The new program at the Wigwam last night. and which will be re- peated tonight, included very thrill ling dramatic picture entitled Cow boy Justice" It opens with a bar room scene where three cowboys plan the robbery of a station agent. In the execution of it one is killed. an- other is killed in the course of an automobile chase and the third is captured at the end of it. A feature of the picture is the good horseman- ship exhibited Another drama of the military sort involves the old story of soldier in distress being saved from the enemy by one on that side of the issue who returns a former kindness by the father of the youth about to be executed. The scenes are laid in the civil war This picture is called the Nine of Diamonds" a torn card of that name being the means of bringing together the un- fortunate and the man who saves his life There is also a comedy picture of much interest evolved out of in cidents subs equent to the employment of a disguised Irishman as a nouse- maid. other numbers are the il lustrated ongs and the trapeze acts of the Eacori family

ADJUSTMENTS
COLISEUM.

Two big audiences that damned the Coliseum to the doors and threat- ened to pile up to the roof went wild last night over the acts Of Barnes sS West, the Munsons and the Aramen- Ia brothers. It was an an-star bill. the most expensive except one that Manager Reeves ever booked, and the lovers of good vaudeville certainly showed their appreciation
 From the time George Barnes and Irene West the Globe Trotters. % waltze out on the stage, and the light glinted upon Miss Vests wonderful, ndescribable hair, the first audience was in turmoil of excitement This excitement did not die out until the last person had filed out and the throng that had been crowding about the entrance took their places. And the second audience was just as en- thusiastic as the first.
 For sheer cleverness Barnes and West are the limit. Mir Barnes is also the limit for eccentricity and Miss West is the limit for beauty and hair. She is the prettiest little woman who ever danced upon the Coliseum stage, and as for her hair. well. there isn't any other like it. It has a color and a texture all its own beautiful and wonderful
 Mir Barnes often complains that audiences are so busy looking at his partners hair that they don't see his dance at all and newspaper men de- scribe her hair without saying a word about his work It's the penalty he pays for having a partner with such hair. But his dancing is decidedly clever. too. Both are good singers and their songs are funny as well as musical It will probably be years before Phoenix audiences have an opportunity to see a dance equal to this one. Song and dance artists are as common in vaudeville as mosqui- toes in New Jersey. but such artists as Barnes and West are found only once in a lifetime.

Throughout his 80 years in the
northland Smith gave his leisure to
reading and studying. He became
thinker and reasoner and in his
work he learned to use his power OF
brain. From this point his advance
was gradual but sure and in 1868,
when he was 4S years old, he was ap-
pointed governor of the company with
head offices at Montreal. He was we'll
equipped for his mighty duties. He
had learned the lessons of generalship
and in the years that followed he
proved himself a commander Of
forces, primal and artificial. Many
times during his governorship crises
arose that put his powers to test.

against the party and because he was

Donald A. Smith, silent, reserved
but powerful, was e0ne of the great
est legislators that ever had seat
in the Canadian house of commons.
His career as a lawmaker was one of
honesty and genius.
In 1896 Lord Strathcona received
the eliminating honor of his great
career. He was made the first holder
of the newJy-created office of high
commissioner for Canada in London.
Four years later he received world
fame through his gift of the Strath-

In private life this great man is

Ottawa, Canada.-In the closing
days of the rebellion Of 49, when al
fairs were in turmoil, there landed
on the shores of Canada a poor,

He was not more than IS, but he was

friendless lad was Donald Smith, the

In the early days, when Smith

in the employ of the Hudson Bay COM

isolated on the ice-bound coast of
Labrador, he labored in the hardest

that many persons had come out of

toward the overhanging part of the

whiskers of old Sisnor Vozzi, the
landlord, and could see the white
aprons and the bright dresses of the
servants mingling with the darker
costumes of the hotel guests. Then,

long fight of steps which turned two
