OlCOtt
Pla,yedIt
Our Ben" Puts One Over
on His Newspaper Friends
by Getting Married Christ
mas Without Their Consent

Ben 0lcott put one over" yesterday
on his friends working for the various
news papers in Salem, with the excep-
tin of one, The Capital Journal, and 1t
was not his fault that 1t caught on.
The governor and every other person
who might have thrown some light
upon the secretary's mysterious ac-
tions last Tuesday night after the
court house had been locked and bolt
ed, was called up by The Journal and
proved the most ignorant bunch the re-
porter ever tackled.
After slipping through the back door
to the court house Tuesday evening
about O'Clock, the Hon. Ben proceed
ed TO hail his accomplice, Deputy Sher-
if Esch, and County Clerk Allen was
brought into the scheme. After
short star chamber session" Clerk AL
len solved the combination to his vault
and Deputy Sheriff Esch pulled down
every window blind in the office, with
the exception of one. The county clerk
then came very near cumming the
whole plot. He looked high and low,
was frisked by the deputy sheriff, and
finally the eager Ben ransacked the Of
ficial's clothing. The key to the inner
door of the vault, which barred further
progress, had been lost After half an
hour of diligent search Mr., Allen IL
nally unearthed the key, much to
Beniamin's happiness, so to speak,
tucked away in his overooat pocket.
Before the operations were COM
Inenced, however Ben asked, as a last
request, to have the curtain over
window facing nothing but the white
walls of the alcove of the court house
on the north side be pulled down.
"I have hunted with Mr.. 0lcott
many times; faced the cold winds
blowing from the ocean; Travelled in
storms in many counties and not a
thing could change my friends face, "
said Deputy Sheriff Esch today but
please take 1t from me, that when the
secretary of state was called upon TO
perform the last stunt which raised
him out of the bachelor class, there
were two pretty red spots about the
size of a dollar ON each side of his
face. The man was surely some excit-
ed"
The secretary of state performed a
clever stunt, but it was not long, now
ever, when the news Of his intended
plans reached a certain Journal man.
Then came the wild scramble for de-
tails. While every one on the force
knew who the prospective bride was
yesterday morning, they wanted to
make assurance doubly sure, and a
good story was knocked in the neao
for the reason that Governor West al
whose home the wedding took place
claimed to know nothing of the matter
nor could any person be induced to di'
vulge one iota of definite news.
Nevertheless, the "hunch' was so
certain that The Journal made some
mighty broad hints, and its reaoers
readily filled in between the lines last
night as to what the secretary was up
to.
It's all right, Ben, and The journal
editor forgives you this time because
it is your first offense, and ne can
honestly add that If all the good luch
wished you and your much better MAJ, -,
comes true, your cup of happiness VIII
slop over like the Waite fountain II
action, and your future be as orisnu'
colored.

There are journals and journals
Surely Betty Moore's Journal" by
Mrs. Mabel ID. Carry of Chicago,

a journal worth while.
Through Betty Moore, Mrs. Carry
makes a plea for the sacred rights of
motherhood and for the place of the
home. Betty accustomed to the simp-
Ter. more substantial home conditions
of the English gentlewOman, rebels
inwardly against the hOthOuse exist

ciety women. She takes her place
among them. but the real things, the
important things, seem slipping away
from her. She is confused. regretful

THE woman who seeks to escape
the slavery of the present-day civili-
zatiOn must think back to her girl
hood ideals and endeavOr to live
them. If such women will practice
the Old-fashiOned virtues of home
making and collaborating they will
find there an escape from the fervid
living of the American woman of the
|present-day well-to-do class
In the end Betty wins her battle
wins back her husband and the child
he nearly killed. and-her home life
Better still, she enables other women
TO live up to their best ideals-Or at
least nearer to them.

THE APARTMENT HOUSE.

The idea of group life, or cOmmu-
nifty life. has now pervaded almost
the farthest corner of what was once
individual The apartment house is
the last of these.
In the early days people lived
more or less scattered. They lived in
communities, to be sure. but many
an nacre sometimes separated one farm
house from the other. Then they
formed cities. These We're at first
merely houses grouped more closely
together. Since then they have con-
Iantly been growing closer together,
lies in one house, now as many as
thirty families will sometimes Occu-
by one house. This is the apartment
house. no doubt nothing more than a
fad at present. but serious reality
soon.
SO important is apartment living
becoming that even the genius Edi-
son has given his time to the thought
of some new plan for an apartment
house that will leave some reminiS-
cence of the past individual home
still eXtant.
But the turn to the apartment
house need not be bewailed. 1t is
a very natural step in the new phil
oSophy, that of economy and effl-
cheney to the last inch. We see this
evident everywhere. Industries have
combined organizations have COM
bined. and now it is being carried to
what seems its last corner. and homes
are combining. What will come after
that can only be inferred.

INCREASING THE LIFE RATE.

Vigilance would prevent nearly every

Railway accidents kill LOSS people
and injure more than $4,000 each
year. More than 1000 people are
killed every year while trespassing
on railroad property. TranspOrta-

than the railroads do. Most of these
lives are needlessly sacrificed.
These figures are lost if you COM
