Without Pain. He had not been practicing dentis? try very long, but he was doing his best. His business did not suffer through any lack of soothing assur? ances in his public announcements The man who had just had a tooth pulled arose from the chair, holding his jaw in both hands while tears ttickled down his cheeks. "I wont insinuate that you are a lineal descendant of Ananias or any? thing of that kind," he said "But your announcement, 'teeth extracted without pain,' is, to say the least, misleading." 4?I guess," was the apologetic an? swer, "that it must be a case of mis taken identity." "I don't quite follow you." "When i pull a tooth, Pm the man who doesn't suffer any pain " Duty. Daty is a power which rises with us in the morning acd goes forest with us at night. it is co-extensive with the action of our intelligence. It is the shadow which cleave.-: to ns, go wbere we will, and which only leave? us when we leave the light of life. Gladstone. Mr. John Russell Young:, writing it the New York Herald, expresses the belief that the Republican man? agers made a great mistake from a party standpoint when they made issue with the Democrats on the sil? ver question and came out so strong? ly for gold. He thinks it would have been good politics for them to have played the tariff issue, and depended on that. That was Mark Hanna's idea, too, but the gold power was too much for him. BEAUTIFUL SEVILLE. There Is Alway? Som ethic sr Amusing:, Pic? torial or Dramatic to See. The landlord at the Hotel de Paris was very patient and good humored with us, though we walked him all over his own house before we chose a room that opened upon a small, dark, j well-like court, full of palms and orange trees and with, a fountain. He seemed delighted when he found that we were satisfied. "You know," he told us, "I always say that strangers who come to Seville in the summer time must be ! mad." Yet only in the summer time does one see the true character Of the coun- j try, and mere espt.-cially of Seville. The ! town was as hot as, if not hotter than, ? Cordova. All its stock amusements were j off for the time. There were no gypsy ! dances, no bull fights, but nothing could have been gayer and more animated than the mere aspect of the place. Its narrow alleyways,, where the flower | laden balconies almost met above our i heads, were lined with houses, shining j white or pale rose or green or gold in the sunlight. The market places were at all hours crowded with clattering and laughing peasants, while the air, perhaps, was cooled by a fountain play? ing in the center. The shops opened, easternlike, without windows, upon the streets, their wares tumbling out al? most at one's feet Hardly a green square but had a gau? dy little booth at each corner, where old men or women sold fresh water and sweet iced drinks. No matter in what direction we went there was always something amusing, pictorial or dramat? ic. Now it was a wonderful church or convent or hospital, with fine flamboy? ant doorway and romantic associations, j or again it was a garden of palms, a i high mirador, aflame with roses; a dark interior, with oxen in thc far shadows; a long arcade, making a frame for the Moorish wail of the cathedral mosque, and always it was a long train of mules in gorgeous trappings, coming and go? ing or resting in a narrow street and | under the shade of a high wall, with, as ; like as not, a row of potted flowers on its top.-Elizabeth R. Pennell in Cen- I tnry._j The Woman of lt. She had read the sign, "Do not speak ; to the motorman," and she said, "I j wonder why cot?" Then in winsome | voice she inquired of that functionary, "Why mustn't one talk to the motor? man?" He told her it was against the rules. "But why is it against the rules?" "Because it is." "Then you don't like to be talked to?" "Oh, yes. j but- Thunder, I came within an ace of ! running down that old gent!" "But I | should think it would be nice to have ! somebody to speak to instead of talking j to nobody all day long." "Lady, you are going to stop talking, or there's go- j ing to be a smash up on this line, and a big one, see?" "The hateful thing! i And I did so want to be sociableJike. : He's married, 1*11 bet.
