IMPERSONATOR PLEASED
THOSE AT CHATAUQUA
Dickens Characters Faithfully Re-
produced.

| produced.
Galesburg Chautauqua patrons
were given.a great treat last even
ing in the program given them by
the famous 'Pickens Man" William
Sterling BATHS. Those who have
read Dickens works appreciated to
a greater extent the entertainment
| given by Mr.. BATHS while the young
er generation who have not read
his works were more than eager at
the close of the program to procure
| Dickens books right away and ac-
| quaint themselves with the fine old
| author. In his introduction the art
list first gave fine impersonation Of
the character of Charles Dickens.
1t was just as if the famous author
had suddenly come to life. Mr.. BATHS
develops each character and COM
pletes his costumes and makeups in
full view of his audience and at the
same time entertains them with de-
scription of the life and character
which he represents.
Captain Cutie, with his sailor hat
and uniform, put on especially for
the return of his little charges sweet
heart who had been lost at sea, was
the second character which elected
praise.
Mrs. Mackstinger was finely por-
trayed in the old dress, shawl, apron
and bonnet of a washwoman. His
characterization of the old woman
was splendid.
wilkins Macawber, noted for his
vocal pyrotechnics, was depicted with
his gaudy costume, red tie, fancy
waistcoat, brown suit and cane Uri-
all Heep, who was always so humble,
was one of the best characters shown.
Two scenes from "Oliver Twist"
with Bill Sykes, the burglar and rem
egade, were most dramatic. Rogue
Riderhood, the tramp, was splendid
ly gotten up.
Sam Weller, Pickwick's valet, in
his Old English riding costume,
brought forth applause as he sang
an old English song.
AS fitting finale to the evenings
first part of the program, Mr.. BATHS
entertained with the character, Lit
tie Nell's Grandfather, from the "Old
Curiosity Shop" His makeup was
especially fine and his portrayal of
two scenes with Little Nell was most
pathetic.
Mr.. BATHS has appeared in Gales
burg before and his many admirers
were not disappointed in his presen-
tation last evening. = Galesburg

WILLIAMSON TAKES
SECOND GAME
A Bad Decision Of Umpire Causes
Locals To Lose Pep
SHIELDS IN FINE SHAPE

Of all tie things that can kill
the pep Of a ball team there IS
nothing worse than a bad decision
by the umpire in the first inning,
especially at home plate. Such
was the case yesterday, when Y M
pire Stubbs called e. Johnson OF
Williamson safe at the plate, IN
an attempt to steal home, when
anyone could see that DepeW
touched him two feet off the
plate. several Of the team admit
,ing it.
With such a start Of one run
against the local organization
thought little. Of, but the decision
which was not even close killed
the life III the boys and William
ston added two more to the
bad before the game closed.
Cox pitching for the William
stonian> was at no time III a dan
gerous position except in the
fourth when Scotland Neck-Hob-
good forced across it slone tally
when kuyk singled and was sa-
crificed to second by Wood.
I.eftwich doubled to center scor-
mig Knyk. Pettway flew out to
left. AIlnton singled and Left
wich was caught at the plate try
ING to stretch it home.
Shields on the mound for the
home team aside from the first
inning was never in better shape,
allowing only six hits and fan
ming four.
Johnston, a new fielder had
two chances at flies and took
them both although his stick work
was not up to the mark.
Today Washington comes down
for two games and johnson will
probably face the visitors. He
Shut them out on their own
grounds four to nothing before.
The game will not start until
five o'clock because Of the Bap-
fist church service, so that all
may see the game.

Who Pays For 1t?

Some people have inquired whether the cost OF
advertising is not added to the cost of advertised
merchandise.
Large sums spent for advertising, and the
consumer some times questions whether, as usual,
it falls to his lot to pay the bill
Instances could be shown where advertising
added to the price of goods.
Many instances have been shown where adver-
tisng lowered the price of goods
In the long rum competition eliminates non
productive expenditure.
Manufacturers obviously do not give millions
of dollars through periods of years to publishers
because of love alone
Advertising is valuable aid in selling.
You remember the man who - if he had some
eggs would have some ham and eggs if he had
ham.
If Royal or Ivory, Victor Gold Dust could
sell goods at less cost without advertising, they
would rival the woodland violet and blush unad-
vertsed.
In the long haul, the cost of sound advertising
is absorbed by the economies in selling it effects,
