Teeth Broke!
Sad Calamity to Sine Henderson
..---AIso Axident to Sime's
Wife Who Was Bit BY Said
1eeth---FuII PartickIers Is PEI
Below - '' ..+..., !.

Slime Henderson, one of Bingvilles most
Ffespeckted inhabitants who wae boteed
land raised in sBingyille and amt hten
anywheres farther away than the 4eotsnty
seat ever sinst, had pitiful calamity
to happen to him tother night.
When Sine was ready to 60 to bed he
TUX his false set Of teeth outen his mouth
and put em in a tumbler of waiter
which he set on the windersill of his
back chamber bedroom as ushual. Then
Slime blowd out the candle and crawld
into bed.
Durin the night it turnd several de-
grees colder than it was when Slime went
to bed and when he got up in the morn
ing the waiter in the tumbler was froze
solid all around Shines false teeth. Slime
broke the tumbler tryin to git the teeth
and ice outen it and then he had to put
the lump of ice with the teeth in it in a
pan on the stove to melt it before he
could git his teeth back and when he did
he clapped EN- into his mouth and they
was so cold still that they made his
gums ache.
Then Slime TUX his teeth out agin and
laid EN- on chair near the fire to warm
up and whilst the teeth was warmin up
Slime seen Hen Billings passing along the
st through the winder and went out on
the front piazzer to asst Hen how cold it
was last night
And while Slime was tallkin to Hen
Sarah Jane, Shines wife come into the
settin room from the back yard where
she had been hangin on the line some
dish cloths she had warshed out and see
ing this comfortable chair alreddy fixed
there before the fire Sarah Jane thort
she would set down and warm herself a
few minnits, but she haddent emmy moren
set down on the teeth until she jumpd
UP with a awful yell being as the teeth
had bit her vishiously
Slime heerd Ter yell and run back into
the house only to find that Sarah who
weighs over $50 had busted his store
teeth right in two when she set on EN-.
Sine and Sarah had some words right
there and then. Slime told her she allus
ort to look where she was scttin afore
she set and Sarah told Slime he ort to
have more sents than to leave his false
teeth layin around on chairs like that
Poor Slime TUX his teeth to Bill Hep
burn our blacksmith and askt Bill if he
could fix EN- together agin. Bill said he
could put cupp1e of rivets in EN-, but
he was afeard the rivets would hurt the
roof of Shines mouth so Slime is waiting
until he can git to the co seat and see
!, if the dentist there can fix en- If not
he'll haft to go to the expense of havin
new set of teeth out and out.
Slime looks ridicl1us without no teeth
speshially when he laffs and its all a
person can do to understand what he
says being as he kind of makes q whis-
slein noise when he talks. Slime says
whenever he eats ennythink he has to
gum it like everything to git ennything
like meat chawd up fine enuf to swaller
without chokin him and as a result has
been Twin mostly on soft foods like mush
& milk, noodles ct cetery.

PLAYER PIANOS ARE NOW
DELIGHTIAG THE INDIANS
WHITE MANS LUXURY is SLOW
LY INVADING THE HOMES
OF LOCAL TRIBES.

With the introduction Of automo-
biles among the Indians of the reser-
vation there is also reported another
adoption of the costly luxuries of the
white man. Player pianos are find
ing a hold on the reservation in the
families only a generation removed
from the warpath, H. NJ. Warren, To-
cal music dealer. has recently placed
three of these piano players in res
ervation homes and easterners who
entertain the idea that the Indians of
the west are still a bloodthirsty lot
have chance now to hear musical
refutation of their belief. The first
man of the three tribes to secure a
player piano was Julius La Course. a
mixed blood, but more recently Ed
Bushman and Effie Adams have made
similar purchases.
