Among the 250 guests in attendance, many came from out of town. ; Union sent over the biggest delegation but North Powder, Wallowa county points and Union county cities in general sent several delegates to tne dedication. Music centering around violin selections by Miss Young's violin students was in terspersed throughout the evening. In the spacious dining room, delicious re freshments were served at the close of the lodge festivities. E.

Abe Eaton of 'Union, and Rev. Adams of La Grande were the principal speakers. Soul-Mate of the Flower. In Paris dwells a man interested in rare and exotic plants, says the Christian Herald. A friend who had been in the "Amazon brought him home a rare tree. In the winter he keeps it in the hothouse, but when summer comes he carries it into 'the garden. So beautiful is the bloom that he gave garden parties that men might behold the wonderful flower, One summer's day he noticed a very strange thing thatset his pulses throb binga singular fruit had begun to set. Sending for an expert they took counsel together. They knew that that this was. the only tree of its kind in Paris, and they could not un derstand from whence had come the pollen that had fertilized the plant At length they published the story in papers, and that story brought the ex planation. A merchant wrote that years before he had brought to Mar seilles a young plant from the Ama zon. The pollen of that tree nearly 400 miles away, had been carried on the wings of the wind over hill and vale and found out the blossom that awaited its coming. . , , ,' -,; m GRIPPED BY A LION Livingstone's Fearful Ordeal and His Narrow Escape.

But tbe story must 'be unfamiliar to muuy persous wbo have never - read Dr. Livingstone's books. Tbe adventure occurred while he was living among tbe Bakatlas. not far from the present town of Mufe king. This account, is from bis own narrative: : ' . : ' Tbe people of Mabotsa were trou bied by Hons, wbicb leaped into tbe cattle pens by niglit and destroyed tbeir milk and draft animals. , Tbey even attacked tbe herds boldly by day light, and although several expeditions aguinst tbe wild beasts were planned tbe people had not tbe courage to car ry them through successfully. - - It Is well known that if one In a troop of lions Is killed' the others leave that part of tbe country: I therefore went out wltb tbe people to help tbem destroy one of tbe marauders. We found the animals on a small bill cov ered with trees. . The men formed round It in a circle and gradually closed up. Being below on tbe plain with a native schoolmaster named Ma balwe, I saw one of tbe lions sitting on s piece of rock. Mabalwe Bred at him, and tho ball bit tbe rook. The liun bit at tbe spot as a dog does at a stick of stone thrown at bim, and then leaping away, broke through tbe cir cle and escaped. Tbe Bakatlas ought to have speared bim in bis attempt to get out, but they were afraid. When tbe circle was reformed we saw two Other Hons In it; but dared not Ore lest we should shoot some of tbe people. The beasts burst through tiie line, and as it was evident the men could not face tbeir foes we turned back toward the village. Id going round the end of the hill I saw a lion sitting on a piece of rock. about thirty yards off, with Uttle bush in front of him, I took good aim at him through tbe busb and fired both oarreis. Tbe men called out "Be Is shot he Is shot!" Others cried. "Let us go to Mmr I saw tbe lion's tail erect In anger and said. "Stop a Uttle till I load again!"
