DENTIST WITH NERVE
CAN TREAT A p

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. Mock Sem,
a Chinese leper, is being supplied by
his guards with toothache drops until a
dentist willing to take the risk of be-
ing infected with leprosy by pulling
MoCk's aching tooth can be found.
His guards say there is a cavity in
n one of the leper's teeth, and that
this is what is causing him so much
trouble and making 1t difficult for him
to eat his customary cen and twelve
meals a day.
The toothaChe drops give Mock only
temporary relief, and until the tooth
is extracted or treated and filled, the
Chinaman will not be satisfied. But
Mock knows everything possible is be-
ing done to make him comfortable.
The health authorities are satisfied
that a dentist will eventually be found
willing to look after the teeth Of the
leper.

O. W. Brazelton, an unfortunate white man, who has made a practice for years of preaching on the streets. Is causing the city officials to wear a worried look. Complaints were made of his preaching in front of certain business houses and blocking traffic. The Mayor thereupon assigned him to two particular stands from which he should preach.
 This morning while court was in session he walked in and surrendered himseIf. stating that the Mayor had told him not to preach at certain places but God had told him other wise, and he thought God came first. The Mayor sent him away, but he came back in charge of an officer later and had a bottle of carbolic acid with him. He said that he wanted two preachers and a doctor summoned so that he could prove they were humbugs by driuking the carbolic acid, God taking care that it would not hurt him. Chief
 alters took the bottle and uncoFk- ing made a motion as if to give 1t to the unfortunate man, expecting to see Eim draw back, but he simply shut his eyes and opened his mouth. and sig nailed the chief to pour ahead. The chief of course did not do go.
