Of Rad G. Story was found this morning
by his brother, Claud A.. Story, and his

rented. Mr.. Story went to see tho me-

DELIGHTFUL DINNER.
President Penrose Entertains the De-

A delightful dinner was given by
President Penrose of Whitman college
on Saturday evening to the members
this years intercollegiate debating
teams, and their coaches. TOasts were
given by representatives from the diff
ferent teams and the debating season
was talked over. Whitman has the
unique distinction this year of having
won every debate she has been in, two
of them by unanimous decision and
of having won on both sides of the
same question. The opinion was ex-
pressed that this record is one which
cannot be equalled in the whole coun-
try. Plans for future forensic con-
tests were informally discussed after
the company had arisen from the
table.
Those present were President and
Mrs. Penrose. Rev. Austin Rice, Pro-
fessor Hendrick, Miss Linnie Marsh,
H E. Brown, c. D. Brainard Gaius

erland and Edward D. Baldwin.

Yet he is good bit of a heavy

often.
