The play deals with lift assean in small Indiana towns and is said to be one of strong morals and an interesting plot, enlightened by better dialogue than is usually found in the ordinary, run ot comedy dramas. It will be made notable by some pretty stage pictures and will be interpreted by a company of well known actresses and actors in their particular liue of work.

Mr. Nesbltt Scoville, who assumes the title role has at once jumped to the front rank of successful stars. Since its initial performance the play is said to have met with favor in allot the cities visited and will doubtless duplicate whatever measure of success it has had (elsewhere when it is seen here, Already many theatre parties are got ten up and this attraction promises to be one of the theatrical treatt of the season In Probate Court.

An unusually large attendance was at the opera house last night to wit ness the initial production of "A Country Kid." Tbe play is full of new features and the specialties are up to those presented by other companies of more elaborate pretentions.

The audience seemed to be particularly pleased with H. B. Whltaksr and Nebsit Scoville, although each one re ceived a share of the hearty applause given all through the play. The drama runs along tbe line of rural life and is well written and planned for tbe entertainment of a varied audience. There are humorous and serious events In the play suflicient to make it continually enjoyed through- out the entire evening.

Fair Cashier in Chicago Lunch Boom cquirM Skill by Tossing Cash Checks Into Aperture.

In a certain lunch room in the downtown section of. Chicago the young woman cashier disproves the oft repeated statement that a i lrl can't throw a stone and hit the side of a barn. ThU girl has acquired a wonderful precision in throwing cash check into a small aperture in the top. of the cash desk. There is a row of openings in tbe top board of the desk, one opening for each denomination of check that she bandies.

There ia probably a quarter inch of wood separating each aperture. When a patron of tbe room lays down his cash and his check the girl takes the check in' the palm of her hand and deftly fires it into the opening. The denomination of the cards is indicated by the color, ind she fires a red card into the red box every tlme. From the open money drawer in front of her to the row of openings the distance is over 12 inches. In many instances she makes a throw and drops the coin Into the proper apartment of the money drawer almost in the same motion.

The cards are thrown flat, not edgeways, as one might suppose. Letter clerks In the postofflce attain a wonderful proficiency in throwing letters, but they send them Into boxes with the edge cutting the air. The girl In the lunchroom fairly slams the pasteboard Into the proper holes, rarely, if ever, mining her mark. GERMAN WAR ON PHTHISIS Rules for the Guidance of the Vic tims of Tuberculosis Sent to State Department. Consular Clerk Murphy, of Frankfort, sends to the state department the "measures for preventing the spread of consumption" recommended by the city authorities.

Every consumptive and every person who coughs should take care that it Is received in 6pittoons or similar vessels containing water or, still better, chloride of lime or salt water. Such liquids prevent freezing and also the drinking of the water by animals. These cuspidors should be two Inches high and eight to ten inches In diameter. They should have smooth, slightly curved edges and should be made of smooth glass, porcelain, china or enameled Iron. They should contain water to a depth of four-fifths of an inch.

Ab the water evaoorates more should be added. The cuspidors should be cleansed daily with boiling water. Consumptives snouiu give especial attention to cleanliness. The sitting rooms and bedrooms of consumptives should have only such curtains, bed coverings and the like as can be easily" washed. There should be no carpets.

The entire floors of such rooms should be washed daily, and even In winter the rooms should be properly aired dally for at least one hour. Un cooked milk may become a transmitter II ml V. 1 1 OI consumpuou. me puuuv ia neuueu against its use. LIFE-SAVING DOGS OF WAR.

Excellent Test of Their Capabilities Given Before English Army at Wimbledon. An interesting demonstration of what dogs trained In ambulance service can An in war time in aid ot the wounded has been made at Wimbledon, England. Two highly trained dogs, one or tnem three Darts collie and one part Eskimo. and the other also collie with the same Btrfdn of retriever, took part In tne ex hibition. Round the dogs was Btrapped a sort of harness bearing the Red Cross had pa and fitted with Dockets on each side containing triangular bandages and round the neck hung a keg of spirits.

The members of the ambulance corps present proceeded to carry out a series of displays in which the dogs round men supposed to be wounded lying on the hpntii invisible to the spectators, and. hftvlne- found them, eave tongue. The hul anon then nicked ud the wounded man and completed the first aid, which by the dog's help he had been able to clve himself. Dogs trained lor this pur pose are in use in Herreroland, west Africa, with the German troops in we field, and there are also many with the Russian army in Manchuria. 4 i WANTS LLAMAS FOR RANCH Man Visits Zoo and Asks Many Ques tions Concerning the South' American AnimaL A visitor to the zoological garden a few days ago made so many and so pertinent inquiries about the llamas kept there that the curiosity of the keeper in charge of that particular part of the garden was aroused, says the Philadelphia Press.

He finally asked why the questions were being asked. The man. who refused to give his name, said thai; if he could get the animals at anything like a reasonable figure, he thought ol making the experiment of stocking his ranch in the west with them. From letters written to South American friends. he said, he had learned that he could probably get a sufficient number for the experiment at a cost ot not.

more than $30 each. As they are fairly good wool growers, he said that there ought to be more profit in them at this price than the same number of sheep. In his opin ion the fleece of the llama Is as good as that of the camel for manufacturing purposes. Obtained -from Elephants'' Graves.

Although it is necessary to note, a decline in tbe price of beef steers quite often, the general trend of the beef steer market ia upward, and piemimuma are 'surreptitiously paid immediately, on the heels ot each break, Buyers used the argu ment of a large run and lower prices at Chicago to good advantage last week, but the week closed with only a moderate loss of fifteen to twenty- fl ye applying to tbe medium kinds. Outside orders held the best cattle nearly' steady, and country buyers competed for the partly finish ed steers, holding theui up. The sumc conditions ruled yester day as on the previous Monday, 32,000 cattle at Chicago, light runs elsewhere, but the results were different.

Locally the 5000 entile were bought sieadv for the steers, strong for butcher slock, and today's market is almost a repetition of yester day's here. Top steers last week $5.50, top today $5 50, scattering sales are above $5.00, bulk (if sales $4,35 to $4-85 Demand is good here now, account of the S. fire at Chicago, and Morris buying, and this together with the shortness of cattle on feed iu Kansas and Mis souri, point to active and satisfactory River markets this spring. Cows and heifers are strong and some higher each day, and will no doubt sell well from this time forward, as thev do every winter. Good heifers sell at $4.00 to $4.50, fat cows $3.50 to $4.00, fair to good ones al $2.75 to $3.50.

Fat bulls are ten or fifteen cents lower than a' week ago, at $2.75 to $3.85. Feeders are steady with a week ago, stockers a shade lower. Feeders sell ut 3.50 to 4.35 for good onis, stockers $3 25 to $4.25. Stock she stuff sells at $2.00 to The hog market is very sensitive these Any given condition seldom holds good throughout a whole session of the market; for instance, today's market opened Jower, got strong, but findly closed barely steady.1. Top price today is $1.90, bulk of sales 4.

50 to pigs $3.90 to $4.10, light hogs up to $4.60 Better hogs are coming: now thou any time before this winter, and receipts are liberal, but packers evidently want the hogs, and steady to strong markets are looked for. The situation in the sheep market is as good as it could be, except that not enough stuff is coming to meet the demand. Prices this week are at the top, although tbe supply is much better than for several weeks. Some very good stuff is here today, and 7.50 was paid for native lambs, $7.00 to $7.40 for western' lambs, $6.25 to $6.50 for yearlings, $5.50 for wethers and $4.85 for western ewes. J.
