ONE NEW WORD
A DAY COUNTS
Study the Electromagnetic
Offer Still! Open.

To the ordinary buyer a book Is
just a book. If it be the average
novel of today, one may agree with
the lady who buys only the books
that are bound in blue without any
consideration for the text.
Not that all modern fiction is bad,
but, as the fellow said of fountain
pens, most of them are worse than
others.
The famous Hoe library sale
caused the Indifferent public to stop
and take some notice. Several of
the Hoe volumes brought prices
away up into the thousands of dol
lars and the Gutenberg Bible from
this wonderful library brought the
record price, $4,000. So the av-
erage buyer and reader of everyday
books is wondering If the prices OF
books are going UP with the cost OF
living.
1t now appears that q question
arises as to the genuineness of some
of the Hoe books. Experts do not
all agree that they are originals.
This should be of slight conse-
quence to those that have paid their
thousands o them. Such BOOKS
are not bought for their text mat
ter. Even though they be not gen
uine, they are rare" and as it is
this feature that is sought by collec-
tors, p~ossessors of these rare vol
umes should be satisfied.
1t is the ordinary buyer of books
that must be careful and guard
against counterfeits. The NEWS
is distributing Webster's New
Standard Dictionary, illustrated
The object is to put an authentic
and authoritative reference book
into every home, reached by the the
EVENING NEWS to encourage edu-
cation. AS there r dictionaries
on the market that are not all they
claim to be, 1t behooves the average
book buyer to be careful. There il
only one way to get this wonderful
book offered by the NEWS, which il
explained under the dictionary cou
pom on another page. 1t will be
wise to clip that coupon today and

LARGE CROWD
AT The BlJOU
Golden Giant Mine
Proves Big Success.

1.-THE Golden Giant Nine" written
by the celebrated actor and author,
Mckee Rankin, was given a good
presentation by the Miller Stock
Company at the Bijou Monday night.
The play Is not SO strong In comedy,
though there are plenty OF chances
to laugh, but its strength is In It's
human interest, its actual flesh and
blood characters that seem to a
and do the real things Of life.
Miss Madge Haller, as the wild,
mischevious Bess, was excellent and
her portrayal brought out all the
lights and shades OF the character.
Another fine piece of work was done
by Mr.. La Sale as Alec, the Golden
Giant" with q personality that suit
ed the part, he read his lines with
care and force and scored a hit from
first to last. Marie Harcourt, as the
Irish landlady, had most of the com
edy and brought 1t out in her usual
vigorous and effective style. Miss
Vera Fulcher, as the wronged wife,
was sympathetic and played the part
very well indeed. Mr.. Petit was a
good Jack Mason and MI. 0'Connor
quite effective as Jim Bixby, the out
cast.
In fact the play was well given
and everyone made the most OF the
characters assigned them. Although
It ran until nearly IL O'Clock TIE
audience did not move, but kept
silent SO as not to miss a word, so
thoroughly did the play interest
them. 1t will be given all week With
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
The managers announce that next
Monday night will be souvenir night,
and that each lady attending Will be
presented with a picture OF MISS
IHaller. The play for next week will
be "Red River" a story of the Lou
lisiana cane plantations.

FREDDIE BACK
ON JOB AGAIN
Says This Weeks Show at
Proctor's is Great.


You can't lose me--Im on the job
again with bells going. Gee I'm sor~
ry l missed that show at Proctor's
theatre last week for they tell ME
that that singing act Just made
things hum. But say, | don't think
after all its got SO much on the show
this week. for its some show, believe
me.
The first act I caught was sid
Frankie, a mud slinger-or / should
sal, clay modeler $50 careless OF mel
and what he does to that mud-fIa
beg YOU Particularly, Is simply
stunning. He can make the dandfest
faces and shapes that look like the
real thing. Its me for home and
mud pies after this write up. But
honest, he sure is q wonder. The
face he made of Jack johnson after
his next fight, showing how he would
look IL he got licked was a corker.
Carrie Lee is some singer-sho
sings four very classy songs-and
gee, you ought to see the dresses She
wears with them-peaches!
If you want to laugh you ought
to see Latel and Company, jugglers-
IlGY nave got more iuttHS stllAeS II
a minute than any other act in a
month of Sundays. | couldn't be-
gin to tell you all they do, but every
move Is a laugh-and they are some
jugglers, too. gee he puts seven
hats on a see-saw and catches EN- all
at once on a rack. Some stunt.
Moore and St. Clair, are fine. The
girl sure can hand out the CAB, and
when the fellow starts In too there
Is some fun. It's a mighty classy
little act all right, and kept the
house laughing all the time.
The sketch, THE Old Folks at
Home" with Lee Baggs & Co, was
one OF the best I've seen In a long
time. It's about an old couple that
never have scrapped, but they get q
letter from their daughter that she
going to get a divorce, and Is coming
home. Well, the old folks make ont
they are scrapping to give her q les
son, and they are hitting 1t up good
and proper when the daughter

DYING CONDITION
Charles II. Billings, Suffer.
ing from Bright's Dis
ease, in Serious Shape.

Charles III. Billings, of the Arm of
Billings & Stanton, Hammond and Gary
insurance men IS slowly dying at st.
Margaret's hospital in Hammond. Re-
peated efforts on the part OF the sisters
TO secure some information regarding
his family and other relatives has
proven unavailing.
Billings would only say: "They are
well cared for Why should I bother
them with my troubles" And so from
condition of extreme weakness he
has become delirious and recently has
been unconscious much of the time
1t is believed that the end is very
near. Some time ago he was taken
with Bright's disease and he has never
been able to rally from the attack
Billings will be missed in Hammond
where he was quite a figure. He was
prominent in the Hammond Athletic
Club where he was elected director
1t is understood that at one time he
was a wealthy man but reverses came.
