The "Frisco Call" says: 'The enter
tainment by the Schubert Symphony
Club and Lady Quartette at the Y. M. ,
C. A.' last night was a most enjoyable
affair, and tbe audience testified their .
appreciation of the igood things In the ,
program by frequent demands for a
repetition." I
Special attention Is given to tbel
encores by the Scliuberts, and al
though their program Is an extensive
one, it rarely represents one-hnlf of
the work performed by this , favorite '
company each evening. You will like
them Just aa well as Frisco did, so do
not fall to boar them at the opera

Wid Apart.
It Is told us tbat two old schoolmate
met recently. It bad been fifteen years
since tbeir last meeting, but tbe recog
nition was mutual. One was sleek,
well fed. well shaven, well dressed.
Tbe other was rather thin, rather
seedy.
"Well, well." exclaimed tbe prosper
ous one; "wbat are you doing now?"
"1 am an actor "
"Indeed? Well. I'm a banker. And
yon are on the stage? Dear me! It's
been ten years Hlnce I was in a thea
ter." "You've got nothing on me. It's been
longer than that since I was in a
bank."
Then they parted, each thinking a bit
less of the other than be bad thought
before tbe meeting. Cleveland Plain

The Greek Figure.
Greek figures of men appear taller
and more graceful than those of mod
ems. Modern artists make the upright
figure seven and oiie-hnlf times tlie
length of the head. The Greeks made
it eight times, lengthening the shin
and the longer sweep from knee to beel
gave the figure increased grace and
dignity. The sauu- plan was frequent
ly adopted by Lord Lelghtou, In whose
paintings the same effect Is obtained.

Y. M. C. A. IV'ewg of Current In

rection of J. II. Sudd, Gener
al Secretary.
The Y. M. C. A. Is becoming more
and more every day a topic of gen
eral conversation In La Grande. It Is
most gratifying to note the increased
Interest shown for this Instltuton. Ev
ery effort Is being made to make the
best use of our altogether inadequate
equipment both "In the gymnasium and
In the reading room. That the Y. M.
C. A. Is one of La Grande's permanent
public Institutions seems at last to be
an established fact.
Tlie Gymnasium.
The gymnasium Is increasing in
popularity under, the direction of Ed
Warner as physcal director. However
the people of La Grande should ap
preciate the fact that having Mr.
Warner means added expense and that
a large membership is necessary. The
equipment is of course not such as
should be placed in our new building
but Is of sufficient general nature to
supply the present demand. To off
set the drawback the membership fee
Is made low enough for every pocket-
book. Men sixteen years and over
are given full privileges In night clas
ses and business men's class until
May 1st for only $2.S0. The boys'
for $1.50 have the same length of
membership. Drop in at the gym on
Monday or Wednesday at 4 p. m. and
see the smaller boys at work. You
will enjoy It.
The Office.
The Y. M. C. A. ofllce on Depot
street Is being recognized by many
voting men as a place where they are
always welcome, a home
Each day

Jboya at the Y. V. C. A. Men have

been found positions, men have been
found places to live in good honies,
men have spent their spare time In a

Men's JHeeUiifs.
Tho big sing and men's meeting la
now a part of the Association's week
ly program. Last Sunday R. Knowles
gave a most interesting talk.
Sunday Dr. H. L. Underwood will
speak, using as his subject, "The Mea
sure of a Man." Come to the Y. M.
C..A. on Sunday afternoon at 3:30
and spend a pleasant hour with other
men.
Scouts.
Under a new system Hie Scout work
Is becoming very attractive to boys
of Scout age. Every Friday evening
six men have charge of Instrtu
In the various phases of the Scout
activities. These men have all been
carefully selected because of their
character and of their gpoclal fitness
for the work over which they have
direction. Any boy who becomes a
first class Scout will have to 1
many things.
The Triangle Club.
A reorganization of the Triangle
club has been effocted. Many activities
are being -planned, The biggest of
these Is the boosting for' a Y. 11. C.
A. building in La Grande. Through
the service of members In the club
the Y. M. C. A. building Is to be open
to the' men for reading, games, music
and visiting on every night during
the week, except Sunday. All men
are always welcome. Drop In some
evening and bring your friends.
