BEST BILL OF
SEASON GIVEN
AT PROCTOR'S

An array of vaudeville that would
c%reditably comprise a bill at any of
the leading New York variety"
houses Is a mild way. to describe the
bill which began at Proctor's theatre
in this city Thursday afternoon and
which will conclude at the second
performance tonight. The three acts
are high class in every respect and
the prolonged applause after each
is conclusive proof that they please
the large audiences that attend.
Daring and skill are features of
the big act on the bill, Bessie Val
dare and her pony cyclists. These
six young ladies do stunts on wheels
that are amazing and some of their
tricks are entirely new to the To-
cal stage. The ponies" are all
comely and besides riding ensemble,
do some individual feats of skill.
Charles Brown and May Newman
have an act that is a winner. While
it is a "try-out" here. it score heav-
lily and is both novel and original.
Both are some" singers and Char
lie" can dance a few. He is a sec
ond George Cohan, and incidental
ly it might be stated that he played
the lead" in Little Johnny
JONES'" and "Forty-Five Minutes
From Broadway two of Mr.. Co
hans plays, when they were reign
ing -successes. From a critics
standpoint, the act is the best on the
program.
Master Melville, a juvenile charac-
ter comedian. Is q feature and gets
plenty of applause, This little ras-
cal appears as a little girl and only
for the word Master" on the stage
card few would know the difference,
He is c~oquettish and has a good
voice for such a tiny fellow.
Latest motion Aims are shown at
the beginning and end OF every per-
Torrance and are an added attrac-
ton. Another feature of the the
atre is the courteous treatment ten
dered all patrons by its attaches and
the clockwork way in which the
house is run.

no one seemed to take advantage of
it, / entered the five and tn cent
store, where / purchased some SOU

this more to acquaint myself with
the place for this afternoons ap-
pointment. / surely was well pleased
with the courteous treatment l re-
ceived while in this store. as the
saleslady was so polite and nothing
seemed too much trouble for her.
THE people surely have an adj
vantage by visiting this up-to-date
place, where one can get some of
the best bargains i have seen for a
long time. Everything is marked
in plain figures and the prices are
surely amazingly low. Why, have
visited quite a number of the lar
ger cities, but the prices of the Fos-
ter store are nothing compared
with some of the stores 1 have Wis
tied in other cities. 1t surely should
entice one to do home shopping.

CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL -
THE HEROIC IN LIFE.
~ WILLIAM n. BANptN.

thkH tkfNatoto IN LII
We are so accustomed to looking
for the heroic in large setting that
not infrequently We miss seeing 1t
altogether. Every battle has its
hero, and the pages of history are
Sprinkled with the names of men OF
every age and every people who
have played the title role. But
peace offers her quota of heroes
also, who play none the less 81 real,
If a less striking, part.
Among the latter class of heroes
are physicians, of city, village and
country. Those who have read Ian
Mac Laren's "a Doctor of the Old
School," will not readily forget the
character of DIR. Mac Lure. He has
his counterpart in almost every
community, those who silently per-
form we'll their duty, and who finch
not when called upon in a grave
emergency.
Today We turn to our newspapers
for annals. What is recorded there
in is always historic, and sometimes
becomes history. One of our large
metropolitan dailies last spring de-
voted two inches in relating the
death of a Chicago physician, How
ard T. Ricketts, by name. Referring
to him as a martyr of science, 1t re-
lated how, as a member of the fac
ulty of the University of Chicago,
he was stricken with typhus fever
while studying the disease for the
purpose of finding a remedy for 1t
and a means of preventing conta-
gion. He was in Mexico at the time,
at the capital city. AS he was re-
covering from the attack of fever,
spinal meningitis developed, and he
passed away. That man was a hero.
Years ago, and not so many at
that, operations upon the human
body were ~resorted to as a sort of
forlorn hope. Everything else
known was first tried; as a matter
of life Or death, an operation was
then recommended. While. we may
have grown away from those days,
still it is hardly imaginable thai we
like to be operated upon any more
than formerly. While We may be
assured that ninety per cent. of GER
tain cases recover, We fear lest we
may be among the other ten per
cent. Do we realize that the operat-
ing surgeon in many instances runs
as grave a danger as his patient?
Of course, this has also been very
much minimized; but still it is
there, as many a physician a tes-
tify, to his sorrow.
The Good Book says honor to
whom honor Is due" The trouble
is that We take too many things for
granted. In our search for the start
lingly great things We are not I'M
likely to miss the really great. An
easy illustration of this is afforded
any clear evening, when by simply
lifting your eyes to the heavens you
may gaze upon and contemplate the
most magnificent panorama spread
before the eyes of man.

The conditions of the capture of
Elusive Lucy" and the reward
which will be given by the EVEN
ING NEWS, are as follows: IL the
captor shows Elusive Lucy at the

six months subscription to the
EVENING NEWS, the receipt to be
dated since August list, 1910, $50.

% the time of identification, a con
of the EVENING NEWS not more

How She Must Be SaIuted.
ELUSIVE Lucy will recognize but
one form of salutation, which is:
Pardon me, you r the 'mysteri-
GUS Elusive Lucy of the Perth Am

ask you to accompany her to the
NEWS office, where the reward will
be paid.
Now here is a chance for some
shrewd person to display cl~everness
and at the same time secure a prize
which will be well worth while.
Miss Lucy will positively not rec
ognize any one OBTAINING her any
length of time in order to obtain a
copy of the EVENING NEWS or any
n in any way whatsoever who
stops her longer than a reasonable
period to repeat the salutation cor
rectly. So always be sure and carry
a copy of the EVENING NEWS with
you at all times, as you can never
tell when you will meet the mystic
! rious little lady. 1t must be distinct
ly understood that ELUSIVE
Lucy" will IMMEDIATELY AID
NIT HER IDENTITY. IF CORRECT
LY SALUTED. There will be no
need of holding her at any time, nor
will she recognize any one who
forces himself or herself whatever
place she may barricade herself.
The winner must be a bona fide
resident of Perth Amboy or the i'm
mediate territory where the EVEN
ING NEWS circulates..
