Laid over at Livingston. The
depot "bunch" made every ef-
fort TO make things pleasant for
the old road booster which he
appreciated greatly. They had
the fast thru train stOpt to pick

Uncle Billy of the Winches-
ter Courier, who Was candidate
for censor of bathing costumes
to be used at Boone Beach, on
Kentucky ,river, claims thar his
defeat for the place came on
from the fact that the opposition
claimed that his ideas were too
extreme on the subject.
"Uncle Billy" says he wanted
to be conservative His platform,
he claims was for modesty as
far as consistent with comfort
and says he would not have in
sisted upon more than string
tied around the left ankle. He
further states that the various
degrees of society would have
been allowed, under his censor
ship, to choose the color of said
string to designate the parti,u-
lar degree of standing in which
the bather was moving or at
tempting to move in society.

Teeth MEND!NG IN CHILE.
Not an Easy Matter For Foreign Dem

lists to Practice There.
Not every foreigner who comes along
with the claim Of being a dentist can
practice that profession in Chile. The
government sees to it that any one
who is to look after the health and
preservation of the .teeth of it's people
must first demonstrate his qualifca-
tons.
The law provides that before a H.
cense may be granted a foreigner to
practice dentistry in the country the
applicant must secure permission from
the rector of the University of Chile to
take the examination. His foreign d.
ploma, duly certified and %authenticat-
ed, must be attached to the permit, and
q fee Of 500 pesos about $75 in United
States money! must be deposited for
the license in the Office Of the secre-
tary of the university. If the applicant
passes the examination successfully the
license is issued, and he is authorized
to open his Office for business.
Any applicant who holds a dental
diploma from a school not known or
recognized by the Chilean authorities
is required to complete the third years
work Of the dental department of the
University Of Chile and must also pass
a satisfactory examination before he
can obtain a license to practice.--Pan-

Warming Before Command.

In bringing up my children I found
that at night when they were tired
they were spared many tears by being
warned before I gave them a strict
command. Instead Of saying "Now It
is time to go to bed. Put away your
blocks at once" I would say: cit n
nearly time to go to bed. Finish your
house first and then put away your
blocks" In this way the children were
fully prepared to so, and there was
consequently no begging and no temp
tation for me to show my lack of firm
ness by being persuaded to allow them
to build 'just n more house."

absorbing chapter being told by. one In

Burr turned a quick glance upon the
heavier figure at his side, with a half
smile of badinage on his own face.
Lewis bowed again, formally. and An
thony Merry answered With equal DO
likeness and ceremony.
YES" said the envoy, "toybe sure, l
recall the young man. / met him in
the anteroom at the presidents house"
Meriwether Lewis cast him a quick
glance, but made no answer. He knew
well enough the sighting estimate in
which everything at Washington was
held by this minister accredited to our
government. Also he knew. gas he
might have said. something about the
diplomats visit at the executive man
sion, for thus far the minister from
Great Britain to Washington had not
been able to see the president of the
United States.

Burr quickly, for his was a keen nose

the house and have feared her abduc-

His keen eye rested fairly on the

just a half moment into thought, his

"There is the ablest man l have seen

suddenly, apropos of nothing that had
been said. "He has manners. and he

"Say not So" said Burr, laughing.
"Better-he rides like a Virginian."
