The movement on the part of the
merchants of Smyrna for Continu-
ing a night watchman is commend
able and there IS every reason to
believ@ that their efforts will prove
successful. John Wick the appli-
cant to succeed Charles Jones re-
signed, is an able-bodied and trust
worthy man and in the event of his
being given the place, the public
will have the confidence that one
OF the best men obtainable is watch
ing during the long hours of night
The Town Council also gave hearty
encouragement to the movement
and while they could not find it ex-
pedlent to employ or contribute to
the fund directly for the reason that
they could not tax all the people
tor the patrol Of only one part of the
town. They nevertheless have
agreed to swear whatever night
watchman the merchants secure
with full powers Of town officer
and to employ him as a special po-
lice for Saturday nights and special
0.0 rs. Smyrna needs a night
watchman. 1t is protection in
the case of fire as well as burglary
aud nightly depreciation. Themer-
chants and business men have re-
sponded literally in their support
and new watch system may 90 in

The Story of Tooth Pulling by Peter
the Great.
e 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 favorte valet de
chambre seemed very melancholy. The
ear asked him what was the matter
"Oh, your majesty" said the man.
my wife is suffering the greatest az
ony from tOothachc and she obstinate
" refuses to have the tooth taken out"
IF 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 vas not suffering at
all; there was nothing the matter with
her.
That is the way she talks. vour
majesty" said the valet. 'Sbe is suf-
fering tOrtures."
Hold her head and hands" said tho
ear Il will have it out in a 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
ms wife, who had never had an un-
sound tooth in her head.-Argonaut.

when that road was absorbed by the

When be desired to be relieved of
some of the burdens of a very active

man of sterling integrity, tried under
all circumstances, as illustrated by his
arduous duties during the Civil War,
