Oregon Hunter Attacks . Bear with a
Ordinary JackknifA
j. c. Hearing, who was hunting and
trapping in the Blue mountains, few
miles west of Elgin, met with little I'D
venture with bear recently that might
have proved rather serious to him had
il not been for the Intervention Of one Of
his dogs, says the Portland Oregonian.
lie was engaged in setting traps, and as
he had considerable weight to carry he
had no weapon with him except jack
knife, and on his rounds his dogs dig
covered the winter quarters of bear
in a big hollow tree. The bear was at
home. and was pretty much alive, as sub.
sequent events proved. As bear pelts are
quite valuable, Jake was quite anxious
to secure this one, but was afraid that /.
ne went to camp, mile and half dis
tant. bruin would escape, SO he dashed
his pocketknife to the end of a stick and
attempted to cut the animals throat. He
only succeeded in infictng some pain
ful flesh wounds, which SO enraged the
brute that it suddenly came out of its
hole, and was almost on him when one
OF his dogs made sudden onslaught on
the animals rear, which diverted his
attention long enough to enable Jake
to dodge behind a tree, and the dogs
soon made it SO tropical for the bear
that it was glad to take refuge in tree.
where they kept it until q gun was
procured from camp. when the animal
WAS quickly dispatched.

Male and Female Oaka.

Mr.. Knight, the eminent English bot
anist. has made some curious and inter.
esting Investigations on the production
OF flowers of different sex in the various
species Of the oak tree. He shows that
as rule that species Of tree bears the
male and female flowers on separate in
dividuals, but thns these different midi
viduals may be made to produce flowers
OF either sex at will. In forcing the fe-
male oak to produce male flowers, and
vice versa, Mr.. knight employed light
and heat, regulating the supply OF both
to suit himself and according to the end
in view. This remarkable series of OK.
periments proved that, if the heat was
excessive as compared with the light,
male flowers only appeared. On tie
other hand, if the light was excessive
and the temperature comparatively
low, nothing but female flowers were
produced. In other species of trees
which bear the male and female flowers
on separate individuals the experiments
OF the botanist were not SO conclusive
as in tie case of the oaks. However, it
Is believed that these investigations V i'll
finally lead to the conclusion that in
the majority of trees and plants the
cnltivator will be able to produce sexes
at will.-Chicago Inter C.,ean.

casiOn.
Rev. Towner's text last Sunday
morning was, "What think We of

preached from job 2S:2O-28; SUBJ
ject, Wisdom" There was a
good attendance at both services.
The pastor and wife are very thank
full for the liberal Offering they re.
ceived Grangeville bids fair to
bring up its finances in full. This
speaks well for the members and
friends of the church and will mean
much at the annual conference ut
Pendleton next August.
Rev. Mitchell will preach two
sermons at the Lake next Sunday
afternoon. One for the children
and one for the older folks. An

taken.
The subject for next Sunday will

PERSONALITY OF THE POPES.


the Evil spoken of Them.
Two or three bad men are responsible
for almost all the evil that has been said
and written against the characters of
the popes in the middle ages. Farnese.
of Naples; Caraffa, of Maddaloni, an.
other Neapolitan who reigned as Paul
w.; and Rodrigo Borgia, Spaniard,
who was Alexander VI, are the chief
instances. There were, indeed, many
popes who were not perfect, who were
more or less ambitious, avaricious, war
like, timid, headstrong, weak, accord.
ing to their several characters; but it
can hardly be said that any of them
were like those have mentioned, really
bad men, through and through, vicious.
INSCRIPTIONS, and daringly criminal.
Paul ". outlived most of his vices, and
devoted his last years to ecclesiastical
affairs, but Alexander died poisoned. by
On accident.
According to Guicciardini, the pope
knew nothing of Caesar Borgia's inten.
ton of poisoning their rich friend. the
cardinal Of Conreto, with whom they
were both to sup in u villa on August
II, 1909 The pope arrived at the place
first. was thirsty, asked for drink,
and, by mistake, was given wine from,
n flask prepared and sent by Caesar for
the cardinal. Caesar himself came in
next and drank likewise. The pope died
the next day, but Caesar recovered,
though badly poisoned. to find himself
a ruined man and a fugitive. The car.
diDal did not touch the wine. This event
ended an epoch and a reign of terror,
and it pilloried the name of Borgia for
ever. Alexander expired in the third
room of the Borgia apartments in the
raving Of terrible delirium, during
which the superstitious bystanders be-
lieved that he was conversing with Sa-
tan, to whom he had sold his soul for
the papacy. and some were ready to
swear shat they actually saw seven dev.
ills in the room when he was dying. Tho
fact that these witnesses were able to
count the fiends speaks well for their
GOODNESS, at all events.-F. Marion
Crawford, in Century.

BIG JOHN MoRlARTy.

said 70 He the Tallest and Strongest Man
In Eastern Maine.
John Moriarty, known all over east
ern Maine Us Barney Kelley's Giant"
died in Oldtown hospital recently of
typhoid fever, says the Lewiston Even
ing Journal. He has been for nearly
two years employed as construction
hand on the Bangor & Arooetook rail-
road, and later on the new Ashland
branch, where he became sick.
Moriarty stood s feet 9A inches in
his stocking feet and generally
weighed 24O pounds. Had he been fat
his weight would have been enormous.
But he was very lean. why" said
Barney Kelley. "you could feed the
giant ON porterhouse steak and eggs
and he wouldn't gain a pound; but he
was an awful tough mani"
His arms were very long and he had
hands - powerful as the paws of q
gorilla All over his body the muscles
stood out in Jumps and cords, and his
strength was immense. He could do a.
much work as two ordinary men, and
on that account his services were al
ways in demand at more than common
wages. He was especially serviceable
~ = derrick mamie could turn the
heavy crank all day without firing
An AK was like q toy in his hands, :
cant-dog like walking-stick. He could
up end and shoulder small log or piece
of timber that two ordinary men could
barely lift, and in every department
of hearty manual labor he was O very
Hercules.
Many stories are told of the giants
mighty strength. Once, when two
saucy wootlsmen "guyed" him about
his towering height, he seized them by
the shoulders, one in each hand, and
knocked their heads together till their
teeth rattled--and they were two good
sized men.
At another time some toughs came
into q barroom where he was and pro.
ceetled to 'clear the place out" MORT
arty took them, two at time, and
pitched them half way across the street
as though they were so many ninepins.
