CATS CONFINED TO RANGE
Chicago Man Reports Success in Novel
Plan for Keeping Pete From
Straying Far Afield.

Another western idea was adapted
to city uses the other day when a
sOuth-sider, who once rode the range
on the Colorado plateaus, staked out
his cats TO keep them at home. The
plan worked fine and now the feline
animals get the air every day at the
ends of tether ropes.
The cat owner found that every
time he opened the cellar door the
pets made a break for the open, fire.
quently staying away for days and
returning with hlackened eyes and
scraI ched hides. He thought of the
tetheI plan, hut the first trial was not
a success, as the cats slipped the
noOses from their necks. He then
evolved a semi-hobble plan and tied
the heavy string To one of the cats
hind legs, attaching the other end OF
the string TO a stake driven in the
back yard
This system proved effective and
now every day three Of the eats take
their exercise around their tether
stakes.-Chicago Journal.

NOT A PROPER COMPARISON
Ten-Year-OId Quickly Seized on Weak
Point in Argument Put Forth
by His Daddy.

Writers have long We'd in their eff
forts to describe properly the tooth
sOmeness, as well as the downright
stupidity, of the ordinary domestic

Lawrence, age ten, for number of
years has been able to provide the
most ample concrete evidence of his
due appreciation of the former, but
it was only recently that the latter
was brought forcibly home to him.
After vainly trying for some time
to drive an obstreperous hen from
the garden. he called to his father

no reason why every member Of a

Every boy and every girl Of a GER

But of course there is also much
TO be said about every creature be-
longing to a butterfly family dressing
alike, because it is easier then for
people TO know which family we be-

1t is very hard otherwise.

and ways.
"'SOme of our relatives look like
small snakes while still they are cater

much like snakes and they sit up in

They think it makes them look
dangerous and that it is a great pro-
lection to them.

being a caterpillar into being a butter

is to have such a family name as we
have, for Tiger SwallOwtail is a beauti-
ful family name
I'VE can be quite gentle and yet we
sound very wild, and 1t is rather fun
TO sound wild and yet not to have to
do a lot of wild things which would
be very hard to do and which would
frighten us a lot.
E" I'm sure the wild things the tiger
does would brighten US dreadfully.
He would go off for hunting par
ties which we wouldn't like at all.
One of our family saw a tiger at the
circus the other day, and he said that
the tiger was a wild looking creature,

actual gold was worth 80 per cent
more. The officer rightly insisted that

BIBLE ROMANCES
FOR PHOTO PLAYS
Literary Masterpieces of the
Bible Will be Used by
American Company.

Los ANG ELES, Nov. 1.-THE
popularity OF the Bible as a literary
masterpiece is expected to be great
ly increased as a result OF the pro-
duction Of Biblical photo plays by
a company soon 20 be formed here.
Frederic Vroom, former Shake
spearian player and for the last
eight years . photoplay actor. with
more than 500 appearances in pre-
sensations Of the largest concerns TO
his credit. is TO be director general
Of the new enterprise.
1T IS the expectation Of the back
ors Of the new project that the pop
Uiarity OF the Bible will become
more universal through the depic-
ton in films Of some Of the many
great stories that it contains, said
Mr. Vroom. AT first the Biblical
subjects will be limited 10 two reels,
but later longer films will be made.
There are $4,000 churches Of
AN denominations in the United
States and If only a comparatively
small fraction OF them exhibit films
to their congregations It can be
seen what a stupendOus moral ap-
peal can be made to the American
public.
Must BE Christian.
1T is the intention of the new
company 10 make their subjects
strictly undenominational, so that
they can be shown in any church
without objections from any men-
Der No expense will be spared IN
making the films as attractive as
possible. At the same time great
care will be exercised IN making
the productions conform 10 the text
Of hte Bible.
1T will be a strict rule Of the
company that every one connected
with it in any way must be a Christ
ian OF good character. This will ap-
ply also 20 the actors and every
member Of the producing staff.
while the film subjects will be
expected 10 appeal primarily TO
churches they will also be available
for presentation in such OF the high
err class theaters as desire to portray
them. An investigation has shown
that many theaters will exhibit them
1T is my impression that the
Biblical films will do much 10 ele-
vate the motion picture industry as
a whole When producers find that
these historical narratives make a
winning appeal TO a large percent
age Of the public they will change
the tone of the offerings they are
now making"
Mr.. Vroom won distinction with
his appearance with Edwin Booth
I and Lawrence Barrett from 1856 20
1891. He became affiliated with the
film industry about ten years ago as
a director. but later became an ac-
tor. He has appeared with prac-
tically all Of the leading film stars.

at the local Paramount studios.
