In one of the many fascinating and colorful scenes in of Nazimova gives proof of her riding ability. As Azah, the gypsy princess, she leaps to the back of a horse upon which Greggo, her suitor, Is already seated. The star insists that she is a bare-back rider in this scene, since Greggo occupies the saddle, and she was literally obliged to on the back of the horse.

Though Nazimova is not one of those screen stars Pauline Frederick will be seen at the Ellanay theater again today and tomorrow in her latest dramatic success, 'One Week of Life This is an unusual story of a beautiful married woman, who had wealth, prestige, position, everything but happiness and who yearned to experience Week of with the man she adored.

The Reg- a El Pasoans were favored with a musical treat Tuesday evening at the Chautauqua such as seldom gets beyond the zone of eastern operas. Jaio- slav Cimera and his Cxecho-Slovak band, with madam Cafarelli Cimera, dramatic soprano, as soloist, contributed the program. The musicians presented a mixed program including selections from Fucik, Smetana, Bradsky. Michaelis, Pryor and Johnson. With all the Bohemian love for music, Cimera, leader of the band, brings from his musicians such perfect effects, and such unity of response that it seoms as though the band were one man.

His personality, together with his wonderful command of directorship, makes him stand as an interpreter between the audience and the world, apart from which the wonderful music seems to be rawn. Death of a descriptive American fantasy by Lee Johnson, was the feature of the program. The story told in music was that of battle. The opening was an Indian war dance, the night before the battle. Then followed the bugle calls in amp before forming the line of march.

The effect of the far-off bugle calls from off the stage was beautiful. Then came the description of marching and the tramping of hoofs in the distance, which swelled until all was drowned In the confusion of Indian war music and military strains. Then the battle of Big in which the general lost his life, and the Indians, re.ioioing over their victory and the nrjval of reinforcements, followed The descriptive fantasv closed with duster's burial, with the volley of shots. muffled drums and bugle sounding the Hst call over the gen- 1 srrave.

The only way I have accepted pleas of guilty in these cases has been when the charges were vagrancy. These charges are made by the constable.

He has displayed rare skill as a composer in the numbers which help to give the production its peppy military whirl. The book of the play is written by N. J. with a collaboration of Pvt. Abbott.

Be sure and see what happened as all my predecessors have collected and such as judge Deaver is now collecting as well as myself. The law allows 5 percent to the constable and 10 percent to the county attorney for collecting fines, but as the county attorney has always left the collection of fines to the constable and the justice, the fees have been kept by the justice, through an understanding with the county attorney. Heavy Work. is allowed the justice of the peace for the extra work he has to do. There has been so much work in my court that I really should have had a clerk, but I have done the clerical work myself, including making reports to the state highway commission of all traffic cases brought into my court.

The work has been heavy and I have done it without a clerk. county attorney was entitled to the fees by law, if he had cared to claim them. He claim them and tuined them over to me for doing the work of collecting. That is all there is to it. Fort Worth and other cities allow their justices of the peace clerks.

My only argument is that I am entitled to a clerk and I believ it rests with the discretion of county commissioners as to whether I am allowed a clerk. The clerk hire i would amount to more than the fees in CITY BUY8 ORE. An additional $25,000 worth of Victory bonds was purchased by the mayor protem and city council at a meeting Tuesday morning.
