STATE SHOOT

LA GRANDE CLUB MAKES
QUEST OF HEAD VEX.
BE.
REFUSED TO LAUGH;
A Joks on Himsalf That Mark Twain
. Failed to Enjoy.
When Mark Twain was a resident
of Hartford. Conn., be once called at
the odice of Dr. Swuo, a local special-
match baa worked towards anything 1st of considerable repute, to consult
ut tbe best results, and If the fans , blm regarding a trivial ailment
dont want) the wrestling game to Tbe physician was' inclined to be
eontlnue here, be will take on people niheT arbitrary In bls chargea. was
at outside points. Rumblings of fake j dependent and disliked exceed
, , . ... ,7 ,n8'y to be consulted In regard to mi-
were circulated after the bout wlU Dor ailments. In this . Instance be
Jlarman; though none were hurled named a fee for bis services that tbe
at Warner; but the "fake" yarns tanv' economically minded Clemens thought
ome to the wrestler's ears and rath-' excessive.
Anti-postponement Clause Would
Create Great Handicap.
Prompt acceptance by tbe . La
Grande Gun Club of the general plans
for She formation of a state bluerock
league, baa led other cities in the,
state to get in line too, and these in
dications point to completed arrange
ments at the end of the present
mouth. In facb tbe shoots were to
be started late In February.
One point which tbe La Grande
shooters obect to, and which Presi
dent PreBS Lewis has written to the
powers that be about. Is the rule that
prevents a club from postpolng
hoot on account of bad weather.
February and In March for 'that
matter galea frequently blMtand
storma rage In such feroolous man
ner that a bluerock shoot would be
a farce. Tbe rules of the leaiue pro.
vldo that bad weather shall tot be
grounds for postponement) but ;
Eastern Oregon the' men who are pro-
noting It will find it la almost tmposs
ible to hold shoots on real stormy
days such as these two months might
develop. In the Willamette no sue
handicaps exist. No answer has been
received from tbe letter.

Is willing to take O'Connell, or any
one else, on elsewhere. Tbe exact
location of tbe bout will be' determln

If all public betting could be stop
jed, the Immensely entertaining
sport of wrestling should go on for-,
ever, If material held out. Regard
less ofwhetber or not the last matcb
After a little argumeut Mr. Clemens
declared that he would not pay any
such price as the physician asked, and
rose to leave. Just as be turned bis
back on Dr. Swan a voice said dls
tlnctly:
"Go along borne, you old fool, you!"
Instantly Mark Twain wheeled
around, angry through and through.
"What's thnt. sir?" be roared a: tbe
doctor. "What's thut you suy?"
I vwtn a smile that was cloying In Its
sweetness Dr. Swan poluted to a cage

got weir mcneya worm ana u no one i the corner where bis parrot was

would have made no material differ gle-e, and explained:

wrestling matches someone has tc

the sooner the game and .Its expon
tnts, though ever so honest them
elves, got Into disrepute.
A HINDU IDOL "
X Strange History Caussd Mm. Csr-
not to Order It Destroyed.
Wbuu Mine. Carnot, widow of Sadl
Caruot. died and her wlil was read a
clause in It caused considerable com
stent. This waa to tbe effect that a
certain small Hindu idol curved from
a bard stoue which would be found
among ber property must be tukeo out
tnd '-rushed uutil completely destroyed.
Many marveled at this apparently sin
gular request for the Idol seemed a
harmless, ugly little thing, but ber in
structions were curried out to tbe let
ter. Tbe Idol bud lievu presented to Sad!
Carnot years before be bud ever
thought of the presidency of France by
t friend who bad brought it from In
dia. Later be learned that there was
a legend attached to It which asserted
that whosoever would retain It In bis
totwessiou would ri.se to the fullest
height of (Miner In his chosen profes
sion, but die of a stub wound wbeu at
the senltb of bis career.
M. Carnot traced the history of the
klol and found that for 500 years the
rulers wbo bad possessed it had all
died either In buttle or by assassination
from stab wounds. Yet be laughed at
baveas a rule, one pair of wings and
1 rudimentary remnants of another pair

either side of the thorax behind tbe
wings. These organs are called "bal
ancers" and. as experiments have
shown, are Indispensable In tbe main
tenance of equilibrium.
A fly from whlcb they have been re
moved cannot direct its flight, and It
it tries to fly from tbe edge of a table

In getting on Its feet again It will rise
In the air two or three Inches and then
agnlu tumble, striking Its bead and
turning over on Its back as before, but
only about four Inches from Its start

flight becomes absolutely Impossible.
The similarity between these artifi
cially produced Insect mishaps and
