of dental exhibition most men prefer to do stunts in.
 And yet there are many who will walk up to street faker and let him yank out an offending moiar as an ad- vertisement for himself and because he will do the job for nothing. We have sometimes suspected that the teeth were also fakes. held in the mouth to be taken out without pain so as to bring grist to the operator. but we don't know. There are people who prefer public performances, even dental ones. but we are not in that class. In fact. if asked how we would prefer to have the operation performed we should unhesitatingIy say. "on some other man." But it Is one form of torture that all of us must submit to at some time, but we may choose the time and place, at least. The time is when it can no longer be postponed and the place very retired one. little chloroform is sometimes not a bad addi- tion to the ceremony.

 Its houses may be huts. it's streets with ruts; 1t may be as. dirty as New York, and yet these vast, majestic ta- bernacles of the air would redeem 1t to beauty. Time is the only architect of such structures, and blessed are they for whom time was pleased to fore think"

HAS BEEN THERE.

The Dean of the Chicago University tells his students that "a game of cards is great thing He is wise and no doubt speaks from experience with the pasteboards. We surmise that he has stood pat or raised in jack pots where the other fellow held the strong cards and he saw his own pile take its flight into the great beyond. In fact, he showed by other remarks that he had been there. He told the boys that a game of cards teaches self control. Suppose you draw a fine hand" he went on to say; you en- deavor to look calm, and not betray yourself, even by a twitch of an eye lash. Your judgment is made better and your wits sharpened."
 Now we know he has been there He has held a good hand, but was not certain it was winner He has watched the other players as the cat watches the mouse and tried to gather from their expressions just the kind of hands they held. We have been told that it is pretty hard for a player not to change countenance in some degree when he finds in his hand what he is pretty sure will take the pile. Then he wants to keep his face straight so as to get all the bets he can-so we are informed. A wise guy is that Dean

ToOTH-PULLING IN PUBLIC.

The Brooklyn Board of Aldermen have adopted an ordinance to cut out one species of public exhibition. They solemnly resolved that in future there shall be no tooth-pulling in public. It would seem that there ought to be no occasion for an ordinance of that kind. so far as the majority of people is con
 cerned. Most of us would prefer back room. with doors and windows closed and the lights turned low. Then we can kick and yell without danger of having the police called out or the fire alarm turned in. That's the kind

Alabama.

New York Commercial, May 23.
 For years following the close of the Southland pilgrims were won't to call at the Capitol of Alabama in Mont gomery merely to touch the Bible that Jefferson Davis pressed to his lips when he took the oath of office as President of the Southern Confederacy in 1861, or to stand in the identical spot on the State-house steps that was pressed by his feet on that memorable occasion As long ago as 1889 that spot had been worn to a deep hollow by the shuffling of these pilgrims soles-and not a few northerners had meantime contributed to the attrition. It was all in obedi- timent that all the world respects and admires; and the process is still going on, perhaps, with the generations born long since Appomattox.
 But the Alabama of 1905, although still true to the traditions of the fath- CTS and loyal to all her ante-bellum memories, is not the Alabama of the sixties, the seventies or of the eigh- ties. even. She has within a quarter of a century completely revoIutionized her industries, and Enterprise and Progress are words biazoned today on her every gateway, her every door post, on every sign-board even in her remotest "cross-roads.' Scant time has she for mere sentiment in these '65 buttoned up their paroles under their faded jackets of grey and went back to their devastated fields to kiss their wives and make a crop have transformed Alabama into a great and glorious country; and, as Henry Grady once remarked of his own Atlanta to General sherman, they have builded "cities beautiful;" they have somehow Caught the sunshine in their bricks and mortar" and into them they have put not one inch of "unholy prejudice" The Alabama of 1905 is shiningly ty- pical of the great New South-the South that has less and less of politics "to the square yard" as the years roll on and more and more of business; the South that knows no sectionalism but the sectionalism of trade and commerce and industry, and whose spirit of pro- gress Is unsurpassed anywhere in the world today.

HERE'S CONCEPT.

For genuine. smirking self-conceit the following from The New Bedford Standard is entitled to the chromo: Mir. Carnegie has made a wise move in offering to help establish a school for library workers in the South. Doubtless the North could supply all the libraries the South will establish with librarians; and probably an occa- sional Southerner might find 1t to his taste and his advantage to fit himself in Northern schools for the work Of librarian.
 We very much doubt if Boston itself can climb above that specimen. The South needs librarians; the North, in the plenitude of material. good will and commiseration will send all we need. If we should really advance far enough and pluck up enough ambition to en- trust Southern men or women with such important positions we must send them North to be trained so that they may be able to tell the names of the books and authors in the collection.
 Is it not high time that some of these exceedingly self-satisfied brethren of New England should admit that all knowledge is not nestled within the shadow of Plymouth Rock. nor Is all the learning and information stored in sight of Cape Codf If the editor of The Standard would sojourn down South a while he might stand chance to lose some of his conceit. unless his hide Is of the rhinoceros brand, and could go back with the conviction that learning and information are not the exclusive heritage and property of the people of Massachusetts.

 This is what The Milwaukee Sentinel said about the Montgomery man and his straw hat:
