Lester Sturm Signs Up a
New Child Actor for Life

Lester Sturm, local manager of the
Fox Film corporation, for a long time
has thought that Jane and Katherine
Lee Of the Fox force of actors were
just about the cutest children he had
ever seen. He still admits that they
are clever, but not as much as he
thought at one time. In fact, he is
feeling Foxier than he has ever been
known to. He has not been seen for
the last few days but that there was
a smile all over his face and meeting
somewhere in the back part of his
neck. The reason? Oh, boy! And it
is a dandy, weighed nine pounds and
can almost lick his father. Oh, boy!

RUSSIAN is CALLED MYSTIC
His Character on Surface Seems to Be
Readily orasped But He Fur
nishes Surprise, Says Novelist.

Hugh Walpole has been much in
Russia during the past two momentous
years, says the London Mail. He has
the keenest interest in Russia as ma
ton and the Russians as a people,.
apart from the service they are giving
as powerful unit in the allied repulse
to German aggression. From first to
last he has found Russia an object of
study and In many ways a problem.
The following analysis, taken bodily
from his novel, 1.-THE Dark Forest" re-
veals the very spirit of Russia:
However deeply Russian may ad-
nit an Englishman into friendship he
can, to the very last, puzzle, confuse
and utterly surprise him. The Rus
sian character seems, superficially with
its lack Of restraint, it's idealism, its
impracticability, its mysticism, its
material simplicities, to be so readily
grasped, that the surprise that finally
remains Is the more dumfounding.
Perhaps, after all, it Is the very close
ness of our resemblance the one to- the
other that cOnfuses us. 1t Is, perhaps,
that in the Russian soul the East can
never be reconciled to the West; that
the Russian never reveals his sacred
ideal, even to himself; far distant is it
then from his friend. Whatever it be,
the surprise remains. For to those
whom Russia and her people draw
back again and again, however strong
ly they resist, the sure truth stands:
that here there is a mystery, mys-
terry that may never be discovered.
In the very soul of Russia the mystery
is stirring; the restlessness, the great
ness. the disappointment, the vision of
the pursuit is working!"

CARE IN MAKING PROMISES
Can't Be Carried Out, As Keeping
Ones Word. Is Important.

Keep your promises-so don't make
any you can't fill.
Don't make any in conflict with
agreements.
Neglecting the exact terms Of a def.
mite promise is often a very serious
thing.
The keeping of promises in business
transactions Is the "sheet anchor" in
the establishing OF credit among ones
business associates.
The world of business places great
value on promises.
Not only in all business transactions
but in everyday life, the keeping OF
promises should be looked after with
care.
Whatever you do, keep your word,
for the man who breaks his promises
even in little things is sure to break
them in more important ones.
1t Is a good plan when making a
promise as to appointments to jot
down in memorandum book the
mans name, so that no mistakes can
be made.
1t is question of obligations that
is not cancelled until it is paid.
The man whose promise or WORD
can be relied upon is the one whose in
fiuence is far-reaching in any commun-
ity or in any business.
Keep your promises-so don't make
any you can't fill.-New York Mail.

Development Of AIrpIane.

USE OF BARBED-wIRE IN WAR
Erection Of Trench EntanoIements
One Of the Most Dangerous Fea-
lures Of the Soldiers Work.

The erection Of war entanglements.
tance apart, is at all times dangerous.
The men slip over the parapet and,
in the first place, pound in the sup
ports with mallets, the heads of which
are carefully wrapped in cloth in or
der to deaden the sound. Two men
carry the wire drum-a wooden cyl
inder round which the wire is rolled
by means of long pole through
the center, and cOmrade attaches the
wires to the supports. The work is
in the London Graphic, for star shells
burst often, and compel the men to
crouch low and remain motionless un-
til the flare burns out.
To each soldier who takes part in
modern warfare thick gloves for grip
ping wire and strong pliers for cut
ting 1t are as essential as the rifle and
bayonet. Before an assault by his
own regiment, the soldier cuts his
own wire, and he must then endeavor
as best he may to cut and hack his
way through the enemy's, pulling down
support here, cutting the wires while
the machine-gun batteries rap out
their message of death toward him.
Thus barbed-wire, so simple in itself.
so deadly when used in the ways de-
scribed, enters into every phase of op-

Don't Complain.

The world is full of complainers.
Some complain Of Ill health, many Of
Ill fortune and most Of all Of i'll luck.
A pound of pluck is worth ton Of
luck. 1t is not perfect world. Who
Is well every day throughout the year
without an ache, pain or cough?
Who is perfect In physique, in tenn
per, in deed and word and conscience?
What man or woman Is without a
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
1t is world of foibles, fads and
fanatics. If we were all perfect the
preachers would be needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There Is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. II all were alike the mo-
notony would be unbearable.
Think of those things when you feel
like repining over Ill health. I'll fortune,
Ill treatment or Ill luck.

Burns Inconsistent in Love.

Burns love affairs were both the
product and the inspiration of his
genius, says the London Telegraph.
Although he had written to Clarinda of
Edinburgh that, compared with her,
Jean Armour was as the expiring
glimmer of a farthing taper beside the
glory of the meridian sun, he married
Jean within two months. Last year at
Sotheby's letter written week after
his marriage. vindicating Jean entirely,
fetched $3.50. A few days ago n Curl
GUS Burns letter was offered dated
June 26, 1888 (Burns was married
August 3, 17SS), in which he states:
II have waited on Mr.. Aud about my
marriage affair and stated that was
legally fined for an irregular marriage
by justice of the peace. He says If
bring an attestation of this by the
two witnesses there shall be no more
litigation about It," The illegal" mar
ringe which followed August 3 was mp
parently the solution of the trouble.
Doubts raised In the auction room as
to the authenticity of the letter were

HAS UNIQUE PLANT
South Carolina Man Has Estab-
Iished Grasshopper Cannery.
Has Perfected Several Processes for
Preparation Of Meat for
Human Consumption.

Douglas ]. Mulloy of Fairbanks, 8.
G., has recently enlarged his grusshop-
per cannery to several times its orig
inal size to accommodate the increased
number of orders received for his man
ufactured product. Hitherto Mulloy
has made meager living by catching
grasshoppers, picking them in alcohol,
and shipping them in ordinary guam
titles to high-schOOl laboratories where
they are used for dissection in biology
classes. But recently Mulloy received
IA Syrian, by the way-asking him If
he could ship canned grassh0ppers in
quantities, cooked merely-not pre-
served in alcohol. Mulloy replied that
he could, and soon all the small boys
in Fairbanks were out with nets and
the grasshopper population of the place
began to diminish. The business grew
from that time on.
To make long story short, Mulloy
now has large factory devoted to the
grasshopper canning industry. He re-
ceives daily shipments from neighbor
ing localities and Is planning to estab-
lish agencies in all parts of North and
South America for the collection of the
raw product and the distribution of it
when finished.
He has perfected several ways by
which grasshopper meat can be pre-
pared for human consumption. One
process treats the raw product in such
way that all hard, stiff or bony parts
of the insect are softened; then the
whole is seasoned and pressed into
cakes. Another grasshopper food prod
uct is made by frying them crisp like
French fried potatoes. These are
sealed in air-tight packages and sold
under the name of ''hopper-crisps."
The most delicious of Mulloy's novel
products is said to be the grasshopper
preserves, which are made by boiling
the insects down thick in molasses. In
ture of raw tomato and cheese with
dash of pepper. They chew like crab
meat.
AIulloy is able to produce his prod
ucts very cheaply owing to the>negligi-
ole cost of the raw material and his
use of child labor. They retail for 10
cents pound, pressed or fried, and
for Is cents a can, preserved. Food
experts testify that they are rich in
nourishment, being S5.4 per cent pro-
teid, 1O.6S per cent carbohydrate, and
2 per cent fat.
