causes distress to all his friends in this
city, where he lived so long and did such
splendid work. The humorous way in
which Mr.. Ralph describes his injuries
and sufferings is characteristic of the
man. Surely he is the stuff of which
heroes are made.
If he had been a soldier he would re-
turn home to have laurel wreaths put on
his brow and his breast loaded with med
ais and ribbons, but he is only a news
paper man. and the sacrifice he has made
to the stern duties of his hard and exact
ing profession does not gain the popular
applause which is the reward of the sol
der. The pen may be mightier than the
sword. but when it comes to hero wor-

A Kensington dentist, who is likewise

Scriptures some time ago in search of a
suitable passage to advertise his bust

came across the following from the Song
of Solomon vi. 6: Thy teeth are as q
flock of sheep that go up from the wash
ing, whereof every one beareth twins,
and there is not one barren among
them This quotation he emblazoned
on his sign, and when his pastor remon-
Strated with him the dentist explained
that the lines were applicable, as the
teeth he referred to were sheep teeth"
or the first teeth that grow in a child's

by two other teeth of the second growth
The dentist is authority for the state
ment that there are only two other refer
ences of teeth in the Bible.
