments. when he sat back
from his work to think of something,
for instance. And he made up his
mind that he would stop that, anyway,
and he hoped that he might thus stop
grinding his teeth in his sleep, if he
did so grind them. For, fine as they
might be, he didn't want any of those
nice little gold-capped plugs put in his
teeth if he could help it.-New York

An Interesting little treasure hunt is
causing some excitement in STAFFORD
shire village, says the London Mail.
The treasure hunters are not rushing
round with surveyors chains and pick
axes. but they search very patiently
| and very persistently in old boots and
stockings, pieces Of newspapers, behind
wall paper and wainscoting and in
black bottles. They are searching for
the accumulated wealth Of one Joseph
| Atwood, who, with his brother, kept
the Vine inn at DELPHI, Brierley Hill.
Joseph died not long ago, and his
brother being unable to transact the
business it was transferred.
The brothers Atwood had curious
ideas as to the conduct of their busi-
ness and the employment of capital
ideas. which would commend them
selves to no self-respecting economist.
When the elder brother died there was
hunt for the money which it was
known he had saved. In one of the
rooms, which had not been opened for
fifteen years, $500 in gold was found.

CHAPTER XIV-Continued :.

The northsiders guarded their traps
It was believed that with the approach
Of night the southsiders would stea
upon the traps in squads and attemp
their destruction. The trouble hac
been too long brewing to give up aftel
one slight engagement. The fishermen
on both sides felt that principle wal
involved and they were there to settle
it by might. The gillnetters declared
that the traps were gradually destroy
ing the run of fish while the trappert
claimed that the gillnets were doing
greater harm to the industry than the
traps. The men had spent their lives
fishing, the support of their families
depended upon it, and it was truly 6
vital issue with them.
The run of fish was getting lighter
every year and whatever the fault
might be it was evident that the in.
dustry would soon become a thing o1
the past. It was natural that both
sides should strike hard now as each
respectively considered that the other
was the cause of the dying industry.
The shore people had communicated
with the men ON the water several
times during the day. The women had
prepared meals and sent them out by
the boys of the village to number Of
the men. But the fishermen were bad
ly scattered and many of them went
without meals. S..
Sankala had made many inquiries
for Dan Lapham but he had not been
seen since the departure of the boats
from the north shore.
He had led the way and given direc-
tions fcl the men to follow. But no
one who had come ashore could give
any tidings of the young fisherman.
Sankala had prepared two meals and
sent them out by the boys but they
were unable to find him.
When night came still there was no
tidings from the young fisherman.
The girl could endure it no longer.
She prepared enough lunch for a siege
and slipped away to the beach unob-
served. She knew that if Dan had not
been killed or captured, he would be
found near his trap at the lower end
of the bay.
The night was very dark, and a
storm was brewing, but she believed
that she could make it to his trap be-
fore it grew too dangerous.
She tried the fishing boat but her
strength was not sufficient to launch
it. Then she drew a snail skiff to
the waters edge. 1t would not live in
a heavy storm, but Sankala knew that
if she could reach Dan his strong arms
would bring her safely ashore again.
The roar of the surf on the bar was
already distinct. An occasional white
cap leaped above the murky horizon to
the southwest. Dark, misty clouds
obscured the last star. The wind was
already moaning in the boughs of the
tall frs on the hills.
Sankala showed the light craft into
the water, and, guided by the interval
flashes from Cape disappointment
light house, she pulled toward the foot
of the rocks where lay the fish trap
tended by Dan Lapham.

Startling Area OF Coal Fields

SCarCIInR AFeH Oh COHI F1cIuD.
It is estimated by experts that the
area of American coal fields, at present
open to mining, is more than five times
as great as that of the coal fields of
England, France, Germany and Bel
GUM; the great coal producing coun-
tries of Europe While practically all
the available coal areas Of those coun-
tries have been opened to mining, ours
have scarcely been estimated. When
we take into considerat ton the fact
that coal is one Of the great motive

Is evident that this immense wealth of
coal will be of such an advantage to
the United States as to be beyond any

CDR" Dewing Beat Railroads and

CHICAGO, March 31.-As @ result of
what he declares was his effort to as
sist the poor of Chicago OR" Dewing,
who claims that he is a clergyman, has
been arrested charged with robbing
the railroads which have headquarters
In Chicago Of thousands of dollars
worth Of transportation. All Of the
money thus secured was used for char
ity. At least this is the substance Of a
confession made by Dewing.
Dewing, who is said to have made a
practice Of buying mileage tickets at
half rates, claiming that he was a min
lister, and then selling the tickets to
Chicago brokers, was arrested in the
offices Of the Michigan Central railway
while waiting for a ticket to be coun-
tersigned by officers Of the company.
In his confession Dewing said: Eyes;
l admit that l purchased mileage at
preachers rates and sold It to ticket
brokers. used every cent of the mon
ey to better the condition Of the poor
OF Chicago, though, and If l have
greatly sinned I'm sure that God will
overlook the fault"

BaRalo, Rochester, Syracuse and

NEW YORK, March 31.-Men who
follow closely the national situation in
politics feel confident in predicting an
instructed delegation for Judge Parker
to the st. Louis convention because of
the result Of the primaries in the state
says the New York World.
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and
many smaller cities, with their coun-
ties, have elected Parker delegates, so
that Notwithstanding the fact that
Brooklyn will have only fifty-four Par
ker delegates instead Of sixty three, as
was expected by Senator McCarren,
Judge Parker seems assured of a good
working majority in the state conven-
ton.
1t is thought now that the situation
has cleared and there is no longer any
thing to be gained by fighting Judge
Parker that the leader of Tammany
Hall will see the wisdom of indorslng
him.
In. Buffalo, where william j. Con.
nors controls the party organization, he
made a fight for Murphy, for delegates
to go uninstructed. Connors lost the
delegation, Norman e. Mack carrying
all but one Of the assembly districts.
