Honest, now, there amt so many
shows that come to town that anyone
of us would want to see more than
once, or mebbe twice, to be perticlller.
Most of us. as Slim himself says, want
a new pack and a fresh deal" but We
all are sure glad to see Slim, fat as
ever, onsar him, back again in our
midst, which same In this case is the
Newark Theatre. Folks are pretty well
acquainted with Slim n his whole
outfit, from the p~ianner to the ki-oot
that died of five aces, and while his
talk runs along about the same lines
as it used to, he is still dead on the
square, and he keeps you laughin' all
the time. He amt learned yet what
kind of a war a boodwar is, and he
don't use sandpaper free enough on
those freckles Of his, but he is ALFRED
handy with his gun (right-smart joke
that, md Buck Mckee knew he was a
pretty sick man when it was pointed
his way.
@pVe'd a Liked to; But Were Altered"
AND he (we're still talking about
SLIM looked so glum when Polly
turned him down and he said, Nobody
loves q fat mamie insists on that
yet-that we wanted to go right up and
slap him on the back and say, You're
all right, Slim, fat or thin" only there
were too blamed many Indians swoop-
in around. So we just set still, even
through that craokerjack fight with the
Apaches on the rocks. 1t looked just
like a ~story-book reads, and the
| women-folks got pale n trembled,
toe
OF course, you all know the story
how Dick Lane, who vas pledged to
splice with Echo Allen, and who was
supposed to "a been killed In the noun
tains, turns up alive on the very day
that echo was to marry that likely
chap, Jack Payson. Jack shooed him
off and accepted the $4,000 that Dick
owed him on some debt, and married
the girl without telling her the truth,
Then It crops up that an old neighbor
on a nearby ranch was pumped fun OF
lead and robbed of more than $4,000.
Buck Mckee did it, but drew Bud Lam
| into II and divided the cash. Pretty
| soon it got noised around that Jack
| had money, and he was finally Gus
| of the murder. Then he just had to
| tell Echo about it, right on her birth
day, too. and the boys had bought her
a pianner. and what did she do but
send him away to hunt up Dick. He
| thought she loved Dick better, and
when he found him in the desert, dying
| of thirst, he told him to go back to
her. and he would shoot himself. so
Echo would be free. But here is where
the Apaches came in, and they took
the shape of Fate and shot Dick. And,
| of course. Jack went back and found
out that Echo did low him best after
| all. Now, Slim does not seem to figure
| much in this narrative, but he was
| right there on the spot all the time
| and found out that Bud was going to
buy q house for Polly with the money
he got from the dead rancher, and did
j I9 go anu tel oliy ANOL iioN''. 80
took the money, but he gave Bud his
own $1,000 bank account and put Polly's
hand In his and wished them luck.
Echos just sweet; But PoIiy's a F1irt.
Slim was just fine. Everybody in the
| audience liked him and clapped like
everything when the curtain went
down, so they could see him some
more. Miss Echo had a sweet, pretty
voice, just as anyone ought to have
with a name like that. and we didn't
blame Jack for wanting her bad enough
to lie about 1t. But Miss Polly was a
| down-and-out firt, and, If h was en-
gagged to Bud, she certainly did lead
Slim on. The mountains over yonder
seemed pretty small, and they did have
an awful bright blue and red light
| but-well, we hope Slim comes back
again next year.
