RUIN THE PICTURES,
PEOPLE WHO "BUTT IN" WHEN
 CAMERA IS WORKING.
Scenes Carefully Arranged by Mov, 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 theiy slamming in helps us," said the man. ager of moving picture concern, who himself frames up the incidents and supervises the taking of the pictures Tt Is impossible to guard against the folks with the butting-jn hahit for when they see anything unusual com ing off on the street or in any public place their natural busybody instinct takes hold of them. and they're bound to nudge up and take . hand In the proceedings.
 "Over in Trenton few weeks ago ! fixed up a horsewhipping scene. The first part of the set was easy enough to get. It was a scene In 6 restaurant, in which a pretty girl, seated at table little distance away from another table at which a frolic some man with homely wife is din. ing, falls to making goo-goo eyes at the man.
 "The second scene, fin 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 restaurant to keep the crowd back while the phony horsewhipping was in progress.
 When everything was all get and the machine was snapping away at the homely wife laying the lash across the face and shoulders of the firta- tious girl-the lash looked like rattan. but 1t was phony, and didn't hurt at all-our troubles began.
 "1rirst big vannigan of man slammeaA4n and grabbed my homely woman by her lash-wlelding 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 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 cop to walk him down the street.
 "When we got all set again and tho horsewhipping of the f1irtatious girl was once more going on 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 had framed 1t up didn't call for anything like that had 1t arranged that after the whip ping had proceeded for space the guilty husband of the homely wife was to rush in and attempt 70 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 was to seize the whip from the other wom- ans hands and start in to get hunk for the cutting she'd received. the scene ending up that way"

TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
People and Stock Are Killed by Sav- age Beasts in Mexican
 Territory.

Tigers, driven from their mountatn tairs in the territory ct Topic by the scarcity of food. continue to ravage the haciendas of the valleys. They are be- coming such . general danger, says tho Mexican Herald that the municipal au- sherities have offered . reward of $1c tor every tigers skin.
 For the past several months great numbers o1 the animals have swarmed through the marshes of the lowlands along the coast and In the valleys of the territory Of Topic, having bseH driven out Of the states of sinaloa and Sonora by the foods and the sxt1~msly cold weather. The damage caused to the haciendados and the dange. h. cured by the presence of the animsls was such that many 1 them offered rewards for the skins of the aniA4als some time ago.
 The tigers, however, seem to like the warm weather and the good food that they are getting in Topic and instead of decreasing their numbers have greatly increased within the last few weeks. AS0" Sao LuuhtSlPai dUtuOLiIiek tI luo territory have also offered reward for the skins of the animals.
 The tgsrs have become so bold that they will enter the houses on the plan- tations and help themselves 10 what, aver comes in their path. Several deaths are reported in different parts of the territory. In many sections of the state 1t is necessary to have armed guards stationed at night, to insure the safety of the other people in Che settlements.
 Live stock Is suffering more than anything else. With the slight pro- visions that are necessary for the shel- ter of the stock, 1t leaves them in most cases without any protection st 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 tho herd
 Hunting for the animals has been greatly stimulated by the offers of the government and scores of hunters are securing the country for them. The number of the skins that have been turned in thus far is large and 1t is hoped that 1t will not be long before the animals are driven back to the seclusion of the mountains.

When Game Was Cheap in Kansas

Even as late as 1886 and 1887 veni son was as cheap as beef in the fall the choicest cuts selling for 12h cents pound, while wild turkeys could be had for 75 cents each when tame tur- keys no larger sold for dollar. Brant or wild geese were hard to get rid of, as no one liked their meat. There was little fishing, not nearly so good 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 pair he caught in the early days and penned up in a pasture lot.-Anthony Republican.

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.
 "T take pleasure in recommending Dr Miles Nervine to those suffering from nervous prostration. insomnia and melancholy. After several months suffering from above diseases l tried this medicine and found imme- diate relief. It soothes and strength ems the nerves, chases away the gloomy and depressing thoughts and gives the sufferer renewed strength and hope. It is a superb nerve re- storer."

From Jamestown, at the time of the
meeting OF the republican state con-
Esntion, there went a telegram to the
effect that Governor Davidson of
Wisconsin had sent a message to the
Leaders of the insurgents, expressing
Them his sympathy and extending the
hope that they would be successful in
the future. Now comes a statement
10 the effect that Governor Davidson
sent no such telegram and the ques-
ton arises as, to the authorship of the
statement that such a telegram was
received. The republicans of X the
state of North Dakota fought out their
battle within their own ranks and
more than 800 out of 467 delegates
selected a ticket. IT. would have been
at least extremely presumptuous for
Governor Davidson or any other gov
arnor to have sent a telegram infer
ring that the majority Of the republi-
ran delegates were not as well in
formed as to the desires of the repub-
IIcans OF this state as he. The gov
grnor's denial of the telegram proves
that II is his own desire and inten-
ton to attend to his own business and
that Of the state of Wisconsin, all OF
Whieh is right and proper. Ss #
