Country Boy Roles Played BY Charles

Il Tot1e1r cor1E oUT y AAT:l

People have fallen into the habit
of calling every picture in which
Charles Ray appears with a rustic
background typical Ray picture'
and letting it go at that. This would
seem to indicate that the youthful
stars characterizations are largely all
alike, which is not true.
Mr.. Ray is one of the most versatile
stars of the screen. Reviewing some
of his most recent pictures reveals
the fact that in the last year he has
appeared in such widely diversified
roles as prize fighter, crack base
ball player, hotel clerk, an express
man, bank clerk, a son of poor but
honest parents, a son of rich but un'
scrupulous parents, an English arts
tocrat and finally, detective.
He has the last named part in his
newest Thomas H. 1nce picture, "A
Village Sleuth," in which he will be
seen at the Majestic Theatre for two
days, commencing Thursday, April II
next Mr. Ray is small town lad
with ambitions to become a great de-
tective, and, securing position as
chore boy in rest sanitarium, he I'M
expectedly is given an opportunity tc
show his sleuthing ability. And makes
good. Jerome Storm directed the pic
ture, which is a Paramount release
and Winifred MISSIONER is the leading
woman.

FIRST VENTURE or Upton
Friend Tells How He TOOK Chance
With Patrons of Rundown
Grocery.


DR.. J. FL. 0strender, personal friend
of Sir Thomas Upton, told recently for
the first time the story of Lipton's inl-
tlal business venture, an exchange
states.
Lipton's first business venture was
an event In one little corner Of GIas-
Cow. He bought for few pounds d
sorry old rundown provision shop that
had changed hands score OF times !;
everybody had failed. 1t was in a
neighborhood where profits were mea
ger and housewives close traders, and
where sharp practice and Indifferent
ethics precluded credit So when LIP
ton announced that ne would trust any
decent neighbor once all foresaw his
doom.
Upton, however, did not mean that
he would carry accounts 30 days, for
az this period five such accounts would
have swamped him. As he himself put
it: Elm misfortune / will carry any de-
cent chap till Saturday night. | will
be a friend to you In spite of prevail
ing business rules; but IL you break

rich nor shabby. He was a tall man
but gave no impression of strength
because of the exceeding spareness of
his frame. AS long as he remained
In the crowd, he wasn't important
enough to be studied But soon he
turned off, through the park, and
straightway found himself alone.
The noise and hustle of the crowd
never loud orsstartling, but so contfn-
uous that the senses are scarcely
more aware Of them than of the beat
ing OF ones own heart-suddeniy and
utterly died almost at the very border
of the park. The noise from the
street seemed wholly unable to pene-
trate the thick branches of the trees.
He could even hear the leaves whisk-
Ing and flicking together, and when a
man can discern this, he can hear the
cushions of mountain lion on a trail
at night. OF course Dan Failing had
never heard mountain lion. Except
! on the railroad tracks between, he
had never really been away from
cities In his life.
AT once his thought went back to
the Doctors words. They were still
repeating themselves over and over
in his ears, and the Doctors face was
still before his eyes. 1t had been a
kind face; the lips had even curled In
little smile of encouragement. But
the doctor had been perfectly frank,
entirely straightforward. There had
been no evasion In his verdict.
sI've made every test" he said.

The Problem of Food.

The man or woman who lives on
weli-cooked food has more ambition
and more strength to do the worth
while things In life than the one who
eats irregularly and amid unpleasant
surroundings. says Good Housekeep-
Ing. 1t isn't necessary that large
amounts of money should be spent for
food, but 1t Is essential that thought
and care should be mixed with every
menu. Some day those who now look
upon the preparation of meals as irk-
some may get the new vision-the big
idea that food and progress are linked
together, and that without vision OF
the true place Of good food In our
daily lives from childhood to old age,
the people perish

II might be nice to go to France and
live In some country inn until he died.
But he didn't have very long to think
upon this vein. For at that instant
the squirrel came down to see II he hai
a nut.
II was the squirrel of Destiny. Blu
Dan didn't know It then.
Bushy-tail was not particularly
afraid of the human beings that
spassed up and down the park. because
he had learned by experience that they
usually attempted no harm to him.
But, nevertheless. he had his Instincts
lie didn't entirely trust them. After
several generations, probably the
squirrels of this park would climb all
over its visitors and sniff In their ears
and investigate the back OF their
necks But this wasn't the way OF
Bushy-tail. He had come too recent
ly from the wild places. And he Won
dered most intensely, whether this
tall, forked creature had pocket full
of nuts. He swung down on the
grass to see.
"Why, you little DEVIL" Dan said
in whisper. His eyes suddenly
sparkled with delight. And he forgot
all about the Doctors words and his
own prospects In his bitter regrets
that he had not brought pocketful
of nuts.
And then Dan did curious thing.
Even later, he didn't know why he did
1t, or what gave him the idea that he
could decoy the squirrel up to him by
doing 1t. That was his only purpose
just to see how close the squirrel
would come to him. He thought nc
would like to look into the bright eyes
at close range. All he did was sud
denly to freeze into one position--in
an instant rendered as motlonless as
the rather MISUNDERSTANDING stone
stork that was perched on the foun'
tain.

Preserving Spiders Webs.

Amateur entomologists will be inter
ested In a suggestion made by Doctor
Lutz for the preservation of all kinds
of spiders webs, says the Independent.
The webs should be sprayed from an
atomizer with artists shellac, and
then, II they are of the ordinary geo
metric form, pressed carefully against
a glass plate, the supporting strands
being at the same time severed. After
the shellac Is dried. the plates carry
Ing the webs can be stored away In a
cabinet. Even dome-shaped webs may
be preserved In their original form
by spraying them with shellac and
then allowing them to dry before re-
moval from their supports. Many
spiders webs are very beautiful, and
all have interesting characteristics Of
the species to which they belong.

cause Is nothing but rock thrown
into q pond Of infinity. and the ripple
that is Its effect keeps growing and
growing forever.
The little incident that is the real
beginning of this story was Of no
more importance than a pebble thrown
into the snow-water pond; but Its eff
feet was to remove the life of Dan
Failing, since grown up, far out OF
the realms of the ordinary.
And that brings all matters down
to 1919, in the last days of particu-
larry sleepy summer. You would hard

And the place where used to be the
pool and the playground OF Dan Fail
ing is now laid off In as green and
pretty city park as one could wish
to see.
Some day. when the city becomes
more prosperous, pair OF swans and
herd of deer are going to be intro
duced. TO restore some of the natural
wild life of the park. But In the sum-
mer of 1919, a few small birds and
possibly half a dozen pairs of squir-
refs were the extent and limit OF the
wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one of these squir-
rels was perched on wide-spreading
limb overarching gravel path that
slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with o
nut.
There was bench beneath the tree.
1t there had not been, the life of Dan
Failing would have been entirely diff
ferent. re the squirrel had been on
any other tree, If he hadn't been
hungry, If any one of dozen other
things hadn't been as they were, Dan
Failing would have never gone back
to the land of his people. The little
bushy-tailed fellow on the tree limb
