FINDS LOST TEETH
Bereaved Policeman Discovers
Missing Set Tucked in
Overshoe.
FINDS DREAM CAME TRUE

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 14.-"For the
Lords sake, where are my upper
teeth" were the words uttered by a
member of the Delray police force, who
had just awakened from a refreshing
snooZe on the seat of the patrol wag-
on. BLAMED funny, too, as | dreamed
that | lost 'em-and gosh ding it If the
dream amt true.'
Did you bring EN- with YOU said
Doorman Weber in a sympathizing
tone.
Col ding it, of course. Now, where
are those drafted teeth Here the
searcher turned every pocket inside out
to be sure he had not overlooked any
thing. BY grit. l have not been out
of the station since | had use for

Maybe somebody took them out of
your mouth remarked Lieutenant
Baxter.
"Oh, quit your kidding
perhaps you swallowed them,
said Sergeant Matteson. You had bet

Wi. if this is joke. it is little
too far fetched" said the toothless one
"A man don't like to have his store
teeth handed around like souvenirs. II
any of you fellows have them you
might as we'll take the lower set, as
the upper amt bit Of good without
the lower.
Everybody affirmed that he had not
seen the missing chewers, and a care
full search of the patrol wagon was
made without result. The hay for the
horse was tumbled over to see if by
any mishap the teeth had found lodg
ment there The loser was getting
more angry every minute. as it was
near meal time and the missing teeth
would be greatly needed in few min
utes. Just as he was about to put on
his oyershoes q rafting sound led tC
the finding of the missing teeth. The
man had gone to sleep on his side and
had slept with his mouth open. In
some way the teeth became loose and
dropped out of his mouth into the ov
ershoe There has been considerable
Kidding" in the station since, and the
story only leaked out by accident

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "a Million for Tuber-
culc sis" will be the slogan Of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross Is to issue the stamps as In
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
The National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds OF the
sales. The charge to local associa-
tons for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 12h per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 for tuber-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig-
mated as RED Cross Seals" this year
and are to be placed on the back OF
letters instead of on the front.

1t Is now pretty well understood that
the experts in both the war and navy
departments suggested that 1t would
be well to defer action until the gov
eminent understands better what to
expect of the airship.
Oficials in the army and navy de-
partments are greatly impressed with
the performances of Glenn Curtiss
with his aeroplane at Atlantic City re-
Gently. Those performances were not
under the auspices of either the war
department or the navy department.
but agents of each of the fighting arms
we're present, and were deeply i'm
pressed with what Curtiss was abba to
do. They have reported to their re-
~spective departments that from a
height that would have protected him
reasonably well from a fire directed
at him from either land or water. he
dropped small articles on boats and on
objects on land with remarkable pre-
cision.
Some of the experts from the de-
partments who saw the Curtiss per-
formances came back firmly convinced
that if war should come on tomorrow
the aeroplane would be able to do de-
structive work.
In spite of the possibilities present
ed by the rapid development of air
craft, the United States government
is really doing nothing toward taking
advantage of the situation.

WASHINGTON.-The census bureau
" has made public figures concern
Ing enough localities to indicate cer
tain interesting trends in the growth
Of American population. What stands
out first is. OF course. the general In
crease in population all over the coun-
try. While this growth is perhaps
more striking In the middle west, or
even In the far west, the east Is little
behind those sections. Increases In
city population rarely fall below 20
per cent. for the last ten years. Often
the Increase is considerably in excess
of SO per cent.
This growth has been expected, but
there will probably be some surprise
to find how far the growth of the
cities exceeds that of the rural dis
tricts. Here, save in a few localities,
there is an increase, but generally It
is below ten per cent.
Some spot in Illinois may mark the
center of population for another ten
years. 1t is worth while to emphasize
the word may" because there is not
available at this time much definite

A Good Retort.

It Is told of a successful comedian
that his first bit of popularity was
gained in a rough mining town where
he was giving "impersonations" In q
hall to a large but unpleasantly criti-
cal audience.
He was young, and not exactly at
his ease, and the freely-delivered CON-
ments which greeted him on his ap-
pearance were not reassuring; but he
kept on, and gained in confidence.
Some of the audience, however, had
come prepared to amuse themselves,
and did not propose to he baked.
After one really c~ommendable i'm
personation there was a round of ap-
plause, but In the midst Of it a great
cabbage landed on the stage at the
actors feet.
He picked 1t up, examined 1t, and
then gazing out over the audience
with the bland and innocent express
sion which has since become one OF
his assets, he said:
Thank you. This Is more than
l had any reason to expect. 1t is the

HE experts in both the army and
! the navy are watching with keen
interest the development of the
heavier-than-a air craft. While the of.
ficials are not willing to say much pub
licly about the possibilities of the use
OF airships In time of wal, they are
saying privately that the probability
Is that when the next great war comes
the airship will play a more effective
part than battleships, land batteries,
or great masses of troops.
The prediction is freely made by
army and navy officials in private that
not a dollar will eve be spent in forth
flying for the protection of the Panama
canal. They have arrived at this con
clusion because they think they fore
see that within a few years the airship
will be brought to a stage of perfec-
ton that will enable it quickly to de-
stroy any Notifications that might be
erected along the route of the canal.
Congress at the recent session de-
clined to appropriate money for the
fertilization of the canal. No public
reason for this failure to make an ap-
