.HAIRPIN
SAVED
THE DAY
New Use For An Article of Feminine
AdOrnment

new use has been discovered for
the old-fashioned wire hairpin, as
was demonstrated on one of the sa-
lem electric cars Thursday night,
when a fuse blew out and the new
motorman, who was being broken in
was completely paralyzed, and stop
ned the car full of passengers in
the midst of the South Commercial
street hill. An experienced car man
was aboard, and he Immediately
asked:
Has any lady on this car an old
fashioned wire hairpin?" The ladies
all began searching for the desired
article. but most of them had cellu-
loid, tortoise shell and silver and
gold-plated pins galore. Some prof
fered long steel hatpins, an instru-
ment that every lady relies upon in
almost any emergency.
At last an elderly lady found
away IN lne up VI hNi NVihu'N' -
removing her hat, the little, old
style. soft wire hairpin that our
mothers used to wear. The streetcar
man was delighted, and thanked her.
He wrapped the burnt fuse nimbly,
restored the broken circuit, told the
green motorman to turn on the juice,
and the car with its load Of hungry
humanity went tearing on up the
hill.
The old adage of the poet, beauty
draws us by a single hair" must be
amended by adding that in case of a
hurry call for repairing a burnt-out
fuse, a hairpin will draw a whole
carload OF people.
81 knew what was wanted" said
the old lady to q reporter afterward,
Just as soon as the accident hap
pened, and | smelled the smoke. |
have helped start car before that
was burnt out, and / always carry
one OF those old-fashioned hairpins

MISUNDERSTANDING ALL ROUND
A Citizen Of Eastern Oregon Draws
Draft ON Wrong Bank.

A bit of paper seems to have led
w. B. Benton, of Ontario into a hu-
initiating position. although no one
in particular seems to be to blame.
He arrived in the city last Sunday,
and. as he explained since, he did
not wish his business to be made
public. so he represented himself as
deputy sheriff. He took in the
town. and as it takes money TO live
even in Salem, he, on Monday, found
/ that his cash ON hand was at low
tide. So, having met Jack Cooper,
the genial saloon and show man, he
asked him to be the identifying
agent. in order that he, the stranded
East Oregonian, might replenish his
pocketbook. The two went to the
State Bank OF this city, but, as the
bankers preferred it, a draft was
drawn on the First National bank OF
Vail for the sum of $25, and charged
to the account Of Mr.. Cooper. As
the two gentlemen had only short
acquaintance, Mr.. Cooper few days
later telegraphed to the Vail bank
as to Mr.. Benton's financial stand
ing, and received the answer mo
funds"
This, OF course, aroused suspicion
and being informed that there was
no Benton who was a deputy sheriff
in Ontario, Mr.. Cooper Immediately
set to work to capture his $25. Har-
ry Minto and he went TO Albany yes
terday, and located Mr.. Benton, who
had Just returned from Newport,
where he had been for a short out
ing, and without needless delay told
the surprised resident OF the sage
brush country that he was under ar
rest. After explaining the situation
TO Benton, who protested his inno-
cence, and claimed that he had money
in Lewiston and Ontario, and should
have in Vail. a telegram was sent 70
Lewiston for $50 TO be sent to Mr.
Cooper Immediately. When Cooper
arrived in Salem his money was wait
ing for him, and It developed that
the innocent Benton was really sur
veyor who was connected with the
work OF building irrigating ditches
in the vicinity OF Vail. and that he
had had money in the Vail bank, but
that some OF his colleagues had
drawn It out. The story ends with
everybody happy, and no harm done,
only the incidental annoyance to Mr..
Benton.

ployed on the log drive met with a
sudden aud violent death. lie had
been drinking enough that he was
under the influence OF the liquor,
