FRIDAY.
The Stealers" Has Soul-Stirring Theme.

A drama which pleases the eye and
stirs the soul is "The Stealers," William
Chrlsty Cabanne's powerful human docu-
ment, a Robertson Cole super-special
which will be shown at the Colonial
Theatre Friday
The appealing story sof the picture re-
wolves about clergyman who under the
cloak of his avocation sins and causes
others to sin in deliberate effort to re-
venge himself against God.
The picture sets new mark in the art
of the screen, all of the titles and many
OF the big scenes being in colors, made
possible by new process. This feature
alone, aside from the tremendous appeal
of the story, makes the film worth seeing.

callous Old Rascal,

Apes are so human that even when
they display traits that in man would
be simply abominable man cannot help
laughing. a correspondent in South
Africa writes that certain large apes
are so much in the habit of raidins
the coffee plantations that they have
to be guarded.
Among the coffee trees there grows
8 shrub, the fruit of which the apes
particularly enjoy. But as wasps fas-
ten their nests to the shrubs, the apes,
fearful of being stung, usually keep
away from them. One morning the
people in a certain plantation heard
the apes making fearful outcries and,
rushing out, saw a singular scene. a
large baboon, the leader of a band,
was throwing some young apes at the
wasp nests justsas a boy might have
thrown stones at them. The poor vic
tins, stung by the infuriated insects,
were crying piteously, but the Old
baboon paid no heed to them what
ever. While they were suffering from
the anger of the wasps he quietly pro-
ceeded to regale himself with the fruit,
which he could now pluck without dan
ger. Occasionally he would throw a
handful TO some females and young a
little way off.--Youth's Companion.
