PEOPLE WHO “BUTT IN” WHEN
CAMERA IS WORKING.
Scenes Carefully Arranged by Moti
Ing Picture Artists Are Dis
turbed and Rendered
Useless.
"Our work Is sometimes seriously
interfered with by the buttinskis, and
then again there are times when their
slamming in helps us," said the man
ager of a moving picture concern, who
himself frames up the incident* and
supervises the taking of the pictures.
! "It is impossible to guard against ths
folks with the butting-la habit, for
when they see anything unusual com
ing off on the street or In any publlo
l place their natural busybody Instinct
takes bold of them, and they’re bound
j to nudge up and taks a* hand la ths
proceedings.
"Over in Trenton a few weeks ago
! fixed up a horsewhipping scene.
I The first part of the set was easy
' enough to get It was a scene in a
restaurant, in which a pretty girl,
i seated at a table a little distance away
from another table at which a frolic
| some man with a homely wife is din
ing, falls to making goo-goo eyes at
the man.
"The second scene, in which I ar
ranged to have the horsewhipping take
place, took place outside the restau
rant. We’d got police permission to
take the pictures, and I had two or
three men stationed in front of the
icotuuiuui iu uic vwnu uova
while the phony horsewhipping was In
progress.
"When everything was all set and
the machine was snapping away at the
homely wife laying the lash across
the face and shoulders of the flirta
tious girl—the lash looked like rattan,
but It was a phony, and didn’t hurt
at all—our troubles began.
'‘‘“"First a big vannigan of a man
slamm&b'v&i and grabbed my homely
woman by her lash-wielding arm,
bawling that he didn't believe In see
ing no woman stinging another wom
an like that, and that queered one set
of films. The machine had to be
stopped while the big buttinski was
being Informed that the thing was
only a tableau, and that he didn't
belong to the picture.
"He took the gibes of the crowd sour
ly, at that, and looked to be in so
much of a mind to kick our gear to
pieces that I had to get a cop to walk
him down the street.
"When we got all set again and the
horsewhipping of the flirtatious girl
was once more going on a scrawny
hatchet-faced woman, who had just
Joined the outer circle of the crowd,
and who wasn’t up to what was com
ing off, rushed into the scene with a
shriek, grabbed my two acting women
by the hair, and started In to rough
house them both for their ‘indecency
In fighting on the street,’ as she yelled
at them. The machine had to be
stopped again.
"The incident as I had framed It
up didn’t call for anything like that
I had it arranged that after the whip
ping had proceeded for a space the
guilty husband of the homely wife
was to rush in and attempt sep
arate the two women, when Lis wife
was to turn on him with the lash, caus
ing him to skiddoo down the street
The girl with the goo-goo eyes w’as to
seize the whip from the other wom
an’s hands and start in to get hunk
for the cutting she’d received, the
scene .ending up that way.”
DETHRONING OF ALCOHOL.
Being Brought About by the Mod
ern Spirit of Scientific
Research.
Another potent factor in the dethron
ing of alcohol has been the spirit of
scientific research of recent years, says
in Open Letter, in Century. In the
great laboratories scientists have been
rarefqlly studying the effects of alco
holic liquors upon the various organs
of the body, and, although they differ in
their conclusions upou some poims, rue
result is that those physicians who have
most closely followed these investiga
tions have, almost or entirely, abjurea
alcoholics as a necessary part of their
therapeutic outfit. These elaborate
studies of alcohol have convinced many
that the nourishing and strengthening
properties formerly ascribed to alcohol
ics existed only in the imagination, and
belong to the errors of an age which had
no facilities for accurate observation.
The food qualities of the grains and
fruits, it is now believed by many au
thorities, are destroyed in the process of
making alcoholic drinks. Even the
stimulating qualities ascribed to alcohol
are denied by many, who class it among
the narcotics because of its depressant
effect.
When Game Wa3 Cheap in K&neaa.
Even as late as 18S6 and 1887 veni
son was as cheap as beef in the fall
the choicest cuts selling for 12^6 cents
| a pound, while wild turkeys could be
| had for 75 cents each when tanae tur
keys no larger sold for a dollar. Brant
or wild geese were hard to get rid of,
: as no one liked their meat. There
j was little fishing, not nearly so good
i as now, and the fish were nearly all
perch or cat. The fine herd of 200
head of deer in Uncle Joe Lewis’ deer
park came from a pair he caught In
the early days and penned up In a
pasture lot.—Anthony Republican.
Congo Salt Marshes.
Along the central part of the Conge
river there are a number of salt
marshes. The Africans dig shallow
holes In these, whence Issue streams
of hot water which, on being evap
orated, leave* a residue of salt.
TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
_
People and Stock Are KITlod by Saw
age £ easts in Mexican
Territory.
Tigers, driven from their mounts!*
islre In the territory at Teplc by the
scarcity of food, continue to ravage the
haciendas of the valleys. They are be
coming such a general danger, says tha
Mexican Herald, that the municipal au
thorities have offered a reward of $10
tor every tiger's skin.
For the past several months great
numbers at the animals have swarmed
through the marshes of the lowlands
along the coast and In the valley* of
the territory of Teplc, having bee*
driven out of the states of Sinaloa and
Sonora by the floods and the extf%mely
cold weather. The damage caused to
the h&mendadoe and the danger In
curred by the presenes of the anlmsls
was such that many at them offered
! rewards for the skins of ths aaitals
j some time ago.
The tigers, however, seem to like the
warm weather and the good food that
: they are getting in- Teplc and instead of
) decreasing their numbers have greatly
increased within the last few weeks.
Now the municipal authorities of the
territory have also offered a reward for
the skins of the animals.
The tigers have become so bold that
they will enter the houses on the plan,
t.atious and help themselves to what,
ever comes in their path. Severs!!
deaths are reported in different parts
of the territory. In many sections of
the state it is necessary to have armed
guards stationed at night, to insure
the safety of the other people in the
settlement*.
Live stock is suffering more than
anything else. With the slight pro
visions that are necessary for the shel
ter of the stock, It leaves them In most
caaes without any protection at all
from the beasts. Even the presence
of numerous guards around a bunch of
cattle Is oftentimes insufficient to keep
the tigers from getting away with an
animal or two from along the edges
of ths herd.
Hunting for the animals has been
greatly stimulated by the offers of the
government and scores of hunters are
scouring the country for them. The
number of the skins that have been
turned in thus far is large and it is
hoped that it will not be long before
the animals are driven back to the
seclusion of the mountains.
WAKING IN THE WILDERNESS
How to Get Out of Bed When the
Thermometer Registers Forty
Below Zero.
Tou are awakened in the bitter dark
ness of the early morning by the
wound of the camp dogs moving among
the frozen palls of refuse. You hear
their padding footsteps passing this
way and that outside of the tents and
the brushing of their bodies against
the canvas walls. Then you hear the
sound of chopping wood where some
one is at work in the starlight, says
the Boston Globe. One of the men
stirB and rises in the darkness. The
tent Is bitter cold, with everything
frozen as hard as iron. You hear the
man fumbling around in the darkness
for the matches, and presently hs
strikes one and lights a candle.
Presently he begins chopping the
wood for the stove, and his big. round
shadow moves uncouthiy and gro
tesquely about the walls as the flame
of the candle wavers in the draught
of cold air. He makes a fire, and in
a moment the flame is roaring up the
stovepipe, which gradually becomes a
dull red with the gushing heat. He
stands with his back to the stove and
presently the other man rises and
joins him.
Then you yourself move reluctantl;
in your warm swaddling of furs, and
with some effort crawl out into the
bitter cold and joint the others around
the stove. None of you speak, but
each absorbs the scanty heat in
silence. By and by, warmed to some
return of life, you peep out of the
tent; the sky is like black crystal, the
stars shining with incredible efful
gence. From the stovepipe of the
otner tents rocnets or name are gusn
ing up Into the air; showers of sparki
rise up into the night high overhead
—hover, waver, and then sink dwind
ling upon the tent and tfeo surround
ing snow.
You look at the thermometer hang
ing against a tree and see by the llghl
of a match that It is 40 degrees below
zero. By this time the smell of cook
ing is filling the silent frozen spaces
of the darkness and you reenter the
tent to hug again the warmth of th«
stove, with a huge appetite for the
rude breakfast of melted grease and
glllettes.
Explosions on Old Battle-Fields.
The forests In the mountains known
as Loudon Heights, opposite Harper’s
Ferry, took fire recently and burned
! with great intensity. After some time
a series of explosions were heard
1 which startled the inhabitants, and the
concussion was so great that it broke
windows in some houses in Harper’s
Ferry, across the Shenandoah. The ex
: plosions were caused by the bursting
of shells which had been thrown on
the heights at the time when Gen.
Mills surrendered to Stonewall Jack
son in 1862. These had failed to ex
plode when they were fired, and h&d
remained there for more than 40 yean.

Keep
Your Nerve
It is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force ; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with Dr. Miles' Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
“I take pleasure in recommending
Dr Miles' Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostration, insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
1 tried this medicine and found imme
diate relief, it soothes and s’rength
ens the nerves, chases away the
gloomy and depressing thoughts and
gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. It is a superb nerve re
storer."
