20 NORTH farmer man, and plough

Alaska has decided to boost It's own
game, and its slogan sounds something
like the above revised GpelcyiSm. Some
$4,000 farmers are wanted 10 settle i'm the
lush valleys thru which the new Alaska
railway wendS its way. There is good
wheat land there, good vegetable and
berry land. excellent and great range for
cattle, and what territory isn't so good Is
still good enough for the reindeer that

mistake TO assume that this north country

son why their country cannot be the food

not. II now spends a million year for

is to other Pacific ports that now have

Thus the Alaska boosters boost. 1t all
sounds much like ''join the navy and see
the world" and be marine and get an
education" but what they say may have
as much or more basis in fact, even ut
that. Anyway, they want 10000 farmers
to know that there is gold there other
than that of the pick and pan and cradle,
and it is waiting for diggers.

asked.
"That isn't my Hetty," said Charlie.
"That isn't the girl / knew l loved the
little Hetty Kelly who was poor. This is
not she.'
Chaplin turned away that night defect
ed immeasurably. Hetty, too, was heart
broken. What was the matter? What
had gone wrong? What was it that had
turned the reunion they both had looked
forward to with such longing into the sor-
rowful, puzzled meeting that it had
been?
In the few weeks that elapsed before
Chaplin returned to America to begin the
work, which has made him what he is, they
did not meet again. The barrier persisted,
and each was too proud to try to break
it down.
Hetty married. and few months after
this her husband was killed in France, at
the outbreak of the war. Then her pride
did break and she sent Charlie at Holly
wood a long letter. What was in it no
one but Chaplin knows. He answered it
and followed as soon as his engagements
would let him.
He went straight from the dock to her
home in London. And as his taxi turned
into the street where was her house, he

Around the lower border of the nursery
Mildred and Charlie had an endless parade
of nursery characters. The room appeared
finished. But Mildred again called in the
decorators.
81 want some little mice painted on the
WALL" she said. 81 don't want my baby
to grow up afraid of mice. always was"
Charlie agreed. And so the pictures of
the scampering mice were painted on the
nursery walls. The 'rlittle mice" became
a matter of much fun making in the Chap
lin household Charlie told all his friends
about it and they never failed to make
mention of it when visiting Mildred. Then
it CHANGED one day that Mildred called
Charlie her "Big Mouse" The name stuck
and the "Big Mouse" and his youthful
wife tenderly awaited the coming of the
Little Mouse" while the world waited
and hoped with them. The day came.
Outside an Immediately white hospital
door Chaplin paced nervously. Imper-
turbable nurses and attendants glided in
and out silently. Minutes dragged into
hours. The door finally opened and a
smiling nurse summoned the famous
comedian to the bedside of his wife.
"a boy" she whispered.

Chaplin was overwhelmingly happy He
peered down into the little bundle of life
Struggled in Mildred's arms and smiled
proudly. The young mother met his eyes
radiantly.
"Our little mousse she whispered
So the little Chaplin baby became to
them "The Little Mouse" Soon it was
planned to christen him Charles Spencer
Chaplin, Jr. But again tragedy came into
the life of the great cinema clown. The
smile passed from his face. His dream
crumbled to bitterness.
The shades of the nursery were drawn.
"The Little Mouse" was dead.
In the hospital the young wife who
found motherhood rudely torn from her
slender arms turned her face to the pill
lows and wept when they told her 1t
was not a happy home which Mildred
found when she returned from the hos
pital. The little empty crib in the nursery
was an ever widening breach between the
Borrowing husband and wife. Perhaps
Charlie, in, his bitter disappointment, lost
much of his tenderness. The big Chaplin
home became the tomb of romance. The
doors of the nursery were locked now. 1t
was never to be used again.
Oddly enough, Chaplin at that. time
was filming "The Kid" which won him
new laurcls and brought Jackie Coogan
fame and favor. Perhaps in that produc-
ton Chaplin reflected most of his love for
boys. Who knows but that in Jackie
Coogan he saw all he had visualized in his
own boy? All wasn't comedy in "The
Kid" You remember the scene where
they took the waif away from Charley
who had picked him up in the streets Do
you recall the tears which brimmed in
the eyes of the comedian? 1t may be
that they were prop" tears. But
there are those who believe they were
genuine.
Unhappy months passed in the big
Chaplin home where only phantom foot
steps battered in the darkened nursery.
There were separations and reconcila-
tiOns. But the romance, too had died
The divorce soon followed. Mildred went
her way and Charlie closed up the house.
Then came a dozen rumOred engage
ments with this woman and that, and at
last the marriage with Lita Grey.
Now Charlie has his son and heir at
last, ''The KID that is all his own. Win

for him? Will it put to rest those
memories of little Hetty Kelly, the girl
with whom he has always been in love
What will it mean to Lita Grey, his wife?
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-02

saw the doors of this house open and six
men march down the steps with a coffin
on their shoulders.
In that coffin was little Hetty Kelly!
Few know that this is Charlie Chaplin's
second baby. 1t is probable that if the
first had lived that he and Mildred Harris
would still be man and wife. How much
Charlie thought of that first baby, and
how he built upon its arrival, is shown by
a tiny grave marked by, what is without
doubt, the strangest headstone in any of
Goods acres" The little grave is in the
Inglewood Cemetery, just few miles out
from Hollywood, where the comedian
turns out the films for the worlds laugh
ter. It lies on grassy knoll overlooking
a flowery pool which mirrors dropping
pepper trees above the fine marble slab.
On that slab is carved:
"THE LITTLE MOUSE

Visitors pause, wonderingly, as they
pass it. What can it mean? Some are
indignant, thinking it irreverance.
