i didn't. He looks so dark and dis
tinguished on the screen. But he
really has nice light brown. wevy
hair, and rather good looking blue
eyes.
You see. Bushman's sole claim to
fame rests with the fact that he's
probably been seen by more people
in the world than any other actor.
except his boss, Broncho Billy An
derson. and none of them has ever
seen him personally-face to face,
that is. They've only seen his pic
ture that has come to the picture

Starts In Mob Scene.
However, Bushman mad no choice
in the matter of getting away from
there. He was taken to Baltimore
when he was a child Of four years.
In Baltimore lie learned a lot of
things at the public schools, and got
his first taste Of theatricals by ap-
pearing in q moo scene in The Lady
of Lyons" His sister was playing
the Lady" and she worked Francis
Xavier into the cast as a special
favor. He went TO school at the
Amendale College. IN Maryland. and
started in the correspondence course
business Immediately after getting
his degree.
He sold correspondence courses. 1t
was a fairly lucrative business for a
while. But the little germ of acting
which his mob scene experience had
implanted in his system had develop
ed into something he couldn't cure.
and he got a Job with old John AL
baugh at his famous opera house in
Baltimore. He played there with
Fawcett and Percy Haswell for a
season or two and went out with va
rious companies when the oppor-
tunitv offered. He developed into
quite a stock actor. and was sought
as a leading juvenile in several com
panies. He looks something like

and he made as great a hit with. the

Something Doing Every Minute for Hour and Half
Mine MORE COAL.
Prison Report Shows 80 Per Cent
More Production.

Based on the number Of men used
in the mines. 80 per cent more coal
was mined at the Lansing state peni-
tentiary last year than in 1912. ac-
cording to figures reported to Cover
nor Hodges today by George Skid
more, superintendent Of the prison
mines. Five months daily reports
show 33,323 working days in the
mines in 1912, as compared with
27,858 working days in the same
period in 1913, or the loss last year
of 5,465 working days through the
shortage of men. The record for 1912
was 463,O62 bushels of coal as COM
pared with 427s661 bushels last year.
Nearly 100 more men were worked
in the prison mines in 1912 than in
1913. Last year the men from the
mines were used in the construction
of the prison twfne plant and buildings
destroyed by the April fire. At this
time about IT'S men are used in the
mines, as compared with $50 a year
ago. The record for the month end
ing January 15,f showed 4,876 working
days, as gainst 6.944 year ago. or q
shortage of practically 100 men a day.
Using the same number of men as
were in the mines a year ago, our coal
production would show an increase of
80 per cent over that Of IL months
ago said Skidmore. I'm other words,
the five months of the detailed report
would show 202s205 bushels more than
was mineds in 1Dl 3d. or 167, ,O04 bushels
more than was tqnined in 1912"

He declares his wife complained he

asks divorce The Black divorce case,
which has hitherto been heard behind
closed doors. came to (, trial today in
the open court. Judge Whitcomb is
hearing the testimony.
Mr.. Black filed the original petit
ton. asking the custody of his three
children, and making sensational
charges Of cruelty and neglect against
his wife. Mrs. Black filed a cross Pc
tition denying all the allegations. and
declaring her husband unfit to care
for the children. Following an order
of the court, the two older children
have lived with their father during
the past few months, and the baby
has been with her mother.

the Brown county farmer a letter OF
congratulations. ~ -.
II understand that the job Is yours
until some more enterprising Kansan
comes along and takes it away from
you by beating this record" said the
governor in his letter. ~ hope this
fact will spur you, not only to beat
your own record, but to show to your
fellow Kansans the still greater possi-
bility Of this Kansas soil when we get
down to intensive farming.
