Ghosts.

Believe in ghosts? Probably not. And yet haven't you seen and heard things which your cool, sane reason couldn't explain, except through some supernatural agency? It is not alone old men who dream dreams and see visions" They can come to the young athlete, to the staid business man of affairs, to the most practical serious minded of us all. There is a corking good ghost story-if we can call it such-in Smiths for Septem Der; the kind that will make those little shivers start at the roots of your hair. and yet it isn't a bogey tale to frighten youngsters. It is called "The Mystery of the Timber Tract" and is by Francis Metcalfe It tells of mountain love story and the strange vision of a hard headed New Yorker. who met the victim of a five-year-O tragedy at his camp fire, and so learned the secret of the neighbOrhoOd. It is one of those strange happenings, those little echoes of another world, which leave a question in the read CTS mind as to just how much is real, anyway.

 "A Quiet Hotel" a one-scene sketch full of music and catchy songs, writ ten by William Friedlander, pleased perhaps as much as anything that this company of musical comedy artists has furnished Phoenix audiences. Cash Knight. as Pat O'Hoolihan, delivered the best quality of Irish character seen here in many a day. His dialect and mannerisms were keen. and his comedy set the audience in a contin- uOus roar. Frank Morton, as a very angular landlord. gave Knight a close run for his money as to first place In popularity. Nan Halperin. as Anna Held, though a trifle short in altitude for the part. did nobly and handled the character work of the part in her 
 presented the part of Sarah Bernhart, and those who have seen this world renowned star could not help but feel that her imitator had made a close study of her prototype.

THE COMING MEETING
 OF ARIZONA TEACHERS
Tempe Urged to Arrange For Their Reception.

AS the time for the meeting of the Arizona Teachers Association is not many weeks off those interested in having the affair in this city are dis cussing the situation and debating plans for the entertainment of the members. One of the first things to be considered is hotel accommodations. Although there are two good hotels in this place, the Casa Loma and the Olive, and although the former is large enough to accommodate a great num- Der of the visitors, yet, unless the res idents of the town come forward and offer to do their part towards taking care of some of the teachers there will be serious trouble in getting the wis itors properly located.
 At the last meeting of the associa- tion which was held in Phoenix during the fair last year, Tempe was desig- mated as the next meeting place As fair week is not a great ways off it is not too early to begin to sum up the situation especially in regard to ec- commodatiOns. If the motor cars are running between here and Phoenix by that time the matter will be materially simplified as many can then stop in the Capitol City and go back and forth on the motor cars Although it would be an honor to the city to entertain such a body as the Arizona Teachers Association. still if it is attempted at all 1t must be done right and those here feel that in all other matters suf- ficient entertainment. both interesting and instructive can be provided. Their only difficulty, they feel is in regard to accommodations
