CHORDS AND DISCORDS

liberation.
In one week the liberation had dis
appeared. Jones chuckled to himself.
He remained away from the dentist in
the belief that the trouble had passed
and he could resume cracking walnuts
between his worries. At the end of the
second week Jones had another awak.
ening. There had been a recurrence
of the liberation.
The dentist said that there would
have to be another treatment before
the tooth was pulled. Jones jaw swell
ed so that he could not talk. The best
he could do was to make motions. He
remained home a week.
Finally the day for the operation ar
rived. Jones decided he would take
an anesthetic in order to be spared
any suffering. He was fussy when he
dropped into the chair. He asked the
dentist questions that might ordinarily
be expected from 4 10-year-old boy. He
wanted to know how long he would be
in sunderland. He did not believe
ne could be put to sleep.
Jones inhaled the anesthetic, but, ap-
parentiy, before he did so he had made
up his mind to fight. At any rate when
Jones came out from under the III

were clinched much after the fashion

IL had not been. Instead, Jones had
tried TO bite of one Of the dentists
fingers.
There was postponement OF hostili.
ties for a week. Jones returned at the
appointed time somewhat refreshed.
The same anesthetic was agreed upon,
but the effect was similar to the first
effort, only Jones was more hostile and
demonstrative than before, 1t requiring
the combined strength Of the dentist
and his assistant TO prevent him from
breaking up the furniture while he was
returning to his normal state. Jones
was shouting like an Apache, and three
women and two small boys who were
in the reception room awaiting their
turn ran. into the hall OF the building
in fear that real fight was on tap
Jones said whole lot, but he never
learned its import Suffice to say that
he caused the dentist to blush. When
the dentist promised he would not tell

SKATING POND FILLING. About Three Feet of Water in Mohe gan Parks Artificial Rink.

There are nov about three feet of water in the skating pond which was built this past summer in Mohegan park by Superintendent Duff The pond is filling slowly, as the brook is not running very profusely as yet. and there will be two to two and half feet more water before fl is full. The dam is holding perfectly and there will be an ideal skating pond there this winter.
 The building of the fence along the new highway where the old golf course was is now under way. but the road has not been opened as yet.
 Mohegan lake remains about al it's former level. which is five feet below fuli. This is not uprising. as there is no water coming into the pond at the present time. The brooks are by no means full. the soil being dry despite the rains, and it will take some time and much rain to ill them.
 The icemen are anxioqlsly looking Tor rain, as their ronds are not as high as they were last year at this time, and they desire them to fill in order to get an ice crop this winter.

A cablegi am received by Prof. W. H. Salman of Yale university on Sat urday was the first direct news receiv- cd from the local missionaries who are at the Yale mission at Chang Sha. Let ters were received after the revolution broke out, but as it takes a month for them to get here. they had been written before there was any serious trouble. Since then nothing has been learned definitely until the cablegram and it relieved much anxiety to know that they were safe.
 Saturday evening, Professor Salman communicated the cabIegram to Fran cis J. Leavens of this city. Under date of Shanghai. November II, it read as follows:
 Counsel orders ladies to coast for winter months. Party of ladies ac- companied by Gage. Schools must be closed. Party of male missionaries re- maining at the station. There is no telegraphic communication with Chang Sha- Telegraph me at this address. Will return in few days
