Careful of His Cash.
An old farmer In Bruichladdlch, Islay, N. 8., once went to have a troublesome tooth extracted. Said the dentist, after looking at the offending molar, “It Is a very ugly one, I would advise you to have It out by the painless system. It Is only a shilling extra.” He showed the farmer the apparatus for administering gas, remarking that it would cause him to tall asleep for a minute, and before he awoke the tooth would be out After a slight resistance the sufferer consented, proceeding to open his purse. “Ok, never mind paying just now!” said the dentist, kindly. "Hoots!” answered the cautious old Scot “I wasn’t thinking o' that; but if I’m gaen ta sleep I thought I wad like to count ma siller fust.” —London Tit-Bits.
