A Careful Man.
When Dawson reached town he was
suddenly seized with a terrific tooth
ache, and he flew to a dentist. Investl
gation showed that the tooth was in
such a condition that the only way to
estnet it comfortably was to put the
sufferer nnder the influence of gas
Consequently Dawson threw himself
back in the chair, and the tube was
applied. He did not succumb any too
readily, but in the course of time he
was sleeping peacefully, and the of
fending molar was removed.
"How much, doctor?" asked the pa*
tient after the ordeal was over.
“Ten dollars.” said the dentist, bush
dorr being dulL
“Ten dollars!" roated Dawson.
“Yes. sir." said the dentist “It was
an unusually hard job getting that
tooth out. and you required twice the
ordinary amount of gas.”
"Humph!" ejaculated Dawson as he
paid up. “Here's your money, but I
Tell you right now the next time I take
gas from yon you've got to put a meter
on me.”—Harper’s Weekly.

Little Courtesies.
William W'rt's letter to his daughter I
on the "small, sweet courtesies of I
life" contains a passage from which '
a deal of happiness might he learned:
“1 want to tell you a secret The way
to make yourself pleasing to others is
to show them attention. The whole
world is like the miller at Mansfield,
who cared for nobody—no. not he— Iw
cause nobody cared for him. And the
whole world would serve you so If
you gave them the same cause Let
every one. therefore, see that you do
care for them by showing them what
Sterne so happily calls the small conr
trsT’s, In which there Is no parade,
whose voice Is too still to tease and
which manifest themselves hy tender
and affectionate looks and little acts
of attention, giving others the prefer
ence in every little enjoyment at the
table, in the field, walking, sitting or
standing "

Schoolmates
A conductor sent a now brakeman to
put si>iih‘ tramps off tbo train Tliey
wore riding in n Ims car. The brake
man dropped Into the ear and said,
“Where are yon fellows going?.In
Atchison." "Well, you can't go to
Atchison on this train, so get off”
“You get!" came the reply And ns
the new braketnnu was looking into
the business end of a gun he took the
advice given him and "got." lie went
hack to the caboose, atid the conductor
asked bint If ho had put the fellows
off "No." he answered. "I did not
have the heart to put them off. They
want to go to Atchison, and. besidc>
they are o d school inn tes of mine.
The conductor used some strong Ian
gunge and then said he would put
them off himself, lie went over to
the car and met witlt the same expe
rience as the brakeman When lie got
back to the catioose the brake*:: u
raid. “Well, did you put them off?
"Xaw; they're schoolmates of mini
too.”
An Unforturate Participle.
A college professor who preferred
the participle "gotten" to “got tele
graphed to his wife: "Have gotten tick
ets for the theater tonight. Meet me
t here. ”
The telegraph operator rendered this
into “Have got ten tickets.” etc.
Mrs Prof-ssor wnr. delighted with
the opportunity of entertaining her
friends and accordingly made up a
party of eight besides herself, w boss
greetings to the professor at the ren
dezvous were probably more cordial
than his feeling until matters were ex
plained. He now makes an exception
to his customary use of “gotten."

A Good Reason
Putnam People Can Tell You
Why It Is So
Iioan’s Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease, and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tone* up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause backache,
headache and distressing kidney and
urinary complaints. Putnam people
testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. Dennis Cady, of «8 School at.,
Putnam, Conn., says: “For three or
four years my husband had severe
pains in the small of his back which
prevented him from sleeping well at
night. A day or two before a storm he
always noticed that the pains were
worse, and when he caught cold the
trouble was also greatly aggravated.
Added to this there was an annoying
