primarily the cau-;e for the atti
tude of the public in Its patronage of
the big theaters. Si ilping of tickets
permitted by the th atres in the big cities is another evli which has cost tho business dearly. People declina
to go to a box office t o weeks before
an attraction in dry to be told that
the best seats in ihe house are sold
and then to find u day or two before or even on the first night of the bill
in that city .that it is possible by
paying a premium to get the very choicest seats. These and many other
attendant evils are responsible for the
transfer of patronage to the photoplay houses and lower-priced vaudeville. It is not necessary to go out of Lake countv for nronf of this. Where
en people went to Chicago theatres
five years ago only one or two go to
day. Suburban trains have actually been taken off and it is a fact that
there are thousands upon thousands of dollars a year let at home, now that formerly went to Chicago. This paper carried statistics recently to show that $3,500 per week was spent in Hammond theatres now where In the past $350" would have been a big
figure.
And the greedy theatrical trust
with its attendant barnacles has no
body but itself to blame.
THE LAZY MAN. Why wasn't his salary raised? He came into the office like a snail. He left the ofSce like a greyhound. He never offered to work nights. He always ate when he was. hungry, i He always rested when he was tired. He telephoned to his friends during business hours. ' - He didn't know whether he was saving money for the firm or not. He didn't dress neatly, and yet he was always afraid of soiling his clothes. He trusted mail to the office boy
instead of putting it into the box
himself. He sealed up envelopes before th letters had been signed.
, He did not try to read up on sub
ject connected with his business.
He never gave his employer any excuse to raise his salary .because ha

paid for.

District Attorney Pelletier, cf Boston, still professes to be confident he will succeed in convicting Rev. Clarence Richeson, Cambridge minister indicted for the murder by poisoning of Avis Linnell. despite declarations that Richeson's attorneys have in their possesion a letter written to Richeson by the girl, threatening to take poison unless he married her. Pelletier. in his preliminary work, confers often with Mrs. Kd&ar Linnell. mother of the dead Avis Linnell. It was her testimony in the grand Jury room, it is said, that influenced the jurymen to return an indictment against the preacher.

LITTLE THEATER REIGNS.
The theatrical trust is wondering how it happened. The big theatres
deplore the lack of business and
patronage and the dramatic octopus Is scratching its pate trying to figure
out the why and the wherefore. In this connection the New York World
says with much pertinency: While theatre managers attribute t'ne loss of patronage to the cheap competition of blograph and phonograph, the public" is not likely to agree with them. The big theatrical syndicates have committed the trlpl error of overdoing the star business, doing It badly and charging too much for it. Big rewards repaid the ingenuity of the managers who invented the system f putting a play on in New Tork, advertising It extensively and then sending out half a dozen companies to play It through tha south and west. But while they got cream, those that follow find skim rnllk. The provinces have grown wise. There will be a revival of dramatic patronage in the country when there is a revival of dramatic patronage In the country when there is a revival of drama worth patronising.
People have indeed grown wiser.
The theatrical business is no longe

what it will never be again. The out

"THREE LEGGED CASE ENDS. Judgo Tillett ' of Peru ha3 rendered his decision in the case of Alongo C. Burns vs. the American Express Company and the Indiana Artificial Limb Company, of Indianapolis, favoring the plaintiff. Burns had returned his artificial leg to the Indianapolis company for repairs, and when the Teg was returned to him there were extra charges which Burns contended were not according to contract. Ho refused to pay, and the express company returned the leg to the Indianapolis company, thus causing the plaintiff much inconvenience. Th case was called the "threelegged case" as the plaintiff, the artificial limb company's representative and the stenographer in the case each possessed only one leg- Sheriff Hostctler hard three legs, as he held in custody the one over which the . controversy arose DIDT I.IKE A Ml'MlE.
