<br />A ROYAL DENTIST.
<br />The Story of a Tooth Pulling by Peter
<br />the Great.
<br />Peter the Great particularly delight-
<br />ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly
<br />enjoined his servants to send for him
<br />when anything of that sort was to be
<br />done. One day his favorite valet de
<br />Chambre seemed very melancholy. The
<br />czar asked him what was the matter.
<br />"Oh, your majesty," said the man,
<br />"my wife 1s sufring the greatest ag-
<br />ony from toothacllte, and she obetlnate-
<br />ly refuses to have the tooth taken out"
<br />"If that is all," said Peter, "we will
<br />soon cure it Take me to her at once."
<br />When they arrived the woman de-
<br />clared that she was not suffering at
<br />all; there wan nothing the matter with
<br />her.
<br />"That is the way she talks, your
<br />majesty," said the valet. "She is oaf -
<br />tering tortures."
<br />"Hold her head and hands," said the
<br />czar. "I will have It out in a minute."
<br />And he Instantly pulled out the indi-
<br />cated tooth with great dexterity, amid
<br />profuse thanks from the husband.
<br />What was Peter's indignation to dis-
<br />cover a little later that his valet hid
<br />used him as an executioner to punish
<br />his wife, who had never bad an un-

<br />Bridge Whist
<br />Lt least 00 per cent of the game of
<br />bridge lies In the make. A poor player
<br />loses tricks and often the game and
<br />rubber by his play, but so many bands
<br />occur in, which there is really no play
<br />that such. losses are comparatively un-
<br />important compared with the havoc
<br />wrought by an tnjudlcions maker, for
<br />constantly his decision is invoked when
<br />the safety of the game or its success
<br />lies in his judgment of the value of
<br />his hand. To choose between hearts
<br />or diamonds and no trumps, to select
<br />clubs rather than spades, to know
<br />when a five card suit is safe and
<br />when one of four cards should be
<br />chosen, above all to keep an unrelax-
<br />ing attention upon the state of the
<br />!sore, with Its shifting demands -all
<br />these are tbo sterling qualitlee of a
<br />good maker. Once sensible that you
<br />are lacking in any such respect you
<br />will find your game appreciably
<br />strengthened by attention and study.-

<br />The supreme objection to gambling
<br />in all Its forma, whether in sport or
<br />in speculative batfpetts, 1. that it worts
<br />harm and loos to society. As soon as
<br />any practice or conduct Is found to be
<br />socially hurtful it thereby becomes
<br />wrong, whatever men may have
<br />thought of It before. Does not all mor-
<br />ality rise to consciousness through the
<br />fact of social advantage or injury?
<br />Now the long and costly experience of
<br />mankind bears uniform testimony
<br />against gambling till at last the ver-
<br />dict of elvillsatlon has become as near-
<br />ly unanimous as human judgment can
<br />be that It is an intolerable nuisance.
<br />It is a dangerous or unsocial form of
<br />excitement It hurts character, demor-
<br />alliss induotry, breeds quarrels, tempts
<br />men to salt destruction, and it works

<br />Nicknames are sometimes deceptive

<br />tremely funny. I was In a small town
<br />not many miles south of Boston and.
<br />asking for a certain piece of informa-
<br />tion, I was informed by several that
<br />""Hbotty" could give it to me,` and be
<br />seemed to be elm only man who could.
<br />Not knowing just who •-etaoety" was
<br />I made further inquiries and was tole
<br />that he could be found in the store
<br />just across the square.
<br />"Just ask for 'Shorty,'" I was told.
<br />Any one will show him to you."
<br />I went over to the store as directed
<br />and looked vainly about for some one
<br />who might answer the name. Only
<br />one man was present, and he wu al-
<br />most a seven tooter. Altar looking
<br />about a moment I started to leave.
<br />"Lookin' for some one, stranger?' he
<br />observed.
<br />'Yes, I'm looking for 'Shorty,'" 1
<br />told him.
<br />A broad grin overspread his face.
<br />"Guess you've got him," he mur-
<br />mured. "I'm your man." - Boston

<br />In his bome city they tell a sad story
<br />of a mean trick on a pawnbroker. He
<br />was enjoying a beauty sleep when a
<br />furious knocking at the street door
<br />brought him to the window with a
<br />Jest -
<br />"What's the matter?' he shouted.
<br />"Come down," demanded the knock-
<br />er.
<br />"But" -
<br />"Come down."
<br />The man of many nephews hastened
<br />downstairs and peeped around the
<br />door. "Now, sir," the pawnbroker de-
<br />manded.
<br />"I wan'sh know the time," said the
<br />reveler.
<br />"Do you mean to say you knocked
<br />me up tot that? How dare you?"
