Visitors of Eastern Washington are al
ways impressed by the beauty of certain
French names that have come down from
the French Canadians who came in early
days in the employ of the Hudson’s Bay
Company, and from the Jesuit mission
aries. Among these are Coeur d’Alene,
Band d’Orsille, Nes Poruaa and Grand
Coulee. Coeur d’Alene, (pronounced as
If it were spelled Ker Dalai*) is the name
of a beautiful lake, of a mountain range,
a tribe of Indians, an Indian reservation,
and a very rich mining district, all of
which are in Idaho, not far from the
southeast of Bpukane. There baa bean a
grant deal of discussion as to the exact
meaning of the name taken as a whole.
It came originally, no doubt, from the
French Canadians. The Hudson’s Bay
Company had two forts in this country,
Colville and Vancouver, and their trap
pers traveled through here more than a
century ago. Those trappers were almost
wholly French Canadians, and very ignor
ant They knew the French language
more aa a tradition than as a correct form
of apeoch. Hence they often misapplied
words and got things very much mixed.
It may have been so in CVeur d’Alene.
The French word “co-ur” mesne heart,
while “alene" means n sharp piece of
iron for piercing leather, a shoemaker's
awL The d’ la an abbreviation of de,
equivalent to the English of. hence the
literal meaning of the phrase would be
“heart of a shoemaker’s awL’’ By an
accommodation it might mean “heart of
•taal.” This is the favorite interpreta
tion, becanee it is the moat poetical. Still
there is no known reason why ouch an
appellation should have been applied by
the French voyaged*, for the Indians
they named Coeur d’Alenes ware, even aa
late as 1844, whan Father De Smet came
asMng them, a pear, miserable, half-dad,
half-starved tribe that ware a perpetual
prey to fiarcer and slongrr bands of aav
agm. It is doubtful if the true meaning
of the name will ever be made clear,
though it It one of the most musical in the
whole range of language, and this ac
counts for its popularity. Pend d'Oreille,
(pronounced POo Doray) is the name of one
of the largest lakes in the vicinity, as well
as of a tribe of Indiana. “Pend’’comes
from the French verb “pendre,” to
hung. It is the past participle form.
“Oreille** is the French lor ear. Literally
Pend d’Oreille means “banging of ear.’’
and derivatively, “banging ear.” The
idea was no doubt suggested to tbe
French Canadian trappers by the heavy
ornaments that pollsd down the ears of
• the Indians to whom they gave the name.
Similar in significance is the name Nes
Perce (pronounced Ne Percy) from the
French “not,” nose, and “peer,” to
pierce. “Perce” is the past participle
form of the verb and tbe phrase is there
fore Morally, “pierced nose.’’ Them In
dians wore their ornaments in their noses
instead of their ears, as the Pend d'Oyei lies
did. Grand Coulee (pronounced Grand
Cooley) was the same applied to a re
markable basin or depression In the conn
try east of tbe Colombia river, known as
tbe Big Bend, ft is supposed by some to
have oooe been the bed of tbe Colombia
river. Whatever it might have been, it
wan produced, no doubt by action of
water. Tbe word coulee nojdoubt comes
from tbe French “cooler,” which means
to Bow ever, to spin, to slip oat or to run
away. The idea of the French voyageum
wee that the .depression had been canaai
by a big overflow or washout, hence
Grand Coulee. This word is la common
mm in Canada and is similarly applied
lhaea. Ffahme Journal.

New York Bms; I bad been riding in
tha ana# seat with a very plain sort of a
man lor the last twenty miles, when a:
couple hoarded our car at a junction, and 1
he suddenly ottered a cuss word as long i
aa my arm. 1 aaw that he was excited
by their advent, and naturally inquired
If be knew them.
"Knew 'em? Why. that woman la ray
wife," be biased.
"And who Is the man T"
"It’a a feller she’s eloping with."
"They haven’t aeen you yet, aad they
are nicely caught. How long ago did
she leave?"
"Three days. I’ll have a terrible re
veoga."
"Are you armed?"
"No. I'm too dangerous when I’m
armed, and 1 left my revolver at home."
"Then you’ll swoop down on the man
and break him in two?"
"1 orter, I suppose, but when 1 begin
to swoop I don’t know where to stop. 1 1
might damage a dozen others. Sly re
venge must be swift aad terrible, how-'
ever."
"How do you propose to do?"
"I dunno. How would you do?"
"1 should go lor the man without de
lay."
"Yes, that is the proper way. I sap
poet; but If I get wild who’s to hold ms?
I ones started in to lick a man, broke
loose and finally cleaned out a whole town
masting. 1 most take bloody vengeance,
"Perhaps if you would show yourself
tha man would slink off aad the wife re- •
tom to poor bosom," I suggested.
-’T dunno. If he would it would be ell
right, but suppose be trim! to bluff roe? 1
that would make a fiend of me in a mo-1
ment, and I should probably kill every
body In this car. I most bava Mood,'
however.”
"Perhaps you could buy him off ?" I
. said meaning it for a stab.
"Yes, I might, but I guess he’d want
morn's I’ve got."
"Wei!, do you propose to alt here and
let another man walk off with your wife ?’’
“No! By the canopy of heaven, no!
I demand hie heart’a blood 1 Let mease;
ho’a party solid, isn’t he?’’
“Yes.”
“Would probably fight?’’
“I think so.’*
“Don’t look as U he’d let go for 842T”
“No.”
“Well, 1 must plan for a deep sad last
ing vengeance. Let me collect my
thoughts.”
At that moment the woman turned
and saw him, and she at once aroae and
came b«u'k to the seat. He looked at her
with open mouth, and she pointed her
finger at him and said:
’‘Thomas Jefferson Bailey, you open
your yawp on this kysr and I’ll make
you wish you’d never been born! At tbe
next stop yon get off, or my feller will
make your heels break your neck. I’ve
gone and left you, and that’s all tltere is
to it, and 'taint no use to bother us.
Mind, now, or you’ll hear from mel”
And sbe went back to her seat, and
Thomas Jefferson rode nine miles without
another word, and as a stop was reached
he dropped off aa humbly as you please.
He stood beside tbe open window until
tbe train moved ami then whispered
to me: *
“1 got off to collect my thoughts.
Look out for me when I turn loose for
vengenace!”

Tacoma Nttea: The executive committee
of the Washington Press Association has
decided upon Twins as the place for
bolding the next annual meeting of the
association. The organisation is a lively,
energetic one, and every motlier's son
among iti members has the bast interests
in the new state of Washington on tbe
end of his pencil. The editors recollect
with pleasure the exceedingly good time
they had at Spokane Falls last year, and
tbe royal manner in which they were re
ceived and entertained by the hospitable
ritixens of the metropolis of the Inland
Empire. Tacoma will not ba outdone by
tbe enterprising city beyond the Cascades,
and the indications are that a warm wel
come will be extended by the chamber ol
commerce.
Tbe date of the meeting is August 14.
The association numbers about 60 mem
bers, and Chairman Hobart of the execu
tive committee, says that the editors will
come escorting their mothers, sisters,
aunts and sweethearts, and that to any
more will be in attendance. The place
of meeting will probablv be in tbe
chamber of commerce. The formal call
has been issued.
Among the probable diversions of the
coming annual meeting is an excursion to
Alaska. The executive committee ia
now corresponding with San Franaisco
with a view to seeing what can be done
to secure such an excursion. If the Alaska
trip is not practicable, an excursion of
less distance but equal enjoyment will be
.arranged lor some other point.
