Journal) Many Oregon young women have ambitions when they enter tbe univers ity. There are few, though, who are more determined or who have set their goal higher than Miss Mary A. Smith, a demure freshman from Hood Kiver. She is majored in the department of journalism, but she is also taking a pre-law course. Four years from now when she graduates lrom the university at Eugene with her journalistic-law degree she will enter the University of Oregon law school at Portland, where she intends to complete her law course. But it is not the intention of Miss Smith to practice law. On the con trary, journalism is tu be her life field. Hut it is her purpose to specialize on the legal side of newspaper work. She proposes to be able to write special articles or editorials upon any subject from politics to theoretical law. At present Miss Smith is making a study of the Oregon system in prepara tion to write a paper for one of the New York papers. As a student in journalism she stands at the top of her class, in her pre-law classes, where co-eds are rare, her work is such that the men are fre quently put to Bhame. It was miss bmith a lew days aeo who tripped up a senior member of the Oregon legislature, when he lectured to the members of the newly formed co-ed political club upon the features of the Oregon system. This freshman put a question in the discussion which followed which he could not.answer, and then, what did she do, but deliber ately proceed to explain it herself, somewhat to the chagrin of the law maker, who nearly became speaker of the house at the last session. Allen Eaton, who was the man. tells the story upon himself. He appreci ates the joke, inasmuch as he is the author of a book upon the initiative and referendum. "She asked, 'What do vou think of the safeguards to this system of gov eminent proposed by the state of Maine?' 1 had to tell her that I could not recall the features of that system, and then she started to explain them for me." Miss Smith is a quiet, demure little maiden, quite pretty and very attract ive, but extremely modest about her ambitions. She has been made a mem ber of the Beth Reah sorority and is active in student affairs. She is a member of the Agora club, the co-ed political organization, and is upon the renortorial staff of the college paper. Mr. L.aton, since his discovery that the university women are by no means behind in a knowledge of governmental affairs, is enthusiastic over the interets of the co-eds in these studies. He says: "You can iust bet those are a bricht lot of girls. 1 hat gathering of college women is more intellectual than the average body of men. Their questions were few, but I'll tell you, they were to the point. These girls have an ex cellent organization. If. there is a similar body of men with purposes as serious, I've not seen it. If there is you'll have to show me. I'd like to meet them and talk with them." P. G. DITCH MEETING THIS AFTERNOON It was erroneously stated in the Gla cier last week that the meeting of Pine Grove citizens to consider the bonded district which is to be xoted on by the citizens of the East Side on January 14 would be this evening, ihe meeting is called for this afternoon. Special for Christmas, dressed chick ens at 20 cents a pound.

He almost lost bis eyes in the encounter and his face was terribly lacerated by the talons of the big bird. Herrman was on his daily rounds of the zoo feeding the animals and birds. He entered the eagle's cage with a quantity of meat and was depositing it in the eating trough when the big eagle, which had been sitting on his perch high in the cage, pounced down upon Herrman'a head, fastening its talona in the keeper's scalp and began to beat his head with its ponderous wingg and strike with its sharp beak. Taken at this disadvantage Herrman attempted to shake otf the eagle, but so securely had the bird fastened itself to his head and clothing that he found it impossible. The harder Herman fought the more vicious became the attacks of the bird and the keeper was getting decidedly the worst of the combat. Finally Herrman spied a heavy broom in the bottom of the cage, and grasping this he began to beat the eagle over the back and wings, and after much struggling finally succeeded in landing a blow on the bead of the bird. The blow stunned it and it re laxed its grip and fluttered to the bot tom of the cage, where it appeared t be dead. The citizens of the Belmont district had a most exciting bear hunt week before last. The hunt was not for the bear, for bruin came meekly down from the mountains and got himself caught in a trap set by D. V. Dixon. However, all of the neighbors joined Mr. Dixon in a hunt for a gun to kill the beast after his roars of rage were heard in the vicinity. A rifle was dis covered and'with sixteen or seventeen of the citizens of the district looking on poor bruin paid the penalty of his carelessness. "When I was a boy," says A. J. Vellim, of the Heights, "a number of companions and I were digging out a fox den near my old home in the middle west. The den entered a sloping hill side and after we had dug for about 10 feet, we found that it turned upward, forming a dry sleeping chamber for the animals. After we had dug nearly to the end two old foxes, trying to es cape, jumped out. They were caught by a couple of gamy little terriers that we had with us. Thinking that there were no more animals in the den, we were about to desist from our task, when one of the terriers, having worried one of the old foxes to his heart's content, came back and began to dig in the den. In a mo ment he brought out a hibernating rat tle snake, a prairie dog, two prairie owls and two baby foxes. The owls, snske and prairie dog, however, were in a separate chamber from that inhab ited by the foxes." Fred Stanley, president of the Fisrt National bank, who was here Saturday on business, tells a good story of the hogs that have developed a reputation down around Yaquina. It seems that the orchardista there have not picked their apples this year. The trees are loaded and the swine have been turned in to eat them. When a hog's stomach becomes empty his brain begins to work, and as soon as the fallen apples were cleaned up the pigs began to fig ure out some means of gettingthe fruit on the trees. It wasn't long until a scheme was germinated in the porky brains and was put into effect, and now the hogs may be seen hurling themselves with all their piggy mights against the trunks of the apple trees, shaking down the fruit. Chicken dinner 50 cents at the Hotel Oregon from 11:30 to 2 o'clock Satur day, tf ELABORATE PROGRAMS AT RIVERSIDE CHURCH The Christmas season will be marked with elaborate programs at Riverside church next Sunday.

Friday and Saturday the following reels will be shown: "Strange Story of Elise Mason," a Kalem drama with Miss Alice Joyce in the title role; "Bringing Home the Pup," an Eidson comedy, and "A Heavenly Voice," a Lubin drama. Major Leo is awfully in love with the Widow Smith, but makes no headway until he discovers her passion for music. He hires a young blacksmith, a wonderful singe.r, to serenade the widow, then the major rushes in and gets the thanks. The crucial night (when he intends to propose) arrives and sad, to relate, the blacksmith is not on time. The major waits and finally resolves to depend on past per formances. Presenting himself he is warmly received and in a few minutes is on his knees pleading his suit, when the sweet notes of "O Promise Me," and their friends and everybody has a special invitation to both the preaching service and the Sunday school, which will be an inspiration to all who come. The Lord's Supper will be observed and every member ought to be there for this alone. The subject for discussion in the morning sermon will be of interest to all present and the evening will be strictly of the evangelistic sort. You have an invitation to hear both. You will receive the glad hand of fellow ship. The ladies of the church will hold at the store of J. M. Wood a sale of good things to eat on Tuesday, Dec. 24, and will have for sale nice dressed chickens and Christmas cakes; in fact many things.that will help in the spread of your table on the day of days, Christ mas.
