And aa for blnj Immoral well, that Is simply one of his cruel falsehood, told to accomplNh lila ob ject annulment of our ma rr tare." ilere Mr. Taylor, who wan suffering; from toothache, and who had been un der arreat mental strnln t-tr week, ainre learnln of the annulment decree, amlled throuah her velL -Say." ehe upoke up. "I want to tell you. now. eomethlna- about Charlie Tav'or. I wa marrUd t him In ISO. riht here In Portland, at a time when he waa heavily In debt, but hud min ima: pronpects. I.trr. thene developed Into real mlne. a hicli he aold to r.nr WlnKfleld and Senator Nixon. of Nevada, for Il.:Jo.O'. I Not for $!. S.. aa he haa allowed the preea to believe.) Thla Inflated amount I characteristic of him aa he told per sons In Europe he vim one of the richest men In America. The story told In The Orea-onlan yetrday aaid that he rave me a mansion. If any of you arentiemen ran find It. I will ver-r rla.l to rive It to you. I do not know where It la and have had ;no benefit from It. t mlRht assume :that he meant a mansion In Heaven were It not for the fart that he la an Infidel, maligns C.od and rurscs the Savior. The only property I ever got from any m-ney he save me was to 1 build a Itoa home fr my mother. Alleged Soulmate Named. "Thla waa In the honeymoon daya, but noon after I found that Mrs. Motint ney Smith, allaa Mrs. Talmernl. waa living In a real mansion, for wblrh ahe .paid Ill.Oort. Pefore meeting Taylor ahe waa a tearher. She a! paid eomethlng like ll.'"0 f.ir furniture In Bristol. England, to furnish thla mansion. I haven't the exact figures with me. but will prove what I am eaylng here when I get Into court. "Taylor aleedvd away the home I lived In Immediately upon deserting me In Munich. Orrmany. when he left me with no money. I'pon receiving money from America. 1 beaan to Investigate the cause of thla desertion, and found bo waa Infatuated with another wo man this Mrs. Mountney Smith, who. It la aald. had a child by him between the time of our ;narrlage and the an nulment he obtained In Oregon. The birth or thin child la rexlstered In Bristol. England, under an assumed name, which Is a criminal offense In the English law. He haa alnce de serted thla woman. Summon. Not ICm-elvcd. "Taylor securing of this annulment In Oregon la a wonderfully Interesting a'orr. because. If It should stand, no woman's character or the riant that flow to her throiiKh marriage are safe. Jle went before the court In Oregon City, asked for an annulment and swor I waa a drunkard: that I associate with Immoral people and divers other things, hla only m-ltness being a man who aave the name of Aleson Aimer, and hla aldresa as 'up and down the t.'oast.' If the Police department picked up a man who could give no better account of himself than that, they would hold hlrn for further Invea tiaatlon. It seems to me. "The summons of the annulment suit was said to have been mailed to my home In Santa Ana. Cul.. but 1 never got It. although I never failed to re ceive any other mall addressed to me. But thta one letter, on which bung so much of value to me. failed to arrive and my being Ignorant of Taylor s hav ing brouarht It. the ' went by de fault, and a decree was granted. If It stan. la. It takes away from me my good name, which I value moat In this world, without my ever having a chance to ko Into court and prove by hun dreds of witnesses, as can do. that I never waa a drunkard and that my life Is clean and pure and. Instead of my associations being with bad people, that my associates are people who stand hlshist In the community where I live. "Taylor told me he would settle with me on his own terms, or ruin me." Wronji Addreo Cwed. Mrs. Taylor explained how foolish she would have been, after having filed a suit for maintenance n nnta Ana against her husband, to have failed to put In an appearance at Oregon City to defend herself in the annulment pro ceedings, had she received the notice alleged to have been sent to her by the tiheriff of Clackamas County last July. "I wonder If anyone thinks for a min ute that I. having nothing left me In the world to support me. would have neglected to appear at th-egon City and defend my rights had I been notified of that suit?" queried Mra. Taylor, her dark eyes flashing. "I guess most any one with common sense would know better than that." Inasmuch as Mrs. Taylor lived for a time with Taylor In Santa Ana. at 14; "North Main street, ahe cannot under stand why the letter, supposed to have been mailed to her about the suit, waa addressed to Seventeenth and Main atreets. "I am not saying that the Sheriff did not mall that letter." ahe aald. "but I know I never got It. and I know that Charlie Taylor knew his own bouse number In Santa Ana. I also know '.hat I never failed to get any other mall addressed to me." Tajlor Ivlh With Coin. Asked as to Taylor's habit of living.

Jle always aald: Now, Minnie, every one knowa that I am a rich man, and don't try to be too economical: get what you want anl have plenty for the house." In regard to a published story to the effect that Taylor spent over $500,000 on her while they were living together and on their wedding trlpa. Mra. Tay lor could not suppress a hearty laugh. "Say, that story Is a jke," ahe nlJ. There la nothing to that: he never spent anywhere near that aum on me. I sup pose that we probably spent $15,000 a year. 1K you think that la very ex travagant for a millionaire and hla wife? I consider It quite within keep ing with our financial standing. Wife Called "Party. "Now," she continued. "I tell you that Charlie Taylor la a mighty queer man. Whether he Is Insane at tlmea, I don't know, but 'I tell you he acts a lot like It. Why. I have seen him approach our home In Santa Ana on hla hands and knees, coming acrosa the blue grass, aa though to watch us. lie probably thought I did not see him, but 1 did. "There is another thing about him that caused me a terrible lot of humil iation while we were In Europe. While Mr. and Mra. Hall, whom I took acrosa with me aa gueata.t would register at the hotels aa 'Mr. and Mra. Hall,' ha ould register. I'harles Taylor and party. Now. what do you think or that kind of a man? -The hotel offi cials are very strict In Paris and other foreign cities and on several occasions I suffered the painful experience of b-tng asked, while 4n my room, 'Are you Mrs. TaylorT I always replied. "Why. most certainly I am." 'Then why does he register you aa "party'T they would aak. 1 replied. "Simply becauae he la a very peculiar man.' IlerK-rtlon la Recalled. "Since I have pondered over his ac tions and have seen him In the light of recent developments. I now see that hla trick vas to conceal the fact that I was hla wife, becauae he had In mind to de sert me and take a trip later with an other woman. And the way he deserted me In Munich waa cruel. He told me he wanted me to spend all tbe money I could, aa long aa my funda lasted. I finally aald to him one morning that I had expended all I had. He lnalsted upon being asaured that I had no more left and when I told him I had none, he Just laughed at me, got up and said. 'Well. I have got to go fo London: you ask Hall for money. If you need It. I told him that was a queer thing to do, to make me ask of my own guest for money, but he left me. anyway. He then went and joined the woman with whom he waa Infatuated, and I was alone in Munich without a cent. "When I asked Mr. Hall what thla action meant, he askeJ me If I wanted moner. I said that I did. and he said that Taylor had told him never to let me hae more than 10 marks at a time. I told him that I would not take money from him my guest, mind you If I starved to death.

Address Why It Is Done Our purpose in holding this contest is to acquaint the people of this section with the many far-famed makes of pianos we handle. The manufacturers of these pianos are convinced that this form of adver tising is far more effective than spending large amounts in magazine and newspaper advertising, subsidizing concert pianists, etc., etc. We, too, believe the best advertisement for a good piano is a satis fied customer, and we believe, further, that the advertising allowance should go to the person who buys a piano. We want every one to know that ours are the only stores in the West that sell the famous Chickering, the oldest and most expensive of American pianos', the beautiful toned Sohmer; the now celebrated Lester of Philadelphia; the world-renowned Kimball (given the Highest Grand Award at the Chicago Exposition, and again at the Seattle Exposition) ; the genuine Decker, and our own Eilers Orchestral Piano, as. well as the famous Autopiano, which every one can play without practice. The Steger Pianos, the Bush & Gerts and the H. P. Nelson Pianos also are sold only by us. And we want every one to know that we sell these fine, dependable makes of instruments for less than they are obtainable elsewhere.
