WEEP WITH WESTvILLE.

s. S. Mcclure, editor of McClure's,
whose boybood was spent in these
parts, states in his autobiography
now running in his magazine that in
early youth he went into the ro-
mantle wilds Of Laporte county and
opened butcher shop at Westville.
And he closed it very shortly be-
cause most of his customers were
deadbeats.
With this piece Of belated revenge
hurled at the region SO famous for
its applejack the world will not rest
until the editor of the Westville Vim
dicator rushes to the front to vindi-
cate the name of his fair hamlet
Westville's reputation demands it:
and what's more every butcher IN
town is likely to get suspicious.

THE OUTING CLUB.

i. Judging from the announcement
that Gary has a new organization
called the Outing Club and that it
will have series of Saturday after
noon walking excursions into the
sand dune country the people at
home are waking up TO local posi-
bilities that for a quarter of a CEN
fury have attracted Chicago outdoor
lovers. Our Indiana sand dunes are
unique. Their scenic advantages
have no parallel in this country; for
here, side by side, grows the fauna
and the fora of the Arizona and
Utah deserts. The dunes of Caro-
lima, Massachusetts or those of North
Germany has no greater beauty than
the sand hills of northern Indiana.
Here is nature untouched and nature
in one of her strangest moods. There
is too little walking and too much
auto riding in these extravagant
days. Walking is the most health
giving pastime there is. There ought
to be an outing club in every town
and city in the county. What has
become of all those boy scout hikes
SO common last year?

THE PLAZA
Rx the Plaza Press Agent )

Each succeeding week a brighter and better vaudeville bill appears to be the aim of the management, and taking the program the last three days of this week as a criterion, the patrons of the popular Plaza theatre are more than getting their moneys worth Only the booking facilities of the circuit make it possible to pro- cure stupendous headliners like Elm melt Welch and his company of ten people in a production termed Dark town Melodia'' which delighted large audiences at the performances yester-' day. This is one of the most preten- tious productions seen on any vaude- vile stage seven different scenes re- quiring a car load of special scenery being utilized. Emmett Welch him. self is possessed with one of the most pleasing personalities and the style in which he sings his songs is rare pleasure. The darkies who support him are not of the mediocre brand to be seen in minstrel organizations but each one is finished artist. Catchy music and ninble dancing run throughout the offering.
 Second in importance on this pleas ing bill is a, sweet voiced young girl, one Mae Francis. If some big mus1- cal comedy producer does not steal her in the near future 1t will not be Miss Francis fault. She is winsome, wears most stunning gowns and the songs in her repertoire could not De improved upon. Chas. Buckley and Co. in a side-splittfng sketch was the laughing hit of the bill. Kelly and Judge in a comedy acrobatic special ty held the attention of the large au- dience From an artistic standpoint nothing better has been seen here than Wichmann, clay worker. An other cast on the bill who also came in for a good. share of the applause was Hurbert & Willin in a blackface oddity. The pictures could not be improved upon.

|IVE miles back, on the road along H which the fugidves had come,
 two men on horseback were gal
 loping swiftly in pursuit. One was tall, with cool gray blue eyes un- der shaggy brows, gray hair, white mustache and an old fashioned impe- rial. His seat in the saddle was that of a seasoned cavalryman. The other was small, wiry, with a smooth shaven, hardset face, a mouth like steel trap, cold hazel eyes that kept themselves fixed on the road ahead.

 ''No, colonel, they ain't,'' returned the other. Not till they come to the old dirt road that leads to the cabin I told you about. That's where they're headin' for, Colonel Todhunter, and it's where we're goin' to run upon 'em. We'll be there pretty soon too.''
 Colonel Todhunter's face was grim. "I hate to think of Lottie-May Dog gett!'' he spoke. Its mighty bad, mighty bad, suh. I feel that sorry for poor old Rafe Doggett. Lord, Lord, the shame of it all is a-go1n' to kill that good old manr'

ENTERTAINMENTS THEATRICAL GOSSIP

(By the PoH Press Agent.)

Bridgeport thearegoers are now yed-in-the-wool talking picture fans Just as the motion picture has claimed a clientele Of thousands in this city, so has the Edison Kinet- ophone, or talking pictures, captured the hearts and minds of folks here. The latest and greatest invention of by the ears in it's few days presenta,- tion at the handsome Poli theatre, and already folks are clamoring for more. If MT.

FOX'S ARTISTIC BILL
 PLEASES WELL AT LYRIC

The weekend bill for the Fox Lyric Theatre which came on the boards in Bridgeport yesterday afternoon and evening, presented an attraction such as not yet been given in this cozy theatre. As a, counterfeit to the first half of the week it may be compared as the sun-kissed orange to the juicy uectarine of tropical growth.
 In fact, the similie is particularly fit as the oriental pantomime and symbolic dance of Beatrice Harlow. amidst the splendor and incense of the East, in an artistic harmony of mo- ton and sincrosity only equaIled on the American stage by "Raja.h.'' With the form of a Tanguay and the sylph- like agility of a Genee, in the semi gloom of the mystic altar-light bare limbs tend to heighten the illusion her graceful and 1.-the gyrations, well supported by a, company of two, sug- gest. The effect while daring is con sonant and altrudstic in the extreme.
 Lordy's trained dogs, displaying many new as well as old tricks with out vissbIe guidance, show an intellf- gence rare in animal acts, diVerting the older as well as the younger gene ration. They will be greatly appre- ciated by children whose love of the domestic animal is ever uppermost.
 Gertie Everett, a little comedienne who first appears in a modish cos tune of gray and green, later making a couple of transitional changes to juvenile roles, puts across with aban- don several catchy topical songs which are illustrative of the trials of the actress, and won her merited ap- plause.
 Louis Hartman and Company gave a banging, b1usterous sketch entitled ing rapid fire dialogue well broken by the Cowboy and the Lady, introduc- a popular song. They secured a num- Der of laughs and an encore on their performance.
 As two black face minstre1s, Mona han and Monahan have got to be handed the Fox palm. The act is particularly unique in that one of the comedians is a woman, yet a regular fellow when it comes to crossing the cake over the line. Their chatter was timely and puts them pleasingly before the audience.
 Several pictures, new, well displayed, and embracing both instructive, TO- mantle, and comfcal subjects, are well received. Of especial note from a scentific point is that film showing the birth and all stages of life of the fa- nous deaths head moth.
