Pantf and be Wolf Hop per cot their starts within the shadow of "brilliant" kerosene lamps' of the theatre at the same time, so to speak, way back In '77. The happy night was Hopper's advent as a stage star. "BD1" Panels made his debut as a very 'youth ful member of the cast Hopper's star has ceased to shine, but Pangle has ad vanced over the footlights, through the orchestra pit, to the front of the house and has been' -since Its erection, mana ger of the Heilig theatre. When Pangle waa 7 years old he was peddling: bills for passes to the "op'ra house." and It was a determination thus early rooted, despite cruelly cold weath er and other trials, that made him the happiest kid In seven states when he went on with Hopper In "One Hundred Wives," In the old home town In Ohio. In 18SS Panels came to Portland, where, between shows he worked on the Morrison street bridge, then a toll span, and in the evening; played traps and comet In the orchestra. For three years, still playing- meanwhile, he was superintendent of the old Alblna electric line, the first in the West Twenty-five years ago he became a fixture in Portland's theatrical affairs and went with Calvin Heilig, now owner of the Heilig, before he staged his first how In the old Marquam Grand. Between the orchestra pit and the front of the house was a giant's stride, but In 1900 Pangle made the step and became manager of the Marquam Grand, succeeding George L. Baker, now mayor. who went to Baker City to open a show shop. In 25 years under the Heilig banner. during which time he has become one of the best known persons In western stage affairs, Pangle has been actually off duty, resting freely, only two months. His friends declare he's a fiend for work in spite of the fact that The Journal photographer found him decidedly "at last evening Mrs, John Farmer Voll. returning from market, came suddenly face to face with a danjeroufr convict The NurserjnrUle Home Guard turned oot' at -once and tn monster escaped.

I read an interesting dog story in a magazine recently. An English lord and his pet dor -were crossing the Irish sea when the dog slipped between the rails and fall overboard. In great agitation the ' Englishman ordered ;the captain ta stop the ship, but the captain refused. , "It you won't stop the ship for a dog you will. stop it for a man," cried the incensed nobleman, and leaped into the sea. The ship was promptly stopped and both voyagers rescued. I saw an old horse shaking- his head sadly the other day and when I asked him what, was wrong he asked me if I had read any automobile statistics lately. "Do you realise," he stuttered excit edly, "that there are nearly 8,000,000 mo tors in the United States more than In any other country. In fact? One to every 14 persons! These silly tin beasts are usurping our rights !" he wheeled hoarsely. "Don't, take such a dark view of the matter," I begged. "People will always need some horses and the boys and girls lov you still." He seemed cheered. Pangle was one of that army of wise folks (he admits It) 'who welcomed . the moving picture show with loud guffaws and predicted its early and unmounted demise. He apologizes now, however, by admitting the error of his ways. The Heine's manager saw the strenu ous dare of the western stage "ui com pared with which the present is a calm and restful era. Those were the days when footlights were fired by kerosene, against which the electrics of today, perforce, made slow progress. This happy chap who passes out the handshakes for the house doesn't admit his age, but he does declare "he owned the first marlmbaphone on tha Pacific coast and be spent several summers playing4 It In the Catallna Island band. He has seen the theatre develop from a few rows of chairs and a platform to its present pomposity and he has seen the making and the breaking of some of the greatest figures In American stage history, -but, perhaps because throughout his managerial years he has been closely directing the press agent work of nls organisation, he yet willingly draws one aside to aver that the next show at Broadway and Taylor streets will be the best in history. Ailuros "Hello. Ailuros I" said an old gentle man, pausing to stroke a gray cat. "Hello." purred the cat, rubbing against his knee. ifiw h old centleman had passed asked the cat why he had been called Ailuros. That's me In Kgyntian." yawned the cat, not very grammatically. "The an cients gave It to me, but it's a little too long for every oay use. "But what does it mean?" I asked ruin. "Just this," said the cat, waving his tall gently from side to side. "Just jthls ! "Tail waver, vou mean : Tmm" reolied the cat washing his fc carefully, "and now If you are m Egypt ever you'll know how to address my relatives over mere. Unpopular Peacock The most unpopular bird in the zoo Is the peacock, and one cannot help blam ing the other animal folks for their prejudice against this harsh voiced, gor geous creature. Perhaps it is because h struts around free while they are caged, or perhaps it is his disagreeable manner. But whatever it is, they scold him soundly when he nears their prem ises. Even the hippopotamus rushes angrily forward when he appears. Tire Troubles Mr. Small Wooden Doll, addressing a meeting of the Dolltown Motor club, re lated some of his experiences with his car at the shore. It was impossible to keep a good tire on his machine, he as serted, owing to the green flies and mosquitoes, who maliciously punctured lire after tire. As the offenders had wings, they always made their escape and punishment ol any Ulna was im possible. For Boys and Girls THE, PREiTJ Charles Clary has been a screener for nine years. . . . ;. .

Ideta6uyDie31iPim Ring-Opposed to Old Custom HerMVaAtfPANO 5 Many a bereft widow lias to dash fa the other room to choke back a smile when, her callers begins to rave about the "super man.." By Ring W. Lardncr To the Editor: They seems to be a kind of !a. un written law that when a man dies, why him dying makes htm one of the best guys in the world no mat ter how much of a bum he was wile still amongst us yet, and they's .a old saying witch says: "Don't never speak no ill about the dead," and It don't make no dif ferents what you know about the corps delicti before he becomes such, why you are sup pose to keep the facts to yourself and whenever the recent decease Is mentioned you got to" say, "He was one grand character," and what a crime It is that he had .to be took when so many crooks and etc. Is let live. Personly I can't see no sense to the above rules as In the 1st place statistics shows that , when the ma jority of men dies they do It against k 77i5; 7 1 their will and try not to and. dont deserve no-credit for same,' and the only gents who a credit mark is comeing to them, for passing out is the ones that does It on purpose. In' the 2d. place it looks to me like the best time ' to pan a guy is when the last sad rights has been wished on him and he don't give a d-m no more what you think, where as on the other hand it don't do him no good at this stage of the game to say what a humdinger he was be fore the angels signed him up, though the kind words may furnish a hearty laugh to the people that use to live with him, his Mrs. lnclu sive. Many, a bereft widow has to dash in the other rm. to choke back a smile when her callers begins to rave about what a super man it was that has walked out on her. In the d. place what kind of a effect does it have on you and I that s still alive to: hear the boys drool over the decease? Why, we say to ourselt what-is the use of being right liver and havelng one, and etc If they shower words or praise and economy! on a bird like that th,e minute he is parked in the wood kimona? ,! For Inst. a .wile sLgo: they was m friend of mine that croaked and X had been friends, wltb both himself and wife and knew the both of them pretty well and how they felt towards the .other and etc and when he was rone I kept away from the house so as to not half to tell her things about him that she all ready knowed, and knew they wasn't so and knew I knowed It, and' when this bird died they was a piece in the home town paper that says it didn't see how the world was going to shimmy along without this bird and everybody that had knew him loved him on acct of him being kind and frank and ernest and had such a sweet disposition and so generous and etc. and also ad mired him for his lntelligents and what a whix he had been In college and etc. Well, I don't know if his relic seen this write up or not, but if she did I hope her lips wasn't cracked be cause she must of knew him a whole lot better than t did and I knowed him on the golf coarse. This baby was nuts over the an cient scotcn vice ana you may as well talk about a square rambler or baby that don't never wake up in the night as to say a man Is a honest golfer. This bird was honest and thAm th hnardi about nni In 9. wks. when he shot a hole in par When he was on his game and click- Ins off 7s and 8s and a occasional eagle 10 spot, why you'd be sur prised. When he would get on the green in 6 and you ast him how many he lied, he would think a mln ute and then say: "Lets see. Caddy, how many shots nave l naa 7 Well, when a man asks their caddy how many shots have they had, keep your hand on your watch. And if the caddy says, "Six," instead of five or ' four they'll be another caddy holding the bag next time out. - As for him being ernest and gen erous, well I have seen this party hook into a few acres of alfalfa and hold the game up sine die wile we all of us helped hunt for the ball and every 2 or 3 minutes he would say: "I will drop another ball,' expect ing us to say: "Oh no lets look for this a wile longer" but we didn't never say It because he knowed he didn't have no intentions of dropping another ball and when would get home a hr. and H late for dinner and tell our Mrs. jhat, St wast this guy's fault as he kept us looking for his ball "all Pi ll, why the would probably says WelI, you didn't half to wait' for ' him, did your The he-11 you didn't.- The sweet flavor of the dlsooslah lasted as long as he got his braasys" . up in me air, out leave him top a couple of them and It would all of 1 a sudden. turn sour and the caddy' wouia oe a amy, low life; no good bum with ancesters that wasn't hu man. " As for the meddles that this bird " win at college they couldn't of none of them been for mathematics as he . hadn't never learned to count over 9 even with us all trying to help him, and further ana more a man that makes a name for himself as a student has got to have a pretty fair memory where as this guy was me cnampton forgetter In our club. Yes gents, the write-up this guv got when he croaked rive me a good laugh but it also made me wonder why should I go to church everv Xmas and pay my debts and etc because when I croak they can't spread no more, salve about me than they handed this baby, witch I knowed all of it was wrong even if I didn't know him nowheres only on the golf coarse, where as his wife knowed him a whole lot better, though If you can't marry a man. the best way to learn him is to watch him golf. If you want the truth about a guy, ask his wife or his caddy. . 8o when my time comes I am go Ing to give the boys cart Blanch, to say whatever they want to about me that will get through the mails because their compliments won't make me feel any the less deader and they won't fool nobody especially the bereaved family and only make the latter smile at a time when they are doing' their best not to.
