He Heard 1t.

An Irishman, an Englishman and
a Scotchman once went up into a
tower to see which could see the
farthest through telescope. The
Englishman, who looked first, said:
ooh, Pat, I can see the minute
hand of a clock four or five miles
away"
''I can see the minute hand on the
same clock moving,' said the Scotch
man.
Pat stood in amazement listening
to his comrades. When he looked
through he was seen to smile. Then
he said:
Faith, if I don't hear the same
clock striking."- ."-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

THE EMPEROR'S DENTIST.
How American Dentists Have Become
Famous in Europe.

DR.. Arthur Newton Davis, dentist
by appointment to the Emperor Will
liam, is now in this country, his ma
tive land. He refused to talk in New
York about William or the state of
affairs in Berlin. 1t is not likely that
he will talk more freely in PickaWay
we had almost written Pickwich-
Ohio, his old home. A prudent den-
tist, even if he has not taken the oath
of Hippocrates, keeps his mouth shut
if there is inquiry about the mouths
of his patients, nor does he betray
the condolences of patients, who are
never so confidential as during the
breathing spell in the chair.
1t should be a source of pride to
the profession that the emperor in
spite of the furious German press re-
tains an American dentist. A pamph-
let might be written about the glor-
ious deeds of American dentists IN
Europe. In Paris DR.. Evans assisted
the Empress Eugene in her escape.
In Berlin in the eighties two Amerl-
cans divided in rule the American
colony, and one of them plugged and
pulled and crowned the teeth of Bis
marck, of the foremost generals lv-
ing there, and of leaders in the court.
At Rome a dentist from Maine had
the honor of caring for the teeth OF
King Humbert and his beautiful wife
In Dresden lived a dentist who not
only gave comfort and relief to the
Austrian court at Vienna, but to
Richard Wagner, and in his home
the young Siegfried dreamed of be-
ing an architect.
What stories could not these den
lists have told! The life of DR..
Evans has already been published,
but not all that he saw and did. The
fashionable American dentist in Ber-
lin came to tragic end. Many poor
students of those years remember
gratefully his kindness, generosity
and hospitality. Montaigne gave a
grotesque illustration of the fact that
kings and queens after all are only
mortals. These dentists could have
given equally amusing illustrations
The hairdressers of Marie Antoinette
published his memoirs; the valet OF
Maupassant wrote entertainingly and
shrewdly of his master; why should
not DR.. Davis at some future day tell
of the Emperor William in the chair
with diagrams of the royal teeth from
wear to year?-Boston Herald.

A Still "Unsolved Mystery

One of the tantalizing mysteries
in the life of George Washington is
whether he did or did not give ad-
vice to Capt. John Posey in GER
tain perplexing matrimonial prob
lem which the captain submitted to
him. We are indebted to Mr.. Paul
Leland Hawrth's interesting volume
on George Washington: Farmer, ~
for a verbatum copy of the letter in
which Captain Posey formulated the
problem. Captain Posey, who, it
seems, even in those early days, had
partially adopted the reformed spell
ing, wrote as follows:
81 could have been able to Salts
fed al my Arrears some months AGO
by marrying an old widow woman in
this County. She has large SONS
cash by her and Prittey good Estate.
She is as thick as she is high. And
gifts drunk at Least three or four
time G. week. Which is disagreeable
to me. Has valiant Sperrit when
Drunk. It's been great Dispute in
nv mind what to Doe. l believe
shu'd Run all Resks if my Last wife
had been Even temper'd woman, but
her Sperrit has Given me such a
shock that am afraid to Run the
Resk again.
Now, the trouble with this histori-
cal romance of the tender passion is
that it stops right there. Absolutely
no record exists of any advice given
by Washington. We do not even
know whether Captain Posey mar
ried the engaging equilateral lady or
not. To be sure, there is indisputa-
BILE evidence that he was subsequent
" in jail. This may or may not have
been the result of matrimonial in
felicities incident to the ladys "vail-
ant Sperrit when Drunk" We have,
in fact, Captain Posey's own state
ment that his prospective wife's
habit of getting drunk three or four
times a week was disagreeable to
him, and that he had misgivlngs
touching her ''vialant Sperrit' under
such circumstances.
But it is blind trail at best; and
an equally blind trail is opened by
the fact that Washington undoubted-
ly did about that time give the cap
tain the sum of four pounds. OF
course if Captain Posey got into a
matrimonial mess and into jail by
following Washington's we'll meant
but unfortunate advice, it is open to
inference that the general may have
felt there was an equitable claim to
damages in the sum of as much as
four pounds.
But all this is pure speculation. In
the battling absence of all other clues
to the denouement, the courtship of
Captain Posey and the quadrilateral
widow must remain one of the un-
solved love romance mysteries of his
tory. incidentally, however, we get
a sufficient glimpse behind the
scenes of those remote days to JUS
tify the belief that Washington had
other troubles than those merely in
cident to the birth of a nation and
dealing as president with jackass
York Times.

ROCK ISLAND BOY
HURT IN ACCIDENT
Peter Stauduhar. Son of Local Arcbi,
tect, Injured Boarding a Train
In Minneapolis.

Peter Stauduhar, 22-year-old son of
George P. Stauduhar, architect, Rock
Island, was injured in a railroad acci-
dent at Minneapolis at 7:45 last night.
The young man was intending to re-
turn home and was in the act of board
ing passenger train just leaving the
station at Minneapolis when he miss
ed his footing and was dragged a con-
siderable distance. Although he suf-
fered severe bruises and conclusions
about the body he escaped without any
broken bones, and his injuries are not
serious. He was removed to a hos
pital in st. Paul, where he will be con-
fined for several days.
