And in fear I squirmed about.
He ground and drilled and
washed them out,
Then made a doughty plug;
And into each throbbing hole,
He tapped this alloy snug.
Don't tire, good folks, I did not
mean,
Only to tell you of his skill;
But twas about this honest man,
I, with reverence, now fulfill.
Fate struck him hard,
And many would have been
counted out;
But, not him, he had the stuff;
To stick and fight it out.
But he had lost his hardest fight,
So many of us surely knew;
But ole Doc never said, I'm
licked"
A gamer guy Ashe never grew.
He worked no more at chest of
| tools,
But sometimes came to town;
His hands were staid, he knew,
But he smiled and looked
| around.
He greeted men whose aches he'd
soothed,
And Gods speed bid them all;
He played his part in crippled
style,
Never grumbled at his fall.
I wonder if enough of us,
AS we hurry along our way,
Pay tribute to so great a man;
An invalid night and day.
Did you see him roll his chair
Out into the morning sun,
To humbly thank the Lord again
For a victory he should have
won?
Each time I visited my folks
back home,
DR.. Gambill was on my list;
His courage always lifted me,
That's why I never missed.
But, on my visit of October last
| Natures handiwork, painted
we'll,
Told me at a casual glance,
That doc" was near the knell
His wasted frame and feeble
hands
| Need I say his words were
hushed,
But his faint smile and hopeful
eye
Told me that God is just.
Those kind brown eyes of which
I spoke,
| Were the only reflection of his
SOUL,
But only man of common clay
Would respect from him
withhold.
And now that he has made his
round,
! A lesson he has taught;
God never picks the weak to

A score Of years and even more
Our memories can retrace,
When man, or mouse, or song, or
love,
Our thoughts care to replace.
In County Ashe of beauty renown
A village once began,
And grew and grew with heather
pride,
Well call it just Westtown.
And as you know where'er man
dwells,
His toothache dwells there too;
And he must have the Dentist
Man,
To yank them-one or two,
In this same town of which I
speak,
A dentist lived and worked;
They came from near-they came
from far,
Their molars to have jerked.
And when their teeth he had
removed,
Or had them we'll repaired;
They stepped with pride to be
alive,
And felt shy that they were 81
scared.
They looked around at this and
that,
And in each window peeped;
To see what here at last had
In town they felt so meek.
And as they came to the DENTS
Man,
They learned to buy and sell
And had you disdained to env,
him,
Remember, he kept your
business swell.
Then came this poets time to &C
No family trick could quell tn
pain;
A carbolic plug in mid-nite glow
Even witchcraft was in vain.
Astride my nag at crack of dawn
That chill November day,
We stumbled and jolted into
town,
For pain was holding sway.
And after tieing this heaving
mare
To some naked hitching post,
I stalked around, first here and
there,
For memory I'd almost lost.
Then up that one long flight o
stairs,
Some of you I know recall;
I felt my heart 60 pity-pat,
Need I say I clinched the wall
Once inside this hall of pain,
AS preposters oft have said;
A poW-wow spirit musta got me
For no pain was in my head
By such a hoax, I would not b.
denied;
I had come to see it through,
So I tidied up my locks,
Perhaps my cheeks were scarle
hue.
Then gently opened an oaken
door,
And in the doorway stood
A small but truly kindly man,
Who quietly babe me through
His kind brown eyes and pudg!
face,
Had won me on the spot;
I knew for sure beyond a doubt
That relief would be my lot.
And as I climbed into his leather
chair,
He gently tucked me in;
And asked me all about the folks
I'd heard he was fond of them
Then he silently went to work
With new and shiny tools;
First a mirror; then a probe,
No dentist ever fools.
But soon he found that aching
SHE'LL

How patience must be wrought.
So long! Good Pal! We

You did your job and did it

Bout With Armstrong
Is Goal Of Davis in
Morales
Must Make Impressive
Showing Tomorrow;
Club Card Is Fair

Tomorrow nights boxing card at
Turner's Arena may determine
whether Al Dummy Davis will get
the Christmas holiday shot at Henry
Armstrong in Washington or con-
tinue to bowl over $3.50 fighters for
the next several months in his come
back campaign. The dope is that
BUNNY will get the fight if he is
impressive enough in his 8-round
bout with Felix Morales but that it
will be put off otherwise.
The pair top a fair club card that
should stir up enough action for the
most exactirg customers. Lee Mat
riacini, who comes well recon-
mended, will battle Al Ford in a
heavyweight duel that is almost
certain to see somebody hit the
deck, while Nick Latsios has been
matched with tough Baltimorean
by the name of Nick Kursh in a
better than. average welterWelght
scrap. Latsios has been going at
a lively clip but seems headed for
trouble here.
The Pero brothers, Charley and
Danny, also have tough bouts on
their hands. Charley engaging Kid
Louis in welterweight fuss while
Danny will meet one Joe Woodley
of Harrisburg in a featherweight
argument.
The prelims are rounded out by
Sandy Mack's 4-rounder with Bernie
Cady. Mack recently scored over
Buddy Thomas and probably will be
the choice over Cady.
