A nine-year-old nevvsboy presented himself to Dr. W. A. Chapman to have a tooth extracted and insisted on having fertilized air. He refused to- have anything else g till he was informed that the price of fertilizer-had gone up to fifty cents. . A. EARL WHITE.i Bachelor from the Ohio school is with us, And he was greeted With a Welcome, But the man has shown dishonor tonhis name- A For with him a wife did come. i 'Tis hard to tell which 'is the more foolish-one Who always. tells the truth, or one who never tells it.

Raymond Kibleris new A' . theory of cervical decay. The editor has 5 been given the exclusive right to put this , r theory 'in print. Dr. Kibler received his i clue from an old lady patient and is now trying to- take the credit for the discovery. The old lady saw the editor and explained that Dr. Kibler had confidentially expounded the theory to a few close friends and was claiming it was original with him. As the theory has not been made public as yet, we think this is a good chance to give the real discoverer the real credit. A T The old lady says that decay gets into the tooth and, of course, has to get out some way. fAnybody can see thatfj Of course it goes out by the path of least resistance and the enamel being thinnest near the gingival, 'decay breaks out there. It do be so simple.

Dr. Lucas is new, but he is beginning to look shop- worn, and a look of care is beginning to settle on his face. We are glad something is being settled anyhow. He says he doesn't know whether he would rather have to answer juniors' silly questions or eat welsh rarebit out of some- body's new chahng-dish. y g Dr. Harry Weller still says darn. We wish to warn him that darn is only a forerunner to a much worse wo-rd, which we hope the little man will never say. Any- how, we think it is just as bad to say darn and mean something else, as to say something else and to mean darn T

The children be- longing to the class are all very precocious, and though young in years are old in experience. The class Was' founded in the fall of IQOT, bent on the achievement of a great and Worthy endi namely, -to grow. With'this ob-ject in view, they hold meetings every Saturday evening in the Y. M. C. A., Where, with the help of a measuring machine, the exact height of every child is recorded. They are then weighed separately and collectively with splendid results, ,. after which the meeting is declared adjourned. At the last meeting the total height of the class was sixty-three feet or on an average of four and one-half feet. Their combined Weights was four hundred and nine pounds or on an average of twenty-nine pounds. At the present time Mr. Otto Myers has the maximum height and Weight of the class. The class is in a very promising condition, and at no distant date We confidently expectpsome of its members to attain the prodigious size and prominence of General Tom Thumb. , HARVEY .GLENN BOYD.
