" " JN'o, dad's in Saginaw, but nia'm got some gold in her front teeth yesterday, and she was bound to ro to church today if it killed her. I bad to run all over and and borrow things for her, and then stay homo and take keer of sis." "Is it real gold, Jim." ''I gaess so, for she went in the morning, then in the afternoon, then to a lecture, and now she's gettin'ready for the eTenin' sermon, au' practisin' on f-howin' her three front teeth. I'm goin' to run away as soon as grass starts."—-Detroit Free Press.
