Ohje. OaoI Reidmcd a§ ae Adcund (From Henry Hough ' s entertaining and enlightening Country Editor, pubUshed by Doubleday, Doran Co., in 1940). We have a rule in the Gazette office against all stories concerning false teeth, chew- ing tobacco, and boys going with girls (or v,ce versa). There are plenty of other things which are really funny, and city people do not have a monopoly of good taste. Most of our readers like to be protected from the old livery stable school of pleasantry. But I do wish to tell here an experience Joe Adams had with his fa ' se teeth, for the sake of the light it may reflect upon the life and character of Joe and Harry. Every winter night before they went to bed one of them had to let off the water in the pump to prevent a freeze-up. After this operation on a cold evening Harry came into the sitting room and inquired, Was there anything in t hat glass of water under the pump handle? Just my false teeth, said Joe. Why? I thought I heard something clink, said Harry. What did you do with it? asked Joe. I hove it out on the lawn, said Harry. You shouldn ' t have done that to my teeth, said Joe. You never should have left them under the pump handle, said Harry. I know that very well, Joe said, but just the same you shouldn ' t have hove them out on the lawn. Together the brothers took the kerosene lamp and stepped out into the yard, but for all the friendly mellowness of the old lamp it did not give light enough to assist their ageing eyes. They groped and peered, but were afraid to tread about too much for fear of stepping on what they sought. It ' s no use, said Joe, at last, I guess we ' ll have to let it go until morning. I guess we will, said Harry. They went into the house and continued the customary process of bedding down for the night. Thank you very much for the good care you took of my teeth, said Joe. I don ' t know what Harry said, or whether he said anything at all. At six o ' clock in the morning, which is to say as soon as it was light, Joe got out of bed and made his way to the back veranda. The scene which he surveyed was disconcerting. Snow had begun in the night and was still falling. It had drifted in long barrows, it had heaped high up about the slatted fence, it had covered all the ground with a deep, soft residue of fleecy cold. Joe poked around a little but without much hope. The false teeth, for the time being at least, might as well have been at the bottom of the sea. Well, he said to Harry, I guess I ' ll have to gum it for the rest of the winter. Ordinarily the snow does not remain long on the ground on our island. We expect to have one or two good snowstorms in the course of a winter and would be disappointed if they did not come, but most of the time the landscape is bare and often there is hardly any frost in the ground. But this winter happened to be an unusually severe one, and the snow hung on and hung en. The brothers got along as amicably as usual — and in all the years of their common housekeeping there had hardly been an unpleasant word between them — but it is safe to say that once or twice during the long weeks (and perhaps oftener) Joe repeated his mild rebuke, Thank you for the good care you took of my teeth. Ultimately the thaw came, the snow melted, and the teeth appeared, earlier than the crocuses and in this particular yard a great deal more welcome. Joe had them cleaned and repaired in the city, and after that they were as good as new. Uh
