A powerful and ferocious bulldog, owned by Dr. Ward of Serantau, Pa., enjoys the distinction of having a big gold filling in one of his incisors, and a good many citizens, who have caught a gleam of the gold iu hi» month, wonder how the filling was done. Some think it was done through hypnotic influence by the doctor over the dog, while othert insist that it was through the «log’s im ­ plicit obedimee to his master’« com­ mand. The bulldog’s name is Gem. He is as ugly in appearance as a prize winner in a dog show. His nose is a mas« of wrin­ kles, and his eye« have a wicked gleam for any one but his master aud M n Word. Hi» affection for them, however, knows no bounds. When Gem was dis­ covered one day clasping his muzzle be­ tween bis paws, rolling over and over on the floor and moaning, his mouth was examined, and it was" found that there was a big cavity in one of tho in­ cisors. It was decided that a dentist should be consulted. The dentist found that it would be necessary to use a rub­ ber dam, and he promised to fill tho cavity provided Gem was etherized. This was done, and the operation was considered a snecensful one, »'though Gem evidently thought otherwise. Some time afterward the filling oamo ont, and Gem’« last »tate was worse than his first, for he refused to submit to another operation with ether. At tho first sniff of the amesthetic he not only added a «core of wrinkles to those already in his nose, but showed his teeth in ao danger­ ous a way that the dentist refused to piweed. Dr. Ward insisted that he could make Gem stand on the table and have the tooth filled without wincing. The dentist was dubious about trusting his hand between the brute’s jaws, but finally consented to try. Gem was put on the table, and his master stooa in front of him, kept his eyes fixed on Gem’s and told him tc open his mouth. Gem did sc, and a rub­ ber dam was soon adjusted in plan-. The dentist set to work with the insl m- nicnt of torture called a bur, and oik - of Gem’s ears went down in a threat :i- ing wuy, while the other remained cock­ ed. The doctor h« ld one finger raised and kept his eyes fixed on Gem’s, that never v.awiered from his mustor’s gaze The attitude of Gem’s ears proved a barometer of his sufferings when the bur touched a spot close to the nerve. Wheu bolh ears went down, tho deuti»t knew he had gone as far a» dugs’ nature would let him 'go. Gem’« eyes hevei wandered from the doctor’« in the 1 '» hours the dentist was ut work. Gcin stfxxl the final polishing, and wheu hi' master guve the word for him to get down from the table Gem duneed with demonstrations of joy at his release.

A good buyer who year after year in­ crease» his business and the reputation of his department, who leaves for th' semiannual inventory a dean and de­ sirable stuck—one who, in fact, has the genius of money making— is paid u sal­ ary in the big houses of from $f> ,000 tc $10,000 aud often a petoentog« on the yearly increase of his sales.
