Didn’t Want Any.

A long-waiated, consumptive-looking yoiwg man yesterday entered the office : of a Woodward avenue dentist holding fhis nhaak in hiw hand, . Hfi Jlfiionlyhad thatoothaqhe, but he hacLarrived at that point where his minei w» biivß “Uinme laughing-gas,” was Mr curt salutation as he took a ehair. The dentist, looking him over, concluded it would be safe to comply, and while he was getting ready the stranger looked down upon the street. He presently saw two well-dressed -women slowly approaching each other. Both were well-dressed, proud and dignified, and they sailed by each other as if each one thought she owned the whole city. One of them wanted to look back at the other’s hat, but by a great effort she controlled herself and kept on. The other wanted to look back, and, after a struggle -with pride and dignity, turned her head. She walked forward as she looked back, and disaster overtook her, as a natural consequence. She encountered a baby cab, and while the cab rolled one way she fell the other. The man with the toothache had seen the whole performance, and he knew how that fall would ruffle her dignity andcrumple her pride. He began to chuckle, and, as the proud woman made a kick at the cab, he yelled out: “Haw! haw! haw!—get your forceps —haw! haw! haw! —pull ’er out quick —haw ! haw ! haw! I’m tickled to death —pull! pull! pull!—never mind the gas —-haw ! haw ! haw I” And the tooth was out before he got over feeling tickled.— Detroit Free Prees. ;
