AFFECTIONAIE CACTUS.


II Hates to Let Go After 1t Gets "a Good
Hold.
If Col. L. l.. Hawkins were to set his
eyes ON the big cactus which sits In the
window of J. Sharnghousen, corner of
Gllsan and West Park streets, he would
never rest until the plant was placed
ON the marble staircase of the new City
Hall, says the Portland Oregonian.
This cactus looks more like a 100-pound
coil Of barb wire than vegetable, and
those whose clothing has been torn by
1t would rather tackle barb wire fence
any time.
Mr.. Sharlnghousen dug 1t up on the
Maricopa Indian reservation In Ari-
iona, and managed to bring 1t with him
to Portland on his return from those
hot, dry sand plains, recently. 1t grew
to Its present proportions among the
hot stones In a region whose only soil is
known as decomposed granite. A per-
fectly round ball, whose surface Is
armed with fish-hooks that never lose
their grip, is not pleasant souvenir to
carry in ones valise, but Mr.. Sharing
housen has landed 1t here without acct
dent. The thing grew for three years,
without rain, and 1t continues to live in
the balmy climate Of Portland, sus-
pended by a wire from the ceiling over
head.
A young woman who was examining
the plant recently became entangled in
its big flshhooks. and was obliged to
stand perfectly still while Mr.. Sharing
housen carefully extracted each hook
from her skirts.

1iv,nr wIthou. NourIshment.

There seems to be no philosophical
necessity for food We can conceive of
organized beings living without nour
lshment and deriving all the energy
they need for the performance of their
life functions from the ambient me-
dium. In crystal we have the clear
evidenceof the existence of formative
life principle, and, though we cannot
understand the life of a crystal. II is
none the less a living being. There
may be, besides crystals. other such in
dividualized. material systems of be-
ings. perhaps of gaseous constitution
or composed of substance still more
tenuous. In view of this possibility
nay, probability-we cannot apodeictic-
ally deny the existence of organized
beings on planet merely because the
conditions on the same are unsuitable
for the existence of life as we con-
ceive 1t. We cannot even with positive
assurance assert that some of them
might not be present here, In this our
world, in the very midst of US, for their
constitution and life manifestion may
be such that we are unable to perceive
them.-Nikola Tesla In Century Maya

Sir William Harcourt accompanied

THE LATE HAROLD FREDERIC.
How He Made German Lieutenant Re-
pair an Outrageous Insult.


pair an Outrageous Insult.
Harold Erederic's self-confidence and
power of dominating strangers stood
him In good stead in one of his first Wis
its-if not his very first yisit-to Berlin.
The incident, as he related 1t, seemed
natural enough TO an American Tot
brought up In awe of military caste,
but to those who knew Germany 1t was
almost surprising that he came through
it with his life. He had been paying
some formal diplomatic calls. and n
the evening dropped in at the Cafe
Bauer In the unwonted glory of a frock
coat and a tall silk hat. This hat was
carefully hung on hat-stand, and
Frederic sat down to read an English
newspaper just arrived. Enter par

and epauletted. lie brushed against the
Ihatstand. knocked Frederlc's hat over
into the sawdust, and staggered to his
seat without as much as looking
around The slight to the hat was more
than Frederic could endure.
In a towering passion he went to the
lieutenant, stood over him. and pointed
to the object on the floor. pick up that
hat SIR" he roared. The officer stared
amazed, the walters were paralyzed
with terror at hearing one so much
more than human so addressed by a
civilian. "Pick up that hat" repeated
Frederic. in tone more menacing than
before. And the lieutenant did what
he was told. He was as irresistibly
dominated by the courage and force of
the man as a schoolboy before his mas
ter; or perhaps he thought Frederic
carried the customary West American
revolyer.-London Saturday Review.

The last issue of the Payette
Independent says
1t is a matter for very serious
contemplation by the voters of
Idaho that, no sooner is the Dem
ocratic. party triumphant in the
state, than shooting should be-
gin in the Ceur d'Alenes. Two
miners, armed to the teeth, went
cunning for an officer of the law.
Fortunately the latter was a
fractional part of a second quick
er on the trigger than they and
they both died,with their boots
on. AS the Idanha Chieftain
pertinently remarks 1.-The
people of Idaho are anxiously
waiting to learn who will be the
next governor-Frank Hunt or
Ed. Boyce."
Of all the ''rot" that has ap-
peared in Republican newspap-
ers about the pernicious effects
the election of the fusion ticket
will have on Idaho, the above is
the silliest. The election of the
Democratic ticket in this state
had no more to do with the kill
ing of those two men than the
fusion victory in Colorado had tc
do with the burning of the negro
rapist at the stake in that state &
few days ago. The men who
were killed at Gem were desper
ate characters, and imagined
they were cocks of the pit.
With comfortable loads of ba(
whiskey in them, they found it
We suppose that if similar oc
currence should happen in Poca
teIlo or any where else in th'
state, some addle- Drained repub
lican editor would lay it to tn
election of the fusion ticket
There would be just as mucl
sense in such an accusation a
there is in the above from tn
Independent. The query in th
above extract from the Sod
Springs Chieftain as to who wi
be the next governor-"Fran
or Ed. Boyce"-is on a parable
with the columns of idiocy ar
pearing in republican paper
about decent people going t
| remain away from the state,
BY advancing such ideas at TIL
time the republican papers al
helping to retard the immediat
e progress of the state. People
s the east who read these insar
utterances, and not being fami
lar with conditions here M
knowing the men who have bee
placed in charge of our state a
fairs, will hesitate about comm
to Idaho. However, as soou
they learn that the administr
!, tion-elect is upholding the laV
preserving order, protecting ca
ital and administering affairs
a manner equal to that given
any state in the union that is u
d der republican rule, we imagil
: that Idaho will continue to
up with decent people and h
r wheel of progress will revol'
y with the same rapidity that
IT would had our worthy townsma
- D. w. Standrod, been elect'
| chief executive.
% We advise the republican pa
,, ers to cease their silly twadd
,, about Idaho going to rack a
4 ruin until conditions warra
such statements. If you cam
1: say anything good of GoyernC

Ii cency enough not to class h
with Ed. Boyce until his offici

Devoid of reason and unused TO earth;
