\ GUIDE TO SPORTS.

Bobbing for Whales-Few of the
old school Of anglers will admit that
there can be any sport in bobbing for
whales and insist that taking whales
by any tackle other than rod and
line is mere slaughter. This is the
view OF those who have never tried
bobbing. Once this method has been
tried, no sportsman changes from IT,
Take three hundred yards Of six-inch
wire hawser and attach a moose of
thread to one end. To the other end
fasten an empty kerosene can to
serve as a float. Now retire to a
lighthouse and watch the oil can
through a powerful telescope. As
soon as the can begins to bob you
may be sure that a whale has run his
head into the moose. Dive from the
lighthouse and swim noiselessly. up to
the bobber Knot the cable around
your wrist and swim back to the
Lighthouse, where the cable must be
made fast to the weather vane. The
whale will then swim round and round
until It becomes so dizzy that It can
be easily lifted out Of the sea. 1t is
customary to put back in the water
all whales under ninety-five feet in
length
Chamois Hunting-The chamois is
the great game animal of Switzerland.
1t bounds from crag to crag In the
Alps, and such is its marvellous agil-
ity that it can bound to the top Of the
highest hotel bill. To pursue the
chamois with success 1t is necessary
to hire a sprlhgbok (thls is an Afri-
can antelope, not drink as its name
seems to imply. Mounted upon the
springbok, the hunter can bound
from one crag to two crags, thus go
ing the chamois one better The
quarry soon recognizes the futility of
flight and will surrender itself to the
hunter with a low moo Of resignation.
The creature is useful for polishing
silver upon.
Ostrich Snaring-Take a piece of
granite and from 1t make an imlta-
ton hole in the ground. Place where
ostriches are plentiful and then scare
the birds by singing "Give My Regards
to Mabel" One Of them will try to
hide in the imitation hole and will
break its neck on the granite.
Throwing the Harpoon-Thls is an
exceedingly popular sport and one

BLEAK HOUSE.

BLEAK House" is perhaps OF all
Dickens stories the one whose scenes
are most easily identified, The house
which gave it the title still stands on
the edge of the cliff at Broadstairs as
it did when the novelist lived there.
And coming to London one can gaze
with awe at the very house in Lin
coins Inn Field where Mr.. Talking
horn lived and died. and which was
the residence of John Forster, the hi
ographer of Dickens.
chichester Rents also exists. al
though Krook's rag and bone shop
was recently pulled down, and proto-
tpyes Of Mr.. Memo, the copyist, can
be seen any day leaning against the

and engage them. Chief of all Bleak

CANNOT BE HIDDEN.

Napoleon Bonaparte once advised
Talma, the great actor, to cancel the
tyrant in playing Nero. saying, NO
man admits his wickedness. either to
others or to himself"
Before man commits a criminal
act he takes one of two attitudes and
sometimes both, namely. that the
thing is not so bad after all and that
* will never he known to others. The
first springs from self respect: the sec
Ond from pride. No man of dissolute
habits ever retained either of these
qualities SO necessary to success; in
attempting to deceive both himself and
others. he ended by deceiving himself
alone.
There is nothing in this world that
can be hidden. That is law inviolable.
There was once man prominent in
the social life of one of our cities,
rich, respected and the head Of a fam
ily. That man visited low resorts Sc
cretly at night for five years and was
never discovered. No doubt he
chuckled inwardly at his cleverness
and plumed himself that nobody knew
But somebody did know. He knew.
And the result was that gradually that
man lost his mental poise, his self
confidence, his faith in himself and
others; he became moody, glum. cold.
His friends observed the decadence
and attributed it to i'll health. Year
| by year he grew more careless in
dress more pessimistic in outlook,
and radiated from himself a negative
| impression that chilled all who came
in contact with him. And he thought
nobody knew. Perhaps he was right
nobody knew exactly what he had
done. but everybody knew exactly
what he had become. The law of
cause and effect in these things is as
sure as gravity, and though we can
not see the cause, the effect is seen
SO surely as a man tells a lie to,
! day the expression of his eye will
| be less frank tomorrow: everything
we think is printed indelibly on that
sensitive negative, the human face,
And the trained eye can always read
the story written there-he may not
| be able to furnish all the dates, but
he will be in possession Of the necces-
sary main facts.
- man passes for what he is
worth" says Emerson. what he is
cngraves itself upon his face, on his
| form, on his fortunes, in letters of
| light which all men may read but him
self. Concealment avails him nothing
boasting, nothing. There is confess
| sion i'm the glance of our eyes, in our
smiles, in salutations, and the grasp
Of hands His sin bedaubs him, mars
all his good impression. Men know
not why they do not trust him, but
| they do not trust him. His vice glass
es his eye, demeans his cheek, pinches
| the nose, sets the mark of the beast
on the back Of the head, and writes
o fool, fool, on the forehead of a
king. # you would not be known to
do anything, never do it."
Write this on your heart; the thing
! you do under cover of darkness to-
night will be published in your face
for the world to read tomorrow.-Se-

SELF HELP PAYS.

Eugene people are working hard
to build a railroad from Eugene to
the coast and they are going out up
on the assumption that God helps
those who help themselves" They
have a company formed for the pur-
pose Of promoting the road and re-
garding the same the Eugene Guard
has the following;
"The Lane County Asset Company
is a home concern, but it can accom-
plish the purpose for which it was or
ganized, if the people will stand back
of it. Lane and Coos counties are per-
fectly able to proceed far enough with
the construction Of a railroad to the
coast to enlist the capital necessary
to complete it, if a determined, or
ganized effort is made with that pur-
pose in view. In fact, there is no
other way to accomplish this object;
the people here must show their faith
in the enterprise before outside capi-
tai will seriously consider it. That
the Lane County Asset Company is
actually accomplishing real results in
assembling assets in the shape of sur
veys, rights-of-way and other prop
erty valuable and necessary in rail-
road construction, is plainly evident,
and that its managers purpose to
push the work right along without
unnecessary delay is just as certain.
We firmly believe this company will
build, or cause 20 be built, a railroad
to the coast which will develop the
great resources Of the coast country,
open up its vast timber belts, and
make Eugene a great jobbing and
manufacturing point within the next
few years"
Regarding this particular venture
the East Oregonian Of course is not
informed. But this paper does know
the value Of community effort and
consequently feels like congratulating
the people Of Eugene upon the course
they are taking. May they succeed
ir building a railroad to the coast
and may it accomplish for Eugene
all that Is hoped.

o. HENRY.

Those who have been entertained
by the writings Of William Sidney
Porter, and their name is legion, win
appreciate the following good esti-
mate Of his work, the same being from
an eastern publication:
The mission Of William Sidney
Porter, better known as o. Henry,
whose sudden death, this week is
deeply deplored by the literary cult
and the magazine reader, was primar-
lily to amuse.
His work was eagerly accepted and
highly appreciated. He was prolific.
He sought neither to instruct nor to
convince; he had no deep underlying
theories to exploit. His passion was
10 tell story brightly, humorously
ard enthrallingiy.
One found him in Sunday edition.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-06-11

III a ten-cent magazine, in syndicates'
employ, in the book stalls. His
works were voluminous, but never
pcnderous.
o. Henry came out of the Lone
Star state. where he once reported on
the Houston Press. Then he dashed
off witty paragraphs; then he wrote
Sunday stories.
The east saw him and claimed him
and New York soon gathered him into
her galaxy of literary folk. His work
vas always in demand and London ac-
cepted his efforts. He was a con-
stant contributor to the "Idler,"
If not great literary man, Sidney
Porter was a successful one; if not
entitled to great distinction as an au-
thor. he will like George AIDE, be re-
membered for his satire.
He made no bid for Immortality
and seemed to have little ambition to
make masterpieces, yet his pictures
of American life, in its myriad vary
ing phases, from the magnate to the
hired girl and from the coal HEAVIER to
the soubrette. showed that he was
very very close to the great beating
heart of humanity.
He died at the age of 46, and he
took with him from the current
periodical a certain scintillation which

WOULD DESERVE MORE.

This story comes from lawyer,
says the New York Telegraph: "a
worthy and provident man went to
his legal adviser to make his will He
gave many instructions, and It seemed
that everything was arranged. The
lawyer began to read over his notes,
and put a point to his client.
"Oh-you have made provision for
your wife in the event Of her surviv-
ing you. Does that remain unaltered
If she should marry againp"
mo, no." said the client eagerly.
What am 7 leaving her? One thou
sand dollars a year. If she marrles
again make II $4,000"
The lawyer thought there must he
a misunderstanding and pointed out
that most men put It the other way
about.
ct know. said the client, "but the
man who takes her will deserve IT,"

\ CHRISTIAN.

He was a Christian | believe;-
His creed | did not ask him.
He wore no labels on his sleeve.
There was no name to mask him:
We met as men, and only men;
And yet. the more | knew him,
l telt that somehow there and then
The Christ was speaking through
him.
He did not voice religious phrase
With long-drawn pious JUNCTION;
He talked in simple, manly ways
And laughed without compunction;
He was no spare ascetic saint
But just wholesome fellow.
As free from all pretense and taint
As he was sweet and mellow.
Yet no insipid soul was he.
A pulp of moderation;
His scorn was terrible to see.
And great his indignation:
As mild ana modest as a dove
Few We're there that were braver-
\ tang of hate was in his love
That gave it finer flavor.
man he was, nor more nor less,
Most genuinely human,
In whom there dwelt the gentleness
And purity of woman;
\ woman and a man in one,
Earth has no mixture better,
\ Christian, aye, or there is none
Beyond the doubtful letter.
Not every one that GALES Me. Lord"
'Tis Christ Himself that speaketh-
But they that do my Fathers word:
'Tis such the Father seeketh."
And so whatever creed men claim
The life approves or spurns it,
And evermore the Christian name
Is his alone who earns it.

MAGIC TOUCH OF THE TROLLEY

Plans are now pending in Lewiston

With unlimited water-power that

sources for industry and commerce.
an interurban trolley system with Lew
i>ton as center. would have a rich
field for operations. Everywhere that
electric roads are established they pro-
duce rapid development of both ur-
ban and agricultural resources.
Electric lines should be as common
as telephones, and should unite city
and country in closer union. The
trlley roads Mt displace or rival
the steam roads nor do they take the
place of river traffic, but they supple
ment these, acting as feeders for the
other transportation lines. Lewiston
will be rapidly transformed when it is
