''There's many a slip betwixt the
cup and the lip" A good lady of
this city invited her minister to
take dinner with her last Sabbath.
On the day before she purchased a
Spring chicken" and early Sunday
morning she put it in the pot.
Here it remained for more than
half a day. The good minister ar
rived--the chicken was not done,
After waiting couple of hours the
good housewife concluded to give
up the idea Of chicken and have
oysters instead. The chicken is
still cooking and DilIey, "The Fix
err" says, that if all goes well it
will be done in season for dinner
next Sabbath.
A recital by the students of the
musical department Of the Agri-
cultural college will be given in the
college chapel next Saturday eve
ming. Only members of the class,
the faculty and the press have in
vitations to be present. The recital
is not public, for the reason that all
those who appear upon the program
have not yet had the experience
necessary to acquit themselves as
creditably as is desired However,
a public appearance of the class
may be expected early in the
spring. The recital Saturday night
is not intended to be in anywise ex-
elusive, but is merely a class re-
hearsal in the presence of class
mates and teachers. At the con-
clusion Of the program an informal
reception will be rendered the
guests.

productive of much good. The
program as outlined in Fridays

The visitors speak in high terms
of the hospitality accorded them
by the citizens of Corvallis and
enthusiasm displayed by the
local organization in looking
after their welfare.
Rev. F. L. Moore is suffering
from a severe attack Of blood
poisoning. About a week ago,
he scratched ane of. his fingers
On nail, making a slight
wound. Little attention was
given it at first, but it refused te

middle of the palm, and the
