One night last week quite a discus
sion between three Portland concert
goers of the male persuasion arose over
the question of visiting singers being
assisted at concerts by piano accom
panists atao playing piano solos. One
man thought that he did not care to
hear one artist sing all through the
evening, that such an effort is weari
some, even If the singer were the
Angel Gabriel himself, and that he
liked a diversified programme. "I do
not have Portland in mind In making
thla statement." argued his opponent.
"but I think that too many concerts of
visiting artists are spoiled by mere
piano accompanists posing also as
piano soloists. You say, we applaud
much. We do. because we do not wish
to hurt their feelings. We give them
kindly welcome as strangers In our
city. I prefer a concert by the arti.st
himself or herself. If it is necessary to
wait say five or ten minutes to give
the artist a breathing spell, wait, I :
, say." "I would yawn myself to sleep,"
confessed the other man.

Constable Frank Kratke were indicted
this morning by the Denver County
grand Jury on felony charges. Secre
tary Pearce recently declined to permit
representatives from State Auditor
Kenehan's office to examine the Secre
tary's accounts, and it Is supposed the
indictment grew out of this contro
versy. Hoppe and Cutler Matched.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7 Arrange
ments have been completed for holding
the championship billiard match, which
is pending between Willie Hoppe and
Albert Cutler, In this city, some time
next month. Burton Mank, Hoppe's
manager, has left for New York to
complete the details incidental to the
match.
ashamed of the work, though I am
none too proud of my name. It'a too
odd Smith."
A Point That Should Appeal
To the public is the fact that all work
done in our offices is done by expert
and at a price commensurate with work
of the very highest quality. We can
therefore afford to guarantee our work
for life and make good the guarantee
in the event it proves defective (which
isn't likely). We are not Infallible, yet
we make very few errors. The dentist
who does cheap work cannot do it
twice for one price, and it's a cinch
that most cheap work win nave to Da
done twice. Thrice and then some.
Alveolar
Teeth -Where Bridgework la
Impossible.
If only your front teeth are left, say
three or four or more, we can replace
all those that have been lost on both
sides clear back with perfect Alveolar
teeth, whilst bridgework would be im
possible even If you had eight or ten
front teeth to tie to. If you have only
two back teeth on each side, say mo
lars, we can supply all the front teeth
that are missing with beautiful, serv
iceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth. Thla
could not possibly be done by the
bridge route. Suppose jou have lost
your last (back) teeth, two or more
upper or lower on either side. We can
replace them with Alveolar teeth. The
bridge specialist would have to advise
a partial plate, which would encumber
the mouth as well as to help to de
stroy your other teeth. Where you have
lost a few teeth there are dentists who
would extract all the reet to make
room for a plate. (Where people have
no teeth we make plates, too. And
when we do they look like they grew
there. They are scientifically and artis
tically built for service and comfort as
well as beauty.) Even where bridge
work is possible, there Is no comparison
between the two. A very large per
centage of our work Is taking out
bridgework put In by supposedly high
class dentists and replacing it with
the beautiful and artistic Alveolar
Teeth. And. unlike bridgework In an
other respect. It is practically painless.
No boring or cutting into the gums,
nothing to be dreaded. Now, then,
prices oeing equal, which would you
choose?
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up by other dentists as In
curable, ia another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, but we can do any
thing that is possible in dentistry, and
what we do Is always of the very high
est class. Our booklets. Alveolar Den
tistry, are free. Write for one if you
cannot call. We have samples of our
work to ehow at all times. ;
