When a Nevada photographer wants to
make good picture, he puts the sitter in
his place, pulls out navy revolver, cocks it,

1t is Longfellow who says; SIN the lives
of the saddest of us there are bright days
when we feel as if We could take the great
world into our arms. Then come the gloomy
days when the fire will neither burn on our
hearths nor in our hearts, and all without
and within is dismal, cold and dark. Be
lieve me, every heart has its secret sorrows
which the world knows not; and ofentimes
we call a man cold when he is only sad"
