For Sweet Love’s Sake.

A casb of strong devotion was developed in Denver a few days ago. A young man of eight summers had just had a front tooth pulled. He did not wince when the string, to one end of which the incisor Was attached, was given the violent jerk that decided the matter, but brightened up as if greatly relieved, and confronted his mother, who was performing the duties of the dentist, witji, “Now, mamma, please pull the other.”' As “ the other” Was not loose, the lady refused, and the boy went away seemingly-discon-solate. Soon afterward, he returned, and the mother, noticing a peculiar vacancy about his mouth, began ta inspection. A few well-directed questions brought to light the fact that he had performed the job himself. . “ Hqw did you do it?” she asked. “I just put a string around it, gave it a pull and out it came?’ “ What on etath possessed you to dp it TV. “’Cause, mam,"he replied, rather meekly, “ Maude P— has both her’n out, ana I wanted both of mine out.” Maude and, the young man are sweethearts.— Denver (vol.)
