boys and the girls of Mr, Telford's
room, which bas been deferred lor
three weeks, occurred Friday aiternooo
after recess. The glr's wor by the
closest margins: in f^ct. the boys felt
?ure of victory at different times. Tfce
boys got a good start, Clifford Beavers
scoring four successive victories; but
after that nobody was able to claim
more than two victims until near the
end. Finally only Louie Gutfeld and
Frank Doree remained to represent the
boys, and Frances and Edith Llddicoat
to represent the girls. Louie Gutfeld
scored a seemingly easy victory over
Edith Liddicoat, and the boys were
correspondingly elated. He also won
from Frances Llddicoat by a large
margin in the first trial, but lost the
second and third trials by inability to
divide rapidly and add accurately.
Frank Doree then took his place a?
the boys' champion, and won the first
trial easily, chosing cancellation. In
the second trial Frances Liddicoat
chose division, and won with ease. Mr.
Telford chose addition for the third
trial, and Frances .von by a consider

test,
PULLS LEOPARD'S TEETH.
Remarkable Dentistry of Bill Snydar
of New York Zoo.
Alice Rwosevelt. a nlne-months-old
leopard In the Central park zoo in
New York recently had a dozen teeth
pulled and collapsed under tbe opera
tion. After half an hour's work she
was revived by Bill Snyder, the head
keeper, who played the part of dentist
For some weeks Alice, the only leop

ailing. In vain the keepers had of
fered her beef. She refused to eat,
and none of the animal experts could
diagnose her case. Finally Snyder
discovered what ailed her. She had a

double set of teeth on her lower Jaw.
She hail not shed her puppy teeth, and
the other ones had grown In front of
them. The rmoval of the puppy teeth
was decided on.
Bill went for a dentist, but none
would enter the leopard's cage to per
form the operation. At last the keep
er decided to do It himself.
With the assistance of two keepers
he entered the cage, strapped the ani
mal down, forced a block of wood Into
her mouth to keep it open and got
busy with a pair of forceps.
Alice snarled savagely, but one after
another of the puppy teeth came oat
under Snyder's energetic hand. Km the
last one was being pulled the leopard
actually collapsed.
At first Snyder and the other keep
ers thought she was dead, but after
half an hour's strenuous work, Includ
ing the forcing of several quarts of
brandy down her throat, she was re
vived and Is now on the road to com
plete recovery.

The 8tory of a Tooth Pulling by Pet#r
the Qreat.
Peter the Great particularly delight
ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly
enjoined his Servants to send for hhn
when anything of that sort was to be
done. One day his favorite valet de
chambre seemed very melancholy. Tho
czar asked him what was tho matter.
"Oh. your majesty." said tho man.
"my wife is suffering tho greatest ag
ony from toothache, and she obstinate
ly refuses to have tho tooth taken out"
"If that Is all," said Pster, "we will
soon cure It Take mo to her at once."
When they arrived the woman de
clared that she was not suffering at
all; there was nothing the matter with
her.
"That Is the way Bhe talks, your
majesty," said the volet "She is suf
fering tortures."
"Hold her head and hands," said the
czar. "I will have it out In a minute."
And be Instantly pulled out the Indi
cated tooth with great dexterity, amid
profuse thanks from the husbaud.
What was reter*s indignation to dis
cover a little later that his valet had
used him as an executloncr to punish
his wife, who had never had an un
sound tooth In her head.? Argonaut

The Victorian English.
The England which spoke tbe la?
guage which was already dying In the
elghteen-slrtles was before all things
a world of the country. The sights and
sounds of nature played o far greater
part In the lives of the mass of the
people tbau they do today. This Is re
flected. for Instance, in the way in
which birds and animals were spoken
of ?nd the names given them. I have
my jlf once or twice heard old people
in tbe country speak of the hen as
?'Dame Partlet." One is familiar with
the phrase from books, of course? It Is
Chaucer's "Pertolette"? but once or
twice as a child I actually heard it. 1

Fluenoy of Speech.
The common fluency of speech tn
many men and moat women Is owing
to a scarcity of matter^ and a scarcity
of words, for whoever Is a master of
language and hath a mind full of ideas
will be apt In speaking to hesitate up
on the choice of both, whoreas com
mon speakers have only one set of
Ideas and one set of words to clothe
them In. and these are always ready
at the mouth, so people come faster
out of church when It Is almoet empty
than when a crowd Is at the door.?

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES
Kidnap DliMUot Cams Half tha Com
mon Aeht1 and Ills of Alaska
Peopla
As one weak link weakens a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, attains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess cf uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Achee and pains and languor and
arniary Ills come, and there is an ever
incrcasltg tendency towards diabets
and fatal Brlgbt'a disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
Dean's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure ev rv kidn?y ill.
E. A. Suttno, of lla6 Walter St., Sa
lem, Orrgon, says: "For ten or twelve
years rheumatism and kidm-y trouble
wss the scourge of my life and two or
three times I was down on my buck on
socount of the pain being so severe. I
could hardly move owing to the lame
ness and had to leave my farm and come
into the city to doc'or lor the trouble
but nothing seemed to bring me more
than temporary relief. I was in bad
shape just before I went to a drug store
and procured Doan's Kidney Pills. My
limb?|woul!> scarcely support me and I
could only get around at times with the
greatest difficulty. Doan's Kidney
Pills benefited me at once and when
I had used used three boxes I was ab
solutely free from every symptom of
my old trouble and my health was bet
ter than it had been for fourteen year.'
I can conscientiously say tbat Doans
Kidney Pills are the best remedy of the
kind I ever used or knew of,"
