Aunt Dinah and the Camera.

Speaking of Aunt Dinah reminds me
After all the family had been duly
taken, they suddenly thought OF Aunt
Dinah, and rushed into tile. Kitchen to
ask her. She 6beamed with delightat
the suggestion, but said, in sort of
shameiaced way:
Laws, honey, yer don't wanter TUX
an ole body like me"
"Yes, yes, we,doi come, Aunt Dinah!
come right alongn' shouted all the
children in chorus. EHAF
..He, her' chuckledA the delighted
Aunt Dinah, beginning tosdivest herself
of her kitchen apron, "ef y aint gwine
fer to take no o'scdse, s'pose FL jes' hab
to be TUX. But go long, honey, go
long! I'slcomin', IPs COMM lsho'; only
jes' stoppins 10 find sumfin to frow ober
dis yer noddle."
Sure enough, out came Aunt Dinah
presently in her best plaid apron and
kerchief, yellow turban ON, and her
gold earrings cleaning in the sun. Ben
sat hero albench in the garden among
the sunilowers, and she made tirst-rate
picture-much better than Ben had any
idea of, and far finer, after all, than
Miss Molly in all her grand attitudes.
But the moment Aunt Dinah was
seated she began to look grave; she
as Ben proceeded to" fix things" till
at length when all was ready she had
stiflened into q really formidable grim
ness. Ii4 s.ifr BIO Cft trr sH i
Presently Ben. had everything ar
ranged to his satisfaction, and coming
to the front of the camera he said, in d
warning tone, and with grand air that
never failed to strike terror to the heart
of the ignorant sitter: GAN ready now,
take carer and Immediately pulled OF
the little brass cap.
| Aunt Dinah had been looking in an.
other direction, but at these wordi
turned quickly toward the instrument
and whether startled by Ben's action
or tone, or both combined, il would bS
impossible to sayi but she suddenly
started from her seat and fled towarl

"Run, chil'en! Massay sakes, run

yer things bust afore now! Done KNOCK
eberyt'ing all to nuilin" sgi
Tho children all laughed and shouted
at poor Aunt Dinah's fright, but moth
ing could induce her to go back ant
have her picture taken. ~
"Dis ole nigger seed too many den

solemnly. "Yo' kin go of ye wanter

talks. Il seems 30 Us, a deal OF nonsense
about what he calls "redeeming' the old
three-ccnt stamps which will be in the
hands Of the public when the new law re-
ducing postage on letters to two cents per
half once shall 20 into operation. lie is
reported us saying that the question Of re-
deeming the unused three-cent stamps,
which NAV be outstanding on October l..
has not yet been maturely considered and
that it Is quite probable that az a matter of
precaulion, the Department may decline TO
receive single stamps or any number less
than say five, and IL may be required that
these shall be presented attached TO each
other as in the original sheets.
The Government Of tac United States
cannot afford 20 cheat the people in that
way. We really can imagine no good rea-
sou why the three-cent stamps should not
be used after the LIST Of October and until
all that are now in the hands Of the public
