Come and See This Handsome and Be Convinced
SHIRT-BUTToNS FOR TEETH
Ingenious Old Woman Tries Her
Ham, at Little Home
Dentistry.

Shoe-button eyes are frequently
seem on the woolly dogs, cats and
other animals sold for toys, penwip-
ers end pincushions, but shirt button
teeth worn by a human being are a
decided pavelty.
The only set ever made is worn By
an old woman living in Pittsfeld.
Mass. Finding herself unable to buy
new set of false teeth she was
driven by necessity to make them.
She had worn for many years gold
plate, relic Of more prosperous days.
This plate bore only four teeth. tive
on each side. In course of time her
remaining front teeth fell out and she
decided to try her hand at little
home dentistry. With infinite care
and trouble she drilled eight tiny
holes in the plate by means of which
she firmly attached four white bone
buttons o. the proper size to 1t with
strong linen thread The "makeshift"
teeth" as she called them, were
great success, and when fitted In place
in her mouth it took second glance
to tel! now they differed from the or
binary dentist-made molars. AS the
edges of the buttons wear away with
use she turns them upside down.
When one is accidentally broken it
is easily replaced, as she keeps
stock Of bone buttons on hand for the
purpose.

STYLE IN ENGLISH NECKWEAR
Broad-Ended Tie Has Been Rage for
Half Decade and Is Likely to
Continue.

For the last half decade the broad
ended tie made from the piece has
been rhe rage in England, and haber-
dashers win not look at anything else.
Its vogue is likely to continue for
another year or two, particularly as
it is to the interests of both manufac-
turers and dealers to keep 1t going
as long as possible. This type Of tie
has maximum length in England of
AZ inches, the average for such four
in-hands being 36 to SO inches.
A good grade Of Irish poplin tubu-
lar tie retails at about 30 cents, the
highest quality Irish poplin, however,
which comes in the piece, when made
up, retails at about rs cents. Other
styles are priced at so, 45 and 35
cents, and ties of these classes are
to be found in the mems furnishings
stores Of any of the larger British
cities. Wholesalers pay about $2.90
per dozen for ties that retail at As
cents each, and sell them to the deal
ers at S3.40 per dozen, less two
and one-half per cent.

In one OF the fastest and hardest
games of the season, the Wausau high
school defeated the Marshfield high
school in game with that school on
Friday. The final score was % to IA
but does it not show that it required
some fast and hard playing to obtain
it. Wausau started the game with
jump and within few minutes of
play scored seven points by baskets
thrown by Johnson and Montgomery,
and free throw by Turner. Marsh
field took brace and by some brill
liant playing of Wharfield, the Marsh
field center, scored several baskets
and free throws. The first half ended
with the score of u to in favor of
Wausau. Marshfield played the best
game Iii the first half and during the
second half were powerless to stop
the Wausau forwards, who did some
brilliant shooting. The game was
clean and but few fouls were called
on either team, and most of the scores
were made on field throws. The final
scare of the game was % to IA. The
lineup of the teams was as follows:

HustIIna the Pupils.

Most all nations condemn the Amer
lean system of education. In Germany,
France and England, boys and girls
are allowed at least two years longer
than here to learn the same things,
and thus what they learn is not so
easily forgotten.
The hard study required of Ameri-
can school childre,. rfves them weak
eyes, keeps them inooors too much
and affects the general health. The
sole aim of the teachers seems to be
to hustle them through the grades and
get rid of them. We are being so bad
