Russias and later when he exerted his
baleful influence on the mother of the
children of the weak ruler, he was
taken up by Russian society and be-
came the toasted idol of the hour.
This licensious, cruel illiterate
charlatan priest desecrated the sanctity
of the homes of some of the most in
fluential men of the great domain of
the Russian Bear.
His uncanny. power over women led
finally to his undoing, but not until
most of Russias beautiful women had
fallen under his magnetic and baleful
spell. He wrapped them around his
dirty fingers like strands of yarn, to
90 with them as he willed. Women
who stood for highest in ideals of re-
ligion, culture, literature and home
life submitted to the lustful passions
of this charlatan as if under some
powerful hypnotic spell.

NOTED ARTIST
THINKS HIGHLY
Of THIS STATE

Mr.. j. W. l.. Forster of Toronto, Can
ada is at work on the portrait Of an
Arizona pioneer. the late Rev. Charles
II. Cook Of Sacaton. Dr.. Cook came to
Arizona in 1870, and from that time to
1911 gave himself unreservedly for the
Indians Of this district He died on
May 4, 1917.
Though the last years Of his life were
spent in Iowa his heart was still in Ar
iona. The monument to his work is
found in the Pima tribe and in the
school which bears his name, estab-
lished in Phoenix for the training of
Indian young men as Christian leaders
among their own people. The portrait
when completed is to be hung on the
walls of the Charles H. Cook Bible
school.
Phoenix is to be congratulated on the
prospect Of having a specimen of the
work Of one of the most distinguished
Canadian portrait painters. Mr.. For
ster has done work for almost all Of
the leading institutions in Canada, in
Guiding the houses Of parliament at OF
tawa and Toronto, and many of the
colleges.
His paintings Of the Wesley group
for Victoria university, Toronto, have
been declared by competent critics to
present the best likenesses of the IVES
leys, and were reproduced in the Out
look and in recent Wesley histories.
These portraits were made in England
where he has done a good deal of other
work. With view to making draw
ings for his painting The Royal
lIousehOld' he was permitted to be
present at a private service for Queen
Victoria and her household in the roy
al chapel Windsor, at the time of the
queens diamond jubilee. More recently
he was given commissions for portraits
Of the late Lord Roberts of the British
army and of Sir Gilbert Parker.
Mr. Forster is also we'll known for
his work for distinguished Americans
lie was invited to the White House by
The former Mrs. Wilson, herself an
artist, to paint her portrait. This paint
ing is in the possession Of the pres
idcnt.
Mr. Forster, accompanied by Mrs
Forster is enjoying u short vacation
visiting friends in the west. They were
interested in coming to Phoenix by Mr
and Mrs. Geo. Logic of this city, Mrs
Logic being cousin of Mr.. Forster
They came by way of the Apache trail
and We're very favorably impressed by
what they have seen of our Arizona
scenery and Phoenix climate. After q
brief stay in the valley they expect tC
visit California returning east later by
way Of the Grand Canyon.

Exciting Cowboy Pictures at Lamara

Exciting Cowboy Pictures at Lamara
For today and tomorrow the Lamara
is showing the scenes of the great
Pendleton, oregon, roundup, a picture
that has caused more of a sensation
than any similar picture ever made.
Cowboys, the champions of the world
in their specialties, were on hand, as
were cowgirls and Indians, and any
number of the widest horses that
could be obtained. The observer is
soon conscious, in witnessing the film
of the great danger to life and limb
which the participants undergo. In
more than one instance the riders were
hurled SO violently to the ground that
they remained there senseless and mo
tionless as the camera faithfully re-
cords them being carried away to the
hospital The winners of the Pendle-
ton roundup are truly winners of the
world championships, for there was
never held a more dangerous, nor eX-
citing, nor nerve raclling contest thar
this last one held in the little city OF
Oregon which forms the gateway tC
what is left of the West as we love tC
think of it. Bulldogging, wild horse
races, bucking contests, roping exhi-
billions and, in fact, all the sports that
| go to make up a typical frontier day

For Ways That
Are Queer. Mee
family Peculiar

Yee kee and Mrs. Yee Kee, 220
South Second street, quarreled. Mrs.
zee got the best of it in the quarrel.
AS matter of fact she insisted on
having the last word, and she did.
MIR. Yee it is alleged got sore at that.
It preyed on his mind, so to speak,
until ge got fighting mad. That is
where the story begins.
Mr.. Yee and Mrs. zee, it is
charged by the police, got so mixed
in their alteration that they made
noises, not unlike the cracking of
bones and the breaking Of heads,
that could be heard all over the
neighborhood. The conflict was
waged for some time before it
dawned upon the startled neighbors
that somebody might get a knock
out. Policeman Sullivan and Bob
Anderson responded to the call for
help. They arrested the Yee couple
and left them to cool off at the po-
lice station. Later they each fur
nished bail in the sum of $40, which
they forfeited by failing to appear
for trial. But the loss of the bail
money, the police report, has had a
tendency to keep peace in the fam
ily since the arrest.

star in movies, will again thrill his
admirers in his greatest picture, The

self to wander out into the world, and
he finally lands somewhere on the
border of Mexico. While there he

MeXihns and in the battle proves he

way he proves this is the remarkable
part of this great photo drama. Thrill
