HENRY HAD COURAGE.
“He said,” Carkle admitted defiant-
ly, after being pressed to helplessness,’
“that I'd better have it out. Said it
wasn’t possible to save it.”
“That's too bad,” sympathized Mrs.
Carkle. “I'd have it done right away

“Yes,” said Carkle, casually.

When he returned home that even-

“No
“Did it hurt you much?” she inquired. -
“Hh?” asked Carkle, blankly.
“Why, your tooth—you had it ex-
tracted, didn’t you?”
“Oh,” murmured Carkle, as though
recalled from a long distance. “No—I
didn’t. I have been too busy, Emily,
to think of myself. I didn’t have any
time. I'll go tomorrow.”
“Well?” inquired Mrs. Carkle, the
following evening. “How do you feel,
Henry? Was it painful?”
Carkle paused in the act of removing
his overcoat and gazed at her re-
proachfully. “I wish, Emily,” he said,
“that you would recollect that I am a
business man and not free to follow
my own whims and inclinations. You
may be able to consult your own pleas-
ure, but you needn’t think I can drop
a $20,000 deal for the sake of a mere
tooth! I—”
“But the dentist said for you to have
it out!” persisted his wife inexorably.
“It wouldn’t take half an hour!
You're just trying to put it off, Henry
{Carkle, and I must say that I am sur-
prised at you!”
“No such thing!” cried Mr. Carkle,
With immense indignation. “A baby
wouldn't mind having a tooth out now-
adays with their modern methods! If
you think I am afraid of a trifling un-
leasantness—pooh!

as asking, ‘Did you have—" when the
receiver at his end hung up with a
click. 2
At the breakfast table the next
‘morning he got in ahead of her. “No,
don’t start telling me about that
tooth!” he said, with infinite and
weighty sarcasm. “I am quite aware,
my dear, that I possess a molar which
has to be extracted, according to the
dentist, in whom, by the way, I haven’t
any too much faith! I intend, howev-
er, to abide by his decision—I can’t af-
ford not to when a man is such a pi-
rate in his charges as Jenkins—and I
shall have it done today.” :

Carkle, distinctly and unpleasantly. “I

The front door banged heavily after
Carkle. Twice that morning Mrs. Car-
kle got him on the telephone to make
inquiries. The second time he was
so violent that she did not wait for
him to finish, but hung up the receiver.
She gathered that he was engaged in
settling the fate of LaSalle street,
‘Wall street and possibly Europe, and
if she thought—
Immediately before noon Carkle's of-
fice door opened abruptly and looking
up he beheld on the threshold his wife.
Carkle was alone, feet on his desk,
cigar in mouth, magazine in hand, an
aura of immense leisure surrounding
him. He turned pale.
“Henry,” said Mrs. Carkle, “at great
inconvenience to myself; I have come
down here to accompany you to the
tooth extracting bee. If you can
leave Wall street and your numerous
clients for a short time, I should like
you to come with me—at once!”
Carkle got on his feet hurriedly and
before he knew it was in the fatal
chair.
They were telling him to wake up
before he was sure that anything was
happening to him. Everybody was
quite cheerful and casual and acted
as though nothing had occurred. In
the outer office he met his wife, a
little anxious and pale.
“Well?” she asked.
Carkle smiled at ber in a superior
way and shrugged into his overcoat.
“Why, Emily,” he said, “you really
act as though you were nervous!”—

CONFISCATE THE EDITION.
Newspaper Issues Often Suppressed

“By order of the ‘royai press court’
this issue of your paper is hereby
confiscated for printing news which
the court considers should not be made |
public.” A policeman, with a sword
dangling at his side and holding in bis
hand an official document with an im- |
posing seal on it, enters the managing
editor’s room and delivers the decree.
It is the famous Austrian press cen-
sorship and confiscation machine, call-
ed for short the “confiscation appara-
tus,” at work. Down below the big
presses are thundering along on the
last few thousand copies of a big cir-

Willich Knew His Men and They Knew
Him and That Settled It.
There are times when the so called
“red tape” of the army gives way ua-
Cer the stress of circumstances. At
the battle of Chickamauga General
Willich, who was commanding a bri-
gade, incurred the displeasure of Gen-
eral Rosecrans, the commanding gen- |
eral, by some slight omission. Gener- |
al Willich was sent for and informed |
by the general commanding that he ;
must consider bimself under arrest for |
the present.
“You may leave your sword here,”
added Rosecrans, ‘*‘until your case is
tried.” : |
“Yes, general, 1 will consider myself |
under arrest,” was the reply. “and just |
as soon as this engagement is over, I'll |
come and fix up the matter.”
“But, sir,” said the astounded Rose- |
crans, *! want you to consider your- |

Archaisms In the Authorized Version.
In the real authorized version of
1611, King James’ Bible, are a good
many archaisms which the printers
have since modernized, such as *“ought

“biles” for *‘boils,” “fet” for “fetched,”
“gin” for “grin” (a trap), “moe” for
“more” and *all to” should be one

A large number of aliens become

five years and shall intend, when nat- |

O is a village of France, in the com-

from Alencon. This Norman hamlet
has at last accounts twenty-three in-
habitants and the proud memory of
the extinct marquisate of O, which
dates back to the crusades. The last
marquis, superintendent of the finances
of Henri I11., lived a spendthrift and
died a pauper.

The world’s record parrot is owued
by Baron Alfred de Rothschild, and he |
paid for it a record sum. She sings
with effect quite a number of songs
in a voice like a banjo’s twang. She
speaks 200 words of German, can an-
swer reasonable queries, smartly re-
bukes those who ask silly ones and is
careful to remind her interlocutors that
her full title is “Laura from Africa,
