SERGEANT KITTY

Sergeant Kitty the picturesque
military comic opera success, is billed
for a performance at the Thatcher
Opera house tomorrow night. The
book and lyrics are by II. II Burnside
and the music by A. Baldwin Sloane,
composer OF the tuneful "Mocking
Bird Helen Byron, one Of the most
popular condolences before the foot
lights today comes in the title role
and those who follow the theatrical
columns Of the big dailies and the
magazines will readily recall having
noted the pleasing features of this
lavorite.
Unfortunately, press matter for this
big show failed to arrive in time to
give this show the proper newspaper
heralding, and Sergeant Kitty
breaks in on us almost unannounced
That the public may know what the
press Of other cities think Of the comic
opera, the following clippings, from
among hundreds equally as fine, are
presented:

roasted every day, and there were,

The NonehaIant Canton Merchant.

Frequently on entering a Canton
shop you will find Its owner with a
book in one hand and pipe or fan In
the other and wholly absorbed in his
studies. You will be doomed to dis
appointment IL you expect the smoker
to start up at once, all smiles and
blandness, rubbing his hands together
as he makes shrewd guess as to what
he is likely to take out Of you and re-
}ceiving you with obsequiousness or
with rudeness accordingly. Quite the
reverse. Your presence is apparently
unnoticed unless you happen to lift
anything. Then you hear that the fan
has been arrested and feel that keen
eye is bent on your movements all
the while. But 1t is not until you In
quire for some article that the gentle
man, now certain that you mean to
trade, will rise without hustle from
his seat, show you his goods or state

fold storage In Ir4sh Begs.

For long it puzzled me to know what the poachers did with the birds they sho, in July. There Is no cold storage in the north of Ireland but they have discovered an excellent substitute. The birds are buried sour or five feet deep in dry peat, and, l am told, come out perfectly fresh at the end of two or three weeks When one remembers the bog butter dug out of the peat bogs ln a comparatively fresh state after being buried for probably 200 or 300 years. 1t is not difficult to believe that grouse might keep, under the same cir cumstances, for two or three weeks.- Letter Tn Country Life.
