"TRICK.FIIiMS"
Made by Changing 'ObjectWhile Cam
era Rests.

''The so-called 'trick-ilm' is, OF
course, made somewhat differently
for the surprising effects in these are
nearly all obtained by Photographic
Illusions. For instance, we have all
seen the pieces Of dough that the
cooks dream puts through all sorts
Of mysterious motions, seemingly OF
its own volition,' writes William C.
Lengel and Brett Page in Showing
the Way for Photo-Play Writers, u
in the July Green Book Magazine.
'The cook falls asleep in her chair
beside the dough-board, and bust
picture is made-that is, the object
It is desired to make prominent, Is
brought close to the camera. We
then see the pieces of dough detach
themselves from the great mass she
has been kneading. These pieces roll
up into figures Of men and women
who move and walk about in gar
den made Of pieces of dough, which
detach themselves and become flowers
and trees, castles and walls. No
hands are seen; those clever bits of
dough seem to do it of their own &C
cord. The miracle, however, is ac-
complished in this way:
when the dough-board is brought
close to the camera, the latter is stop
ped and a small piece of dough which
is to become the figure of man, is
broken off; one single picture is then
taken Of it. A head is then pinched
out and left lying by the big mass,
and single picture is made Of it,
Then that head is moved half way to
the body and single picture is taken,
the head is put on the body and an
other picture is taken. When you
realize that sixteen pictures are fash
ed on the screen in one second, you
will understand the tireless patience
a camera man must have to do to
accomplish this work.
"All magic pictures are made in the
same way. Take picture and stop;
move the object little; take another
picture and stop again. That is the
secret-

TALES OF OLD SANTA FE TRAIL.
Remarkable Story of How Bill Cole
Escaped from Death is Recalled.

Few men came nearer death on the
old Santa Fe Trail and lived to tell
the story than William Cole, mail
driver and plainsman in Kansas prior
to the Civil War Cole owed his life
to lucky accident which he, at first,
believed lost him his only chance to
escape from a band of marauding In
dians.
Cole left independence in October,
1859, as helper on the mail coach
then operated between Independence
and Santa Fe by Hall & Porter, from
tier contractors. Michael Smith was
in charge of the coach, with Lawrence
Smith, his brother, as second helper.
There were no passengers, on account
of the outbreak of the Kiowa Indians
a few weeks before.
The trip from independence to Cow
Creek was made without incident.
There the mail coach met party Of
soldiers under Major Sedgwick. Indi-
ans had been reported on the trail
ahead, so Major Sedgwick detailed 40
men to escort the mail to Pawnee
Fork, 55 miles distant, then consid-
cred the most dangerous part of the
trail.
No Indians were encountered, and
the party had supper at Pawnee Fork,
thinking all danger was past. AS was
customary, the mail coach continued
its journey. as soon as supper was
over. Short night drives were made
each one of the twenty-one days con-
sumed in transporting mail to New
Mexico.
The Smith brothers and Cole drove
quickly away from the soldiers, sing
ing snatches of song heard on their
last trip to civilization. At Jones's
Point, two and a half miles from the
soldiers camp, several Indians rode
alongside the coach.
How! How" they called. Cole an
swered them. Lawrence Smith, who
was driving, became little scared
and fingered his rifle nervously.
They mean murder" he whispered
to Cole Cole made light of his fears,
saying they were too close to the SOL
diers.
"A cracker or twoll satisfy them,''
he said.
All travellers carried hard tack
crackers. Acting on his own sugges-
tion Cole crawled to the rear boot
of the coach and began opening tin
of crackers. While he was behind
the curtain more Indians rode up and
fired shower of arrows at the two
Smiths. Michael was killed. Law
renee began to shout. A rife ball
then ended his life.
Cole jumped from the boot back

sound. He grabbed a rife and hasti-
ly fred. Then he picked up the whip
cracked it over the heads of the nine
mules hitched to the coach. They
started of at a gallop, the Indians
following. For half an hour the
race continued. 1t was nearly dark
Finally as Cole turned to shoot the
mules swerved from the trail, struck
a gully and threw Cole headlong.
But what apparently meant death
saved his life. Without weapons he
started running down the ravine and
in the gathering darkness made his
escape to the soldiers camp. A
scouting party went out immediate
ly, finding only the scattered contents
of the mail bags and the bodies of the
two unfortunate drivers.-Kansas

ers had been sold, the club would be

Mayor Harrison confined himself al
most entirely to the county candidates,
giving a blanket Endorsement to the

How can we show our approval of
the remarkable administration of

There is only one way. If you vote
the democratic ticket you vote to ap-
prove the acts of the democratic presi-
dent and congress. If YOU vote for
any other party you vote to condemn
that splendid unselfish record of
Wilson achievement.
Mr.. Robins says he approves the
Wilson peace policy. Well and good.
Ask him, however, about the Wilson
tariff policy and he won't say he will
support that.

Changes Are Made.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Adjournment
of congress at 6 tonight seemed as
sured when the session began at 10
this morning. The house killed time
at the opening by reading the journal
in full while awaiting the conference
report and the war revenue bill.
When the conference report was
brought in by Representative Under
wood one hour was allowed for dis
cussion. Reduction of the senate tax
on beer from S1.75 to S1.50 and elimi-
nation of the five cents a gallon on
rectified spirits had removed all op-
position.
The conference report was adopted,
126 to 81 While the report went to
the Senate FOR action the mouse took
up the cotton warehouse bill. Repre-
sentative Henry forced a roll call.
Later it was agreed to take up the
cotton bill provided a special rule un-
der which amendments to the bank
law being considered could be disposed
of.
The house adopted the report and
passed the customary resolution noti-
flying the president it was ready to
adjourn. Meanwhile leaders of both
houses got word that the president had
expressed the opinion at conference
with newspaper correspondents that
the cotton warehouse bill and bank
act amendment permitting issue of
federal reserve notes on commercial
paper to the full capital and surplus
of banks should be passed before ad-
iournment II seemed that both could
pass in time. When the Adjournment
resolution reached the senate it was
