Pool Ball In His Mouth.

Philadelphia. = Robert Wilson. a
youth living at 1880 North Eighth
street, made bet with several COM
panions that he had the largest mouth
in the crowd. and to prove his asser-
ton thrust pool ball between HE
Jaws.
He won the wager, but lost several
teeth, for the ivory ball fitted his
mouth so well that 1t took two hours
work on the part of physicians at the
Children's Homeopathic hospital to re-
move the ball, and that was accom-
plished only after the forceps had
been used.
Wilson walked to the hospital with
his friends. The physicians first told
him to force the, ball out with his
tongue. His efforts were unavailing
and the pain from his distended Jaws
so great that It was determined to
sacrifice I'VE front teeth.

FRUIT TREES AS ORNAMENTS
They May Well DIsnlane the Useless
Kinds for Nothing Is More
BeautlEta.

There is a tendency among the gar
den maniacs" to plant fruit trees In
stead of shade trees and "ornamental',
shrubs. 1t Is very good tendency.
And as for ornamental trees and
shrubs, there Is nothing really more
ornamental than the trees and bushes
which bear good fruit.
An apple tree IN pink bloom. for
instance, Is more gIorieusly beautiful
than any forsythia, or towering al
mond. or Wetgeaa, or aptrea, that ever
grew out Of the ground, and good
ald-fashioned geaeberry bush can give
points in beauty and picturesqueness
to the berberis Tulgarfs or thnnbergii.
or the ArAlia spinosa, or any other
thorny shrub whatsoever. What
could be more nobly beautiful than the
mound dome OF cherry tree in its
white bloom, In its red fruit, or lust
in its Iustrous green LEAKAGE. or
what can be more picturesque than q
good old fashioned pear tree! No tree,
large or small, can outshine with its,
splendor the masses Of rosy bloom Of
the Siberian crab and crab apples are
excellent IN preserves WHICH the winter
comes.
