THE HISTORY OF THE PHoTOPLAY.
Hammond, Ind, Aug. 3.
Editor TINES:
Even the exhibitor who makes his
living by showing motion pictures to
the public has usually a very vague
conception of the way in which the pic
lures are made. OF course he knows
In a general way that the actors must
be trained in their work, that money
must be spent for costumes, scenery
and properties, and that each scene
must be rehearsed number of times
before 1t is taken by the camera
Therefore it is little wonder that so
few outside the business know any
thing about the course of a motion pic
ture from the brain of the scenario
writer to its distribution in tin boxes
to the theaters of the whole world.
To most people 1t is merely an eve
ning's pleasant entertainment, without
thought OF the labor, both mental and
physical, the time or the expense OF
the wonderful result they see thrown
on the screen. And yet the moving
picture business is comparatively new
and there are no limits to its future
possibilities or opportunities for seen
open and their brains working. Hun
dreds of scenarios are received by the
editors and producers every week most
of which are unavailable for some rea-
son or other, just as is the case with
literary contributions to popular maya
zines and those that cannot be used
are returned to their writer's The
few available ones are then sent 10 the
main office to be filed away until the
time comes for production. the author
being paid at once. From ten to one
hundred dollars. in rare instances are
paid for scenarios, the price varying
with the merits of the story.
The scenario accepted. the producer
must pick out his locations, costumes,
scenery and castles. Both he and the
actors must get into the spirit of the
story. Then. after many rehearsals,
the scenes are filmed. fitted together.
ficials and sent on it's way. This is in
brief the history of the photoplay or
motion picture.
And perhaps some of my aspiring
friends may also attain success in this
new literary field If they will only keep
their eyes open. watch the rehearsals
and profit by what they see. 1t takes
time, application, unending labor and
perhaps many disappointments to sue
coed In this business, but the game is
worth the effort.

Heart toHeart
I a1ks.
TO A HUSBAND.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Mr., Man, when you go home at
night you like nothing better than to
get inside your smoking jacket and
slippers and rest. And when your
wife wants you to go with her some
where you are quite put out.
But
Ask yourself. What has the wife
been doing the long day. and whom
has she seen? The grocer boy. or the
iceman. or possibly the woman next
door, with whom she has exchanged a
few words. She has scarcely been out
of the house. while you have seen
many people and things.
She is made of the same sort Of stuff
human stuff-as you.
In a little town In Iowa a fine mid
die aged woman, devoted to her fam
lily. went out one morning and set fire
to the barn. She died a month later
In an asylum.
Too much TO occupy her hands and
too little TO occupy her mind" said the
doctor.
Do you see?
Her husband was a good man as
men go. But the wife. whose work
was never done and whose personality
held the family together. was sacrifc-
ing every fiber of her being as wife
and mother. and the husband did not
see. Her only diversion was church on
Sundays-when she could 60.
You say the case is an extreme one
1t is. perhaps. but it may serve to give
you a womans point Of view.
Many a poor wife. driven by never
ending tasks. lacking recreation. has
developed unrest, brooded and some
times died-or done a foolish thing.
Do you wonder?
And If. added to her sense of grind
ing monotony. there is the sense of
neglect or disesteem. what may you
not expect?
Some day thing the husband never
dreamed of happens. And he cries
out, IT did not understand"
II you. a man. cannot sanely live
without change of scene or break OF
monotony, neither can the woman at
your side.
IL the faithful wife cannot leave her
duties in the daytime. but can do SO
when the supper dishes are done, go
with her whittier she wills to so. just
as you would have gone with her in
the old sweet days Of courtship.
Else you may some time deserve the
bitter apostrophe of the dying wife:
Carve not stone when I am dead.
The praises which remorsefui mourners
give
To women's graves, q tardy recompense
But speak them while l live.
Forget me when die. The vioiets
Above my rest will blossom just as blue
Nor miss thy tears Fen natures sell
forgets.
But while I live be true

Elephant Kills Rat
To Save Duck Eggs,

NEW YORK, June 9.-There is
one elephant. at least. that does
not believe in signs and traditions.
He is Gunda, large and old resi-
dent of the Bronx biological gar
dens. Yesterday he ruthlessly
dented a long accepted Oriental
belief that elephants are afraid of
rats and mice About ten days ago
keepers In the gardens discovered
three freshly laid duck eggs in a
nest in a corner of Gunda's cage.
They tried to remove them, but
the elephant made such a protest
they desisted. A great commo-
ton In the cage called Walter
Truman, the keeper, and several
attendants on the run. They
found Gunda believing trium-
phantly and swinging his trunk
over a crushed and flattened rat
at his feet. 1t Is the opinion of
the keepers that the rat was bent
on stealing the eggs when Gunda
interfered.

unable to take care of herself, and
called a patrol wagon from the Old

The woman said she was Bertha
Stanydmann, 81 years old, of No.

said the dogs name was Bobby
She was charged with intoxication
and sent to the West Thirtieth
street station, where there is a
matron. The police would not al
low the dog to ride in the wagon,
but he followed it to the Tender
loin station and refused to go away
so he was finally put in the cell
with his mistress.

and besides they spread all sorts

This is the man arrested in Ell

is Boer officer, husband OF an
American girl, resident of Mex

comes of a rich Boer family. Gen.
Ben Viljoen, a Boer in the insur-

would turn traitor to Madero, and
gave him $3.50 in cash on account.
Viljoen also charges that de Viii

dero general $4,000 also and

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.,. juno e.
Health COMMISSIONS r. A. Kraft
is trying to exterminate all the
rats in Milwaukee. 1t Is big
job. There are millions and mil
lions Of the rats. Estimates of the
destruction caused by rats In the
business section of the city alone
range from s150,00O to $500, 900
year.
1t is not so hard to kill the
rats, and the real poser is killing
the odor from the carcasses.
Four men have come forward,
each with a sort of "embalming
process, but none is entirely sue
cessful. A fifth slayer, a New
York concern, is now on the job.
This company has a very promis-
ing form of virus. Whether 1t
will do the. work remains to be
seen, but DIR. Kraft feels assured
that some sort of virus will be
the ultimate solution. That is,
the rats will be infected by a
deadly disease.
The virus is a mild poison, af-
fecting rats only. Once a rat gets
taste he pines away and dies.
