At The Dentist's

A well-known Chicag-o dentist tells an excellent story on himself that will bear the lig-ht of day. The gentleman is the owner, among other possessions, of a cottage on Congress street and, as withmost old-fashioned buildings of the kind, it has an outhouse and other primitive conveniences in the rear of the premises. A new tenant of the cottage made it a sine qua non that before he signed the lease the service of s scavenger should be engaged and accordingly one of those useful but extremely malodorous functionaries was engaged. About a week after this a welldressed man called at the doctor's office at the corner of Madison and Ashland boulevard with a bilí. It was the scavenger. The doctor promptly paid the bill, remarking that the work had been well done. The man ling-ered around a few moments and finally said: "Doctor, you're a dentest, ain't you?" "Yes." "You have to pull and fill teeth?" "Certainly; have you you wish attended to?" "Naw," drawled the scavenger, "but I couldn't help thinking you must be in an extremely UDpleasant business."
