FROM TUESDAYS DAILY
THE DENTIST
He well deserves a laurel
kvreath. the mau who tinkers
svith my leeth; he plugs their
up with incited lead, and
soothes my swelled and aching
head, ami heals the tortured
gum. Upon his skill your com
fort hangs when you have
trouble with your fangs, and
seldom does he fail; his shin
ing instrument he wags aim
draws the old insurgent snags,
then draws his slice of kale. No
more you hear in dentists'
room the shrieks of those who
dread their doom, of those
whose souls are sick: the
patient calmly sits and smiles,
the while the dentist with his
files ami pincers does the trick.
How different in olden days!
The dentist then had painful
ways; he sat upon a bench, and
took your head between his j
knees, and. muttering, “Look J
pleasant, please.” be plied his ]
monkey wrench. It look six
men to hold me down when he
adjusted bridge or crown, or ;
plugged a hollow fang, and
travelers could hear me roar
away upon the distant shore of
Yang-tsze-kiang. But now I
like the dentist's chair, I like
to sit and rest me there, from
morning until dusk, to sit in
comfort and to snooze, and
have the gentle dentist use
his forceps on my tusk.
