The "Hsapkeys man says that old
mens porirais are more natural than
young mems. for they think less about
themselves when they sit for their pic
lures.
Did you ever notice how little char.
acter a young mans face expresses as
a general thing, any howl Did you
ever notice the photographs Of young
menl Go into any gallery, and look
at them, and all the conceit there is in
a young mans nature and being shines
forth in his photograph. He cant
belp il.
lie may not he very conceited nat
urally. but when he sits for his pho
tognph, to save his soul he cant help
thinking abont himself, and how he is
going to look; and so, modest aud re-
firing as he may be in his actual life
he sits there and thinks about himself
all the time. and then the picture is
completed-self, self, self, is the only
character stamped on the face. don't

of being hard on the boys. Bless
