LA GRANDE, OREGON
He Is an early riser, getting up about
6:80 In the summer and not later than
8 In the winter. He usually says the
7 o'clock mass, celebrating almost
every day, even when he la at the sea
side In warm weather. After his mass
he spends a short time In thanksgiving
and then goes to breakfast After
ward ho reads his newspapers, and
he never neglects the baseball column,
and then he attenda to his corres
pondence. When this la finished he
gives an hour or two to his literary
work. Notwithstanding his frequent
Interruptions, the cardinal manages to
accomplish a great deal.
Visitors begin dropping In aoon af
ter o'clock. The ecclesiastical busi
ness of the archdeacon Is aomethlng
enormous. There are priests to see
about their affairs, some belonging to
the 'city, others to the country. Sec
ular callers come also In great num
bers, and on some mornings every
parlor In the residence contains three
or four. The cardinal' Is swift and
business-like In his dispatch of affairs
always cordial and smiling, but
showing to the dullest that he has not
much time to spare. He passes from
one parlor to another, dressed In his
dark soutane, and upon his head the
little scarlet skull cap the Iron-gray
hair, the pale, Intellectual face and
the penetrating glance beneath, ..His
eminence seldom forgets any one
whom he .has met although he does
not always remember names. As
soon aa he appears In the doorway
the visitor rises and goea to him, and
If a Catholic, kisses the large ame-
LA GRANDE, ORE,
thyst ring, slightly bending the knee.
This obeisance Is not, as some Prtt
(Blunts Imagine, an act of idolatry,
but merely signifies assent to the car
dinars spiritual authority and obedi
ence to Rome. It is the etiquette, and,
Itke everything else in the Catholic
church, haa come down through the
ages. ' . - , " .
The visitor's business is now relat
ed. The cardinal Is quick of appre
hension, listens courteously, occasion
ally asking questions, and In a few
minutes the matter, whatever It may
be, is nettled, and his eminence pastes
on to the next caller. In this way a
dozen or more persona will be seen In
a very short time, und '. many things
disposed of and difficulties cleared up.
' On a fine morning the cardinal will
sometimes take a walk down ' the
street to the Catholic . book stores,
where he looks over the latest new
books and magazines, and then to the
Mirror office, where he gets such
newupapers as he desires to examine.
He returns home In time for dinner,
which Is served not long after noon,
and a little later he will lie down for
a while, especially if he has had a fa
tiguing morning. At S o'clock visitors
begin to come again, and be, Is kept
busy, In one way or " another, until
toward evening, when he goes out for
his constitutional. This evening walk
Is, a Roman custom followed by nearly
all ecclesiastics. The cardinal Is gen.
era,uy accompanied by some, one
sometimes by a student of the semln
ary. again by a visiting prelate or a
priest- and as he goes through the
crowded street with his black hut
under which his red skull cap barely
shows, and the long frock coat, thous
ands recognize .the beloved man. It
may bo truly said that everybody
knows the cardinal. He Is as gjpat a
favorite with the majority of Protest
ants as with the members of his own
faith. A number of Protestant clergy
men are among his personal friends,
and It Is seldom that any public man
of note visits Baltimore without call
ing at the archeplscopal residence to
pay his respects to the head of the
Catholic church In this country.
Cardinal Gibbons is one of the most
democratic of men plain, unostenta
tious and distinguished for good
sense In everything he does. Although
wise and shrewd, he la free from the
smallest shadow of dissimulation. He
hates double-dealing .In all Its forms.
He Is extremely charitable; and his In
come does not meet the demands upon
It By no manner of means Is he a
rich man, and the public would be
surprised to know how much he Is
obliged to spend In charity. Many
are the things he "pays for out of his
own pocket," as the expression Is, be
cause he cannot refuse, and of which
few know but himself.
A LEARNED MAN.
What is He, When May He Lay Claim
to the Tit !, , . ,
Last evening after the serious work
of the day .was completed, a number
of fairly well read citizens of this
town happened to become Interested
In the question, "When Is a man
learned?" A lot of different opinions
were expressed, but no decision was
reached.
One of the gentlemen present, a
man of unquestioned veracity, told the
following story, after refusing abso
lutely to define the word learned as
applied to a man of attainments. He
saldi
"Several years ago Dr. Suesserot,
president, of the Mercersburg Theolog
ical seminary, the theological school
of the Oorman Reformed church, was
noted as the best Greek scholar In
the United States. He was noted
also, among his neighbors, as s man
entirely without that saving quality
known as 'horso sense.' One day,
while a neighbor was walking about
the place and talking to the doctor,
It became time to feed a couple of
pigs which were being fattened by the
college man In anticipation of killing
time, soon to arrive. When' they got
to the pen where the pigs were kept
the neighbor noticed that the animals
were grown to large that the pen was
too small and the pigs were uncom
fortably crowded. He remarked about
this and was asked by the doctor as
to what he could do. Why,' said the
neighbor, 'trade them for smaller pigs.
I've got a couple that I'll let you have
tor them.' .The trade Was made, and
the noted scholar saw his pigs carried
away and smaller ones left In their
places, with perfect eqnanlmtty."
When Is a man learned?

Jay Brooks Rides Over the Valley-
; SurpriKcd at Crop Prosiiocls. j
Jay Brooks, who wrs formerly one
of the leading merchants of this city,
and county, and who now owns ex-
tensive Interests In the county, has
driven over the valley on a tour of I
Inspection. He was more than pleased
with crop conditions. He stated that
prior to coming he had formed the
opinion that crops In Grande ,Ronde
valley were going to be extremely
short. Why, said Mr. Brooks, If the
Sacramento valley In California, had
such good crops as I saw growing
everywhere In this . valley yesterday,
thej would consider themselves for
tunate. Mr. Brooks expects to return to his
home at Santa Rosa tomorrow eve
