All Swank

From Pearson's Weekly.
4 dentist received a call the other
morning from a couple whom he soon
had reason to believe were lovers. The
girl had an aching tooth. and as they
entered the young man said
Now. darling, the worst is over. Just
take a seat and it will be out in a min
ute"
"Oh, daren't she gasped.
"But 1t really won't hurt you at all,
you know"
"But I'm afraid it will.
eft can't. I'd have one pulled in a
minute If it ached."
81 don't believe it,
well. then. I'll have one pulled out
just to show YOU that it doesn't hurt
He took a seat, leant back and opened
his mouth. and the dentist seemed to
be selecting tooth to seize with his
forceps, when the girl protested:
Hold on! The test Is sufficient. He
has proved his devotion. Move away,
Henry, and III have 1t pulled"
She took the chair. had the tooth
drawn without groan and as she went
out she was saying to the young man:
Now, can believe you when you
declare that you would die for me-
And yet every tooth in his head was
false

COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
Selling for Reaction Inspired
by Better Weather in
the South

New York. October 24.-Today's cot
ton market was unsettled by realizing
while there also appeared to be some
selling for a reaction. which was prob
ably inspired by prospects for better
weather in the south, the rapidly and
extent of the recent advance, reports
OF further financial troubles in Bonn
bay and nervousness over the Mexican
situation. Most of the private crop adj
vices from the south continued of q
very bullish character. but it was ex-
peeted that the census report tomorrow
morning would show a full ginning up
to October Is. and there was evidently
quite general disposition to take
profits on long cotton. Prices eased off
and the close was barely steady at a
net decline of Is to 20 points, with De-
eember selling as low as 1880, or
about 81 points below the high records
of yesterday.
Private cables attributed a decline in
Liverpool to increased offerings and a
slack demand and houses with Liver
pool connections were considerable
sellers here during the early trading,
While in addition to local and southern
realizing there was evidently some
pressure from bearlsh or reactionary
sources. First prices here were to Z
points lower and the market soon
showed net losses Of from IA to 10
points on active positions. After the
close of Liverpool selling became lit
tie less active and prices rallied some
30 or - points from the lowest or re-
ports that southern mills had been
heavy buyers on spot cotton yesterday
and 9. renewal of bull support. The
buying movement failed to broaden,
however, and the market later weak
ened, last prices being at practically
the lowest eff the day.

There was little connection between tho

for the early advance by referring to the
