Notice..

To the Chairman of the Republcan
Convention.
DEAR SIR:-
/ desire t, express my thanks
to the convention for naming me as
a candidate for Coroner, but realiz
ing my posi- ion in the social and
business world, and that my name
would add nothing to the strength
of the patty to which belong, and
desiring to aid rather than retard
or injure its chances of success at
the polls in November, 1 most re-
spectfully ask that my name be
stricken from the list of candidates
named and some good man substi-
tuted, assuring you that the ticket
named shall have my hearty and
unqualified support. / am very re-
spectfully HENRY Boris.

HIS SCHEME A BOOMERANG.
II Came 6ack and Brought Trou5lo en-:
MIR. Green Wit.i Il.

Mr. Green Win II.
"When / was new in the busi-
ness" said the dentist, Il resorted
to good deal of freak advertising
My pet scheme was to send bills to
people whom l pretended to have
treated All these people we're to-
tai strangers. | simply selected
their names from the directory and
sent them bills for sums ranging
from SIS to $50. OF course | never
got any money! didn't expect
any-but l got plenty of advertis-
ing, which was what | was after.
Usually the people that got the bills
were hopping mad, and large per-
centage of them came down to the
office and demanded an explanation.
During those interviews | put on
my incest professional manners,
apologized for the mistake through
which they had been bothered by a
bill meant for somebody else, and
not infrequentgy the affair ended
by my securing a patron.
''But one day l met my match. l
had sent bill for $15 to a man
named II. s. Green for services rem
dered to his wife. Green and his
wife came down together. He did
most of the talking, but she had a
CLINT in her eye that told me she
was capable of butting in if occa-
sion demanded it,
81 received your bill this morn
ing said Green, but l refuse to pay
it on the ground that the work you
did for my wife was not satisfac-
tory
"That attack took the wind right
out of my sails. | was thrown COM
pletely off my guard. The work l
did for your wife?' l exclaimed.
why, good heavens, man, never
saw your wife in my lifep
Screen waved the bill right under
my nose. Fifteen dollars for serv-
ices rendered. he said significantly.
but | don't wonder that you are
trying to crawiish. 1t is an afro
cious piece of work. But you can't
get out of it. Here is your bill to
prove that you are responsible for
her condition. Will you kindly
make an examination and see if you
can't fix her up? If you don't I'll
be tempted to sue you for malprac-
ticc.'
swell, / saw that was in a tight
place, Green knew as well as ] did
that | had never set eyes on his
wife until that morning, yet he
meant business, and as my little adj
vertising scheme would not bear ex-
posure just then | was forced to
knuckle under. His wife really had
suffered at the hands of a woefully
incompetent dentist. 1t took me a
week to get her mouth into shape.
must have done at least $50 worth
of work before l got through, yet
there was that confounded bill fol
SIS staring me in the face, and the
only thing | could do was to accept
that paltry Sum in payment and call
the deal square. New York Press
