Told o, John Burroughs.

John Burroughs, the naturalist, was
not interested in natures larger as
poets. Geysers and volcanoes boreo
him. His one exception was the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, which ne
called "the Divine Abyss" Despite
his intentness on study when boy,
Burroughs was fond Of girls and kept
a systematic record OF his engage
ments with them, writers on his life
say.

Movie Stuff

A federal judge recently told
Charlie Chaplin's attorney that he
had never seen the comedian in a
film. And what's more, he had never
seen any motion picture.
Motion pictures have been pro-
duced for 2 decaS es. They are one Of
the marvels of marvellous age.
Their art has not yet been perfected
but they have already attracted the
attention and labors of leaders in all
other arts.
There may be wide divergence of
op ,nion as TO the worth Of photo
plays as entertainment, but there is
no gainsaving that anyone can learn
something from them. Even a fed
eral Judge in New York City might
be surprised to see his own likeness

A topped ball is not really hit on

him with the st. Louis star pitcher.

twenty-five syears old. He has The
steadiness that green youngsters
seldom have. He has fair speed

control is what gets him by.
