"The Thief" Thursday, Jan. Fl.

Charles F'rohman's production of
The Thief" which will come to the
Opera House on Thursday Jan. 81, is
it's own best advertisement. To see
THE Thief is at once to recognize the
greatness of its author and the excel
lcnce Of the cast which Charles Froh-
man has provided for It's presentation
Everywhere with the fall of the first
curtain the popularity and prosperity
of THE Thief are assured. Suisse
quent to the furores that its first per-
Torrance in Paris created, The Thief"
has been produced in eight other coun-
tries and III each has won complete
and indisputable triumph. In New
York The Thief ran for ten months
at the Lyceum Theatre. In London it
enjoyed a successful course of about
the same. length. In Germany, Russia,
Spain, Sweden and Australia in addi-
ton to Paris. it is now playing nightly
to interested thousands.
The cast of THE Thief Is a small
one-there are only seven characters
but the power Of the play lies in the
use the author has made of his few
characters. Each is a type of class
solutely necessary to the logical de-
vciopment of the novel plot.
The company which will be seen here
was personally selected by Charles
Frohman and he has personally direct
cd all their rehearsals. The cast of
THE Thief includes Charles Dalton,
Edward Il. Mawson and Gertrude Dali
las in the principal roles and they are
assisted by Arthur Lawrence. Leonard
Ide, Cecil Owen and Mrs Hilary Bell.

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Verdict Rendered for Plaintiff
Sidney Pressed Hay Case.

The case of Rufus Nv, Lathrop of
Gardiner, VS.. Jared p. Grant of Sidney
was heard in the superior court Fri
day forenoon. sThis was an action to
recover for labor or pressing II tons
and 1887 pounds of hay at the rate of
$225 per ton. amounting in all to $39.47.
Williamson & Burleigh for plaintiff,
Whitehouse for defendant.
Both parties agreed at to the amount
of hay pressed, the only contention be
ing in regard to the price agreed upon
per ton. The only witnesses called
were Lathrop and Grant and their di-
rect and cross examination consumed
about an hour and a half. Lathrop
testified that he pressed the hay of
which Grant claimed to be owner and
that Grant promised to pay him 1925
per ton for the work and agreed to
pay within two or three weeks. Grant
testified that Lathrop agreed to press
the hay at the rate of 50 per ton and
he claimed that he ordered the charge
fer the work to be made to the es-
tate of Abigail T. Grant. He also said
that he supposed certain standing grass
would pay for the hay and stated that
he had no objection to paying for the
work according to the agreed price.
The case went at II O'Clock ITO the
second jury and after being ont about
90 minutes the jury returned YER
diet "That defendant did promise in
manner and form as plaintiff has de-
clared against him and that damages
be assessed in the sum of S39.47."
After the verdict was reported the
court took a recess until $50 A. NJ to-
day. The Grand jury is still in session
ard will probably remain in session
during the greater part of the coming
week.

A Martyr to the Fox.


A fox can climb almost as well as
cat and will often be found lying IN
trees and on the top Of ivy covered
walls. High walls covered with ivy
often surround private residences in
bunting districts. One Of these do
main walls caused the tragic death OF
a hound in the south Of Ireland a few
years ago. There was belt of trees
with thickish underground close up to
the wall, and the hounds were running
a tired fox hard through this belt.
Suddenly the cry ceased; there were
the unmistakable growing and worry
ing which proclaim a kill. The mas
ter Jumped of his horse and pushed
his way through the underground. On
getting to the pack, instead of finding
q dead fox he saw to his horror one
of the best hounds torn to pieces. 1t
was easy to understand what had hap
pened. The fox had got over the wall
by the help of some ivy, and the hound
had tried to jump over after him, but,
falling back among the others, had
been killed before they realized their
mistake.-London Standard. =

Military School Exercises Include

In the Japanese military school,
where 1 saw Spartan system Of edu-
cation, the exercises Of the cadets with
pixies, rifles and broadswords were not
approached by anything of the kind
that had witnessed In Europe. 1t
was fighting Of the f1ercest character.
At the end Of the struggle there was
hand to hand combat, which lasted
until the victors stood triumphant over
the bodies of the vanquished and tore
OF their masks.
In these exercises, which were very
severe, the cadets struck one another
dercely and with wild cries, but the
moment a prearranged signal was CIV
en- or the fight came to an end the
combatants drew themselves up in a
line, and their faces assumed an ex-
preston Of wooden composure.
In all the public schools prominence
was given to military exercises. and
the scholars took part in them with
enthusiasm. Even In their walks they
pract1ced running, 6anking and sud-
den, unexpected attacks.
The history Of Japan was every
where made a means Of strengthening
the pupils patriotism and their belief
in Japan's invincihility. Particular
stress was laid upon the country's sue
cessful wars. the heroes Of them were
extolled, and the children were taught
that none Of Japan's military enter
prises had failed.-McClure's Maya
