Every thing seems to be running to
the spectacular in this day and gen.
Grafton. In France. Germany, England
and more lately in the United States
and Canada great historic pageants
have taken place It has only been
In the last few weeks that Maude Ad-
ans gave the splendid Joan of Arc
pageant in the Harvard Stadium. the
week following the Champlain celebra-
ton was presented. The landing of
Hendrick Hudson and other notable
events will also be represented in
spectacles.
Practically every well known his
toric town in England has had page
ants setting forth the glories of the
past. Even the story OF the English
Church has been acted.
The effect has been that the people
have become interested in the past.
The realism Of the action. the setting
and the costumes have made them
well worth seeing and the common.
grafton OF scenes OF the past makes
for higher patriotism and citizen

once : military road cut through tho
Wilderness fsg graves in the GENE
tery--a rev low embankments. once
fort-these are all that is left OF what
was once struggle for the state OF
Indiana. A little later on came the
settlers, fur traders, adventures. then
the farmers-and there were Indians
In those days even on our sluggish
whitewater. Then the building OF the
National Road and the canvas cover
ed wagons plodding YEARLY westward
with the yoke oxen.
The early Quakers. the first settlers
of this locality, though their minds
would have turned from anything SO
worldly as pageant would neverthe-
less lend themselves readily in their
picturesque costumes to a pageant OF
the present day.
And this county need never be
ashamed OF the part it played in the
days of the beginning of the War of
the Rebellion. Born of the scenes
which we have Just mentioned came
forth Oliver P. Morton.
All of this is the heritage of Wayne
county. One of the best ways of inn
pressing not only the citizens of other
parts of the country but even oursel-
yes with the place which we occupy
in the scheme of things Is in the pag.
cant.
Which might be done sometime.

Il am almost convinced that there
would be no response answered
Prof. Thinktum, adjusting his glasses.
Then you don't believe that Mars
is inhabited?"
'On the contrary, I consider it ex-
tremely probable that life similar to
our own exists on the sister planet"
But you don't give those people
credit for intelligence equal to ours?"
Yes. I am inclined to credit them
with even greater intelligence than we
display. There are many indications
that they have a civilization older
than ours; in which case they should
have too much sense to fool away
their time on any such impractical
proposition"

AUTOMOBILES IN NOVA SCOTIA

BROCKTON, Mass, Aug. %
Some Brockton people who have
been making automobile tours in
Nova Scotia have run up against
some strange regulations of the
provincial character which have
tended to considerably abridge
their convenience and comfort.
They did not find an absolute pro-
hibition against cars, as in Nan
tucket. but the regulations they did
find were even more annoying than
that at Nantucket, because of the
latter they were specifically inform
ed and so would not undertake a
tour there. 1t appears that the
Nova Scotia regulation forbids cars
from using the highways in certain
sections on the market day in each
week, when the country folk flock
into the town to do their trading.
They discovered too late for their
convenience, that the market days
do not occur on the same day of the
week in every town, SO that while
they steered clear of that in one
town they brought up with a bang
against the bars in another town
on the line of the routes they had
planned.

PANTAGES

Seldom have Pantages perform
ances excelled the offering at thai
playhouse this week. From begin
ming to end the bill is pleasing and
is fraught with originality that
holds the attention of the au
diences. "The Nymph of the Sea,
presented by Mazda and company
is beautiful and most interesting
act that is highly appreciated by
attendants. Stage effects are beau
tiful. The act ends in a scene that
gives the entire stage the appear
ance of a great aquarium, where
with large fishes, a mermaid and
the "nymph" may be seen gliding
about, apparently in the depth OF
the sea, keeping out of the way OF
a diver from the top.
Perhaps next in point of interest
is the cycling feat of the Three
Demons. This act calls upon the
performers to risk their lives
practically every minute through
out the offering. The trio rides
bicycles on a high, rapidly revolv
ing platform, going in the reverse
direction at tremendous speed, and
even at that are scarcely able to
hold their ground against the whir
of the machinery. 1.-THE Pledge OF
COrOnova," a little Russian play
let by John J. Justus and Ethe
Roman Company, is much like the
last act of Russian military
drama, where a suspected young
revolutionist is saved by his sis
ter when about to be executed fol
plotting. The Doric Trio, whose
tenor was a little to the bad las
night in it's first selection, proved
to be one of the favorites with the
audience before it's offering was
completed. Markee Brothers arc
great. Moving pictures are o.
especial interest this week, anC
William D. ellison with his illus
trated song continues to bring GU
the applause.

THIS FAN THINKS THERE'S
NOTHING IN ALLEGED DEAL

Brown to play. any postponed game
unless he has an open date, and II
you and F. G.. F. will read up you
will find that there are no open
dates that touch the coming Aber-
deem series. It is simply a case OF
better baseball" on the part of
Seattle, and better baseball is
what 1t takes to win a pennant ev-
cry time. / am not knocking the
Spokane team either when l make
that assertion. Spokane has had
more than her share of hard luck
this season, which accounts for
some of the poor baseball we have
had. I suppose If Seattle had had
the crippled team that we have had
and was at the bottom Of the per-
centage column, you wouldn't say a
word. With all the bad luck we
have had the team has done nobly
well and we have had some pretty
good ball dished up to us this year
better than We ever had before
and | don't think for one minute
that ALL the local fans entertain
any such charges as you infer.
A few sore heads" or "Why-the-
'ell-don't-they-win-every game pa
irons may think so, but l give the
majority of Spokane fans credit
for being broader minded than
that. If they all feel that way
pity Fighting Bob" when he gets
home with that crippled team. Now
cut out that rot and we can get
that pennant yet. w. L. N.

ORPHEUM

The Orpheum had it's first birth
day yesterday. and last night a
great throng of people were pres
ent to celebrate the occasion and
see the performance, which was
even a little above the usual Or
pheum standard.
Tom Waters got the most ap
plause, and Sonora Rosario Guer
zero created perhaps the most in
terest and admiration. Waters is
naturally comical genius, and his
little mannerisms and antics were
irresistible. The great Spanish &C
tress is extremely beautiful and
fascinating. For two years she
has not played outside New York
city. She is superb.
Murray and Mack were rather
disappointing. They did their best
with the jokes and roles selected,
but a better selection should be
made. With some original playlet
at their command, they are always
the hits of any entertainment.
Charles d. Weber, juggler, is on
the very top rung of the ladder in
his profession. He is far better
than the juggler of last week. It's
worth the price just to see Weber.
Christine LaBarrague has an ex.
quisitely sweet voice, and it is just
as finely trained.
Margaret Fealey is the whole
show" in Witches Hour and Can
die Light She is always a sue.
cess.
The moving pictures are a play
in themselves. The finest people in
the business posed for them. They
present fine drama in pictures.

BAD DAT FOR :.
i. ssCULLUD" FOLK

Frightened by the approach Of an
N. p. switch engine near the in.
tersection Of the tracks with d.
vision street Saturday afternoon
w. 8. Badger, a colored Pullman
car servant, out for a joy ride,
swayed his hired automobile too
hastily around the corner and was
thrown to the pavement with such
force that his left leg was broken.
Almost at the same time, little
Willie Seay, colored boy age 5
years. was run down by a street
car and his leg broken. Both were
brought into the emergency hos
pital at the city hall about the
same time. The little boy was
badly scratched and bruised about
the head and body, but so far it is
believed that he received no seri-
GUS internal injuries.

WASHINGTON

There Is novelty to the Scottish
singing and dancing act of the
Five Merry MacGregors, holding
headline honors at the Washington
this week. The songs and dances
of the highlands are given in a
way that makes the audience al.
most smell the heather, and the
scenic views accompanying add
much to the act. Jack McLallan
and May Carson appear in an elab-
orately staged roller skate act.
Florence Modena and company
have sketch along up to date
lines in "A Lesson in Reform"
Bisconete & Newman, comedy aero
bats, add their share to the en-
tertainment. and Flo Patterson
gives rendition Of some of the
old southern melodies. The pro-
gram concludes with new biograph
