The Tooth Game Back.

She was going to the poultry yard
to give the chicks their supper She
was a disciple of deep breathing and
never lost an opportunity to inhale
and exhale vigorously when she was
out in the fresh air On this occa-
sion one of her porcelain teeth flew
from its bridge and long search
failed 10 bring It to light, She lived
far from dentist and was in de-
spair, but on the very day on which
she had decided to go to the city to
have her tooth replaced she prepared
fat hon for dinner TO have in readi-
ness when she should return, hungry
and with her full complement of teeth.
When she opened the crop her sur
prise and delight were unbounded-
for there was her white porcelain
tooth with its two tiny pivots unin-
iured and its porcelain none the wo- Sc
for its soiourn in the interior regions
of chicken. She tells it only to a
few intimate friends. for every one
does not know that her cleaning
white teeth are partly porcelain.

Dom, Know When to Stop.

No person will deny that every man
ought to have a work TO do, something
to which he can devote his best euer-
sies and abilities. In this country.
however, we do not seem to have
reached that point where we know
when to stop. The mistaken notion
seems to prevail that the man who ac-
complishes his aims must die in the
harness; that, ike the captain. he
must stick to the ship til the last.
And when this spirit is applied to
the mere amassing of millions. the
purpose, too, becomes sordid and an
natural It were far better for such
persons as have gained a competence.
and a great deal more, to retire from
the commercial battlefield and give

enjoyment of life-to going about and
doing good for others, If you please.

GOOD JOKE ON THE OFFICERS.
Long and Stern Chase Of College Stu

a group OF them nonchalantly passed a

ct Then, as il recollecting himself in
time, he hastily withdrew It and looked
sheepishly al the policeman.
What have you in that pocket?" the
latter asked sternly.
Instead OF answering, the student
and all his companions, as il panic
stricken, started TO run. Immediately
the policeman blew his whistle, sum
moned several Of his companions, and
started after the group After a con
siderable chase in the course of which
the policemen were badly winded and
reused to a great pitch of anger, all
the students were cornered. and sum
marily ordered to deliver up what
