See Dentists First.

Wisconsin conscripts are going TO
"see the dentist" before they so to
the trencher.
Because of the amount of work TO be
done on the teeth of drafted men
and because army regulations assign
only one dentist TO each 1000 sol
dlers, the war department has noti-
fed Gov. e. L. Philip to give pub
licity TO the fact that Badger dentists
have volunteered their services,
The war departments letter fol-
lows:
"Most of the members of the dental
profession of your state have volun-
teered to give free dental treatment TO
all men accepted for the National
army. The dental surgeons propose,
as far as possible. to place in order the
teeth of each selected man before he
reaches the mobilization camp. This
service is to be performed under the
supervision of the office of the sur
geon general. United States army.
"Under the law only one dentist per
thousand is permitted in the army.
One dentist to n thousand is not suffi-
cient TO care for the dental needs OF
the new army before It is ordered 10

these members of the dental profess
sion is. therefore, of great value. not
only to the comfort but to the efficiency
of the National army.

many labors which local boards are al

suggested that these boards must be
asked TO mail notices of this OppOr-
tunity to their selected men, but that

BILE local publicity TO It. and that they

cepted men"

Mr.. Harold Moore was q bilious
countenanced studiOus young man. He
took himself very seriously, and his
life and his work, which latter was the
tutoring of the young son of Lord
GreyStoke, a British nObleman. He
felt that his charge was not making
the progress that his parents had a
right to expect, and he was now con-
scientiously explaining this fact to the
boys mother.
'His sole interest seems to be feats
of physical prowess and the reading of
everything that he can get hold of re-
lating to savage beasts and the lives
and customs OF uncivilized peoples.
Particularly stories of animals appeal

CHAPTER l-continued.

The officers and scientists aboard of
ten discussed the beast, but they were
unable to account satisfactorily for the
strange ceremony with which he greet
ed each new face. Had he been diScov-
cred up,n the mainland or any other
place tlFan the almost unknown island
that had been his home they would
have concluded that he had formerly
been pet of man, but that theory was
not tenable in the face of the isolation
of his uninhabited island.
He seemed continually to be search
ing fer some one, and during the first
days of the return voyage from the
island he was often discovered nosing
about in various parts of the ship, but
after he had seen and examined each
face of the ships company and explor-
ed every corner of the vessel. he lapsed
into utter indifference of all about him.
Even the Russian elected only casual
interest when he brought him food. AT
other times the ape appeared merely
TO tolerate him.
He never showed affection for him or
for anyone else upon the Marjorie w.
Nor die he at any time evince any in
dieatiOn of the savage temper that had
marked his resentment of the attack
of the sailors upon him at the time
that he had come among them.
Most of his time was spent in the
eye of the ship, scanning the horizon
ahead as though he were endowed
with sufficient reason to know that the
vessel was bound for some port where
there would tie other human beings to
undergo his searching scrutiny. All in
all, Ajax, as he had been dubbed, was
considered the most remarkable and in
telligent ape that anyone aboard the
Marjorie w. had ever seen.
Nor was his intelligence the only re-
markable attribute he owned. His
stature aud physique were. for an ape,
awe-inspiring. That he was old was
quite evident, but if his age had i'm
paired his physical or mental powers
in the slightest it was not apparent.
And SO at length the Marjorie w.
came to England, and there the officers
and the scientists. filled with compass
sion for the pitiful wreck of q man
they had rescued from the jungles, fur
nished Paulvitch with funds and bid
him and Ajax Godspeed.
Upon the dock and all through the
Journey to London the Russian had his
hands full with Ajax. Each new face
of the thousands that came within the
anthrapoid's ken must be carefully
-crutinized, much to the horror of many
OF his victims. But at last, failing ap-
parently TO discover whom he sought,
the great ape relaFsed into morbid ap-
difference, only occasionally evincing
interest in passing face.
In London Paulvitch went directly
with his prize to a famous animal
trainer. This man was much impressed
With Ajax, with the result that he
agreed to train him for a lions share
of the profits OF exhibiting him and in
the meantime TO provide for the keep
of both the ape and his owner.
And so came Ajax to London, and
there was forged another link in the
chain of strange circumstances that
were TO affect the lives of many people.
