little farther south is the Sisseton Agency,

THE LION AND THE MOUSE.

The cleanliness of THE Lion and the
Mouse" the powerful dramatic success
which Henry B. Harris will present
here tomorrow evening, is an element
in the plays favor that has had much
to do with establishing its wonderful
popularity, a popularity which has
brought it into its second year in New
York and made the engagements in
Boston and Chicago the most success
full in the history of those cities. In
building this play, Charles Klein did
not find it necessary to uncover any
phase of life that would be objection
able, hence there are no wronged
women or dissolute men connected
with the story. The polished dignity of
the whole play and the eminent re-
spectability of it's characters form a
combination which has caused thea

adopt the same style.
