AT THE PLAYHOUSE

Box Office indications point to a
brilliant and highly successful en-
gagement for Friday and Saturday,
February 9th and 7th and Saturday
matinee, when Robert B. Mantell's
splendid Shakespearean company
will appear at the Playhouse, Will
mingtOn in a round of the classics.
Mr.. Mantell will be assisted by that
talented actress, Miss Genevieve
Hamper, and a well seasoned cast,
all of whom have attained profess
siOnal distinction. The engagement
is for two days only, and the reper-
tOire of plays announced for presen-
tatiOn is "Richelieu," Friday night;
"As You Like It," Saturday after
noon, and Merchant of Venice"
Saturday night. We take this Occa-
sion to say that there is not much
about these immortal plays that is
new, but the presentation of them
differs widely, according to the abil--
tiles, experiences and means of the
different producers. Mr.. Mantell is
almost an annual visitor to Whining
ton, for year after year he tours the
country and gives to the public the
best he has to give-there are few
who can give so much and grateful
audiences receive him and wonder
again at the wizardry of his imper-
sonations. AS for Miss Hamper, she
is young, she is beautiful, she is
graceful and she is highly intelli-
gent, with a personality that gets
over the fOotlights in whichever
role she is playing. She is popular
ly hailed as "that fascinating hero
inc of the classics"

FAMOUS FORTS
INU. S. HISTORY
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
1t Kept the Northwest Under
Our Flag

OuF lag
One February day in 1879 the Brit
ish flag was hauled down from above
Fort Sackville on the Wabash river
in Indiana. George Rogers Clark had
won the old Northwest for the United
States. One August day in 1918, an
army advancing under the English
banner against Fort Stephenson on
the Sandusky river in Ohio reeled back
in defeat before the Withering fire
of its garrison of Kentucky rihemen.
George CrOghan, a nephew of George
Rogers Clark, had saved the old North
west for the United States.
Fort Stephenson barely deserves the
name of fort at all. It was only a
stOckade built at the head of navi-
cation on the Sandusky river, but it
was important because 1t commanded
the approach to two important bases
of supplies for Harrison's army in the
War of 1872.
When General Proctor with 600
British regulars, accompanied by 5000
Indians under Tecumseh, appeared in
northern Ohio, Gen. William Henry
Harrison ordered Capt. George CrOg-
han to evacuate this post. But Crog-
han believed that with his force of
100 men he could hold it against Proc
tor, and his confidence was shared by
his six youthful subalterns, none of
them more than twenty-One years of
age. Harrison reluctantly gave his
permission for the attempt to be made
and Croghan set to work to strengthen
the old fort as much as possible.
He had only one piece of artillery,
little six-pOunder, which the sol
der affectionately called "Old Bess,"
and when Proctor appeared before the
fort with a force of 1900 Indians and
regulars and some heavy artillery, a
successful defense seemed hopeless.
But Croghan refused PrOctor's sum-
mons to surrender and was not even
frightened at the Briton's threat that
he might not be able to control his
Indians If he had to storm the fort.
After bombarding the fort all night
Proctor sent a stOrming party of 300
men against the walls and although
CrOghan's men met the attackers with
a deadly rifle fire, they came on
bravely. Just as they sprang into the
ditch surrounding the fort, a masked
portfolio was thrown open in one Of
the blOckhOuses and "Old Bess"
poured out a veritable blast of death
upon the British. That proved the de
Gliding stroke in the battle. Proctor
retreated precipltately. The American
supply depots were saved, Ohio was
spared the horrors of an invasion by
the Indians and historians generally
agree that the successful defense Of
Fort Stephenson saved the Northwest.

Oddly Marked Stone
May ProUe of Value

A rather broad claim is being made
for the Leopard stone quarry, in Davie
county, as the only stone deposit Of
the kind in the world" The leopard
stone, or leopardite, as named by the
biologists, was discovered on the
Phifer property, in the Belmont sec
ton, years ago, and the government
has at frequent intervals sent agents
to get samples of the stone. 1t is Il
species of granite marked with black
spots, suggesting the leopard.

value, then we might expect develop
