Beside the maidens "ali'forlorn " there are •others o f the male persuasion w ho heave a sigh and exclaim " it m ight have been----- if I only could have summoned tbe neces sary courage at the dare-to-die m om ent."

It is said o f a young professor that, after vainly trying to ex plain some scientific theory to his fair inam orata, said: "The question is difficult, and I don’t see what I can do to make it plainer." "Suppose you pop it?" whispered the blushing damsel. Now this is what would be called diplom acy and there is nothing like it. Do yonr duty and the chances are even that before the roaes come again his refrain will be something like the follow ing: "O ly hand me down my spike-tail coat And reef my waistband in, And tie thie necktie round my throat A nil 41«» MA«» V» ftn n — w i n a * And fix my bosom pin;* .

The quartet is made up o f Uni versity o f Oregon students, with Oliver B. Needham as first teqor; Harry E. Devereaux, second ten or and violinist; Ira A. Manville, first bass and a c c o m p a n i s t ; Claude C. Downing, second bass; and Charles B. Glass, tenor, pianist, as director. They'give a high class entertainment and have been well received a t all points. Here follow s some com ments regarding their wdrk: “ The concert given last Friday evening by the Baraca Male Quartet was one. of the most en joyable aflilirs o f the kind given here this aeason."

MgiReBUMNo Unless the delicato, exactly adjusted parts o f a watch are kept clean and lubricated, they are certain to become warn to e greater or lea* extent and the movement will surety lose its ac curacy. Tiny particles o f g rit are bound to work into tbe best protected movement; the oil will become gummed in time and these combined will serve to rat and grind the pivot* and esose friction. Every watch should be thoroughly cleaned and oiled at least once in eigh teen months, and if yours has not been cleaned within that time, it should h a w immediate attention. W e w illv clean youlr watch precisely as it would be don* in the best watch factories—take the movement entirely apart, clean each wheel, cog and pivot separately, assemble and regulate it— and when you get it beck you may depend upon It being in "p erfect sh ap e." j M IL L S Newberg Jeweler N «*t to Postoffice.
