ard L. Metcalfe, editor of william J. Bry-
ans "Commoner," in which he defends
woodrow Wilson against attacks made upon

Governor Wilson has admitted" he says,
that he knows many things he did not
know a few years ago, The people are
more discriminating than some newspaper
editors and other politicians give them

such criticisms as those leveled at Gov

TROUBLES OF A DENTIST.
From the Philadelphia Record.

ANSNSth-
Dentists have just as many hard
luck stories to tell as any other class
of people If n takes the time to lis
ten to them. One who has an office
downtown that is pretty we'll patron
lied was bemoaning his hard luck last
week. He does not like to pull teeth,
and generally nag to send those
patients who need such work to a man
nearby, who specializes in teeth Dull-
Ing. One of his regular customers, a
man whose teeth he has petted and
cured for several years. appeared at
his office not long ago and complained
OF a toothache. The offending molar
was found to be beyond repair and the
dentist advised that he have it out.
He consented, but insisted that this
man would have to do the job. The
dentist agreed. and then found that
his patient insisted upon taking gas.
Il can't give o gas" he objected;
"a man Of your size and strength takes
gas very hard. and you would regret
it If l gave it to YOU" The man could
not be persuaded however, and insisted
both on this dentist performing the
operation and on using gas. The re-
suit was even worse han the dentist
had feared. When the man was. com
ing out of the gas he struggled SO
HARD that he managed to destroy nearly
$50 worth of fixtures attached to the
window near him.
II not only lost all the fixtures" said
the dentist in telling the story, but I
had a hard job to do. and lost the
man for a friend besides for he said
that l had no business to hurt hin as
much as I did. The moral of that is,
never break a rue."

Fol the Grst time in the whole course
OF her life, Louisa Harris felt thai con-

ties could not be fulfilled.
When the coroner, rising from his
seat. gave the signal for general ex-
odus, she a felt her fathers firm
hand grasping her ARM. and leading her
out Of the fog ridden. .stuffy room into
the cold. gray passages outside.

She turned her back %resolutely on

pet refused to dance to the ever weary

ropes, had led him away from the reach
Of cackling geese by leading him

But h was far too dazed, too numb,
either to wonder or to be disappointed
at this. h felt as If she had pitched
head foremost down a long flight of
stairs, and had only just had sufficient
strength to pick herself up and not to
let other people see quite how severely
she a been bruised.
Mentally. morally. even physically,
she felt bruised from head to foot.
Colonel Harris oontrived to steer her
through the crowd: at the gate outside
even the smoke laden atmosphere
seemed pure and invigorating in com
parison with that stuffy pen, wherein
the herd of cackling geese had found
It's happy hunting ground. Louisa drew

fog, but feeling a little freer, less

inhaled.

Where are you off to, dear?" she
asked.
"Tll just go and have a talk to Tom"
he replied.
I'll come with you. I can wait in

He tried to protest, but obviously
she had made up her mind. Perhaps
She did not like the idea Of going back

He had deliberately-and despite
former prejudices-

THIRTEEN YEARS
