came, he had lump on his jaw,
the fires of desperation in his eyes
and scared feeling clear down to
his toes. He couldn't eat mouth
ful of breakfast, and he said moth
ing OF going to the office. Mrs.
Bowser sat down with good
appetite and took 10 minutes longer
than usual to satisfy it. and when
she rose up she said:
"You have got the toothache, and
we will go to the dentist"
"lps g-gone ?" he whispered in
reply as he pointed to his Jaw.
'We are going" she CURLY con.
tinued. and she put his hat on his
head and his overcoat on his back.
He hung on 10 the halltree and
the door, but she made ready, and
he had TO follow. Unseen by either.
the cat followed at their heels. and
after walk of two blocks they
arrived at the dentists. Mr.. Bow
ser would have run away, but Mrs.
Bowser took his hand and led him
up the walk and into the house
The dentist was at home, and there
was an inexorable look on his face.
One glance at it satisfied Mr.. Bow
ser that he could expect no mercy,
but he stammered out:

not got any toothache."

ed the dentist, with murderous
look in his eyes.

Bowser as unfeelingly as if referring
to peg in a board.
Mr.. Bowser uttered groan

Here's hole big enough for rab-
bit TO hide in"
Mr.. Bowser looked at Mrs.
Bowser and tried TO make her un-
derstand that he wanted the cavity
filled with soft filling-bread crumbs
or cotton or something extra soft
but she simply said to the dentist
':Pull it out !"
ooh, I'll yank it quick enough /"
replied the man of the forceps, and
he made a pass, grabbed on to
something, and Mr.. Bowser felt
the earth heave up and the heavens
to take drop. There were tears
in his eyes as he handed out his
dollar and took the tooth as SOU
venir, but he reached the sidewalk
before he was. elated and exultant.
He was also ready to give Mrs.
Bowser a setback, and when she
asked how he felt he turned on her
with all dignity and replied
"What Are you and the blam-

lies the beautiful but modest and
retiring city of Whatcom, the
county seat of Whatcom county,
the site of the State Normal, the
boarding place of your cousin Jean,
and possessed of numerous other
famous things, whick cannot re-
call just now.
From the deck Of the state of
Washington" as she steamed into
Whatcom's wonderful harbor, |
thoughtfully surveyed the surround
ings. | looked, with regretful eyes,
across the bay to Fairhaven, sepa-
rated from us only by small hill
and large local jealousies. Con-
solidated, we would be city to be
talked about; separate, we talk
about each other. (Whatcom and
Fairhaven are generally spoken of
as the Twin Cities" of the Sound,
but Fairhaven's growth having been
stunted by severe financial spasms,
the resemblance at this time, is not
marked).
AS leaned on the rail Of the
steamer, and gazed over the town
and sea--a feeling Of sea sickness
came over me-(that is the fact in
the case, but what l meant to say
was this); My mind went back to
80, the year that will go down in
history as the date of the landing of
self and relatives in this celestial
spot. Then, where now cluster the
ships of many nations loading with
our unexcelled lumber, shingles,
coal and Chuckanut stone, the
Siwash padded mis- canoe to the
beach and went forth to dig the
festive clam along the waterfront
now interlaced with wharves and
railways, and humming with the
activity of shingle mills, lumber
mills and salmon canneries, old
Bellingham rolled her tons upon
the beach, and "heard no sound
save her own dashings ;" where are
very good looking edifices of stone
and brick, planked and paved
streets, then stood dense forest OF
FIR, cedar and hemlock and in all
the corporate limits of the present
city of Whatcom were not more
than thirty buildings, most of them
being the remains of the Fraser
gold excitement OF 'sS; where
railroads, gravelled and planked
roads now stretch out into the
country on all sides, then the deer,
wildcats and bears roamed the
woods unmolested save by an oc-
casional settler, who with pack
horse loaded with provisions bought
at the "Company's store" was
following the half beaten path to
the hole in the woods he called
home. Who can doubt-we don't
that on these shores, meath the
shadow of Mt. Bakers [ Quilshane's)
snowy spire, lies the future heir
apparent to the sovereignty of the
Sounds
I'll now change cars, and, as il
were, proceed on another train of
thought. No, come to think of it.

Hoping this will find you enjoy

wherewith to satisfy it, | subside.

THE EVERGREEN
A Spicy, Breezy Western Letter Written
''By Scotch Lassie JEAN"
New WHATcoM, WASH,
February :, 1901.

Dear Cousin ESd90.
There being nothing that / can
do just now to earn my salary,
hasten to insert clean piece of
paper into my hardworked type
writer for the laudable purpose of
sending you an idea or two. You
must be about out of that com
modify, Ell, Esaw
l shall advise you as to the at
mospheric conditions existing here,
first thing, so as to have that off my
|, mind; after which l am liable to
Nsoar on the gauzy bronzed wings of
my fertile fancy to heights where it
may be difficult for you to follow.
This northwestern corner of the
Evergreen State" has had the
usual supply of rain prophesied by
the almanac. We don't deny that
We have too much rain here but it
is nice clean rain, and we are will
ing TO render due thanks that it
doesn't rain ink or castor oil.
Selah We have also what we have
not had before for many winters,
and goodness knows how many
summers-snow enough for sleigh
ing Within twenty-four hours
after the first snowflake fell, and
didn't melt, every wagon, buggy, dry
goods box and sled in town that
could be fixed to slide besides
every cutter the livery stables boast
of, were flying around, filed with
laughing crowds. One artistic con-
veyance in the shape of dry goods
box on runners, and an ancient
quadruped, with a hoarse sounding
cowbell strung onto him some
where, reminded me forcibly of q
time out in the country, when my
brother and his sister started for a
sleghride in just such rig, with all
the accessories in the way of rope
harness, COW bells, etcetera. The
COW bells ratified our cayuse
(that is Siwash for "horse," in case
! you are not familiar with that polite
language), and the way we were
conveyed over those corduroy roads
was neither slow nor comfortable.
shall not harrow up your young
soul with the details Of that mad
ride suffice it to say, that later in
the day, we walked slowly, sadly
home with the remnant of our am
bilious turnout in gunny sack. We
borrowed the gunny sack.
q don't feel like soaring yet, so
will do what all Christendom is
doing, talk about Seattle).
Last week, thought ! would
take chase down and see how
badly the "Queen City" was pulled
up since Moran Bros. got the con
tract for building the new battle
ship and Andrew Carnegie had
been paying her marked attention
in the way Of a 500, 600 donation
to replace her public library lately
burned and incidentally, % dust
off little Of the hayseed and moss
that had settled upon my otherwise
Immaculate person. II possible,
she is more infatuated with herself
and her prospects than ever before :,
but justly so. When Horace
Greedy said "Go West, young man,
ami raise onions" many obeyed
him, literally some went West and
raised Cain--and arc now Back
East" for their health others are
here yet-tryiDg to raise a mortgage;
but those who stopped at Seattle
have reared a mighty city, which to
know not is TO "arzue yourself
unknown"

our ympa,hie. than the limits Of
our town. we include the whole

Great military pomp and splendor

from all over the country are to be
brought to Washington and civic
organizations will be subordinated

Philippines, but the plan had to be
abandoned.

real Canada, in search of his brother
Nicoll McIntire, to find that he was dead
A few weeks ago Nicoll McIntire went
to Indianapolis TO work and was killed by
train. AS he could not be identified his
body buried. Soon afterward William
Musser, living south of Bloomington made
inquiry, and, becoming satisfied that Nc
Intire was his son-in-law, went to Indian
apolis and had the body exhumed, and IL
was buried near here this afternoon after
being identified by the family.
John McIntire, the brother, who came
on the same train with the body when he
arrived. asked for Information regarding
Nicoll McIntire, stating that he was here
to divide considerable estate left by their
father, who had just died McIntire was
shown a local paper with an item noting
the arrival of the body, which was his
first news of the death. The dead brother
left Canada about twelve years ago, and
the request of the widowed mother was
that he be located and the two brothers
