An Awkward Position.
One of Sam Elmore's fishermen at
Tillamook got excited the other day
when he heard that fish were four
cents a pound on the Columbia, and
started for Astoria. He came the
beach around, for if one times it right
he can avoid a serious climb by slip
ping along the shore between tides.
Coming along in light marching or
der just under the high jutting rock
that corners into the sea by False Til
lamook, he smashed into the water
knee deep and came plump on a bear
that was feasting on a calf that Lad
fallen from the perpendicular cliff
above. The man looked at the bear
square in front of him; the straight
up and down wall of rock on the
right; the surging ocean on the left,
and his hair raised in fright Fortu
nately Bruin was gorged and good
natured and waddled off after a few
growls at having been disturbed, to
the great relief of the narrator, who
had no weapon about him except a
small stick, and who says that he now
knows what it is to be between the
devil and the deep sea with a big
black bear in front of him.
With a Sworn Affidavit.
An old hunter down on the Scap
poose . has an old and trusty gun
which in hi3 hands never misses.
The other day a young man from the
city went down there and borrowed
this gun to go out shooting. He
missed several rather fair shots at
grouse end finally the gun got mad
and when he missed another grouse
the gun sprang ont of his hands over
a windfall and fired the second barrel
itself, and brought down the bird.
It then leaned up against a tree and
smoked till the young man had re
covered from his surprise, when he
carried it home at arm's length. He
says 'that he was afraid that if he
missed another bird the gun would
turn and shoot him. Oregonian.

How Character Is Portrayed by the Dif
ferent Styles.
Did you ever observe, asks the St. Paul
Olobc, that a man's disposition can bo
read by the style of hat he wears and the
way ho wears it? Not so with a woman.
There is more diversity of stylo in wo
men's hats than men's. But a woman
always wears her hat according to tho
way she has her hair fixed up. So that a
woman's hat can bo no index to female
character. ,
It is different with men. There is a
close intimacy between the styles of men's
headgear and tho science of phrenology.
The hat is tho bump which infallibly
denotes the most prominent trait of
character. When a man buys a hat he is
governed in tho selection by tho peculiar
organism of the brain. It doesn't make
any difference whether the particular hat
he selects is becoming to him or not, he
prefers it because he is built that way.
If he-wears an umbecoming hat ho is not
responsible for it. A man never looks in
a mirror when he tries a hat on. A wo
man always does. .
Tho tall silk hat denotes financial
ability. Bankers, hotel clerks and news
reporters always wear silk hats. Bich
men do not always wear silk hats, nor are
men who wear silk hats always rich.
Still, the silk hat is an unerring sign of
capacity for handling finances success
fully. It isn't every man who possesses
financial ability that gets rich, nor is it
every man who gets rich that possesses
skill in financiering. Not by a jug full.
We state this that the public mind may
not get confused on these points.
The derby hat denotes enorgy. A man
who wears a derby always has the appear
ance of being on the go. It is a ready-for-all-occasions
hat. It is nt homo
whether at church or on tho base-ball
grounds. Tho derby is a nobby little
cross between the silk and tho slouch.
It is an accommodating hat. Tho clergy
man looks well in it, and it fits tho bar
tender to a "t." And all tho time it has
a pushing go-aheaditiveness in its ap
pearance that makes everything side
switch when the derby passes by.
And then there is tho slouch hat. Ah,
there is the hat of liberty for you. The
slouch hat is the original old commoner.
It is the hat for the masses democratic
in style and republican in its simplicity.
There is nothing that symbolizes pure,
unadulterated Americanism so well as
tho slouch hat. Tho slouch hat denotes
sociability. It is the unfailing index of
genial temperament. It means that the
wearer is a good fellow that will do to tio
to. He may be a bank president or ho
may bo a cowboy, still you can rely on
his being a halo companion wherever you
meet him, possessing sturdy independ
ence of character, and always ready to
extond a helping hand wherever it is
needed.
The man who wears his hat perpen
dicularly, whether it is a tile, a derby, or
a slouch, has tho bump of self-esteem
well developed. He thinks that ho is the
upper crust of the pie and is entitled to
recognition. The man who wears his hat
down over the forehead is a thoughtful
man. Ho is studious and communes with
himself a great deal and is sometimes in
olined to moroscness.
Bat the man who wears his hat on the
back of his head is tho one who doesn't
care whether school keeps or not. He is
independent and self-reliant, and one
day is with him as another. Ho takes
notes of neither time nor individuals.
Ho is usually popular because he is al
ways generous. Sailors, and soldiers,
and jockeys and base-ball players aro not
included in this classification because
they always wear caps.
What Am I to Do?
The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious manjs seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for li
quids but none for solids of a morn
ing. His tougne will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is uot white
and furred, it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may al
ternate. There are often Hemor
rhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or flatulence and tender
ness in the pit of the stomach. To
correct all this, if not effect a cure,
try Qreen's August Flower; it costs
but a trifle, and thousands attest its
efficacy.
Likely to Prove a Dead Letter.
A law was recently passed bv the
Ohio legislature declaring that the
husband was the head of the familv.
Until that act is signed by nil the
women it will be inoperative, and
even then it is likely to prove a dead
letter.
Unnecessary 3! her y.
Probably as much misery comes
from habitual constipation as from
nny derangement of the functions of
tho body, and it is difficult to cure, for
the reason that no one Hues to take
the medicines usually prescribad.
HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to
obviate this difficulty, and'they will
be found pleasant to the taste of wo
