THIS WILL OUTWIT
THE COUNTERFEITERS

Within the next month or two, if
present promises are kept, our citi-
zens will witness the greatest reyOlu-
ton that has ever been made in the
size and appearance of paper money
in the United States. Each one of
the 2,O00,000,a00 notes of that kind
now in circulation will be supple
mented by uniform pieces Of cur
rency about quarter size smaller
than that now used. Ii the comment
occasioned BY the parcel post, the
rural free delivery and every inno-
walton Uncle Sam has made in the
last twenty years could be rolled into
one 1t would not bring forth tenth
part OF the popular interest which
will be manifested when the peple
realize that each and every piece of
paper money is to be changed That
day will sound the doom of the coun-
tcTIclteF WHO HOW raises Il one 10

fifty dollar bill, or, in fact, misre-
presents any denomination.
The value. OF the new bill will be
apparent on sight. Any note with
Washington's portrait will be 81;

utterly impossible for a forger to

have learned that George Washing

AT DAVIS THEATER.
Vaudeville and PhotopIays.

A vaudeville bill that is one of the best there in some time was shown at the Davis theater on Monday with four numbers that all shared in the good opinions of those who saw and heard them, With their vocal and violin numbers, Livingstone and Fields were two dainty artists, who won instant fla vor. Normal Merrill as a character comedian did his strong work in his recitation touching on cowboy life and also sang well, while Barto & Clark had a remarkably neat and clever sing ing and dancing act in which they shone as about the best dancing and singing team that the house has pro- duced on it's stage. Elliott, Belmont and Elliott performed in a gyTnnastic and tumbling act that was full of fun and action as well as a lot of clever work with the woman member of the troupe doing the heavy work in con vincing form. The photoplays con tribute to the general satisfaction that the bill gave.

Was a Noble Doq.

A beautiful life came to it's close Monday morning when the dearly lov- ed collie belonging to Mrs Henry A. Spalding of 110 Washington street went quietly to sleep after many weeks of weakness and helplessness incident to advanced years. Sailor was Is years old last February and had been a member of the Spalding household since he was three months old Never was a dog more fondly loved nor bet ter nerfted the affection bestowed up- on him. He had lived beyond the "14 years which nature permits" accord ing 10 Rudyard Ripling's poem to dog lovers, but Sailors friends realize now the truth of the last lines Then you will find it's your own affair, but you've given your heart for a dog to tear"

AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

The miniature musical comedy, The Telephone Girls. is the feature of the bill offered during the first half of the week at the Auditorium and the new programme met an enthusiastic re- ception from packed houses at both of Mondays shows. The motion pictures snow careful selection. including Imp and Nestor comedies and two-reel Bison drama, The Vengeance of the Skystone.
 The Telephone Girls are six in mum Der with the addition of Eddie Drake, who makes a hit with his lively line of comedy which runs all through the act, The Girls display nice voices and their songs make a good impress sion. The second scene is the feature of the act. The Girls are shown in a boat. singing Row. Row Row, and the number gets a big hand As during last week, one big vaudeville attrac ton takes the place of the three acts usually presented.

 Old Torrent Engine Displayed.
 At the Central station the old Tor rent fire engine, newly painted and overhauled, was stationed on the grass plot and was inspected during the day by the visitors The engine is operated by hand and a demonstra- ton of it's operation was given by members of the department. The old Torrent was used back in 17S9. The apparatus was drawn by a single horse and the pump operated by sev- eral men on the long handles. It's ef- ficiency seems questionable, in com parison with present day fire appara- tus but the old Torrent is of interest as a relic of other days.
