Careful study of thrifty walters"
said a patron of many restaurants,
has enabled me to predict beforehand
the exact number and value of the
coins the waiter will bring upon a
tray in the way of change. It is sim
ply a mathematical problem, which is
solved by placing yourself in the posi-
ton of the waiter and figuring upon
how much of tip the customer will
stand for.
IF a man alone goes into cafe, and
his check for breakfast, say. amounts
to As cents. he will usually give the
waiter a dollar bill. He will receive
in return three dimes and a quarter.
If the waiter brought back two quar-
ters and a nickel, the chances are that
he would get only the nickel as a
tip, instead OF the dime which he does
get.
IF the man is accompanied by a
friend, and the check amounts TO 70
cents, the waiter will bring a nickel
and quarter. He knows that no
man will tip a. waiter with a nickel In
the presence Of a guest Therefore.

While Judge CAN'T is not our

Opera House, Tuesday Night.

"Human Hearts," which will
be given at the Opera House
next Tuesday evening, is a play
that has withstood the test of
time as few dramas of recent
years have done.
Mondays Portland Telegram
has this endorsement of the COM
pany and their performance:
'sWhat> is there in 'Human
Hearts that enables that melo-
drama to make such hit? For
several seasons this play has ap-
peared at Cordray's, and invari-
ably it has enjoyed corking good
business. Once more the show
came to Cordray's yesterday, and
two big audiences turned out to
see it, although the heart-rending
story has been tod and retold on
the stage of this theatre. AS on
former occasions the company
was up to the requirements and
the audiences were enthusiastic
both at the matinee and evening
performances.

May Grant New Schedule.

The effort to secure a change
of schedule in the West Side pas
senger service, whereby it is be-
lieved the towns lying along the
line will be greatly benefited,
is receiving much encourage
ment. The movement is being
pushed vigorously by all inter
ested. At a meeting of the Port
land Board of Trade last Monday
evening a communication was
read from the Independence I'm
provement League soliciting the
cooperation of the board in the
endeavor to obtain better train
service on the West Side from
the Southern Pacific The board
indorsed the communication and
the chairman appointed I. B.
Hammond, A. H. Devers and c.
M. Idleman as a committee to
confer with the railroad officials
in Portland and cooperate with
the independence Improvement
Leauge.
Assurances have been received
from the Southern Pacific off,
cia1s at Portland, that the matter
shall be given earnest considera-
ton. Petitions are being circu-
lated in all cities on the West
Side, and are being numerously
signed. Corvallis cannot afford
to be idle in this matter. The
suggestion for new schedule
had its inception in this city,
and a strong petition from here
would have its influence with the
railroad people, who have shown
disposition to make improve
ment where there is evidence
that they are practical and will
be appreciated.

GHfMAWA WON.

After Playing a Tie Game, the visitors
Won by Score of to 9.
In the most stubbornly con-
tested game of basketball seen in
the Armory this season, the girls
of 0 A G met their first defeat
last Wednesday afternoon. Their
dusky opponents from Chemawa
gained the victory after the score
had been tied at the end of the
second half. The teams agreed
to continue play Until one or the
other had scored poins, and it
was the visitors good fortune to
land most difficult basket after
the local girls had missed a num-
Der of pretty attempts.
The teams were most evenly
matched: Cherawa playing the
better defensive game, and o A
c giving a beautiful exhibition
of offensive play. The team
work of the local girls was bril-
liant, but the dusky maidens
camped closely upon their trails,
and no paleface ever had oppor-
tunity to make adeliberate throw
from the field. Chemawa was
more successful in attempts FROM
the field, and thereby gained
their victory. The farmer las
sizes kept the ball under the visi-
tors basket two-thirds of the
game, but the ball seemed too
large for the rim, for it would
circle around just inside in
most exasperating way, and jump
out again.
The first halt ended in score
of 2 to o, in Chemawa's favor.
To this score the visitors added
another basket soon after the
opening of the second half. The
local 1assies' luck turned then,
and they secured two baskets.
Chemawa added two points by a
pretty trick, but their advantage
was soon overcome. When the
half ended, the score board read:
Chemawa, 6; GA c, 6.
BY mutual agreement the game
was continued, and after five
minutes of play one of the visi-
tors made sensational try for
goal, which proved successful.
While the playing of both
teams was strenuous, the best of
humor prevailed and few fouls
were called. Neither team made
point from free throws. 1t is
probable that a return game will
be arranged, and those who see
it will get their moneys worth.
