' ' - A JOKE OX THE PARSOX. i $ .t- '$ 3 $ S ? i ? 3 'J1 One of the local pastors of ' La Grande had a real Joke unintentional ly perpetrated on him olio day recent ly during tho coldest sped. A shiver ing, scantily dressed limn went to his back door and asked for a piece of bread and butter. "Really," said the pastor, "th folks are gone down town and besides, din ner Is over nnd I doubt If 1 could Hud j ou 'anything." "Thank you," said the fellow, who j at the same time did not. look as If ho quite uienut it. He started away; j but ho looked so cold, the parson thought .he might possibly find some- j thing 'for him and he called him back j alter ho bad gotten outside the gate. lie iouuu a piece pi nrcau on wnicn no put some hard lumps of butter; then he discovered a piece of cold meat which- the , ninii devoured even to ehowlng tho soft ends of the bones. Having eaten eagerly every crumb and drunk the bit of tea hastily made ho started to go. The parson then thought tluit possibly few ever spoke to him kindly about his Inner life nnd r sayeri to say as he shook his hand warmly: "The good Lord, loves yon more than l.can, and I am sure that If you will serve Him and let Him have a chance He will give you better care and food than I have done." Sure, and I hope so,' said the guest. The parson wag so dull he did not see the humor of the remark till the door was closed Then, with the house all to himself he had a roaring laugh at the Joke on titmsclf, nnd one per haps all unconscious to the Intent of the Hibernian lad.

Entrance, University of Oregon, Eugene, Or, Jan. 22. -(Special) Dr. Joseph Scha fer, J professor of history at tho Uni versity of Oregon, In an address en titled, "Who Should Go to College and Why," at the assembly hour last Wed nesday, vigorously denounced the present system of matriculating stu dents In vogue in American universi ties, and maintained that college en trance requirements should be based upon Intelligence and ability, proven by tests In conversation and exami nations, rather than upon the presen sentatlon of a high school diploma. Dr. Schafer maintains that It Ts a prevalent fallacy that high school ed ucation Is a foundation for college work. Intelligence and ability to profit by a college should be the standard. Too many high school stu dents are pushed through to college without adequate competency, says Dr. Schafer This Is the reason for so many failures amongst college gradu ates. The certificates system of en trance is not a fair test; It is too easy for those who have been carried along from grade to grade. Dr. Scha fer believes tfcat a system of Indi vidual questioning would be more just and profitable. The Reason. "That lawyer used to be a milk man."

An English sparrow tlew into the fly ing cage in the zoo aud began helping itself to the cracked corn thrown upon the ground by the keeper. A Brazilian stork quietly approached and shot out its six inch red .beak aud caught the sparrow. Going to the fountain, the big bird dipped the little one iu the wa ter and then swallowed it and looked about for more. "Oh, you cannibal! Vou ought to get a beating!" exclaimed a woman vis itor. "The sparrow ought to know better thnn to go in there." explained the keeper. "The storlc has beeu eating half a dozen of these birds a week since he came here. The English spar row has a quick eye and is quick on the wing and is seldom caught by prowling cats., but doesn't suspect any thing with feathers on. The big bird Is getting fat on u spurrow diet."
