Mrs. Dierke is such an admired concert artiste that she ought more often to play piano solos in public. There is always a kind and expectant audience awaiting her whenever she cares to play.

Mrs. Hathaway sang in the Westminster Presbyterian Church quartet for five years, one year in First Presbyterian Church quar tet, and Is singing her second season in the First Unitarian Church quartet. No one has as yet been selected to fill her place. Mrs. Hathaway is one of Portland's most admired church choir sopranos. Her voice is remarkable for its sweetness and lovely quality. a In Bunnyside Methodist Episcipal Church last Sunday night there was a large and appreciative audience present to hear the patriotic concei t presented under the direction of Jasper Dean Mac Fall. One of the most interesting numbers rendered was "Keep the Home Fires Burning, when the solo part was sung delightfully by a 9-year-old boy, Marion Black, in costume, representing Uncle Sam. The G.

As to the rocks, there were nice lit tle chicken-feed sized pebbles, medium sized common brown stones of tho brook, such as Goliath knew to his sor row, and one huge, overgrown, though doubtless tasty boulder. It is not known in whose machine shop or on what be-pebbled peaches this highly American cow foraged, but her slayer testifies that she is a typi cally average Oregon bovine. Somehow or other she had gotten wind of the fact that Oregon must swat the Kaiser while the swatting is good, and straightway she wandered from the grassy pastures toward the aforemen tioned beaches and machine shops. Thus once again Oregon is vindicated and may challenge the world to outdo her in patriotism. In these days of German music and musicians) it is rather amusing to read the opinions of former generations concerning Teutonic singers. Frederick the Great was so Impolitely unpatriotic as to declare that he would rather hear the neighing of a horse than the singing of a German prima donna- There is a diverting anecdote of an Italian who was convinced that no Ger man could sing. A friend induced him to go to the opera where Henrietta Sontag sang. After hearing her nrst aria the Italian got up to go. The friend urged him to stay, assuring him that he would be convinced soon. "I know it." replied the Italian, "and that's why I go." Youth's Companion. STUDENTS ASSURED PLACE Every Graduate at Monmouth Ex pects to Teach Next Fall. , OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, Mon mouth. Jan. 12.
