DANCE NEXT SATURDAY All arrangements have been com- pleted for the holding of a social dance by the members of the Just Us club at Stoffel's hall next Saturday evening, May 17. By giving several very suc­ cessful leap year dances last year the -young ladies of the Just Us club have wonan excellent reputation as.enter­ tainers and the event next Saturday evening prpmises J to be just as enjoy­ able an'affair as the dances of last year. While this is too late for a leap year party, the girls have decided to hold die event to give the boys an opportu­ nity to return the favors that were shown them during leap year, so it's up to the boys to make good on this occasion. Walsh's Chicago orchestra, the same musical organization which assisted so much in making last year's dances so enjoyable, has again been engaged for this occasion and the young folks can rest assured, that the best in the way of music will be .at hand. Dancing will ' begin at 8:30 p. ,m., and tickets will be sold at 75 cents; spec­ tators, 25 cents.

The following officers were elected: Manager, H. L. Scott; captain, Ed. Tweed; secretary and treasurer, Jos. Schrers. An exciting game of baaebiall was pulled off at Ingleside Sunday, when the ingleside Stars defeated the Old- timers by a score of 28 to 27. "Doc Willey, wielder of the "pill shooter" and ^ exponent of the physic ball, pitched for the Oldtimers, but owing to strenuous social duties at Ingleside and Lake Villa and professional call at the Crocket farm, was unable to de velop proper form. However, he made a brave attempt. Baring his right arm to his elbow he delivered "spit" balls galore until the fifth inning, when he retired and was replaced by a Telay of three other pitchers. The opposing, teams will try "conclusions again next Sunday. The 8tru||Ii fer Prutll* ' Did you ever aspire for greater hon- orrthan your present vocation affords? Did you ever envy the eminence of your colleagues? The struggle for prestige is' universal, all prevailing, unceasing, and pervades the entire human race, the lower types usually alone seemingly content to pursue the even tenor of their ways without a de sire to evolute to a higher degree; ap­ parently reveling in a sense of per- lection from which there is no devia­ tion--the same functioii performed in the same manner for all the time. How different with the human race! From the time they are able to con­ ceive of life's complexities they are engaged in a constant struggle to sur­ pass their predecessors and eclipse their associates and drag from the pedestal of fame those who have al­ ready achieved greatness. The most plebeian individual, with mediocre tal­ ents, a mere intellectual pigmy, with­ out a single redeeming quality, will conceive an ideal of some description and endeavor to emulate the same, while those who have arrived at what is described as the apex of greatness by those below them, only bewail their fate and reiterate the intelligence to their less fortunate associates that they have only begun to acquire a meager sustenance from thfe fountain of knowl­ edge--have merely scratched the sur­ face, so to speak. Thus the struggle continues without abatement, with no signs of a let-up, and will continue, we presume, until life, liberty and the per- suit of happiness becomes one grand symphony of peace, contentment and unadulterated happiness. Celenfal Raepans The Colonial casino, one of the show places of Fox Lake, was ablaze with electric lights Saturday night, as a re- suit of the opening ball, moving pic­ ture and cabaret show. A series of twenty-five incandescent electrfc lights flashed forth from the south side of the building, parallel with the eaves, illuminating the lawn, while eight more blazed forth from the front of the building, and for good measure five additional bulbs shed their radiance in the vestibule. The dancing pavilion was decorated with flags and a huge Japanese um­ brella formed a dome in the center, while clusters of various colored lights shone down on the jewels and hair ornaments of the female contingent, causing their head gear to scintillate with the brilliance of crown diamonds. Branche's orchestra poured forth a volume of pleasing dance melodies that evoked a responsive movement on the part of devotees of the light fan­ tastic and shortly after the elliptical surface of the ball.room floor was cov­ ered with a whirling mass of terpsi- chorean artists, intent upon enjoying to the full extent the feast of pleasures so generously providedjjy the manage? ment. j" Between each dance G. McKissock, the noted cabaret entertainer, vocal­ ized very efficiently, the lyrics issuing from his internal regions, 'finding vent thru his vocal organs, passing on to his moijith where the words were bit­ ten off into proper lengths - and blown out into the surrounding atmosphere, disturbing the molecules and setting up a vibration that caressed the ear drums of the auditors in a pleasing manner, creating wild enthusiasm and terminating in yells for an encore, a request that was graciously responded to by the singer. The performance was repeated Sun­ day evening to an enthusiastic audience, with the exception of a change of pro gram for the "movies." Geo. Linn, the noted hlstftoiitc art­ ist, thespian and exponent- of tabloid drama, gave a theatre party and enter­ tained a number of friends at table No. 6, second row right, ably assisted by Captain Geo. Niggemeyer, who hast­ ily assembled a crew of volunteer bal- ladists of the "Larboard Watch" vari­ ety, who gave an impromptu rendition ofthe'song entitled "When I Dream of Old Erin," which called for addi­ tional refreshments, a request that was obeyed with alacrity by the alert wait­ er, who manipulated a tray at an angle of forty-five degrees. Thus was the season at the Colonial auspiciousfy opened and we will now have a plethora of "grand openings" until about June 15, when we will settle down to the regular routine of summer resort business. Manager Johnson is beautifying the grounds and setting out shade trees and is erecti nif a pergola the entire length of the building (160 feet) on the south side and later on he plans to build a dance pavilion 100 feet square.
