ARIZONA" TONIGHT.

Familiar as is "Aizona" to the play-going public, the presentation of this play as a photo-drama is said to contain many features which add to it's attractiveness beyond the spok- en drama. Scenes impossible to be shown upon the regular stage are here projected with background of nature itself. More than one hundred and fifty people were employed in the making of this film, which was staged under the direct supervision of Aug ustus Thomas. For the principal characters a notable cast was provid- ed, headed by Cyril Scott as Lieu tenant Denton, and Gail Kane as Bon fat. Robert Frederick, who created the role of "Canby, the Ranchman," in the original production, was secur- ed by Mir. Thomas for the photo play. In spite of the cost of this feature the price of admission will be only fifty cents, children twenty-five cents. This great picture is now being run on the outside to packed houses.
 Mrs. McNeer has been specially en- gagged to play to the feature films.

Hobbies have ceased to be re
garded merely as a means OF putting
in time, and have come to occupy an
important place in medical treat
ment.' says a well-known physician.
But a hobby that promotes physical
exercise is the finest recreation that
a man whose work entails consider
able mental strain can have.
The kaiser has taken up wood-cut-
ting as the best possible hobby and
exercise for a Woodworking monarch.
and his physicians warmly encourage
the pastime, Every morning In the
Sans Souci park at Potsdam the
kaiser may be seen hard at work with
saw and ak. He not only fells
trees, but chops and saws the wood
into convenient sizes for use. At the
expiration OF his hours toll the logs
are either given TO the workmen in
attendance or sen to a charity.
Tree-felling. of course. was one Of
Mr.. G~ladstone's favorite pastimes.

Wonders never cease In American
law. Here comes a Judge in our own
state. trying the case OF a man who
entered his neishbor's garden and
pinched a head OF cabbage. The Judge
decides that 1t was not larceny Of per
sonal property at all. and hence not
a basis OF criminal action: but the
cabbage heads are real estate. and
that the neighbor's remedy is to bring
a civil action contesting title. We
have eaten garden truck-spinach and

real estate. But We never knew be-
fore that to steal IL was not theft And
