long story about it. If he had that
chance 1t would make great differ
ence. The ordinary citizen will under.
go anything, if he can sit around and
talk about it afterward.
THE first time we are up against
anything disagreeable always is the
worst We can get used to anything,
and enjoy anything, if we have enough
of it. We are born optimists. my dear
Mrs. Jiggers, always looking around
for grain of comfort, and manufac-
turing one If there is none in sight.
I'll never forget the first time l
went to see the dentist on professional
business. | had been entertaining a
rip-snorting toothache for several days.
The agony was so great that it would
take the pen of Dante to do Justice to
1t. Yet l couldn't muster up enough
courage to go to the dentists. | had
heard so many stories of the atrocious
suffering one undergOes at his hands
that my warlike spirit faltered. But
finally the man who occupied the room
next to mine came to my apartment,
armed with large iron poker, and
said that l had kept him awake for
three nights, and the limit had been
reached. If l didn't chase myself out
of the house and let him have nights
rest he would proceed to make few
dents in my skull.
"Thus turned adrift into the tenn
pest, the first man l met was dentist,
and he simply forced me to his purlor.
He was friend of the family and
wouldn't take mo- for an answer.
He had to carry me up the stairway
to his office, had become so weak in
the legs. l supposed he would rend
me limb from limb, but he really was
painless dentist. In three or, perhaps,
four shakes he was holding before my
eyes the tooth which had caused all
the anguish, and l was enjoying solid
comfort once more.
"Since that experience I look upon
the modern dentist as a public bene-
factor, and my one regret is that l
cant drop into his office every day or
two and have few teeth pulled. But
all my original teeth were extracted by
the painless process long ago, and the
lignum vitae teeth l am now wearing
are strangers to aches and pains.
'"The first time man is married he
is so excited that he forgets the we'd
ding ring or the fee for the preacher,
or some other essential. For days be-
fore the event he is in such fever
that his friends have trouble holding
him down; and when at last the fateful
nour arrives he doesn't seem like re-
sponsibe human being. l always feel
sorry for young bridegroom, he looks
so ratified, and he has such strong
resemblance to total loss.
But the next time he gets married
he is as cool and intrepid us though he
made practice Of acquiring bride
before tea every day, and if he goes to
the altar three or four times in the
course of his useful career, marriage
seems to him no more interesting than
receiving an automobile catalogue by
mail.
"And this is true of everything, Mrs.
Jiggers. A man even gets used to a
family boarding house, where collec-
tions are made strictly in advance,
and, this being admitted, no further
argument is necessary"

Swimming instructors have various

none is more novel than that used by

some enterprising Italian publishers
to assist his leaders In knowing the

some new addition to the Italian vo-

spld 1t said 1t was as good MS new,
ana 1t broke his heart to part with
IT, nut he had to go to FlOrida for his
health and needed the money. Most
OF the great bargains are offered by
people who have to go somewhere, for
their health, and they're wise in doing
mat, for If they stayed around the
neighborhOod where they sold the
JUNK, they'd have their heads punched,
"Doolittle was SO proud and happy
over his bargain that it would have
made you feel ten years younger just
to look at him. He hitched up his
family steed, which is named jan
uhry, and then invited Aunt Julia and
Mrs. Spry to take buggy ride. He
ana his wife sat in the front seat, and
the invited guests took the rear one,
ana all went as merry as a divorce

Aunt Julia's faculties for the time be-
ing, for she grabbed up the lantern
and broke it over Mrs. Sprys head.
Mrs. Spry has her faults and failings
like other people, but she Is dead

Julia was the prettiest thing l ever
saw. | was sitting on our front porch
where | could see the doings, and I
don't know when l ever enjoyed my
self so much.
"UnleSS you have seen couple of
refined and cultured ladies cIawing
each other around on pile of gravel,
you don't know what true sport is.
Mrs. Spry showed some fine ring gen.
eralship, but my aunt had the best
wind and she finally won out and came
home victorious. And thus through
camp and court she bore the trophies
Of cOnqueror.' as the poet says, but
there was no pleasure in living in the
same house with her for week or
two. As soon as she cooled down she
was sorry and ashamed, and would
have given million dollars if the
row had never started.
