HIS sExT0N's SUGGESTION.
It Was Meant to Be Sarcastic, but It
Hit Dr.. Hale Just Riobf


The sexton of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form Of deafness that prevents man
from hearing what he does not wish to
hear and enables him to hear what he
does wish to hear. Occasionally when
sweeping the sidewalk In front of the
church some stranger would ask him
for information, and his usual answer
was a wave Of the hand. "rm totally
deaf, totally deaf. You will have to
ask some one In the church."
1t often happened that DIR. Hale in
the midst Of busy day would find the
luncheon hour at hand and an impor-
tant appointment still unmet. 1t was
his custom to invite his caller into his
study and ask the janitress to make an
oyster stew. The sexton resented DR..
Hales infOrmality.
The time came for new sign to be
placed on the front Of the church, and
DR.. Hale and the assistant pastor were
standing in the vestry aisle discussing
Just what the wording of 1t should be.
To their surprise the conversation was
suddenly interrupted by the deaf sex
ton, who stood far enough away to
make doubtful the ability of a normal
persons overhearing what had been
said. I'll tell you what to put on that
sign! he exclaimed. "Come I'm! Ev-
erybody welcome! Meals served at all
hours Of the day and nightv
"All right" said DR.. Hale quickly.
THAT'S what we will do. I've always
wanted to call this church the Exeter
olnhp-Youth's Communion.

Miss HOwes in Recital

Miss Ruth Howes and her sister,
Miss Jessie, returned from Portland
Saturday after a few days visit with
their aunt, Mrs. W. H. Crowell. While
in Portland Miss Howes, who has been
studying music in Portland this season
under Miss Abbie Whiteside, was pre-
sented in recital at the Little Theatre
Friday night. The following criticism
of the affair appeared in the Oregon
ian:
Miss Ruth Howes, of Hood River,
who was presented in piano recital at
the Little Theater last Friday night by
Abby Whiteside, proved herself STU
dent of musicianly attainments. The
program opened with the charming
''Tambourin," of Romeau, which Co
dowsky has made over to suit the mod
ern piano. 1t is full of grace and was
played with rhythmic delicacy and pre-.
cision. 1t was followed by the first
movement of the Schumann "a Minor
Concerto. This number made the
greatest demands technically and mu-
sically. 1t is rich in melody and COM
pelling in rythm. Miss Howes played
it with appreciation and power
Throughout the program this pianist
showed ability to get the characters
tic quality of each composer. In the
modern group, the Florent.Schmidt
Pupazzi were played with humor and
charm. Miss Whiteside has again
demonstrated her ability at program
building.
