 Absurd said I. I had thought that Mehitabel would have appreciated the humor of the ruse whereby ' had gained Janet-insisting that if she wanted my cleverest pony she must take me, too.
 "But this transaction with Janet to the pony and me straight. Don't you see? like her, Mehitabe1, more than like her-you know what mean.

 How about it?'' inquired Hawkins.
 "A1 right" answered Grett. "The old man read the riot act and shifted me to an inside job-said l was too careless for messenger-but he idnt fire I knew he wouldn't

1.-The Thici."

It is given out by the management which produces the play of ''The Thief at the Elks Theater next Tues day evening, that the great author, Henri Bernstein, had the courage to defy conventionality when formulat- ing the work. and that he moreover took a firm grasp on so-called modern society and laid bare certain of its weakness-and all this he has done, 1t Is asserted most tellingly. With less skillful treatment such violence of expression would be apt to de- stroy illusions. The play must con- sequently be beautifully symmetrical. It Is at least rated as an all-compre- henslye example of dramatic craft, It's very inconsistencies heightening it's charms.

PLUM BAYOU LEVEE
 SUIT DECISION

The following decision was handed down by Justice Hart in the Arkansas supreme court Monday:
 The Plum Bayou Levee district. un- der the powers conferred upon it by the act of the general assembly of 1905, constructed levee across the lands Of N. Harper. Harper placed his claim for damages against the district in the hands of an attorney, who conferred with the president of the district and agreed to submit the matter of arbitration, each of the parties to select one person to act as arbitrator. This was done, and the arbitrators agreed that Harper had been damaged to the extent of $400. This suit Is for the collection of said amount.
 The question on this appeal is whether the president of the levee district had the power, In the absence of authority given him by the board of directors, to bind the leyee district for the payment of damages suffered by landowner by reason of the ap. propriation of his lands by the dis trict; for if the power did not exist in the president to nuke such con- tract, 1t follows that he had no au- thority to enter into an arbitration without such authority.
 The act above referred to gives no such power to the president; on the other hand. that power is placed in tho board of directors. And 1t is not shown that the board of directors del egated this power to the president. The court Is therefore of opinion that the acts of the president were with out authority, and not noinding upon the district. Harper recovered judg- ment in the lower court; this judg- ment is reversed and the cause dis missed, without prejudice to the right of Harper to bring suit against the district under the statute for compen- sation for the lands appropriated,

It Is the misfortune of any, great success, that unscruihlois persons attempt to trade on It's reputation. Such is the case with 'I'he Holy City" Certain moving picture operators, in various parts of the country have been presenting pictures of the Pas sion Play and decciving the public by advertising it as Tho Holy City. Thus the public. expecting to see this great play, have found the exhibition only moving picture show. and hence were disappointed. and many of the Jess informed have gone away with the impression that this disappointing swindle was the original Holy City. This is grave mistake and great injustice to one of the finest plays ever written. The Holy City is a powerful drama, in four acts, present ed with cast of excellent actors, wearing the most elaborate and beau tlful costumes and presenting the great play with a full equipment of splendid scenery. 1t is NOT q stere- opticon or magic lantern show; but a fine play,-a drama. given on reg ular Theater stage. with all the char acters played by living mon and wo- men.

Blanche Walsh in "Ihe Test.

One of the most powerful plays ever produced on the American stage will be seen at the Elks Theater Thursday, February 1, for an engage ment of one night only. when Miss Blanche Walsh appears in "The Test, The problems of to-day are treated by the author Jules Eckert Goodman, in most forceful, intelligent and highly interesting manner He has woven into four acts of absorbing dialogue, heart interest and action, a phase of modern life that appeals to men, wo- men and children, in every walk. In the leading role, MT. Goodman has given to Miss Walsh an opportunity such as seldom falls to the lot of an actress. He has gone deep into the soul of noble woman and seen her passions aud emotions. Miss Walsh gives a faithful and convincing por- trayal Of what he saw. Tho play is virile, masterly and fearless in it's presentment of truths. The moral lesson is brought out in all it's in- tensity but is never permitted to trench upon the enjoyment of the work as one of true dramatic art. The scenes are laid in New York; breifly, the story is this:
 In the past a man. Tretman, has stolen for a girl he loves, Emma Eltynge, Blanche Walsh). Another man, Frederick McVane, tells the girl that if she will yield to him. she will save Tretman from prison. The girl consents but McVane proves false. Tretman goes to the penitentiary for ten years. When the stage story opens Emma has fallen in love with Arthur Thone, young novelist of broad views who knows great deal of her past His sister Peggy, a young wonman high i'll society, wants to marry McVane, whom she knows to have lived an eXtromely uncon- ventional life, but W . has given many assurances that he will reform.
 The motive of the play is furnished by the opposition to the marriage of Thonc and Emma. whi'H the marriage of McVane and Peggy $ considered proper. To add to the interest of the situation. Tretman's t'n in prison has ended and he rotuHns. The differ ent status of rfDentanr woman and a repentant man is brought out in vivid contrast
 Emma Eltynge here brings her au- diences down to fatalities in man. ner that almost takes the breath away. As realistic scene as was ever witnessed ill theatre Is in the closing part of the fourth act when Tretman, McVane, Emma and Thone meet and thrash matters out" Mc- Vane leaves hurriedly for Europe. Thone reclaims Emma and restores her to her better self. and Tretman goes out into the world to live down the past.
 Although the play deals with the sex problem in one of it's most vital phases. there is not the slightest suc- gestion of offensiveness. The author
