Fools and Their Bets.-The story
recently printed that a fool, to win a
bet, put a billiard ball in his mouth
and 1t took a surgical operation and
the removal of five teeth to get it out,
reminds Father Beck Of a simpleton he
once knew whose first name was
John. One day John was with some
girls who were having fun putting
hens eggs in their mouths, and John
declared that he could put goose egg
in his mouth and the girls dared him
to do 1t.
John was brave and wouldn't take a
dare, and by dint Of perseverance he
got the goose egg in, but when he
tried to take 1t out II wouldn't come,
and when he was threatened with
lockjaw the girls got scared and hus=
tied John off to a doctor. The doctor
after diagnosing the case doubled up
his fist and with an undercut belted
John one on the chin. John was re-
lieved, but the egg never amounted to
much as goose egg afterward. We are
sorry to relate, says Father Beck. that
the experience did not do much good
in curing John of the silly habit. He
kept on biting off more than he could
chew for the remainder of his life
