Under Friendly Cover Preacher Might

Infinitives.
"I tried to' get a chance to speak to
you at church Sunday , " said Mrs. Old-
castle , "but the crush waa so great
that I couldn't push through to where
you were. " "Yes , wasn't It awful ? " re
plied her hostess , as she flecked a bit
of dust from the Gobelin tapestry. "All
the common folks in town seem to
want to crowd Into our church lately.
It's too bad they ain't satisfied to stay
where they belong. How did you llko
the , sermon ? " "Well , as a sermon It
was fairly good , but I do wish Doctor
Goodman would quit spitting his In
finitives. I try not to let It make mo
nervous , but I can't keep from being
chocked every time he does it. " "I
cover let them kind of things bother
me , but that's where the Episcopals
have the advantage of us. If our

Woman Says Store Teeth Act as Gag
artf nf nvHftnlnl tnnfti nvnl tlirm tinr
YORK. For more than n week
NEW
Mrs. Helen Gray was unable to
open or close her mouth without re
moving her now store teeth , 'eho told
Justlco Hoffman in the Yorkvlllo mu
nicipal court during the trial of her
suit for $50 ngalust Doctor Scllm
Worster , a dentist
"Do you mean to say that you kept
your mouth shut for n week and
didn't talk ? " asked the court.
"I didn't keep the teeth in all the
time , " responded Mrs. Gray , who is
past middle age.
" 1 didn't think there was anything
that would close a woman's mouth for
that length of time , " remarked the
Justice.
The plaintiff said she didn't mean
to say that she went a whole week
without talking. What uhe did mean
was that for spells nho couldn't talk ,
as the store teeth acted like a gag
and interfered with articulation. She
explained that last July she called on
Worster to see about substitutes for
her missing front teeth , and that the
dentist agreed to supply her with the
required-articles for $50.
The money was paid and she got a

special hobby of Luman K. Bab
cock , private secretary of Mayor
Shank. Mr. Babcock has hairpins oy
the hundreds and thousands froai
the ordinary llttlo wire affair that can
bo bought two dozen for five cents to
the moro elaborate tortoise shell ef
fects that can be bought at a price as
high as the buyer wishes to go. For
years Mr. Babcock , who Is a modest
young bachelor , has been collecting
hairpins until ho now has approxi
mately three thousand.
Canceled postage stamps , postcards ,
canes , pipes and other things that are
usually collected have never had any
particular fascination for Mr. Bab
cock. But let htm find a hairpin and
his interest is aroused , immediately.
"I always wanted to make a col
lection of some sort , " he says , "but
did not wish to collect something
every ono else was interested in. So
troubles began. They dldu't seem to
work right and she was unable to
eat meat or other articles of diet that
called for thorough grinding. She just
couldn't work her Jaws ono way or
the other. After vainly trying to
break them In ns ono would a pair of
shoes by wearing , she took them back
to the dentist for alterations.
IIo altered thorn , but still they
wouldn't fit , and she had to pass her
neighbors without spoaklng to them
when the gng was In her mouth. For
some tlrao she had to restrict herself
to soft articles of food because of the
awkward teoth.
"You talk very well now , madame , "
the court remarked. *
"Oh , I gave the teeth hack , " sold
the plaintiff. "I tried 'em until my
paticnco gave out ; then I took them
back to the dentist and gave them to
him and asked for my money. IIo re
fused to give it to me. I am not goIng -
Ing to bother any moro with false
teeth. I made up my mind to got
along without them. "
Dentist Worster testified that ho did
a first-class pleco of dental work.for
his client , but that she seemed un
usually hard to please.
Justlco Hoffman said there wcro
two things essential to a woman's
comfort , ability to talk , and eat
easily , and ho therefore felt obliged
to give judgment to the plaintiff for
the full amount sued for.
Women's. Hairpins
far as 1 know , there Is only one other
man In the country who collects hair
pins , and he lives In Grand Rapids.
My collection Is probably the largest
of Its kind In the United States. "
Included In the collection are 535
hairpins that ho found In the streets
during a tour of Europe In 1003. Every
pin is" labeled to show where and
when It was found. There Is ono that
was picked from the grave of George
Eliot , In London ; another that the
horse ridden by King Edward VII.
stepped on while the king was review
ing troops In St. James park ; still
another was found In St. Peter's ,
Rome. There are hairpins from Paris ,
Berlin and other capitals of Europe.
Mr. Babcock has seventy-two hair
pins that ho found In the streets of
Queenstown , and forty that he found
In the streets of. Cork , and he saya
the women of Ireland , ao far as his
experlonce has been , lost moro hair
pins than the women of any other
nationality.
"I was 'in Queenstown four hours , "
ho said , "and during that time found
seventy-two hairpins. "
When Mr. Babcock arrived In New
York from Europe , his hairpins
caused considerable interest among
the custom house officers.

tires at night she takes pains to have
handy at her sldo a large family um
brella opened and ready for use In her
bedroom , despite the time-honored
prophecy of bad fortune which may fol
low such a precaution.
This was her decision following a
strange experience sever ? ! nights ago
when she and her husband were awa
kened at about midnight by a deluge
1
of water dripping on them from the
ceiling. They occupy the second floor
of on apartment building and were un
able to account for the mysterious mid
night drenching. Mr. Greenbaum , who
is a bookkeeper , made many futile at
tempts to find the janitor of the build
ing. The people in the flat above were
j aroused , but could not explain the sud
den shower. Still the water continued
to seep through the colling. Something
had to be done !
"Call the police , " suggested Mrs.
Greenbaum.
"We are being drowned out hero In
our flat ! " yelled Greenbaum through
the telephone to the night desk ser
geant of the Hyde Park police station ,
when at last he got the connection.
"And there is no rain anywhere on the
South side except In our Lat. What
shall we do ? "
The police and the Janitor went to
the rescue. In a few minutes the
dripping ceased and
the Janitor ex
plained that the water carao from a
tank on the roof of the house , which
is used during the summer when the ]
water pressure is not so strong as
usual. It had been filled for the first ;
time that day and it leaked. The
Greenbaum flat got the benefit of all
the water , which mysteriously shunned
other flats.
Greenbaum declares ho will have
cork soles put on his shoes so that If
It happens again he will not bo obllgi-n
to go shoeless to his work. Baby
Greenbaum is crying for
a duck for a
pot instead of the canary bird which
his mother has promised him.

THERE IS
CHICAGO. The clock In the Chicago -
cage nvenuo police Btfition was
just striking the hour of midnight
when the telephone bell on the ser
geant's desk rang.
A woman's trembling volco an
swered the sergeant's "Hollo. "
"Send policemen , quick ! " shrieked
the woman. "There has been a mur
der down here at Clark and the river
A woman was killed. I saw two men
carry her to the bridge and dump her
Into the river. "
"Whero are you ? " asked the ser
geant.
"In trfo Geneva hotel , 1 North Clark
street , " was the breathless answer. " 1
eaw the two men drag the woman's
body along the sidewalk and then cas1.
her Into the river at the northwest corner
nor ot the bridge. Then they ran away.
It just happened a moment ago. I saw
it from my window and I ran straight
to the phono. It was awful , awful ! "
The sergeant slammed
down the re-
celver , shouted his
orders , and a race
down North Clark street In a patrol
wagon was on. Clark street was deserted -
sorted and looked tranquil and peace
ful. The bridge tender was the only
person 'n sight. He said ho had been
walking about the bridge for an hour
or so and had seen no signs of murder
The police could ilnd no trace of the
woman who had
telephoned and the
officers returned to the
station. It was
evidently a false alarm.
The policemen spent a retrospective
hour discussing the days eomo fifteen
or twenty years ago when midnight
murders were common occurrences
In the saloons along the river.
