The text of an earnest sermon, last
| Sunday morning, by Clarence }. Kearny,
was Eccl. 1871. His remarks were, in
part, as follows: Solomon penned these
words in his old age, and knew what he
was talking about. He had wandered
from the Lord, whom he once knew.
Neither riches, wisdom nor lust gave the
satisfaction lie sought. PIiable youth is
the time to seek Christ, to be kept from
misspent life. Satan sets snares for
every young person; 'choose you this
day whom ye will serve" Innocent,
pure, holy CHILDHOOD is a model of the
kingdom. The Christ-led life is success

Methods of Elephants In Crossing
River With Steep Banks.

Methods OF Elephants In Crossing
River With Steep Banks.
| 1t is u great sight to see line
OF elephants crossing river with
steep banks. They go down slowly,
striking the ground with their
trunks before each step and never
making a slip or miss, although
you feel every minute as if they
were going to take header into the
water Then they wade or swim,
as the case may be, and they swim
beautifully, not hesitating to cross
half a mile of deep water if need be.
] must say, however, that the
sensation of sitting on the back of
a swimming elephant is the reverse
of pleasant You fancy yourself on
an enormous barrel which may roll
round at any moment and take you
under. Besides that, elephants swim
SO low in the water that you are
sure of a wetting, which in India
means an excellent chance of fever.
Having crossed the stream, they
must climb to the top of the bank,
and this is the most peculiar opera
ton of all Down on their knees
they go and with trunk and tusks
dig out a foothold for themselves
and so step by step work their way
to the top, their position being
sometimes like that of a fly climb
ing up wall. AS they reach the
top they give lurch sideways and
shoot one leg straight over the
bank, then give a lurch to the other
side and shoot out the other leg in
the same way, which brings them
into the position of boy hanging
by his arms from the edge of a roof
Then they come to their knees and
finally, with great scrambling and
kicking of their hind legs, bring
themselves to level ground again.
In spite of these perilous ascents
and descents l never knew an ele-
plant to miss his foothold, al
though there was case where one
Of the herd got stuck in the mud
and sank gradually deeper and deep
er until only his head and part of
his back could be seen. The rajah
ordered ten other elephants to be
brought up, and they were hitched
to the unfortunate animal and by
pulling together at the given word
brought their believing comrade
out Of the mud with a plomp like

Showing i'm Final Practice Before Big
Game Is Decentralization
Leaves Friday

Coach Kienholzs second team,
playing as Oregon" and running off
Oregon offensive plays as we'll as
using Coach Bezdek's defensive style
of play, Wednesday evening held
Coach Bender's first squad to Il
to II tie score. The showing of the
first team was woefully weak at
times. due, undoubtedly, to the poor
physical condition of the line men.
Tyrer. end, was out of the game with
a bad case of water on the knee,
while Alvord and Applequist, tackles,
were suffering from a sprined ankle
and charleyhorse, respectively. Both
the second team touchdowns were
the result of intercepted forward
passes, and the first team backfield
showed a disposition to tumble at
critical moments.
Coach Bender was considerably
discouraged after the scrimmage'
which is the last before the team
