Madeleine Lucette Ryley's delightful
comedy Christopher Jr." which goos on
tour the coming season with Mr.. George
Backus in the title role, is entitled to
place of honor in the last fow years history
Of the American stage. The apathy ex-
listing in England a few years ago toward
American plays has now developed into
enthusiasm and to-day American plays
and actors are all the rage in the British
capital. The pioneer of the state of affairs
was certainly Madeleine Lucette's comedy
"Christopher Jr.," itpaved the way for
the tremendous welcome accorded Secret
Service" In England christopher Jr.'
was played under tho title of "Jedbary
.Jr.," and it duplicated its American sue
cess to the tune of atwo years run in
London and tho provinces. As may be
supposed the humCr of christopher Jr.,"
does not reflect the peculiarities OF any
particular class or locality. 1t concerns
people of evory day life and Its scenes
could be changed to any. civilized country
without losing any Of Its mrth, or its
charming sentiment. The tour will in.
cludo the principal cities of tho North, and
before the Holidays q southern trip will
be made, taking in New Orleans and the
Texas circuit.

boarded trolley car for Luttirler, and
marching down the public road headed
off the marching column Of Poles and
Huns. According to Martins story
when the strikers reached the line Of

which there are several, get clogged up
and should be kept clear of rank weeds,
grass and rubbish; this done. good rain
clears them out. These small ditches had
all with an exception or two been cleaned
out within ten days. A large ditch called
county ditch, into which these small
bitches discharge, has not been cleaned
out for some time, and has become slug
gish and If not attended 10 soon malaria
will be caused by the miasma arising from
prutescent vegetation The county thus,
its Levy court, Is responsible for the condf.
ton of this large drain. 1t Is to be hoped
the authorities will get move on and at
tend to this insanitary drain. The town
was clean and tho people appeared to ba
sal isfied with being stirred up. Population
about 400,
Pupils: Number who attend school about
100. School house Is frame, will be en-.
