Metropolitan Opera company. accom-
panied by Sousa's navy band in

heads during the song, and az the
end gave Miss Case a hearty round
NJ applause
Lieut. Sousa introduced Miss Case
TO his musicians as "one of Amer
ica's greatest singers" and the boys
acknowledged the introduction with
naval sky rocket" a typical navy
yell. Only the fact that Miss Case
was due TO leave the city at
o'clock. following her concert en-
gagemont of Tuesday night, pre-
vented her from marching with the
hand thru the downtown section.
The appearance OF Miss Case was
entirely unexpected II was the sug-
gestion OF newspaper men, and she
responded with readiness that
proved her a true patriot. The de.
tails were quickly arranged with the
hearty cooperation of Lieut.. Sousa
and Miss Case took her place on the

GOT RID OF ACHING TOOTH
Frenehnan Driven to Heroic Act,
When There Seemed TO BE No
Other Method OF Relief.


Here is a yarn told to the unsuspect-
Ing people Of Bath by one of Lon
wellman's building moving crew Of Au-
gusta. One of the wcllman crew Of
house-movers was formerly a street car
conductor. Last evening he had a
Frenchman friend who on one occa-
sion had terrible toothache. He saw
the hole In the Frenchman's tooth and
ndvised the man to have 1t out. His
friend went out TO do so, but found oil
the dentists shops closed, owing to the
lateness Of the hour.
The Frenchman bore the pain as long
os he could and then resolved on heroic
remedies. He went to his room, took
out a powder flask and poured out
some gunpowder, which he jammed In
to the big hole In his tooth; then he
put in for fuse piece of silk thread
and plugging up the hole over the pow
der, started the fuse and blew that
tooth across the room out Of his jaw
Joe says that he can vouch for the
truth Of the statement, for next morn
ing the Frenchman came downstairs
with a smile on his face, all pain gone
and showed him the hole in his jaw
made by the blasting of his tooth
