For Sweet Love’s Sake.

A case of strong demotion was developed in Denver a few days ago. A young man.of eight summers has just had a front tooth pulled. Re did not wince when the string, to one end Of which the incisor wa< attached, was given the violent jerk that decided the matter, but brightened up ns if greatly relieved, and confronted his mother, who was performing the duties of a dentist, with: “Now, mamma, please pull the other.” As “the other” was not loose, the lady refused, and the boy went away seemingly disconsolate. Soon afterward he returned, mid the mother noticing a peculiar vacancy about his mouth began an inspection. A few well-directedqnestionstrought to light the fact that he had performed the job himself. “How did you do iy?” she asked. “I just put a string around it, gave it a pull, and out it came.” “What on earth possessed you to do it?” “Cause, mam,”, he replied rather meekly, “Maude P—has both her’n out, and I wanted both of mine out.” Mamie and the young man are sweethearts. — Denver Tribune.
