BECAME AN
ACTRESS
ACCIDfNTLY

A Journal reporter called on MISS
Harper for an interview yesterday.
He stopped at the hotel desk ana
asked II the actress were in. "Yes,
second door TO the left" was the di-
rection. But perhaps" the reporter
suggested, 81 had better" Eyes,
you had better rap" was the an
swer to the misunderstood sugges-
ton. II seemed rather informal
procedure, but without further cere-
mony the Journal representative
went down the hall and raped on
the door.
Come" called a very sweet voice
and the reporter entered. Georgia
Harper was seated at table read
ing a magazine. She did not look
up at once from her reading, so the
reporter began, II beg your pardon;
/ am from the Journal" The ac-
tress dropped her reading. "oh!"
she cried, IL thought you were my
husband, or the maid, You-yon SUI
prised me-"
The reporter said he was sorry.
you see" said the actress with
half stage gesture, you have caught
me en- negligee." This might have
been the case bat the reporter
couldn't see Il, unless among the
profession an immaculate shirt waist
OF thin white stuff Is considered
negilee. But the reporter was no
connoisseur of female attire, and
said so. This seemed 10 put Miss
Harper somewhat at ease.
II suppose you want me to talk, :"
she said when she had recovered
somewhat from tie shock.
Yes, about yourself, II you will"
I'm afraid you will find that a
very dull subject" replied Miss Har-
per. The reporter mumbled some
thing about being willing to take
chences on being interested, and
after little hesitation the actress
consented to talk about herself quite
at length. Georgia Harper, by the
way. is a good talker.

stage? o, 1t was all joke in the
first place. | never thought of such

love with the business, and stayed

Miss Farper Las some very defin-
lite ideas about dramatics. One of
the things she doesn't like is a friy-
olous play. 81 like the deeper
plays the best" she said. "Of the
four plays We shall present here, |
think Camille is best suited to my
temperament.
This is the first time Miss Har-
per has been in Salem, and she IS
delighted with the Capital city. I'VE |

road, she said, "even in the East. |
We have heard about your roses
most of all, and your cherries. We
heard about them way down in Los
Angeles. wouldn't believe the
stories / heard about the roses in
this country, but am convinced
now"
While the actress was going into
ecstasy over the roses of Salem, the
door quietly opened and her husband

Henry Cabot by tester for the
Thomas Automobile Co. The Adrian
Times says:
1T was only one man killed. and
We don't pay much attention 10 such
matters unless there are at least a
dozen killed. but the significant fea-
ture is that ii Is one more added 10
a very long list of casualties that
has marked the advent of the automo-
bile. Lives are being sacrificed al
most daily. People are being run
down on the streets and roads, like
the Detroit man; they are dashing
themselves to death in the machines
themselves; they are being killed by
horses that have taken fright at
machines. And the worst OF IL Is
that large proportion OF such ac-
cidents are preventable.
To drive an automobile al the rate
of sixty miles an hour. which 1t is
reported the Detroit man did when
he ran his victim down. is the next

One Of the most interesting eharae-
tiers among the surviving men OF the
lost ship Eclipse is John Cameron, the
first officer Of the vessel. Though he
has almost touched three score, and has
been forty-seven years at sea, he is
still hale, and came through the terrible

was engaged in that trade. and has
rounded Cape Horn nearly forty times.
That was the heydey Of that service

OF times he has rounded the Horn he
has never seen so much as sail lost
