gallantly since he wits statidinK t.

Fow young peoplo realize that It 1
dangerous to trllio with n wedding,
but It is.
So Wnlter Nixon nnd Jnnucllno Wood
ruff, stood up. Ono of tho young meu
of the party nuked If they would take
onch other for husbaud and wife
Walter took a seal ring off IiIh finger
and put It on that of Jaquellnc. the
mnn who wan officiating pronounced
them mnn and wife, nnd, nmld many
Jokes and much laughter, they re
ceived congratulations from the others.
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."
. Thnt ovcnlng Nixon called Miss
Woodruff for tho express purp'oso of
returning her letter nnd gotttng pos
session of his own, Sho was In
very .becoming costunio and smiled on
him pleasantly.
"i'iu ginu you've come, uear, bin?
Bald, with u twinkle in her eye. "I'vo
ln(n in nn nironv for fenr you hnd

lyou remain so long uwny from mo?"
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

if J really choose to claim you for my

"And you mlght'V ne stopped.
"Put you to a lot of trouble." Slit.

"Not that. You might"
"Might what?" .
Her volco trembled a little.'
"Oh, 1 can't got it out. Don't feel

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

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

(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

I'llza Simpson henrd again the
"nmds of axes on the boundary line.

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

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

had made their nxes audlblo In order
to transfer their qnnrrel to mortals.
