Some are still waiting.

And yet Berry finally gave MP his
Office as hangman because the execu-
ttOn by him of two innocent persons
got on his nerves.
The first case was that of farm lad.
aged about eighteen. accused of shoot
Ing policeman. The boy protested
his innocence to Berry up to the last
moment, but was duly executed. Some
time after this Berry hanged the Meth
erby hall murderers, one of whom Just
before he died told Berry that 1t was
he who had shot the policeman for
which crime the boy had been exc

The second case was that of Mary

cused Of poisoning her husband with
arsenic. She. too. protested her limo

later a farmer dying of cancer con-
fessed the crime. He said be had had
a quarrel with John Leff1ey. and when
both John and Mary were out he had
entered their cottage and put arsenic
in a milk pudding which had been pre-

AFRAID OF THE DENTIST7
Hero Are Sumo Hints That May Help
You Through Your Ordeal.

You Through Your Ordeal.
Everybody breads the dentist. The
bravest heart quails at the thought of
the man with the forceps. One who
has been through many trying expert
ences with the dentist and who has
made study of efficiency in all direc-
lions claims to have made some dis
coveries that ought to be helpful to
all. Here are some Of his suggestions
Your siege in the dentist chair will be
greatly lightened if you will remember
a few things:
Keep the throat moist by gargling
from time to time as you sit In the
chair with water mixed with some an
tiseptic preparation Of an ordinary
character such as every dentist has at
hand.
1t is not bad idea before you 60 to
a dentist to take bit of chewing gum
In the mouth to promote free flow
of saliva If the gum has a flavor
that will be helpful and will check the
tendency to dryness Of the throat and
the tickling sensation that follows.
Carry large handkerchief with per
fume or cologne on it, which you can
hold in your hand and inhale the
cologne whenever you have a mo-
ments rest. You will find 1t very re-
freshing. While the dentist is at work
the handkerchief will give your I'm
gers something to clasp. This may
help to divert your attention from the
work on your teeth.
Relieve the strain upon your throat
at every opportunity while the dentist
is changing his instruments by lifting
your head from the chair-for even a
single moment-and taking deep
breath Shut your eyes and think OF
some problem. some particular friend
or of some one In whom you are deep
ly interested This will divert your
thought from the dentists work.
Remember that most Of the pain we
fear we can escape. In these days
dentistry is less painful than ever be-
fore. 1t will probably never be entire
