FROM TUESDAYS DAILY
 THE DENTIST


 He well deserves laurel wreath. the man who tinkers with my teeth: he plugs them up with melted lead, and sooihes my swelled and aching head. and 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 ana 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 and pineers 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 knees. and, muttering, Look pleasant, please" he piled his monkey wrench. It took six men to hold me down when he adjusted bridge or crown, or plugged a hollow fang, and travellers could hear me roar away upon the distant shore of Yang-tsze-kiang. But now like the dentists chair, 1 like l to sit and rest me there. from morning until dusk. to sit in comfort and 10 snooZe, and have the gentle dentist use his forceps on my tusk.
