bat as soon as out of Iter sight Jio kick­
ed himself and held Ills jaw . When he
returned, lie casually remarked that
Agulnnldo hadn't been eaptnred yet
and that It was mlsbty singular Weath­
er for that lime of year, lie was do­
ing Ids best, even to smiling at the eat,
to make himself lielleve that old tooth
hadn't a hollow In It big enough to
tuck away a th-ld liean when the jum p
bit him again. Up went his hands,
and up went Ills feet, and he groaned
out n sort of death cry. The cat
chuckled, and Mrs. Bowser exclaimed:
“W hat on earth Is the matter with
you tonight? Yon act as I f you bad
the colic.”
“ I t ’s -lt's Just a slight attack of
toothache,” he replied, with a ghastly
smile; “got my big toe damp the other
rainy day, I gueaa. I t won't amount
to a row of pins, however.”
“ I f It does, you'll go to the dentlst’e
In tbe morning of course?”
“O f course. You don't suppose I ’m
the sort of man to suffer around with
tlio tpothache for six or seven yeare,
do you?”
Mr. Bowser’s voice bad no weight In
It, and hie face was pale, hut be bad
made up his mind to bluff tbe tooth­
ache and Mrs. flowser In addition.
The Idea of going to the dentist work­
ed an Ire cold streak up and down bln
tplno aud made his toes crack, and be
mode a pass, grabbed on to something,
and U r. Bowser felt the earth heave up
and the heavens to take A drop. There
were tears lu h it eyes as be handed out
his dollar and took the tooth as a sou­
venir, but be bad reached tbe sidewalk
before be was elated and ex ultant He
was also ready to give Mrs. Bowser a
setback, and when she asked how ho
felt be turned on her w ith all dignity
and replied:
“ W batl Are you and the blamed old

"I suffered from fem ale weakness for five

by a good physician but he did me no good.
I wrote to D r. R . K P ierce, Buffalo,
N. Y., for advice, w hich I received, telling
me to take h is ‘ FAVORITE PRESCRIP-
TION.’ W hen I had used the m edicine a
month m y health was m uch improved. It
has continued to im prove until now I can
work at alm ost all kinds o f house-work. I
had sca icely any appetite, but it is all
right now. Have gained several pounds in
