WILD BABOONS,
An Incident Which Illustrates tn
 Caution of the Animals.

An Incident Which Illustrates the
 Caution of the Animals.
 One of the farm boys drew our at- tention to what seemed little more than a couple of dark specks on the slope of the hills to the right, but we could soon see that they were moving, and when they came within half
 mile of us we could distinctly recog- nize them as herd of baboons.
 The boy said that he was quite sure they were on their way to water, but, to our surprise, they did not make any advance. A quarter of an hour elapsed, half an hour; still no sign of their ap-' proach. All at once, as if they had started from the earth by magic, at the open end of the pond, not sixty yards from our place of ambush, stood two huge males.
 When or how they got there no one could tell. Probably they had come by a circuitous way through the valley. or it might be that they had crept straight down through the grass. They had certainly eluded our observa- tion.
 Being anxious to watch the move- ments of the animals and to ascertain whether they belonged to the herd playing under the mimosas. refrain. ed from firing and determined to see what wou1 follow next. Both balloons sprang toward the water, and, leaning down, they drank till they were satis- fled. Then, having gTavely stretched themselves, they solenrnly stalked away on all fours in the direction of the herd. There was little doubt, there- fore, that they belonged to the herd and had been sent forward to recon- hotter, for as soon as they got back the entire herd put itseH in motion to- ward the pond.
 There were mothers taking care of little ones; there were half grown ani- mals, the boys and girls of the com pany. At first only one baboon at time came to the waters edge and, hay ing taken its draft, retired to the rest, but when about ten had thus ventured separately they began to come in small groups, leaving the others roll- ing and jumping on the sand.-Youth's Companion.

AN ECONOMICAL EMPEROR.

The Kaiser is popularly supposed to be economical. but it is not generally known that he pushes his principles of economy to absolute niggardliness.. It will be remembered that he visited Constantinople some time ago. and was received with unexampled magnifi- cence and inundated with handsome presents. During his stay in the Otto- man capital the emperor's aide-de- camp was instructed by his imperial master to distribute such gifts as were usual among the servants attached to his person. He offered the equivalent of four shillings to the head coachman. The latter, without moments hesi- tation, returned it. Thanks" he said, T am not thirstY."AT. A, T.

"THB LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR

1.-THE LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR"
 "The Lightning Conductor took 8 small audience at the Hyperion last night on a much abbreviated tour of the continent, and left them in a cafe in Tours without even penetrating in- to sunny Italy. A good many people who read the clever, up-to-date sketch of the doings of an interested young man and woman in an automobile that was only a little short of human, said to have been an advertisement of thIs same automobile were puzzled to know how any adapter could givethe story stage legs. They are still puzzled. The play has very little of the charm of the book, and only some very good acting on the part of Herbert Kelcey and Fife Shannon made 1t move at all. Miss Shannon as Mary Randolph was piquant and pretty, and more than half the ammunition of the play. MT. Kelcey, while an excellent actor, hard ly conforms to the Williamson idea of young and romantic Englishman, who is willing to play the part of mechanic for the pleasure of sitting dUeSlQS d pretty AIIl6E1CSbn, MlSS 0etTdn McVicker made a good chaperon to Molly. The only other character of im- portance was that of Tallyrand, the French chauffeur, played by Edward Durand. In the book Tallyrand ends in the duck pond, where he was uncere- moniousiy ehucked by the able bodied Winston, but in the play he is a feeble sort of a villain through to the end. Mr Durand made the most of the part.
 There were several pretty scenes in the play, particularly the one from the top of the chateau in Bois The much talked of touring cars and mechan- ical effects, which were to make the audience believe they really saw a speedy machine were not particularly exciting. The automobile was there in truth, and it was madeto fly along the roads between Paris and Dieppe in the same old way, with moving scenery not exceptionally well done.
 The play is clean and wholesome, but not one to set the river flaming.

New Haven S'heuter.

The attraction at the New Haven theater the last three days of this week and at the Saturday matinee wiIl be Charles E. Blaney's great play, ''Child Slaves of New York;
 From the first scene in, the Child Slaves of New York" the audience will gaze upon g. scene which has tax ed the genius of the scenic artist, and the ingenuity of the stage mechanic. The scene is laid in the gold regions of Alaska, and shows the snow. clad mountains of Mt. Elias, rising peak on peak, bathed in the shimmering and mysterious glow of the ever changing lights of the Aurora Borealis, ones in terest does not falter, one does not stop to question probability, plauslbility or anything else. For the time it is a reality so vivid that 1t carries the spectator along without volition.
 But this is by no means the only feature of the play. The audience is quickly transported to the heart of the Metropolis to its picturesque but dingy river front; the light of the rising moon but indistinctly shows. the dark outlines of an immense grain elevator, in the shadows of the famous Brooklyn bridge, rearing its massive bulk above the rippling waters; all is quiet and the splash of the river and the whistle of passing steamer alone break the stiffness. The elevator is an abandon ed structure, and the headquarters of a well organized band of thieves.
 An event which will in many ways mark new era in theatricals in this city is the production here at the New Haven theater as the New Years at- traction Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day nights, January 1, and 3, and at the holiday matinee New Years day, and regular matinee Wednesday of "The Choir Singer" which has recent ly been passed upon by the New York critics, where it was characterized as a decided hit, A carload of handsome scenery specially designed for this pro- duction, and a large and we'll balanced company will be employed.
