He Proves Valuable Assistant to the
Knight of the Forceps.
AT the Albany dental rooms in Wilkes
barre, Pa. they have parrot that greatly
assists in the work of extracting teeth. The
parrots name is Cesar" He is fine speci-
men Of his species, his intelligence being
something marvellous. DIR. Weller, who has
charge of the loom, says he would not part
with the bird for any money. And no won
der; the parrot brings grist to the mill. The
bird does its work this way:
A man comes to have his tooth pulled. He
gets into the chair and then his courage fails
him. He tells the dentist that the pain has
gone away and that he will postpone the
operation until the uext day. In nine cases
out of ten the dentist is unable to persuade
the patient that it will be to his bodily com-
fort to have the molar extracted. Then.
when the man gets up out of the chair, the
parrot. who has been watching him all the
time takes him in charge.
"Oh, coward! yells the parrot; you
haven't the nerve of a chicken"
The man looks around in CONSERVATION.
The parrot is partly hidden in his big cage
behind screen. The man with the tooth
ache turns around to the knight of the for
CPS and inquiries:
What remarks were those you just
made?"
Il said nothing" replies the dentist. sit
was the parrot who was speaking"
The gentleman is then introduced TO the
parrot A pleasant conversation ensues.
Mice morning." says the parrot; tooth
pulled? No! You better; you catch cold
when you go out; better have it out and b.
done with it; lots people had teeth pulled
this morning"
The man with the tootbache is so dunn
founded over the parrots talk that he hardly
knows what way to turn for the time being.
Then the parrot urges him on again, say
Ing;
doctor is waiting for you"
This is too much for the man. He goes
back to the chair and has the tooth removed
Then the parrot jumps all around his cage
and says: "Oh, amt L happy; feel so
happy with my big tooth out" g That par
into getting tooth pulled. We had
farmer in the other day. He wanted all his
teeth taken out and new set made. We
wanted him to take gas. The old man said:
Well, now, by gosh, | don't know about
that. 1 often heard of people blowing out
risk it Coed boy shouted the parrot;
sensible man; don't you take gas; Just sit
down there. and pulling yonr teeth will b.
Just as easy as husking corn When
the farmer looked around and saw
the parrot, he said: Well, | de
clare; why that bird talked like
man. l guess I'll take his advice and let
you crack away at my chewers. There was
no trouble in pulling the old mans first two
teeth but when the third one came he
jumped two feet in the chair That was
nerve clincher,' said the parrot. 1T wont
happen again; just keep nice and quiet now
and soon your teeth will be out This
soothing advice had calming effect on the
farmer, and he sank back into the chair,
perfectly satisfied with what had taken
place and what was to come. When the
job was through the parrot said: We'll
done; there isn't one man in a thousand
who could go through such an ordeal; you
must have IA wonderful constitution The
farmer smiled and said he guessed he
had. IN. Y. Sun.
