J. Cowes-.favant To the earnest toiler of the South Seas must be given the credit of discovering a new cause for the abnormal protrusion of the superior anterior teeth. He designates it with the classical term Gum Suckingf' Now, if it were Gum Chewing or Gum Thus or Gum Boots or Gum Dasted or somebody else's gum, you couldnt show some of us, but when it comes to that Honolulu discovery, we are about all in. It's too deep for us, Johnny. Certainly, it must be all right, and on the square, for Kinley and Dunbar were heard discussing it between bites recently-and that's a very good sign that this tootsy-wootsy business isn't conducive to a perfect occlusion. Our hats are oh? to you, Cowes. L- Dunbar's Trip During the last Christmas vacation ex-president Dunbar took a trip to Santa Rosa, the attraction being a certain fair young lady. Now, it chanced that these two did take a trip, yea, even unto Sebastopol, a near-by town. So far the plot is commonplace, but listen-they miss the train, Santa Rosa is still fifteen miles away and the young lady's mother worries. Dunbar bethinks himself of his friend Kinley whose home is only a few miles distant. Thither they went their weary way, a.nd what will not a man do for his friend? Kinley, coming home with his last load of brush, takes them upon the wagon, and finally lands them in Santa Rosa about midnight. Wliat he said as he drove home, thinking about his next day's work, had better not be written. .furprising After vainly struggling with the rubber dam for half an hour, Humphreys says to his neighbor, Say Dungan, where'll I punch the first hole in this thing? 'fAbout there, says the latter, indicating the position with his finger. Humphreys proceeds to punch the hole and does not notice the numerous folds in the dam. He holds it up to the light and discovers six holes scattered from margin to center. VVell, wouldn't that skin you ? says Humphreys, and I only punched one, l'm sure. 94
