Sage of Salem Speculates By D. H. TALMADGE j-Z On Sale at FRED MEYER Toiletry and Remedy Shop 170 X. Liberty Romantic Episode She was a girl of Salem, He was a boy of Linn, And love notes oft mailed 'em, Each day one out, one in. And when they were together. As sometimes chanced to be, The love they breathed between :: 'em J ; - ..- :i ' Was what's termed ecstasy. They though! so. and it looked so, But 'twasn't so not quite. For on some simple matter They disagreed one night, i : J ! ! ' : And he was big and forceful, While she was small and meek. So by the rules of cavemen, He roughly slapped her cheek. The system works for Gable, If pictures tell the truth, But this time 'twas disastrous To the big and forceful youth. of His face next day bore scratches, A limp was in his gait, Plainly an ear showed marks teeth,' An lumps adorned his pate. - r Find the moral for yourself, If you for morals care; ; It may be difficult to find. But I'm quite sure 'tis there. I saw en: the street today a gentleman whose shirt-tail was half out behind. This man is, I think, a later edition of a boy whose shirt-tail crept furtively out behind him at times and caused laughter amongst his little school mates. A good, kid, he was. I recall that boys whose shirt-tails were frequently out almost invar iably possessed pleasingly care less and democratic natures. I have chanced recently to glance through a small book, the title of which is "Muscular Devel opment; How Attained". Among the exercises listed in the book, operating a typewriter with one finger seems to have been omitted. When a person is in the mood for marveling, and most of us are subject to such moods, he may well marvel at the frequency with which the safety-razor blade reg isters in ell departments of our national life. More particularly the used blade, the number of which " probably runs into i mil lions annually. I would not care to guess the number of millions. Tastes in statistical millions vary greatly. In a matter of this kind, each may determine a figure that appeals to hkn, and let it go at that without danger of stirring up disagreeable . controversy, i Per sonally,. I have a preference for totals of medium magnitude. Oth ers go in for the tremendous. Still other sniff scornfully at any thing which totals beyond human comprehension, and like best something in the hundreds. , Somewhat oddly, the mention of safety-razor blades reminds me of a day on Olinger .field,, when the tents of -the - Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus were spread there. I was at the time owner of a Boston terrier named "Babe". Before going out to the show lot that afternoon I had put "Babe" Into the ; woodshed and closed the door, but she had em erged through a hole at the other end of the wodshed. She had kept out of sight until the Four teenth street bridge was reached, and then, mighty proud of her self and jumping about frantically to evidence her joy in being re united with an old friend after a painful separation of 10 min utes, she put In an appearance. 7 1 had serious doubts as to whether she and the menagerie would get along together. I decided to make Bare before going In. So we went to one side of the men agerie top and waited. It would not be long, I was quite certain, before one or more of the cats would roar. Presently the roar came. "Babe" at once emitted a series of growls and barks and made a fuss generally. So I de cided to wait for the night per formance. We strolled over back of the dressing tent and for an hour watched a troupe of acro bats . rehearsing what I Inferred to be new stunts. And then, the acrobats having gone Inside, we were on the point of leaving when the side curtain of the annex was raised and a woman appeared. I recognized her as the lady who had handled the monster serpents In the ballyhoo which preceded the opening of the big show. She was evidently out for a bit of sunshine, a brief change of air and perhaps a few moments of exer cise. She came towards us, and "Babe" went forward to meet hem. Somewhat to my aston ishment, the serpent lady took the dog in her arms and talked to her. Nobody had ever done this before, although a number had attempted it." And- that to make a 30-minute story last but a minute or two, was how it came about that the serpent lady and I sat on the tongue of a canvas wagon in the sunshine and talked. She did most of the talk ing, and the subject for a time was largely dogs. Presently, however, the subject of snakes was brought up. and I asked her a question bearing upon the dan ger of handling reptiles. She re plied, laughing a little, that there was almost no danger in handling the snakes with which she per. formed. She used two pythons in her act, she said, both of which were given treatment to render them harmless before they were exhibited. As to the handling of poisonous snakes, she said she presumed there was no rule other than would apply in a general way to the handling of safety razor blades. If you have a box ful of old safety-razor blades you don't reach in carelessly and take un a handful. Then she sold me, for 10 cents, a . photograph of her- ROOKS F dll Opening Combined with Sensational Sale of Additional Clothing and Furnishings from the Dan Bowman Store, Portland, that was sold for the benefit of creditors!

Also somewhat oddly, the men tion of lafety-rator blades re minds me ot Shakespeare. Re member what old King Lear said about the thankless child that was sharper than - a safety - razor blade? Yeah, I know he said "a serpent's tooth," bat he didn't know anything about safety-razor blades, and a serpent's tooth can not be any sharper than a safety razor blade, and, anyway, what's the difference?-' Every year the Shakespeare plays move in a bit more on the moving pictures. We now . hav "Romeo and Juliet" coming, with Shearer and Howard as the 1 leads, and too' we have Elizabeth Bergner , in "As Ton Like itl" already booked for pro duction in October at the State theatre. I have read no reviews of the "As You Like It" picture, but I have seen Bergner and I have a smattering acquaintance with the play. It appears to be a combination which should be delightfully entertaining. . I un derstand that the picture will be shown only twice each day, and at prices somewhat higher than customary, daring the Saleih engagement. On the wall over my desk la a picture of a girl. Age about 8. A native of Atlanta. Georgia. Face sweetly devil-may-care. Hair worn In a bang. Across the hot. torn of the picture, written! in scrawling hand, . "Lovingly; Lit tle Jane Withers". There- are some players, not many, whom I never miis seeing when they ap pear on the local screen. Jane Is one of these. On some oc casions I see her twice. a.s a matter of fact. I think Hi shall see her again in, and as, f'Pep per", in the picture now current at the Grand. In this film she is given hilarious support by Irv Cobb and Slim Summerville, ' Why Mother Nature? Why not Father Nature? Not much -use in asking-such questions. We've be come so accustomed to addressing Nature as mother, and to not ad dressing Nature as father that nothing can change it. Only those features in Nature that are all wet are addressed as father, like the oceans and the rivers. Father Ocean and the Father! of Waters, as terms, meet with general ap proval, especially during a drouth. Mother Nature does not do so well when the, wet mem ber fail to do their part.
