But, on second thought, we have “fence-straddlers” — then why not “tree-sitters?” Ain’t it funny that a surplus of cotton puts the price of cotton down and a surplus of wheat reduces the price of flour and a surplus of oil has no effect whatever on the price of gasoline? But I reckon that situation is due to the flexible tariff. They Are Back on Their Feet Again. Most of the installment stores are re-possessing their goods.

It may be of interest to record that Hughes was duly brought to trial for horse steal- ia*. and on April 20, 1866, was con victed and sentenced to the peniten tiary for eighteen years” Judge Tyler tells as follows of a similar incident which took place dur ing his first year at Washington and Lee: “A very popular young student, a son of Judge Brockenbrough, profes sor of law, got into a difficulty with m negro and was badly shot.

When I was a kid, and a loose tooth showed itself in my mouth and my mother or my father found out that it was loose, there was no whining cere mony; a left arm was immediately hooked around my neck and my Head was pushed back and a thumb and a finger grabbed that tooth in a death grip and out it came. » But now it’s different. Our child developed a loose tooth (her first one to show signs of giving room for a new tooth) in March. We worked with her and begged he to let us draw it, but there was nothing doing. We put in the entire month of April try ing to get that tooth out. Her mother and I followed her for miles and miles sround the house with strings in our hands—hoping for a chance to tie one around that tooth and jerk it out, and thoa time went on. % Jane Stembridge aad Francees Stembridge, of Waynesboro, Ga., were the attrac tive guest# last week of their aunt, Mrs. C.

We had al ready used up 3 balls of twine and 4 •pools of silk thread getting ready to pull that tooth. It was only swinging to her gums, but if she had sny idea that we were thinking “toothy,” we could never get within 15 feet of her. We began to “buy” permission to take that tooth out. We gsve her money and candy and grape juke and coca- cola, which she gladly accepted, and she was sincere too, but when we got the string ready to encircle that tooth, she was going around that garage st the rate of 45 miles per hour.

We were afraid the tooth would fall out while she was asleep and then she would 1 swallow it and we thought if such a thing hap- peneed, that it would suiely chew her mnarda all to pieces. We begged her to let the dentist clean her teeh, and incidentally he would thump the tooth out, but she insisted that her teeth were already clean—as *he brushed them “after dinner every day.” My wife cried and prayed and cajoled and implored and pleaded for a chance to get rid of that tooth, but it loked like the kid wo^ld grow into womanhood with that appuitenance thereto still intact. When July 1 came, we felt that the time for action had arrived. I got a switch and my wife got two balls of thread and we approached the little lady with determination writ all over faces and features. We hated to do things of this kind though the medium of force, but necessity had mastered us. I finally caught the poor, sweet, innocent, darling little angel after a race of 7 blocks.
