MERE MAN SPEAKER
STUJIPED BY CO-ED
(From Portland, Oregon. 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.

Charles Herrman, a zoo keeper at
the Washington park in Portland, had a
thrilling battle with a mammoh Golden
eagle there last week. 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.

Today's program at the Gem con
sists of a three reel special, "The

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

and Christmas cakes; in fact many
things.that will help in the spread of
your table on the day of days, Christ
mas. Come early in the afternoon and
have your choice. Remember the date
ai)d place. Wood's store, Dec. 24, 1
o'clock.
