I How Came the Dentist in Heaven. I 'When junky tired of life's turmoil, Had shuflled off this mortal coil, T'was wondered how that one so given To nameless sins should live in heaven. But this, Fm told, is how it came, VVhen llickered out this earthly flame, His spirit, knowing justice well, Flew down before the gate of hell. He knocked, who's there, the answer came, ' Dock junkeyl, sir, that is my name g He handed the porter a card which read, junky's Dental College, then he said : I have a beastly load of sin, So open the gate and let me inf, Can't do it, said the porter quick, Youlll have to wait, the devil is sick 3 For yesterday while making dinner, Upon a fat, ungodly sinner, He broke the largest fang he had, And has the toothache hellish bad. Hold on, says Dock, that's just my trade. I'm a dentist, sir, the best that's made : just let me in and sure as truth, I'll quickly ease the boss's tooth. IIO The gate flew open and in he went, Conducted to the devil's tent, Where on a pile of sinner skins Old cooty sat and ghastly grinned, Old serpent stooped and eyed him well, Then said he would make him king of hell VVhere unmolested he might rein If he would only ease his pain. Dock opened his valise and took His forceps out with knowing look, And bade the devil spread his jaws, And hold his breath and clinch his claws, Put on the pullers, gave a jerk, Out came the tooth, 'twas speedy work g But to the tooth, alas ! there clung, Full half the jawbone and the tongue g And junky says as recompense I'll only charge you fifty cents. The devil rose, he did not speak, Nor did he want to, words were weak g But seizing Dock he showed the skill The devil has of paying bills. With one wild kick done up in state, He landed Junky l' beyond the gate 5 And then it was the fact befell, He banished dentists all from hell.
