Portland's first opportunity to hear high grade music by the Portland sym phony orchestra at popular prices will come, through a series of concerts to be held on Sunday afternoon in The Audi torium, with the complete orchestra under the direction of Carl Denton, con ductor. The first of this series will be held next. Sunday afternoon, December 26. in addition to the orchestra a group of prominent Portland singers, appear ing in vestments, will sing Christmas carols. The remaining concerts of the series will.be given at the rate of one a month durmg January, February and April. The sale of season tickets offered , for $2.50 each, is brisk. A season ticket en titles the holder to the choice seats in The Auditorium at all of the concerts. The Portland symphony orchestra has long been successful in its symphony work. However, the prices necessary to defray the expenses of the symphonies l are out of the reach of many people who enjoy good music. Because of. this fact, and with a desire of the directors of the symphony to cooperate with the city of Portland in its effort to furnish high grade music to Portland residents at low cost, the popular concerts were arranged. . The prices of admission for the symphony popular concerts will range from 75 cents for. the most qhoice seats to 15 cents for seats in the upper balcony. Season tickets can be procured at any of the music stores, or by directing a letter to the office of the orchestra in care of Sherman Clay & Co. Jack Ebellof pleasant personal ity, former successful business man, active in government work during the. world war long engaged in as sisting human derelicts in their struggle toward rehabilitation at present engaged in a highly respect able though not overly lucrative pro fession in the City of Roses." Rather an enviable record one would think, yet Ebell envies the stray dogs con signed to the Humane society's ken nels for a brief period and then, if not claimed, mercifully put to death. Ebell-r-that is not his real name envies the stray dogs, "not because they are fed, but because) they are mercifully taken out of a world of heart-breaking, soul-maddening, hopeless strife ; away from the sordid selfishness and little ness of a selfish humanity," he told a Journal reporter. ENVIES DOGS "I suppose you think me cowardly to talk this way and still hang on In this mortal coil, out you are wrong there," Ebell said. "I believe human life is God-given and no one has the right to take it; not even one's own life. . "But as for dogs, most fortunate members of a lower specie of the ani mal kingdom, they can inhale a breath of chloroform, then perhaps a momen tary pain dart then finis! Ah, God, what a happ state I An eternity free from useless longings, hopeless strug gling, slowly dying ambitions and unan swered prayers!" Finding he bad a sympathetic hearer, Ebell, as the reporter promised to call, him, continued : "Do you know your paper recently published two stories, each concerning a dog, both typical of your much vaunted human sympathy. TELLS WHI "Fewj-men or women would deny a hungry man or animal food or shelter for a day, but why in the name of a merciful God' can't they look a little fur ther, probe a little deeper and help one another in bigger ways? God! the anguish a broad-gauged charity of the N'azarene sort, would save humanity! Do you know why I envy those soul-less dumb animals? Listen: "Several years ago a noble, trusting woman turned me from living just within the pale of the law, sometimes breaking over. She became my wife and then I bent every effort to make a success of a profession I had trained for earlier in life, to justify her love and confidence. We were inseparable, work ing day and night, and a splendid career was assured us ; in fact, we were en gaged on a contract leading to the heights of our joint ambition when the crash came. "I was called from my wife's side one day and, due to the activity of a profes sional rival, arrested for the embezzle ment of funds which I was then work ing to repay. No one believed me when I said I only wanted to be let alone until I could make practical restitution by repaying the money I had unlaw fully taken, from another. I could have avoided conviction through legal subter fuge, but I had learned from my wife a fundamental principle that I could not unlearn-J-'honesty Is the best policy.' "My wife had long known of the affair and was then assisting me in my efforts to make good the amount. We talked it over, however, and agreed that as a matter of principle the right thing was for me to admit my guilt and take what came. DESERTED BT WIFE "I did so ;' I served more than two years in a reform " institution. God ! what a misnomer ! . "I never heard from my wife from the day I entered that hell-on-earth until long after I departed from it under all the horrible Ignomy and disheartening handicap the appellation "ex-convict brings one. She later sued for divorce, and sole possession of her boy, born while i his lather was In prison. Her stated grounds for divorce were that I had served a prison term for embezzle ment ; my fight to make amends was not mentioned in the suit. I did not contest. She did not need to go to court; I had thought she knew that. Still, she surely felt justified in her procedure. HELD BACK BT PAST "Coming out of prison during the world war with $5 and tho haunting taunts of the prison officials that I would soon be back believing my wife dead and longing to be useful to human ity, I tried to enlist in overseas service. Ex-convicts were not wanted, the re cruiting officers informed me ; still if I would falsely swear I had never been in prison they weuld accept me. I didn't enlist. I went to work in. a civil capac ity for the government---a job it seemed few wanted. "Then, following the armistice, began a long soul-racking moving from com munity to community. Somehow the people would learn that I was an ex convict, and their "holier-than-thou' at titude forced me to give up position after position, constantly moving on. After two years, in another state, 1 met an other noble woman., FEEL SAFE NOW "She knew of my past and sacrificed position, friends and relatives to help me secure an even start with humanity. Her's has been a hopeless sacrifice. It was no use : from some mysterious source the knowledge that I was an ex convict was common by the time I could prove my abitlty in my profession, and we had to njve on, away from a hu manity which had no place for an ex convict. ' "Finally we moved .far beyond tho heretotore seeming boundless sone of hu man hate. We haven't hadto move for some time now, nor is it likely that we will' ever . again ; but we will spend the rest of .our days with our nobes to the grindstone, pajing the debts incurred in that long hope-destroying treek. There is no other way ; each week the rent and food bill is paid, the remainder goes on debts. Our clothes will be made over and over by my noble helpmeet until there is nothing to hold them together, and then-?. CAVT "SHUFFLE OFF" "With a couple of hundred dollars to enable me to devote a few weeks to my j UWU yi U1COC1U1I, Jk .QUIU lV splendid income again, and my wife could again take her place in that so ciety from which her noble sacrifice has excluded -her. My death would, auto matically place my wife in her former position, but she prefers to fight it out with me ; so I' can't do that, "So you see, I can't well 'shuffle off, nor could I, with niy references from the prison officials, expect human aid to get a fair starU-nd so we will continue the struggle until an all-wise Providence ends it alh. i "Do you know, I think I'll1 look up the spot where these most fortunate canines are buried; I would like to sit there ana enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that must hover over their burial placed" Kbell hastened away. He had to go purchase a money order, he said.' r Hot Lake Arrivals Hot Lake, Or., Dec. 18, Recent ar rivals at Hot Lake sanatorium are: W. T. Masters, Mrs. Robert McGaughy, Mrs!
