Here was the artistic system they
employed; They would send pa
tient TO me. and, after l had ex-
tracted his teeth, they would take
him In haad, and, under pretense of
"rectifyfng" my "blunders," they
woHId put arsenical paste or fiber,
saturated with carbOlic acid, into the
tooth sOcket--aad let nature take it's
eeurae. When inevitable trouble
followed they would tell this unfor-
tunate that L had given him bi0Od
poisoning; he would have to go to
the hospital--and he would certainly
file suit for damages against me.
One peculiarly vicious case I re-
call was that of a Fourth avenue
barber. into whose tooth socket one
of the "ethical" dentists placed ar
senie fiber after 1 had treated him.
when 1 saw him he had a hole in his
face into which I could stick my
first. Before he died he visited my
family physician and laid before him
the whole plot. Had 1t not been for
this fortunate circumstance it would
have gone hard with me, 1 have no
doubt.

Mayor Fave,


1t is beautiful custom. Self
ishness Is rebuked, the feeling OF
universal brotherhood Is fostered.
A wholesome and joyous current
of religious feeling flows thru the
entire season to temper its extra
vagance and regulate tn mirth.
When came to Tacoma 81 years
ago, nothing SO impressed me as
the spirit Of optimism; 1t inspired
everybody.
Here on the finest harbor on
the coast, where the rails first
meet the sails, manifest destiny
was building a city that should
be the metropolis of the Pacific.
We were all tOrward-looking,
supremacy confident.
In that spirit, writing of "Ta-
coma Fifteen Years Henso." l
penned and published these lines:
A mighty city has been builded
here.
And half a million people, close
knit, stand,
Shoulder to shoulder, brothers
all, sincere,
A stalwart. faithful, ever grow

The story of whose progress rings
turnout the land.
And this city, proud Queen OF
the westering wave.
In her safest OF harb0rs, what
holds she?
Ships whose hulIs all the oceans
