SOMEBODY called Judge Gatens by telephone Monday night. "Can you marry us right away?" asked a man's voice. "Sure. Come on out to the house," replied the Jur-ge. "Hurry up, though, because I have an engagement." "We'll be there in 20 minutes. I'm in a hurry, too," and the receiver clicked. A taxicab rolled up in front of Judge Gatens residence in Irvington and stopped. Four people got out. Ten minutes later Charles Miller Ev ans had been married to Grace Valerie Riemenschneider. Mr. and Mrs. Evans and their two witnesses got back into the taxicab, waved a farewell to Judge Gatens and sped away. Judge Gatens went to his garage, cranked his own car, gathered a party of friends in the tonneau, and set out. The Oaks was bis destination. For half an hour- the jurist and his party lost themselves in the mazes of a hundred different kinds of enter tainment. "Let's go to the show," suggested the Judge. They bought seats in the third row and watched a musical comedy com pany patter away at a lighthearted piece of comedy. "Seems to me I've seen that fellow before," said the Judge, when a good looking tenor started to - warble one of his stock songs.. "Wonder if he hasn't been up before me for some thing?" The first act was just over when members of the troupe shoved the tenor and a pretty little soubrette on the stage. A bag of rice struck the man in the head and trickled down his neck. Rice showered the couple from both sides of the stage, while the tenor and the soubrette stood close together and ducked their heads. An old shoe narrowly missed the girl and dropped among the orchestra. Presently a member of the troupe came on the stage to announce the rea son for the "rough stuff." "Charles Evans and Grace Riemen Schneider ran away before the per formance tonight and got married without letting us know," he ex plained. "We're Just letting you peo ple know about it, t there won't be any mistake." The innocent cause of it all sat among his friends in the third row. But he didn't make himself known. "No wonder he was in a hurry to get it over with and get away," comment ed Judge Gatens. Employes of County Clerk Make Gift to Reporter.

A PERSONAL APPEAL I am making a 'personal appeal to prospective piano buyers, and even those who expect to buy in a year or so, to help me out now and I will make it well worth your while to buy that piano or player-piano at this time. I am striving with all my might to raise money. I have a big obliga tion to meet in a short time. I have set about to retire $40,000 worth of preferred stock, as the holders of this stock insist on their money and there is only one way for me to raise this money. ' I have the pianos, and good pianos, such as the world-renowned Sohmer, Behning, Strohber, M. Schulz, Bennett and many others. I have them in abundance. I need the money and the public needs the pianos. These instruments are standard quality. They are not pianos of un known brands, but the name of each and every one of them speaks for itself. They are instruments with a reputation, and they have always been sold at prices ranging from $300 to $1000. In the players I am offering there are players that have always sold from $450 to $1500. Now then, I do not believe in cut ting prices, but I am facing a crisis which compels me to throw this beautiful stock on the market at prices that. will induce the public to buy now, even though you do not wish the piano delivered, it is worth your while to select one and have it stored, as this is one golden opportunity. I have a number of used pianos, some of them of the old standard makes, all in pretty good condition; some of them will make splendid pianos for beginners, ranging in prices from $65 to $100. New pianos, good, reliable, guaranteed makes, $143 and splendid new player-pianos, fully guaranteed in every detail, the kind that you have always had offered you at $450 to $500, now $230. Of course, these are cash prices, but for a small additional sum, I have made arrangements with my bankers whereby if you pay a good, substan tial payment down you may have 20 months on the balance. I do not know of anything more I ,can say other than to assure you that you will meet me personally at this store. I am the man who is vitally in terested, and I will see that you re ceive every courtesy, even though you should not buy. Come in and talk it over with me. Investigate my .line and you will con vince yourself immediately. E. H. HOLT, President, E. H. Holt Piano Company, Whole salers and Retailers, 333 Morrison Street, Northwestern National Bank Block. The Oregonian staff. The numerous at taches of the County Clerk's office who meet Mr. Gerber every day, and like him, contributed to buy a silver tea set and a casserole dish. When Mr. Coffey made his little speech he handed the young man a large package and a note expressing the good wishes of the donors. Mi. Gerber, who really was most agreeably surprised, colored up and stammered his thanks, then made his exit carry ing his present. In the outer office he was besieged with congratulations by his numerous friends. sides. There will be no grade crossings whatever on the railroad over this stretch. The type of paving will be the concrete. SAVE MONEY ON MEN'S CLOTHING. On account of our giving up our Third and Stark-street store, we are closing out the entire stock at unheard of low prices.
