The Dentist.


We never enter dentists studio
without feeling uneasy. Not that we
have any teeth which we cannot easily
remove without his aid, but still we are
awe-struck in his presence, 1t appears
that our teeth have gone, into COM
mittee OF the whole and move by pla-
toons; so we are not afraid of sudden
and unexpected attack on any stray.
glers, stu we remember what a time
we once had with the old, bacll-number
teeth, and Vince, in sympathetic mem
ory.i The rooms of these artists in
bicusptls and nolars are no places for
quiet and cosy little chats on the follies
of the day, or the lighter and more
frivolous topics of society.
q The conscience of a. dentist must be
something like that of champion
butcher, who kills and strings up his
victim, ready-dressed for the market,
in three minutes by stop-watch, Chi
cago time. A thoroughly good dentist
should be man with nerves like chilled
steel, and aheart like live-oak. Some of
the dentists with whom we are on speak
ing terms are oily fellows, with hands
soft as dudes Uranium, and "a seductive
voice like that of drug clerk. He
will meet you at the door wrapped in a
winning smile and a spotted dressing
gown, and talk as soOthingly as could
a speculator in mining stocks, and he
will inveigle you into the high-backed
inquisitorial chair, and lie to you about
the pain, and root around your sore and
throbbing gums with his thumb-nail,
and all the time smiling like an OK
eyed violet. The next thing you know
trouble will commence. He will slip
ON a pair of highly-polished forceps;
there will be an uncomfortable desire on
your part to open wide your mouth and
howl. A short, decisive jerk, your
poor head will fall back on the chair,
and your mouth will be full of freshly
distilled blood; your eyes will be brim-
ming with tears, and miscellaneous
variety of cuss words will be struggling
for utterance in your larnyx.
But 1t is the old-fashioned dentist, the
country doctor of the crossroads, who
used to grin like cannibal whenever
he saw victim approach his office-he
is the one who used to fill the apple of
our youthful eye. He was terror.
He who has never been put through the
agonizing evolutions of tooth-pulling
drill in the back room of his office,
does not know what fun is. He has
missed several great opportunities.
This rural tooth-carpenter used to per-
petrate his fiendish work in one time
and two motions. If the patient could
not keep his head steady, the dentist
would lay his head on the floor and
hold it down with his knee. And if the
man got alive to his family, who had
parted from him with sorrowful appre.
tensions, the members would meet him
with congratulations, and fried chicken
and biscuits that he was unable to eat.
This ancient gladiatorial dentist was
as remorseless in his operations as a
lynching mob. He had no sympathy
at all for patient. To him tooth
ache was q sardonic joke. And when
he threw man on the floor, put his
knee on his chest and the turkeys on
the wrong tooth and Strengthened him
self, it did seem as though the last end
of that man had come, and was great
deal worse than the first -IcIaS Sift-

Inside a Whale.

AS will be remembered by our read
ers, the carcass of a whale came ashore
nearly three weeks ago on the beach
south of the entrance to ShOalwater
Bay. A great many sojourners at the
shore visited it, and many were the
theories as TO what caused the death of
the monster. By the arrival of the
Umatilla yesterday a solution Of the
problem has been found. Captain
Worth states that three days before the
whale came ashore the Umatilla was of
Gray's Harbor, on her way to the
Sound. A pilot boat coming near, he
hailed to know if they had late paper
on board. The boat ranged UP along
side and threw copy of the OregonianI
on board the Umatilla. Giving
the officer on duty directions
in regard to the course, etc.. Cap
tain Worth went to his cabin, and,
after glancing through the shipping in
telligence, was perusing with much in
terest the local column, when he felt a
violent shock, followed by something
striking the ship tremendous blow on
the side forward. He rushed on deck
and asked what was the matter, and
was informed that whale had broken
water just in front of the ship and had
been struck by the bow, whereupon he
kicked back, striking the ship with his
tail and making everything on board
rattle. The huge monster disappeared,
leaving the surface of the ocean tinged
with blood Three days after the dead
carcass foated ashore. In this con-
nection it is proper to state that gen.
tleman who came up from the shore
yesterday says the whale is now nearly
covered with sand, and is rapidly de-
caying. One of the party who visited
it few days ago climbed up on the
carcass, and while delivering an ami
mated speech suddenly dropped into
the interior of the monster, He scram-
bled out, soaked with decaying blubber
and said he would rather make an en-
trance as Jonah did and take chances
on being digested than to repeat his ex-
perience. Portland Oregonian.

THE OLD CLOCK.

The old clock croons on the sun-kisscd wall
Tick, took tick. took,
The merry second to the minutes call;
Tick, took. 'Tis morn.
A maiden sits at the mirror there,
And smiles as she braids her golden hair;
u, In the light. but her face Is fair
Tick. took. tick, tocki
Far over the sea the good ship brings
The lover of whom the maiden sings;
From the Grunge tree the first leaf springs;
Tick, took! tick, took!
The old clock laughs on the hower-decked
Tick, took! tick. took.
The rose-winged hours elude their thrall;
Tick, took. tick, tocki
The lovers pride and his love are blest:
The maiden Is folded to his breast:
On her brow the holy blossoms rest;
Tick, took! tick, took!
O. thrice, thrice long may the sweet bells
As echoing this thro' future time,
stu. to my heart beats that measured rhyme
Tick, took. tick, tocki
The old clock means on the crumbling wall
Tick, tockl tick, took!
Tho dreary years into eternity fall;
Tick, took! tbs night!
The thread that yon spider draws with caro-
Across the CLEAN of the mirror there
Seems like the ghost of golden hair;
Tick, took! tick, took!
The sweet bells chime for those who may wed;
The neroli-snow crowns many a head
But tree and maiden and lover are deadi
Tick, took! tick. took.
