No ono coiiHldcrcd it anything more than an escnpade. nnd when n uew amusement was proposed tho specta tors forgot all about the first. A few dnyu Inter Miss Woodruff, on opening her mall, read a note from Walter Nixon, beginning "My dear wlfo." It contained an invitation to tho theater and several facetious rc remarks as to hor duty toward the writer as her husband. It was all very funny, nud somehow It nounded rather pleasant. She was of n mar riageable ago and slnco sho wbh twenty-two yean old thought it high tlmo sho should bo married. Nixon was n good fellow, nblo to support a wlfo and generally acceptable. Jaquelluo did not know how much of Joke nud how much of enrne9t there was In his letter, but sho felt nt liberty ttf reply in kind. So sho began hor letter "My dchr husband" nnd signed it "Your loving wife." Boon after this Nixon was telling Oummlngs, a lawyer friend, about "tho Joko," as ho called it. Gummings looked n trlllo serious, whereupon Nixon asked him if ho thought nny thing pf import could como of it 'Tho lady," replied tho lawyer, "If sho were disposed to claim you an her husband, might make it very unpleas nnt for you." "You don't mean It!" oxclnlmed Nixon. "You have addressed hor as 'My denr wlfo,' which Is pretty good ovldcnco lit law that you luivo married hor. Suppose shu says sho considered tho niarrlngo n contract. What nro you going to do about it with your letter in her hands?" "By Jove! I nover thought of that. What shall I do?" "Sho only thing you can do is to get your letter nnd destroy it" "l!ll do it nt onco." .

How pleasant thnt sounded! Though tho words were In fun, he thought ho would llko to hear more of their kind, 'rio would keep up tho pleasantry for nwhlla befovo mentioning tho matter off tho exchange of letters. So he said something to her thnt ho considered proper for a husband to say lo a wife, forgetting thnt It wiih more appropriate for n Mover, and It was all so funny "that tlioy kept It up for soma time, lloforu departing- ho nnlil: "My Mend Cuinuilngs nnyn that It you" roally choose to claltji mel moan if J really choose to claim you for my wlfo I might put you to u lot of trou bio."

PROPER CHEWING OF FOOD Children Should Be Taught to Masti cate Thoroughly and Give the Sa liva a Chance. At n recent dental mooting, held in Indlnnn, a spanker mado this state mont: "Tho education of tho aver ago mnn, woman and child has been sadly neglected. They have been taught to eat, but havo not beon taught to uso their teeth. Whon we bolt our food wo ignore- ono of tho most lmportnnt ferments, ptyalln, in our snllva, that has much to do In the process of digestion. Hut the Ameri can habit is to spit, and tho Americans nro tho greatest splttcrs In tho world. Between monls they spit out tho In vnluablo balivn; then whon they, chow 'thoy wash down every unc'howoil mouthful of food with copious draughts of wator, coffco or In sum mer, Iced ten. What a foolish, dis gusting habit it is, and more than fool lsh, mora than disgusting, It Is killing In its hurtfulness. A habitual splttoi at mlddlo ago will havo tho broken down dlgostivo apparatus of an old man at seventy-five. Men who bolt their food, who put their saliva out oi business, nro drug shop chasers and slew sulcldc3." In answer to Inquiries addressed tc onb hundred and fifty leading physi cians in this country, 98 per cent oi these physlclanB said that chewing of food was an Important factor towards good health, and thnt the bolting of food frequently caused cancer, ca tarrh of tho stomach and gastric ul cers. If food is not thoroughly chewed and Is permitted to reach tho stomach in largo lumps or masses, thero is no question that It must Injure tho soft lining of that organ, producing- many of the cases of ulcer and catarrh thai nocd careful and consistent medical attention. It has beon said that fully 75 pel cent, of tho people of this country bolt their food. This habit is usually ac quired during tho early years of child hood, and carried on during ono'f whole ltfo. In many of the homes the early morning hours aro given to pro paring tho children for school. Von froquontly they nro permitted to sleep late, and then in tho hurry and bustlo to got thorn to school on tlmo, the breakfast is bolted. Theso samo con dltlons of hurried meals apply to the lunch hour nnd at supper tlmo. From day to day this Is pormltted, until the hnblt Is firmly established, carried up to manhood and then down through old age. Wo have a lesson ovcry daj of tho bolting of food. Walk into the quick lunch room of tho cltlos and see those "hustloro" at work. Look down tho long row of tables, boo tho rapid movement of tho eating contest, for which prizes aro offered to tho follow that gets through first. Many of these lunch rooms advertise how quickly you may t bo filled from their lardor, and tuko prldo la tho number thnt can bo filled In a given time. v It should bo tho duty of nil parcnti to mnko their children cat slowly, and chow their food properly. Natura has placed tho teeth In our mouth for a very vnluablo purpose. If wo nog loct to keep them In Bhapo and tc properly use them, we are Inviting con ditions that seriously threaten out health and general welfare (Copyright, Western Newspaper Union.) GUM DISEASE IS PREVALENT Many Persons Afflicted With Pyon rnea Areolaris, Which Attacks TIs sues Around the Teeth. Tho dlscnso known as pyorrhoa al veolitis Is probably tho most preva lent of All dental diseases, for more teeth nro lost from this condition than all others combined. Tho .dlsoaso oc curs In tho mouths of nil clnBBes oi peoplo more frequently, howovor, In tho moutliB of thc-so who hnvo boon rnthor neglectful In regnrd to tho care of tho teeth. Yet pyorrhea can and docs occur In tho mouths of tflosowho give their teotli tho best attention. Tho dlsensu differs from "decay of the tooth" In that tho tissues around tho teeth nro attacked and destroyed rath er than tho teeth themselves. Tho most Important thing to bo Im pressed upon tho mind of tho pnttent is, the fact that tho best and most permanent .results can bo obtained in the treatment of tho dlaeaso when it la recognized and corrected in ita earlier stages. Tho dlaeaso generally begins by como foreign subBtnnco, hucIi as tar tar, deposited on tho teeth, causing Ir ritation of tho guma. Unless this tnr tar is carotully removed the dlscnso gradually progresses and tho tissues around tho roots of tho teeth are do- dostroyed, TIiub pockets nro formed about tho teeth Into which filth and bacteria accumulate. This condition will gcnarally bo mantfcBted by tho teeth shifting their position either spreading npart or ro tntlng or both; pus flowing from tho pockets whon prossuro Is rondo over tho tooth root nnd tho atfectod tooth gradually becomtng looso and tho gums soro or tender and bleeding easily. Tho vital thing for tho patient to know is whether or not tho tendency towards pyorrhea is ovidoncod in his mouth and if so what can bo douo to hold tho dlaeaso in abeyance or check lta progress. No lnedlclno has over beon Buggest ed which will euro pyorrhea and tho Boonor this fact is recognized by both dontist and patient tho bettor for all concerned, Tho best treatment is tho thorough removal of nil irritating sub stances of whatover naturonnd tho pollsblng of all oxposod tooth sur faces and tho subsequent proper uso of tho tooth brush, powdor or pasto to hoop teeth and guma in a healthy condition. HOW A FEUD AROSE Br EVAN CAMERON Copyright by An erlonn Pre Amo efiukin. 1911, (junrrels uro like lire. First there is u spark, then a tiny flame, then it snapping, then a blazing the, then a roaring conflagration. And tho worst kind of quarrels uro those botween frlonds. r Two pIoucerB. I)nu!?l Simpson nnd Henry Underwood, emigrated with their families to tlio far west and en tered land owned by tht' government. Thoy had been m-h-xil tunica and owned farms side by sldi-. 'J hero was no oc casion for a dispute to arise between them so long im they remained In thc enst, for their boundaries had been sur veyed and fixed gum-iMtlons ago, nud, being well fenced, the stock of neither could -trespass upon tho other's prem ises. Therefore their affection for each other grew stronger, and tho fami lies were further bound together by an engagement between Eliza Simpson and Frank Underwood, the oldest daughter of tho ono "nnd oldest son of the other. Tho two friends each entered n quarter section of laud, tho two farms being side by Hide. Simpson's land was moro largely covered with tim ber than Underwood's, and this fact becamo a wedge between them. A railroad coon nftcr their settlement on tho land was projected to run along side their property, and It becamo at onco apparent thnt tho timber would bo vnluablo for tics. As soon as this was learned Underwood becamo In terested In his boundary line covering as much of a wood as It could be stretched to cover, living on tho lino between tho two properties. Ono morning SlmpBon went out to ward his friend's property nnd found Underwood driving stakes on whnt bo considered to bo his own land. Ho protested, rind Underwood dcclnrcd thnt that was tho dividing lino nnd bo was intending to begin the next morn ing to fell trees in order to bo ready to supply tho railroad with tics as soon as there wna need. Simpson declared that ovory trco ho cut beyond n cer tain point would bo robbery, Then Underwood called Simpson ja pig nnd tho fight was on. Tho next morning tho cx-frlcnds met on tho lino of dispute, each hnvlng an ax with which to fell Umber, and be fore tbo day was over instead of fell ing trees they foiled each other. Nei ther coming homo to supper, their re spective families went out to look for them nnd found their dead bodies, the skulls of both being clpvcn. Tho trouble threw n gloomioyor both families. It was cspecinlly deplornblo on account of- tho cngagotnafK of the two young people. Frank Under.wood. In order thnt there might be no more trouble, sent to tbo county seat for a Burvoyor, who fixed tho boundary. It turned out that neither his father nor his father's friend was right, tho true bouudry being a dlngounl lino with the one about which they contended. Nor was this all that was. mistaken In tho matter. The disputants had not long been burled when the railroad to whoso contractors thoy hads expected to sell so many tics was discovered to bo running tho line several mtlea away from the property of elthpr nnd through lta own llmberlnnd, i. Ono night -when Eliza Simpson was sleeping at home she wiih uwakened by tho sound of axon being driven Into the trunks of trees. The sound seem ed to her to come from the direction of tho boundary line. She sat up In bed and listened. The ax men were apparently vying with each other. eiu-ii HinviuK to HiriKo more rnpuuy. Eliza got up nud went Into her moth er's room to awaken her. but by the time she hnd succeeded In. doing so tho sound had ceased. The next morning when she bad told of what sho bad heard all considered that she had been dreaming.- . Never theless she dcclnrcd thnt sho hnd heard the axes distinctly, tho sounds I'otulug frontj a polntiotween the Simpsons' una the Undorwopds' dwell ings. When she told her lovor nbout It ho declared that If any such sounds Had existed he would havo heard thorn more readily thnn hit flnncee. since tho Underwood houso wnn nearer the lino on which the timber bordered than the Simpsons'. Eliza, who was positive iik to what she had heard. gave him a shnrp reply, nnd ho left ner In nnger.

Mr. Umierwimt! hnd been under a strain ever since the entas trophe mill upon Mrs. Slmpson'H visit lost her self control completely, de claring that she believed Simpson had murdered her husband, who uctedslm ply In self defense. The families of the men who hnd killed each other now came to open warfare The match betweon Eliza nnd Frank was broken off, and no one of tho Simpsons spoke to nn Under wood. Tho members of the younger genorntlon were becoming men nnd women, nnd the generation after them Inherited the quarrel. As tho families multiplied tlio fond spread. A clergy man, preaching on the matter to the third generation, dcclnrcd that ho be lieved tho two murderers had contin ued their quarrel ns spirits, and Batau had made their nxes audlblo In order to transfer their qnnrrel to mortals.
