Worked Until He Was 100.

After working ninety wears
and having reached the age of
100, Edwin E. Fisher will step
down and out to give his place
to younger man. Fisher has
been employed as a pattern ma
ker in a foundry on the West
Side and worked until five
weeks ago, when the grip seized
him and he had to lay off work.
While taking this compulsory
rest ii dawned upon him that
there were many in need of em
ployment, while he, with no one
dependend upon him and with
sutficiend means to keep him,
was still working from force of
habit, keeping some deserving
man out of a job.

On One Leg.

Atlanta Journal.

T n pTOrer relafeS, II is the GnWTfte
I'm but inviolate law that a pub
lie speaker shall stand on one
leg. The moment he touches
ground with the other foot his
discourse must end; and any
orator who is SO unmannerly as
TO break this good custom is
speared into silence and forever
disgraced. The practice has
developed terse and virile elo-
quence. Every speaker must
plunge straight to the heart of
his subject, leaving non essen

vitation itself is tugging at his
suspended toes.
What a deal of time and twad-

this happy rule were put into
their parliamentary law! There
would be no more filibusters, no
more oceans of words to float q

Uncle Cornpatch Presents a
Problem

Progressive Farmer.
U ncle Cornpatch dropped in
The Progressive Farmer office
the other day and put this
problem up 10 us: In travelin'
around now l see that whole
passel O. my neighbors who got
natally ct up by raisin' all cot
ton last year and mighty nigh
had to 90 to the pore house, are
plantin' all cotton agin: amt
got no gardens. amt preparin'
to have their own corn crib and
smokehouse, and are gettin'
ready to pay time prices for
everything same as usual. Now,
what bothers me is this: I'm a
member in good standin' at
Bethany Church and have been
for nigh on forty year, and
cussin' amt in my line. But |
have always heard this, that
sensible folks learn from other
folks mistakes. but fool has to
learn from his own. So when |
find folks that won't even learn
from their own mistakes, it
to reason that they amt just the
plain ordinary ev'ry day sort of
fools, and I'm wonderin' how a
man can rightly place just sick
an extraordinary brand of fool
without putin some kind O.
profane an ungodly handle on
to the name"
None of The Progressive
Farmer staff were able to help
Uncle Cornpatch reconcile his
religion and common sense on
this point, and we pass his pro-
blem on to our readers.

Toothache

When a person suffers from
toothache 1t generally means
that caries-Which is the medi-
cal name for the process that
causes the decay of teeth-has
worn away the enamel and the
bony covering that surrounds
the pulp in a sound tooth.
When the cavity has almost
reached the sensitive pulp there
is a good deal of discomfort. but
If the pulp is actually exposed,
the pain is so severe that it can
hardly be borne. Regular visits
to the dentist, however un-
pleasant, are necessary, for they
enable him to discover trouble
in its very beginning, and to
reinforce the decaying bony
walls with his own filings, so
that the tooth pulp never need
be exposed.
course Trkrg rs a great
deal of difference in the teeth of
different persons. Some reach
advanced age without ever
having to have a tooth filled,
whereas others must constantly
resort to the dentist in order to
keep their teeth IN anything like
healthy condition. Some have
teeth formed of very hard bone
and when decay begins it takes a
long time for it to eat down to
the inner pulp. Others have
teeth so soft that great mischief
is done in very short time. il
is economy and good judgment
to choose competent dentist,
and then visit his office regular
ly.
Even strong and well.kept
teeth that have escaped decay
are sometimes worn down by
years of mastication, so that by
middle life they need to be
built up and strengthened. Also
a perfectly sound tooth may be
broken by blow or a fall, or
hard bite on some foreign OBJ
ject iii ffie food. When the &C
cldent is so serious that the pulp
is cut off from its blood and
nerve supply, the tooth will die,
and that generally causes pain
sooner or later,
Those who do not keep their
mouths perfectly clean musl
expect to suffer from toothache.
because the acid Secretions tha,
are left undisturbed in the mouth
will gradually cause cavities in
the teeth, and they are sure TO
be painful. Finally, the teeth
are affected by any unhealthy
state of the system, and tooth
ache is often one of the results
of lowered vitality. In that case,
everything must be done to i'm,
prove the general health of the
sufferer by rest, fresh air, and
tonlcs.-Youth's Companion.

You frequently hear the d

nothing of their allies, will be sol
exhausted and impoverished that
they will be ready for peace
Suppose that happens, what
then? The nations now at war
would agree to an armistice and
appoint plenipotentiaries to rep-|
resent them in discussing terms3
OF peace; but the reasons for
fighting, which were many at
the beginning, have increased in]
number and conplexity as theI
war has gone on, and all of themI
are regarded differently at the
different capitals. How, thenS
could the peace delegates comeI
to an agreement upon any one1
of them? q
Take, for example, the case OF
Servia. What possible decisionl
could anyone suggest to which,
both Russia and Austria would
agree, no matter how exhausted

which Austria would not tole-|

to evacuate the country and
make compensation for the ruin|
that the fighting has wrought
there; but nothing less than that
would satisfy Great Britain.
which, having made itself the
champion of Belgium, is bound
in honor to stand by it to the end
and to get fol it a Just indemnify
for IFS undeserved sufferipgs. 4
On questions like these there
is no room for compromise. The
statesmen of Europe know it,
and therefore there will be no|
conference until some nation id
so much more exhausted than
the others that it will be willingl
10 accept such terms as the vic
tor is willing to grant and that
state of things is not draw.
Arbitration is equally out of
the question There is no gov
ernment that both Germany and
Great Britain would accept as au
umpire, or any that would be-
willing to expose itself to the!
hostility it would incur from
both sides by attempting to jndge
between them, or even by giving
advice as TO terms of peace.
Therefore, the war will
probably go on until one, at least,
of the parties 10 it is unable to
continue. 1t may be unfortunate

than the frame TO recommend him and
promoters stesred clear of him.
He drifted INTO Buffalo, virtually
broke. A few simoleons separated
him from the necessity OF making an
attack on free-lunch counters to keep
his huge body filled out. Attempts to
get bouts merely drew shake of the
head. Wizards size rendered him inn
