KALEIDOSCOPE KICK DANCED
AT MOVIE MAKERS BALL
Film Heroes and Heroines Bestow
Favors on Mere Spectators.

Favors on Mere Spectators.
Twas reel ball that took place last
night up at Horticultural Hall when the
Moving Picture Exhibitors League held
its third annual get-together dance and
gave mere persons a chance to rub ell
bows with the film heroines and heroes
whom most the year 1t admires from the
cost distance OF a chair in the picture
parlor.
Everybody who had 80 cents to- spend
was there; that Is to say, everybody who
had 30 cents and evening eostume. too.
Those who came In rainy-day attire re-
celved the cold shoulder from the door
keeper. the policeman who had received
his instructions, and Jay Emmanuel
chairman of the Entertainment Com
mittee.
OF the 1000 persons who danced. about
800 were inhabitants of the movie world
The rest would like to- have been, but
contented themselves with dancing with
their favorites, who showed much gra-
clousness and condescension in the dis
tribution OF their favors.
The fox trot. the lulu fado and the
Kaleidoscope kick were danced. The
Kaleidoscope kick has not been univer-
sally adopted as yet In fact, It was
HdIlsu eNleHpoIaneously Dy an alhtera-
tive and facetiously inclined onloolSer,
who had never seen anything like It
before Briefly, 1t was a cross between
the circular whlrl OF Adeline Genee's
ballet and the slow. sinuous, serpentine
of Ruth st. Denis. The dance
was known only to a chosen few, but II
the enYious glances of the ignorant ones
may be interpreted as meaning anything,
there's going TO be a raid on the dancing
masters OF the city today for instructions
In the Kaleidoscope kick.
Despite the fact that Mary Pickford,
Cissy Lotus and other out-of-town favor
ties sent regrets, many familiar faces
were seen. At midnight OrmI Hawley
and Romaine Fielding, of the Lubin Com |
pany, led the grand march and the reel |
festivities began.

The Henry County Elephant

Henry County is largely composed of New
Castle. New Castle is famous as the home of
roses Maxwell motor cars and the C. O. P It's
citizens are a slow and cautious people who burn
much incense on the shrine of the "God-of thngs-
as-they-are.' Standpatism is their religion. The
grand old elephant is their sacred beast.
This ancient and royal animal has been much
perturbed these last two years. He has been
hopping about and trumpeting much. But he
has been able to sing but refrain, 90! Bull
Moosers, return ye unto Prodigals come
home. We will kill the fatted moose calf and all
rejoice together
That the prodigals were painting for their pa
ternal mansion taken for granted. Have
they not been much smitten with homesickness! ~
exclams the New Castle Courier with copious
lachrymal exudings. "Behold in Wayne County,
that far off Egypt where they have fled they
have fallen away with much repining! In the re-
cent Bull Moose primary there the erstwhile vote
fell away one half. Does not that signify they
grow weary of Bull Moose leeks and onions? %
But now the G. O. P of Henry County has
had primary of it's and 10, in spite of the
help of two hundred sympathetic Democrats, it
has fallen off in it's vote a thousand. All of
which has made the Henry County elephant
trumpet louder than ever, not with pleadings not
with calls to the prodigals, but with pain. What
can poor old elephant do that has lost third
lot his vertebrae?
If falling off of the vote in primary cleo
ton were certain symptom of fatal disease the
standpat party itself would have been dead doz-
en- times.
The standpatters want the Bull Moosers to
return-a graveyard? And from what shall they
return? Have their principles been exploded and
discarded?
lime alone can reveal whether the present
Bull Moose organization will survive Time only
can show whether its present leaders are fitted
for their job but thing is certain, the struc-
tural principles on which the Progressive Party
Is built will never fail. They are 2art of the
scheme of progress. Progressive parties may
come and go, but progressivism goes on forever
1t will do the grand old elephant no good to
kick against the pricks He is marching straight
to limbo and all his tears and trumpetings cannot
save him.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease and pre-
scrbed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials.

THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE

I'VE have been using Chamberlain
Cough Remedy for the past month and
consider it an indispensable. Its ef-
feet is almost instantaneous, and there
is no use talking, it is a dead shot on
cough or cold. We do not say this
for pay but because We consider Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy the best
made. and want the people to know it
and use columbus Safeguard, Co
lumbus Junction, Iowa. The above edi-
itorial appeared in the Columbus Safe
guard almost forty years ago. At that
time the sale and use of Chamberlain $
Cough Remedy was confined to a few
counties in Iowa. 1t now enjoys
world wide reputation and many thou
sands have testified to its excellence.
For sale by all dealers.
