Herman Bernstein, who recently
pleaded guilty to the charge of bur
glary In the third degree, to the
state reformatory at st. Cloud next
Monday. In a talk with a Free Press
representative late yesterday after
noon, Bernstein persisted in his denial
that either he or his companion, Ju-
Illus Jankowiskis, stole the rifle from
the dwelling of William Atchison In
Medo. This denial is indeed remark
able in view of the fact that jan
kowiskls the other day confessed to
the theft of the gun and told where
the two had hidden II In hay stack
and II was later found I'm that very
place. Bernstein remarked yesterday
that Those farmers want to make
out that we stole the gun, too. so
, they can keep us I'm prison longer"
Bernstein declared yesterday that
he and Jankowiskis were driven by
hunger to the theft that they COM
mitted at the Atchison home. He de-
clared that for four days all that he
had eaten consisted of two sand
witches and Jankowiskis had not even
had that much. He said he himself
was sick. and Jankowiskis. being the

John Austin Hooper, the bandit
who escaped from the Josephine
county Jail a short time ago, was GER
tainly born humorist, and was ex-
tremely nervy, if the following story
is at all true. Sheriff Smith of Grants
Pass says that Hooper is the coolest

E. Kroh, whose automobile Hooper
commandeered, was impressed with
the GOODNESS of the bandit. Kroh
gives this story:
my daughter was sitting in the
automobile when Hooper came along
in buggy. After passing few re-
marks about the speed one can enjoy
riding behind twenty-year-old horse
he commanded the driver to stop,
stating that he had several miles to
go and that he wanted to make the
trip as quickly as possible. He asked

DANGEROUS NitroaIyosrin.

Nltroglycerin is a fearfully danger

only 100 degrees-that is, very little
more than the warmth of the human

Tons Of nltroglycerin are turned out
every day, for 1t is the explosive from
which guncOtton is made. But all the
mixing vats are artificially cooled by
coils Of cold water pipes.
The cleaner nitroglycerin is made
the less the danger. Consequently 1t

day, a fash Of lightning, striking

lassiaes Versus Reason.

TAere has been current In England
es receSs years q reaction against rea-
ssn. an avcwed worship Of instinct
aaa tr3dstiea and even prejudice. The
dectrsaes q this reaction are In them
selves fascinating. and they have been
preached by fascinating writers. The
way ot instinct and old habit is so full
OF ease 50 faeile and strong and un-
troubled! Look at the faces Of men
who are wrapped up in some natural
and instructive purpose. Look at a dog
chasing his prey, lover pursuing his
beloved, band Of vigorous men ad.
vancing to battle, a crowd of friends
drinking and laughing. That shows
us, say the writers aforesaid, what life
can be and what 1t ought to be. "Let
US not think and question:" they say.
LET US be healthy and direct, not fret
against the main current Of instructive
feeling and tradition"
In matters Of art such a habit Of
mind may be valuable. In matters of
truth or Of conduct 1t is, l believe, as
disastrous as 1t is alluring. - Gilbert
Murray in Atlantic.

Hooper told Sheriff Smith that
twenty minutes after he had robbed

he would steal from people who we're

Mail Route
AlongsRogue

Forest Supervisor Macduff of the
Siskiyou national forest. and w. H.
May, trail foreman, left Grants Pass
Thursday for lower Rogue river,
where the forest service, in co-opera-
tion with Curry county, is construct
ing new mail trail on the mail route
between West Fork and Gold Beach,
Oregon, says the Grants Pass Courier.
This trail will be constructed on a
water grade with a solid tread four
feet wide around the points locally
known as the DEVILS Stairs and
DEVILS Backbone, and is largely in
solid rock. This part of Rogue River
canyon presents scenery which rivals
any to be found in the west. Box
canyons, towering precipices, cut by
sparkling waterfalls, in streams
where game fish are plentiful, sur
round on all sides. The old trails
over these cliffs have heretofore pre-
vented full appreciation of the
grandeur of this scenery and the
splendid fishing and hunting grounds
for the reason that they are narrow,
rough and steep, and even dangerous.
Many incidents are related of pack
animals rolling over the trail and
landing unhurt by some miracle hun
dreds Of feet below. In one instance
a traveller in passing outside a pack
animal was kicked off the trail-be-
ing saved by small bush one hun
dred feet below, which gave way just
as he caught the rope and was drawn
up to safety. The new trail will elm
mate these dangers and will make
the region much more accessible to
the sportsman.

Let Them Hunt For Il.

A minister In a local church known
for his absent mlndedness by the mem
bers of his own family, but not to his
congregation, saved himself from com
plete exposure at a recent service by
his quick wit. r
He had studied his sermon carefully,
but had neglected to make any nota-
tions Of the number Of the chapter and
verse from which the text was taken.
In the pulpit he announced the text
and then stopped short while the con-
gregation waited to hear from what
place In the Bible 1t was taken.
As he noticed absence of notes to this
fact he quickly announced, I'm going
to give you week to find from what
chapter and verse this phrase was
taken" So was exposure averted.-

Destroying Guns.

It may be necessary to destroy guns
to prevent them falling into the hands
Of the enemy, OF to make captured
guns useless. II a small amount Of
dynamite or other explosive Is avail
able, of course this can be done very
effectively. II not the breech of the
gun Is closed and the hinge joints
smashed as much as possible with a
handspike or pick. If there Is time a
few rife shots fired at the vital points
Of the gun effectively jam the mechan-
ism so as to make 1t useless. With
rifles, the butts are broken of and the
barrels destroyed as much as possible.
To do this the rifles are well heated
over fire and smashed up with heavy
hammers. Ammunition is destroyed
by placing It In a deep pit and setting
1t on fire. Telegraph wires are cut up
into small pieces and the poles cut
down and broken up. - London Ex-

Beetles Poster
Western Cities

Western cities are having a great
fight to keep down the BEETLES that
have so suddenly developed. In the
city park there are millions of small
bugs, which Mr.. Miller, entomologist
in charge of the local station of the
U. S. Bureau OF Entomology, says are
undoubtedly the larvae of the alder
beetle, and very similar to the elm
beetle. They seem to only be under
and on the alder trees, but where
they are they are in unlimited quanti-
ties, and they are rapidly consuming
the leaves of the trees in the park.
Mr.. Miller has sent in sample copies
of the little pests to the bureau at
Washington, and he will soon receive
report telling their exact name,
with the method of their extermina-
ton.
This beetle that has attacked our
alder trees in the park must be the
same that they are contending with
in Portland. There, however, the
beetles infest the elm trees.
Thursdays Oregonian gives the
following account of the pests and
the method of treatment they are en-
ploying there:
with powerful gasoline pump
and modern sprayers, the city yester-
day started its cruside against the
elmleaf beetle that is reported to be
threatening the destruction of all
elm trees in the city. With a strong
solution of arsenate of lead the city
spray gang bathed the beetles on
about 200 trees on Broadway between
Union avenue and East Fifteenth
street.
"The work will be kept up indefi-
nitely in the efforts of the city to
eradicate the pest which, it is report
ed, will destroy every elm tree in the
city within two years if unchecked |
"The crew spraying the trees with |
arsenate of lead will be followed by |
a second crew spraying with kerosene
emulsion.
"The spraying outfit consists of a
gasoline pump mounted on a wagon
drawn about by horses, and hand
sprayers capable of throwing a spray
45 feet into the air. Two men are
operating the outfit under the direc-
ton of Park Superintendent Convill.
"The elmleaf beetle, which is a
European pest and one bothersome
for about rs years in various parts
Of the east, has attacked elm trees on
Bancroft avenue on the West Side
and in Laurelhurst and Irvington dis
tricts on the East Side The beetle,
which is about half inch in width,
leeds on the elm leaves. Some trees,
t is said, already have been killed,
but the majority can be saved. |:
at is the plan to keep after the in .
'ects with the spraying outfit until
hey are entirely eradicated. Just
low long this will take is uncertain.

'est were concluded only a few days

The Word Bible.

The word Bible is derived from the
Latin name Biblia, which was treated
as singular, although 1t comes from
the Greek neuter plural meaning little
books" This Greek dininutive was
derived from byblus, or papyrus, the
famous material on which ancient
books were written. The title "Bible"
was first used about the middle of the
second Christian century in the SO call
ed second epistle of Clement, xiv, 2.
