WINS OR LOSES A PATIENT.
Little God of Love Is Responsible for Variations in the Income of
 Dentist.

Cupid has more to do with making the dentists income an uncertain and variable quantity than any other single influence. A dentist who from the girlhood of Gladys Vanderbilt yearly received fat fees for keeping her teeth in order remarked recently with re- gret at the loss of this source of reve- nue after she became Countess Szechenyi.
 "A dentist never knows" he added, when marriage is going to rob him of one of his most profitable patients. I am proud that it has been my expert- ence that persons who have come to me to have their work done always come back again if their teeth need attention-until Cupid comes in to up- set my calculations.
 Whenever I hear of one of my pa tients planning wedding know that I am going to lose a patient or win a new one. The bride and bridegroom almost invariably go to the same den- tist. From my standpoint it's case of lose one or win both"
 The element of uncertainty that such a condition provides makes the poor dentist uneasy at times about the size of future ncomes.-Philadelph Evening Telegraph.

DOG THAT TOLLS FOG BELL.
Intelligent Animal Is Invaluable As- sistant to Keeper of Isolated
 Light Station.

Off the shores of Alaska, on small, rocky island, is a little light station, connected with which is a fog bell. During the continuance of dense fogs, which frequently prevail, the bell is used to warn vessels of the dan- ger of approaching too near the island and coast.
 The lightkeeper has a large and very intelligent shepherd dog that an swers to the name of Don Carlos. This dog has been trained to toll the fog bell when the weather is very heavy. So well trained is Don Carlos that, when the fog comes rolling in he rushes, unbidden by the keeper, to the bell and begins to tug at the rope and to sound the alarm.
 Don Carlos often takes his turn at the bell during the night when the keeper is busy looking after the light
 T do not see how I could get along without Don Carlos" the keeper de- clares. T am all alone and have no other assistant; but I can always rely implicitly on my dog. He knows his duty and faithfully performs it. wheth- CT told to do so or not

The Return of The Fischers

Mrs. Waidvogei naI not finished her third cup of afternoon coffee when Mrs Fischer came in. Four months hefore Mrs. Fischer had said farewell to all of her friends, for she was re- turning to Germany to live in peace, comfort. quiet and comparative lux ury after years of hard work in Amer ica. Mrs. Waldvogel asked no ques- bons. Like a sensible woman she poured a cup of coffee and cut some cake for the unexpected guest. Then Mrs. Fischer explained, without being pressed, and she spoke in English, though German came more natural to her.
 "Ach." she said, shaking her head dolefully, what mistake! Nothing what thought. Potsdam Is still beau tiful. yes but the living had me near grazy. like to live good and can pay for It. But my own mother near so though she is. says right away:

 You'll ruin everything with your American ways. All our good serv- ants will be ruined and want meat three times the week. Count them out their coffee beans. Weigh them out the lard for their good, rye bread. Let them have an onion to it, or the fat of the ham. Let them have their good, nourishing, fine bean soup. Give them wuerst to it once the week But, Freda, don't let them have meat. It makes them lazy And the butter and eggs! Oh, this America; this Amer lea It has spoiled me my own chid!'
 You'll ruin the servants here, she said, walking up and down wringing her hands. A mark, or two marks for the New Year. Very good! But will you give mark here and a mark there every time they do the work they should to do?'

Our Real Leisure Class.

Does any one think longingly of our harried and driven rich as the leisure class?" Far from it are they. Dashing hither and yon from dawn to dawn every day in the year, at the call of emulation, none has less leis- ure than they. To see the real leis- ure classes of America visit Central park There, on the benches and on the grass, you will see them-nurse- maids, sitting perfectly idle for hours while baby sleeps in his cab or frol- ics on the grass; grandma or grand pa keeping idle guard over the third, or even the fourth generation and miscellaneous collection of buns, stretched out wherever they can be most comfortable and caring not a whit that the world moves so long as they do not have to. They under stand the real thing in leisurc.-New York Press.

Strength of Early impressions.

Grown people have in general a very inadequate idea of the suscepti- bility of little children As a little tree is easily warped from it's true shape, so is the heart and the mind of a little child

The Fox Who Had Lost His Tail.
 A fox caught in a trap escaped with the loss of his brush Thereafter feel ing his life burden through the ridi- cule to which he was exposed, be schemed to bring all other foxes into like condition with himself, that in the common loss he might better con- ceal his own depriyations. He as. sembled a good many foxes and pub licly advised them to cut off their tails, saying they would not only look much better without them, but would get rid of the weight of the brush, which was a very great inconvenience. But one of them interrupting him said: "If you had not yourself lost your tail, my friend. you would not thus counsel us."-Aesop's Fables
