Take it or not, folks, the bright young man had something un derneath his curly locks besides celluloid. He knew some thing. f- I am in the peculiar position of being alone and, at the same time, being completely surrounded with all sorts of people. For one reason, I advertise I've learned the little boy's lesson. I never relished the idea of sitting in an office, in solitary state, trying to hatch out patients by setting on a sheep skin. Neither did I relish much the other idea that it would be far better to wait until some gullible victim walk ed into the net and then pluck said victim for everything in the wallet. Advertising has brought me over a million patients in the last twenty-five years. That's not very much like solitude, is it? ! r And; yet, this advertising stunt of mine, which makes the Den tal Trust so indignant, while it has brought me plenty of I company. in this flast quarter of a century, has, also t ' brought me great loneliness, for it has cut me off from the genial companionship of those good and great people who . compose the Dental Trust not only in this State but in most of the others.

They tele JE&ene the pest-house, the police station and the morgue preferably the morgue. ; h . - - i i f ' The reason I am so popular is that I have dared to hop out of the herd of sheep and browse when and' where I please.
