Sportsmen must not kick too much
on the enforcement of the game law.
Especially is this true of Union ana
Wallowa county sportsmen, for the
strict enforcement, of the game laws
means that the government will short
ly put elk on the reserves of these two
counties. The Observer has Informa-.
tion which seems to be authentic that ;
elk would have been placed here this ,
year but for the lax enforcement of j
the state game laws. i .
This being true it behooves every-j
one who Is a real sportsman at heart !
to aid in bringing about rigid enforce
ment of the' law and thus encourage
the department to fulfill its intention.
i There la nothing that would add more
to our rough hills and rugged moun
tains than to be known all over the

Horse Riding In Ancient Times.
Stirrups were unknown to tbe an

were placed stones to enable tbe horse
men to mount. Stirrups were used to
some eitent In the fifth century, but
were not common even so late as the
twelfth. Horseshoeing Is a very an
clent art It is represented on a coin
of Tarenrum of about 350 B. C. It is
said that William tbe Conqueror

Reptila, the Most Venomous ef
Snsket, Is Death Itself.
The most Tenomous of snakes Is sntd
to be the.Echis carlnata of India. It
Is about eighteen inches long and of a
gray color. The creature is death it
self and carries in Its bead the secret
of destroying life with the concentrat
ed agony of aU tbe poisons.
Tbe Ecbls carlnata is tolerably com
mon in India, being found In nearly
every part of the peninsula.
Fortunately, however, for man, it is
not, like the cobra, a house frequent
ing,.snake. for its aggressive habits
would make it infinitely more fatal to
life than its dreaded relative. .-, .
'- This king of tbe asps does not turn
to escape from man, as the cobra will,
or flash into concealment, like the ko
rlat but keeps tbe path against its
human assailant and. pitting its own
eighteen Inches of length against its
enemy's bulk, challenges and provokes
conflict. , '. , . .
A stroke with a whip will cut it in
two or a clod of earth disable it But
such is its malignity that It will in
vlte attack by every device at its com
mand, staking its own life on the
mere chance of its adversary coming
within the little circle of its power, j .. .
At most the rsdius of this circle .is I ". ,
twelve inches. Within it at any point An '-..anvenlent Plana. .

Holmaa 8ays They Are to the Soul as

One muBt be educated no doubt to
understand the more complex and diffi
cult kinds of musical composition. Go
to the concerts where you know that
the music is good and that you ought
to like It whether you do or not
Take a music bath once or twice a
week for a few seasons and you will
find that it is to the soul what the wa
ter bath is to the body. I wouldn't
trouble myself about tbe affectations
of people who go to this or that series
of concerts chiefly, because It Is fash-,
ionnble. - . '.
.Some of these people whom we think
so silly will perhaps find sooner or
later that they have a dormant facul
ty which is at Inst waking up and
that tbey who came because others
came and began by staring at the au
dience are listening with a newly
found delight ' 7.

Then it attracts attention by rubbing
Its loops together, which, from the
roughness of the scales, make a rus
tling, hlaajng sound, erects its head in
the center and awaits attack. "
It is said that no one, having once
encountered this terrible' reptile, can
ever forget its horrifying aspect when
thus amused, its eagerly aggressive
air, its restless coils, which, in con
stant motion one over tbe other and
rustling ominously all the while,
stealthily but surely bring it nearer
and nearer to the object of its fury.
