His game is a dental one. He goes to the house and extracts teeth without cost, provided a new set is to go in. He calls again in a few days, gets half the price of th 9 plate, and fails to appear again, leaving the victim minus teeth and cash. There is weeping and wailing, but owing to circumstances, there is no gnashing of teeth. The Barcus Horse Stocks Co., of Rensselaer, shi-ped thirty one of their machines during the month of May.

They have the most complete stocks for shoeing horses on the market, and the machine is fully covered by patents. In fact they have practically a monopoly of the business, with the whole country to work in.
