STORY ABOUT A TOOTH

kicked little Willie, kicked little
Willie plenty and promiscuous,

you by the arm and started for
that awful place, the dentists,
where you knew a strong man
with horrible pinchers stood
yearning for sore teeth to come
along. And 10! on the way, the
tooth dropped out, and you fain
would gambol like a lamkin that
had escaped the slaughter.
Silly? Why, man, you were
twice as silly as that Ohio boy,
for it is a fact that one can get
rid of a tooth by firing a rifle
bullet against it, while the
schemes you once tried were all
based on credulity. Age gives us
wisdom only as we progress
through failure and suffering.
Alas! a whole lot of US are even
yet trying to get rid of what
hurts us by tying an old piece of
string to it and letting others do
the rest.
Ray Cox, a, 13-year-o1d, Ohio
boy, shot himself through the
nose while trying to shoot out an
aching tooth, and the newspaper
wits are making fun about it.
Sounds silly, too, doesn't it? But,
hold on, Mr.. Man! you were just
as silly when a boy.

when you had the whole second

that the painless way to pull

of a string to it and t'other end to
