W. w. Gideon was unknowingly locked
in the city Jail and was imprisoned an
hour before he got the attention of a
small boy who was passing and sue

The chief had gone into the jail tc

and, noticing the door was Open

The chief found himself prisoner.
Some of the prisoners proposed a
game of seven-up until an officer
should show up, but the chiefs uneasi

A small boy heard the plaintive call

convince the urchin that he was chief
of police and not prisoner.

street, made bet with several COM

jaws.
He won the wager, but lost several

mouth so well that it took two hours.

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 1t. was determined to
sacrifice five front teeth.
