By JULIA MURDOCH.

IE~ HEESE It. the cop.Y is the
caption beneath the picture
~ of the curly headed little lad
whose picture is presented
herewith. He Is Master Maurice WILL
| cox Steuart. jr., better known as the
Biograph Kid, and he's a Washington
boy who comes honestly enough by his
! abality. inasmuch as his father, whose
name the child bears, is one Of WASH
ington's long list Of actors who have
made good.
Maurice Wilcox Steuart, ST., was
last seen here when he appeared In sup
port Of Maude Adams in "Chantecler."
In this engagement Mr.. Steuart played
the triple role Of THE Great Horned
| OWL" The Pigeon" and "The Guinea
Chick" at each performance. Before
| this engagement. he had supported Miss
Viola Allen, for five years, appearing
| with her In "A Winters Tale" and
playing double role in THE Toast Of
the Town." as well as acting In other
plays with which Miss Allen was iden-
| titled
He has supported Bertha GaIland and
! other well-known actresses, but has
now retired from the dramatic field to
take up motion picture work. His little
| son shows more ability even than his
father. and though only a baby, he en-
: ters into the work with all the under
| standing and enthusiasm of q grown-
up.
AS he was born in the old first
| ward on the spot where the Bancroft
Hotel now stands, and has a mother, a
| sister and many acquaintances in WASH

career. and that of his little son.
Father Connected
With Congress.
Another Washingtonian whose theatre
cal history interests many of her old
Washington friends is Maud Martin
| Curtis. who Is to play at the Academy
Theater this week in .'The Shep-
herd of the Hills" Her father was
| connected with Congress, his personal
friends and associates being BENJAMIN
Butler, Senator Hoar and Carl Schurtz
Miss Curtin received her education at
the Misses Osborne's school for young
| ladies, at the corner of Tenth and NJ
| streets. She studied music with Prof.
Bischoff. the blind musician, who was
for 30 many years the organist at the
First Congregational Church, Tenth and
G streets. Miss Curtis is one of the
few Of the old school Of actresses now
| touring the country.
She has had wide experience with
permanent stock companies throughout
| the country. and in the role Of Aunt
Molly" in the Shepherd of the Hills"
she has found a part which she says is
especially congenial and pleasing to
her.
Then. at the National Theater this
week. there Is another young washing
ton woman whom her friends have been
watching with no little degree of in
terest, ever since she took I'D the stage
as profession. She is Miss Edith
.. Luckett. who is George NJ. Cohan's
leading lady in Broadway Jones'" Miss
Luckett has the unique experience of
having been chosen to be leading lady
| in a leading production after only five
years experience. She started playing
bits in stock companies.

The Cost Of Sinking.

A bookkeeper who complained
that he was not advanced as hC
deserved to be had it pointed out
to him that his handwriting was
bad. Practice in handwriting
was repugnant to him and he re.
mained in the minor nosition.
Many a man who has done
much good work has fallen short
of satisfactory success because
some disagreeable thing lay in
his way which he would not ov-
ercome.
Somehow or other it seems
that the hard things are the i'm
portant things. Maybe their i'm
portance makes them hard. May
be the fact that they are hard
makes them important. Life is
not attainment so much as de-
velopment. We can be no big
ger than the things we do not
overcome.
The road to success is a rough
one. Flowers bloom at the way
side, it is true, but he who would
get on must roll the stones out
of his way first and lie among
the flowers afterward.
Lots of us lie among the flow
ers first, thinking that when we
weary of that we will go to roll
ing stones. But the longer we
lie the more distastefpl the stone
rolling becomes.
He who defers an unpleasant
duty does it twice. Anticipation
of it may become a continual tor
ture. It is wise to be done with
it in the first place, and then con-
temptation of it becomes a plea
sure.
The shirking of responsibility,
the dread of failure, lead many
a man to keep doing only the
things which he likes and thor
oughly understands.
If he is satisfied with moder-
ate success all right. But he
must not expect anything more
of such methods. Athens Mes.

w O0VOI OOCSUAOAS
AS we take our seat to write
up the happenings of our quiet
little village, the thought comes
to our mind that another year
has gone with all of its joys and
pleasures, with all of it's sorrows
and disappointments. What has
it brought the children of men?
How much better has the world
been by my having lived in it the
past year? This thought should
be in the mind of each and ev-
cry individual at this time, when
the old year is passing away. If
we have done nothing towards
making the world better or in
helping some one to enjoy it's
blessing more, our lives have in
deed been a failure. Every true
life should be imbued with the
Christmas spirit every month of
the year, having THAT light shi-
ming from it that was kindled
1000 years ago in Bethlehem of
Judea. If that light was shin
ing out from each human heart
all the year, and every year,
there would be no failures, no
graft. political bossism and gag
rule to combat. There would be
no fear that Mr.. Cox or Mr.. Will
son would send the state and ma.
tion to the eternal boWwows dur
ing their respective terms in Of
flee. But since that is not the
condition of life it becomes our
duty as true citizens to look af-
ter those matters and keep the
curb and chain on all wrong do
ing and do all in our power to
make all things better in the new
year just opening than they have
been in the past. This is the
wish of ye scribe.

many occasions he has shook and
jerked her around, threatened to
kill her and called her all kinds

and that owing to his conduct to-
ward her she was compelled to
leave him in July, 1911. She says

7 Grand Forks Times: The state legis-

the legislature have acted for themselves
as individuals. n for the general citi-
zenship Of the state. .%
Governor Burke rctires to private life
after n service as chief executive Of the
state extending over a period Of six
years, q longer term Of service In this
office than had before been given to any
| man. Those six years have been impor-
| tant ones in tho history of the state, and
have been marked by many important
changes. The period has been one Of
growth. of course. but there has been
more than growth. In population ana in
the volume Of business There has been
going on a transition n change from Old
methods to new, ana this casting about
for new and improved methods has
| marked every phase Of the activity Of
tho people. Through the administration
OF the laws, aud in other ways in the

come In touch with this movement on
every hand. Naturally differences Of
! opinion AVE arisen ut .rtimes as to the
/ best methods to be pursued, but in spite
Of these. differences Governor Burke
leaves his office holding the friendship
Of his constituents, and bearing with

advantage to the state, The political

Hanna is such a man. TIE Times be-
lieves that the tendency Of his influence
will be progressive in the best sense Of

the things which all good citizens desire,
the enactment inc enforcement Of prac-
