The Story of Tooth Pulling by Peter
the Great.

The Story of Tooth Pulling by Peter
the Great.
Peter the Great particularly delight
ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly
enjoined his servants to send for him
when anything Of that sort was to be
done. One day his favorite valet de
chambre seemed very melancholy. The
car asked him what was the matter.
ooh, your majesty" said the man.
"my wife is suffering the greatest ag-
ony from toothache, and she obstinate
~ refuses to have the tooth taken out
eff that is ALL" said Peter. 1--WE will
soon cure it. Take me to her at once
When they arrived the woman de-
clared that she was not suffering al
all; there was nothing the matter with
her.
"That is the way she talks, your
majesty" said the valet. "She is suf
fering tortures."
Hold her head and hands," said the
car. 81 will have it out in minute
And he instantly pulled out the indi
Gated tooth with great deXterity, amid
profuse thanks from the husband.
What was Peters indignation to dis
cover a little later that his valet had
used him as an eXecutioner to punish
his wife, who had never had an I'M
sound tooth in her head.-Argonaut.

The PitiIess "Fohn."

On a winters night of 1861 half the
town of Glarus, in the Alps, went roar
ing up in fame to heaven, while the
pitiless fohn ragged and ragged and
Knocked at the efforts of salvors sum-
moned from half the cantons of Swift
Zerland, and the glow of the burning
town was seen a hundred miles away
In the Black forest. The bells were
rung for help till the ropes were burn
ed away, and, most grewsome of all,
the countless wooden crosses of the
churchyard graves furnished almost
the last fuel to revive the dying flames.
The fohn is a hot south wind-a kind
of Swiss khamseen-Which was long
supposed to originate in the Sahara
and to cross the Mediterranean, find
ing no height to break upon till it came
to the st. Gothard. where it was
forced through the pass with concen-
trated violence. What really causes it
is still a matter of doubt. but it can do
great mischief still and could do more
in the days Of wooden houses.-Black-

transferred her attention from the
amorous pair at the piano TO the new
conner.
s'Oh, Miss Philbrick,' she called.
MAY 1 speak with you moment?''
Blanche came forward, wondering
what Mrs. Castleton might have to
say. Evidently from the fat smile that
adorned the landlady's face she was
about to ask a favor.

ThurSday?" went on Mrs. Castleton.

matrOn. seeing from Blanche's face
that she did not understand "All the
rest Of the folks are going home for
the day or will spend it with friends"
"T have no friends here in the city,"
said Blanche frankly, ''and home is so
dreadfully far away"
Home had never seemed so far away
as at that moment. She had left her
home when her father married again.
There was no place she might call
home, not even the little room up
stairs
Mrs. Castleton's face fell at the an
nouncement II was thinking that if
you was going out, too" she explained,
Il might let the servants have the day
out Then we could have the turkey
and things on Sunday" she added as
proof that her motives were not mer-
cenary.
Guy Blaisdell noted the girls embar-
raSsment and came to her relief 'You
have left me out of this discussion"
he cried gayly. I'm one Of the home

join me in the formation Of the Society
For Making People Thankful"
Mrs Castleton eyed Blaisdell appre-
hensively. She never was certain
where his remarks would lead. Only
that morning he had led her on in
praise Of the butter and had wound up
by declaring it to be the strongest but
ter he had ever tasted. Blaisdell caught
her glance and FASTENED to put her
mind at rest
'"This is an admirable ORDER he ran
on. II know where there is a place
where they give real old fashioned
New England cooking. They are going
to spread themselves Thursday. If
Miss Philbrick will be my guest she
will make me very thankful and at the
same time she will make the servants
thankful, too, by giving them chance
to go to the matinee instead of worry

For a moment Blanche heSitated. 1t

her soul revolted at the very thought
of Thanksgiving dinner in Mr. Castle

not yet accustomed herself to the IN
formality Of dinner with compare

ron.
She knew that chaperOns were not
considered necessary where girls earn

little daring. But Blaisdells eager

morning. The committee of public safe

the purpose of avoiding foreign inter-

last night have been arrested
For many hours during the night,
following the flight of Nord Alexis, riot
and pillage prevailed in Port Au
Prince. The populacc, maddened by the
spirit of revolt, turned from the skin
that carried their Geposed President to
the French training ship Duguay
Trouin, and gave full vent to their pas
sions. They looted stores and residences
and fought among themselves over the
booty, and We're only held In check
by an armed force, hastily gathered
together by Gen. Poidevin, which fired
a volley into the mob and drove the
rioters from street to street and final
u into seclusion. In all IL persons
were killed and many wounded before
order was restored.
So serious did the situation become
that Il committee of public safety. COM
posed of the most prominent military
leaders was organized: scores of citi-
zcns were placed under arms to await
the loyal troops in patrolling the city
and today comparative tranquility
reigns. The American. French and Ger
