'CEO JBC OY 1Plot to JBC. if To have it out or not: that is the question. Whether 'tis better for the jaws to suffer The pangs and torments of an aching tooth, Or to take steel against a host of troubles And by extracting end them. To pull, to tugg No moreg and by a tug to say we end The toothache and a thousand natural ills The jaw is heir to,-'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To pull, to tug- To tug! perchance to break-ay, there's the rub For in that wrench what agonies may comeg 'When we have half dislodged, the stubborn foe Must give us pauseg there's the respect That makes the aching tooth so long of life l For who would bear the whips and stings of pain The pangs of hope deferred, kind sleep's delay, When he, himself, might his quietus make For one poor dollar? . Who would torments bear, And groans, and sink beneath a load of pain, But that the dread of something left behind VVithin the alveolar borders, from whose pangs The jaw may not be freed, puzzles the will, And makes it rather bear the ills it has Than fly to others that it knows not of? Thus dentists do make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of fear, And many a man Whose courage seeks the door, 'With this regard, his footsteps turn away, Scared at the name of dentist. 98

El 5011 of ECHUZI CALIFORNIAN who had just been appointed to a government position, was on his Way east to take charge of the work, when he made the acquaintance of a dentist traveling to St. Louis to take part in a dental convention. Being an inveterate joker, he informed the venerable disciple of the forceps that he, too, was about to enter the profession in a modest way, and by judicious appeals to the older man's practical experience, he Hattered him into quite a liking for himself, and when they arrived at St. Louis, the dental delegate insisted on taking him into the convention. When they reached the Committee on Credentials, it Was plain that an explanation must come, and our Californian calmly informed the astonished assembly that his dental occupation was a government position, which involved the removal of some troublesome snags from the mouth of the Mississippi. EQDHYICD LITTLE Willie's gone away, His face We'll see no moreg He thought 'twas only HQS, But 'tvvas HZSO, Easy FRESHMAN: Doctor, I have an important physiological question to ask you. Wheii I stand on my head, the blood rushes into my head. Now when I stand on my feet, why doesn't it rush into my feet? DOCTOR: Because your feet are not hollow, Sonny.
