 Finally however, struck an affair with peculiar rounded hook on the working end, and with 1t I brought the tooth out. But the mess that I left I fled from the dentists office for the base ball game, leaving the instruments just as I had dropped them.
 The dentist himself was mighty par ticular chap. He ddn show up at his office again until Monday morning and when he found hls instruments corroded with rust he started out on the warpath.
 "For three days he sought in vain for the culprit, but on the fourth one of my chums told him 1 was one tooth shy and that I was boasting I'd pulled 1t myself. Well, before the row was over 1t cost my father SIP for new dental instruments.
 "Now this un here,' the old man went on, was lost when I was 21, and 1t was a ripper. I was in Iowa, then.
 There were a good many Germans there and in the fall we used to have a big dance in the town hall every week. I was a member of the committee that was to decorate the hall for one of these dan ces, and so also was the town dentist, who had an office right over my store-I was a druggist then.
 "I was up on a stepladder hanging a wreath of flowers, when suddenly my tooth seemed to jump almost out of my jaw. It was the f1ercest toothache I'd ever had.
 Doc. said to the dentist, come on over and snake this out; I can't stand it any longer
 q laid myself down in the dentist chair, and the doctor he pulled until he was almost blue in the face.

STRANGE WAYS TO DIE

From London Answers
 The other day Pimlico woman was killed by falling upon jug, which broke and cut her arm so badly that she bled to death.
 This curious accident recalls another, which occurred a year or two ago in a. shop in Cambridge row, Mile End. Wolf Levine, son of a mineral water manufac- turer. was opening a bottle of lemonade. when it burst. A sharp fragment of glass flew up and drove deep into the young fellows throat infiicting a wound which proved fatal.
 Some years ago a tipsy man was turn ed out of Manchester public house Tor making disturbance. He tried to force his way back, and in the struggle the door was shut upon his fingers.
 Ten minutes later he was found dead in the street Examination by doctor showed that he had been suffocated by a piece of skin, which was stuck in his windpipe Evidently his finger had been badly pinched in the door. and, naturally enough he had put it in his mouth. A piece of broken skin passed down his throat, caught in the air passages, and suffocated him.
 Excessive Exercise.
 A most extraordinary case occurred at Yarmouth some little time ago. A lady who taught music was accustomed to take exercise every morning with patent apparatus One morning she was heard exercising as usual then there came a heavy thud, and afterward silence.
 No one paid much attention, but when

Warning to Smokers.

From the Kansas City Journal
 Abstinence from tobacco in any form is responsible for my hair turning white in the last year. declared w. H. Smith, travelling man of Joliet, H., at the Kupper hotel last night. Two years ago l was an inveterate smoker of heavy. black cigars. At that time I was very nervous, in fact was on the verge of a general breakdown. had tried several of the tobacco cures and had gone to French Lick. Hot Springs and other places. When I would get fin the hot room at these places the attendsHz would fairly scrape the nicotine off my skin.
 q kept on smoking until a little over a year ago, when my doctor told me that if cared to live much longer I would have to cease the use of tobacco in any for me to break myself of the habit but 1t had to be done. he said. We'll, broke myself of the habit, but it took great deal of will power, and I was i'll for @ couple of months. Then my hair began to whiten. There is not a white hair in my family and became frightened. My doctor told me that the color of the hair on my entire body, in addition to my head and mustache. would turn white, due to the reaction following the ex- cessive use of tobacco. Since then I have been getting whiter each week. There is not hair on my body that is not either touched with white or en- tirely so."

she failed to come to breakfast they
 went to her room. The poor lady lay dead on the floor. with one of the cords of the exerciser twisted round her neck. It was plain that the disaster was purely the result of the accident. The cord had got round her neck. and in attempting to free herself she had lost her footing, with the result that she had been liter ally hanged.

But the creature's beak must have been poisoned, for lockjaw was the result and the man was dead in less than a week. Two cases have recently been reported of deaths caused by hairpins or combs. The first was in Paris. A woman, get ting out of train. stumbled, and fell on her head. An aluminium hair comb pierced her skull, and caused her death. The other similar fatality happened at Gothenburg. At dance last winter a
 young ladys dress was caught in an off, Cer s spurs. Sne trlpped up, and fell heavily on her head. Here, too, what Is
 described in the German account as
 "a metal hairpin'' was driven into her skull, with fatal results.
 The Teeth and the Wind.
 False teeth have not infrequently kill ed their owners. A gentleman went down to the beach at Southsea to bathe, and was in the act of undressing, when he was seen to tumble down. He was found blue in the face and choking, and be- fore anything could be done for him was dead
 It was afterwards discovered that he had swallowed his plate A very cold wind was blowing at the time, and it is supposed that it was his shiverfng which caused the tragedy. The moral seems to be that either you should not bathe on cold days. or else that if you must do so, you should leave your false teeth at home
 As we go to press comes the news of another extraordinary death, caused by a dry shampoo To a lady customers head was applied a lotion of tetrachloride of carbon. the fumes of which she in- haled. This alone would not have been sufficient to cause her death; but, un- fortunately. the lady had weak heart, and the jury found that its sudden fail- ure had certainly been accelerated by the tetrachloride fumes.

MEMS STYLES.
Gray and Green Will Be Popular Colors.

From the Washington Herald.
 According to Thomas R. Thayer, who Is in the tailoring and mems furnishing business in New York, the styles In men 8 clothes are unusually late this year In taking definite form.
 '"There are plenty of buyers in New York;" he said last night at the Arling ton, 'and there are lots more coming, but they are taking numbers and not placing orders. The trouble Is that mo- body can say yet what the styles for mems suits are going to be this winter, and until the matter sifts down to more of a certainty the buyers are afraid to commit themselves.
 "You know the styles in mems clothes are not dictated from Paris, as they are in womens gowns, but are decided in New York. The tailors practically have the matter in their own hands, and al though they take ideas from European fashions. and combine part of one model ! with part of another, the product as it finally goes on the market and on the style plates is decided by the tailors. Every year there Is national conven- tion of tailors, at which the question for the coming season is discussed and ideas are exchanged by the men who make clothes in all parts of the country.
 "So far as we can tell at this time the prey dlllllS COlOi lof licn SuitS VIII pc gray and green. Green will be used a great deal. The browns that were so pop ular while ago are rapidly disappearing and will not be featured this season.
 "One of the innovations that is making a hit in New York is the use of blue in headgear. Blue fedoras, and even blue derbies are appearing in the smart haber- dashery stores of Gotham, and there is every indication that they will be much used. They will take place of the King Edward green fedora that broke into this country from London.
 Aside from these extravagances, the styles this winter will show a marked tendency toward the conservative. The old curve In at the waist has been prac- tically eliminated, and the ultra long coat is thing of the past. The decorations on the cuffs and the exuberance of but tons where they aren't needed have been taken up so generally by the ready made trade that the tailors have had to abolish them entirely. The suits will be plain, common sense, but at the same time snap py garments, with the lapels reduced to something like normal size"

in my gun and I couldn't resist the temp tation of bringing down one of those wild geese
 Geese. nothing, you couldn't see a. goose if it had hit you in the face, they scoffed, but they weren't so sure when I laid the gander at their feet moment later. They had a good bagful of ducks, but nary goose.
 That goose was one consolation to me on the trip back but 1t was narrowing experience. My tooth jumped and throbbed at every stroke of the paddle. When I had landed in the dentist chair again they gave me an anaesthetfc and split the tooth. taking it out in four pieces. So that really you might say that in this one tooth had four pulled. "

 "ChuckY' he would exclaim, at the same time jumping about a foot in the air and Tapping his wings in alarm.
 Hunger would soon vanquish his fear, however, and he would return to the feeding ground, but only to be lam pasted again. The hens in the meantime would eat on unmolested. just as if the bees were conscious of their lovable and harmless character
 This performance was repeated every morning for about a week until that rooster was actually beginning to get thin-that is all of him except his comb, and it never before had approached any thing like it's present glory in size and color

 What a wonderful comb that Ply I never saw anything like it before that last batch of feed we got must have been just what the chickens needed
 Tt was only the next morning that my aunt, wondering what had been taking me so long recently in feeding the chick ems. walked softly into the henhouse.
 'Chuckp went the Plymouth Rock as big bee pecked him.
 'Ha, ha, hap l laughed as I gave the bees nest another poke with a long pole.
 Just then I felt a hand grip my ear. I jumped toward the door, but alasi my mouth colided with the end of one of the hen roosts and left my tooth lying there on the ground, a tribute to my fun.
 Then the upper on this side, that caused my father lot of trouble about two years later" the old man went on. 'The tooth had been aching for several days, but I chose a Saturday afternoon to go to see the town dentist

 T began with the first pair of forceps in the line, but they wouldn't do. I couldn't got a grip on the tooth, but that pair did succeed in making my game bleed. Well, I continued on down that line of forceps, now and then skipping a pair that looked absolutely useless.
