fortunately, two of the most thrilling
and unusual of the films we're saved,
affording the opportunity to follow in
the chase of hunting leopard, and to
ride full cry after a great lioness.
Mr.. Rainey took with him about
fifty dogs on this expedition. Hunt
ers who had grown old in jungle lore,
|scoffed at the idea that they could
run to earth the wild beasts, and pre-
Idicted that few Of the dogs would be

they little knew the intelligence and
stamina of the American dog is shown
by the fact that only two Of the an
imals were killed while on the hunt.

Win P. Green. Former Publicity Agent,
Writes From Denver That Men

GETS IN WATER FIGET
Reaches Colorado city in Time to
Help Out in the Municipal
Ownership
Scrap.

Letters have been received here
from VIII P. Green, who is finishing
his law course at Denver, Colo. Mr..
Green was publicity manager for the
Keokuk Industrial Association while
in this city. He writes that nearly
everybody knows something about
Keokuk and the power project, and all
express much interest
People are familiar with the Keo-
kuk DAM" Mr.. Green writes in one let
ter. When he tells them where he is
from the result is like the recognition
Of the Masonic password or an Alas
kan college yell Mr.. Green adds that
he will be glad to get back to this
part of the map once more. He finishes
his law work on May 80, at which
time he will have annexed the degree
Of LIB.
Mr.. Green reached Denver in time
to participate in the big Denver wa
terworks plant fight in which there
were two factions both pulling for
municipal ownership. knowing the
campaign manager of one faction,
Mr.. Green was able to have new Job
wished on him, that of ward boss.
This campaign manager could not
depend upon his regular bosses, il
seems and had to invent some others.
Green writes that he was one of the
inventions. His work was to canvass
all Of north Denver, arrange for the
meetings, hire halls for the various
gatherings. and generally prepare the
way, for the spell binders sent out by
the central bureau. There was plenty
of advertising to do to get the people
out, especially as there was a good
sized colony of foreigners to contend
with.
Mr. Green encloses a scenario from
one of the film publications in which
Keokuk is mentioned as the home Of
the heroine. 'sThe Sultan and the
Roller Skates" is the subject of the
picture play, and the heroine, Mae
Higgins, the American girl, was lady
champion roller skater of Keokuk,
Iowa." the scenario states. After the
usual GREATNESS adventures in which
the sultan roller skates, and Sam
Spaulding also champion roller skat-
er, and the members of the harem are
concerned, the American couple es-
cape, board a yacht and start on their
way to Keokuk.
