Troubles of 4 Photographer.

Most men look upon photographer
as lucky dog anyway, with easy, in
teresting work, and chance to meet
more pretty women in day than ordi-
nary men do in a year, says the New
York Mail and Express, But the pho
tographers themselves aver that there is
very different side to the story. Of
course everybody has heard how some
women are easy to photograph and
others difficult, and how actresses are
the best of all; but the real feelings of
photographers on the subject are not
generally appreciated. A member of
the craft thus unbosoms his views on
this interesting subject;
Eyes, that's just the way; everybody
imagines that photographers all have a
picnic. In the first place, people think
it mighty lucrative business. Every
small town has its rich grocer and
butcher, and lawyer and doctor, but
never wealthy photographer"
''But certainly some photographers
make great deal of money!"
'They may take in good deal, but
their net income is generally small. At
photographer the ladies are trying
to look their finest and prettiest, and
they want the surroundings in accord.
And then the chief trouble comes in. It's
an awful nuisance to do business with
women"
''How is that?''
"a woman is not only determined to
look pretty, but she must look pretty
after certain peculiar fashion. She
usually gets her ideas from some fine
picture of handsome woman, and she
wants one just like that, without regard
to whether that particular pose is fitted
to her figure or not. If she is short,
pudgy person, she wants to look light
and graceful, and so she selects an airy
pose from Ellen Terry or some slender
woman, in the hope that she will make
a similar appearance, and they won't be
convinced. If they do finally consent
to sit some other way they will keep
that ideal pose in mind, and will be dis
satisfied with the result. And even
when you take them precisely as they
wish they object to paying for the pic
ture'
"But don't you find it pleasant to
meet 30 many handsome and agreeable
womenP''
Handsome they may be, but seldom
agreeable in photograph gallery. They
are never quite suited with the work,
and seldom with the price. The aver
age man is not so solicitous. He knows
that an expert is better able to decide
about matters of detail, and he leaves
all such things to the operator Of
course we have to be pleasant to the la
dies, for the bulk of photographers
custom is from them and children, and
besides that the best way to attract the
men is by exhibiting the pictures of
handsome women, but for all that a
photographer does not always feel as
polite as he looks"

HOW Pat Took Medicine.

A lady who lives not hundred miles
from Paramount Park has a pony OF
which she is very fond, but not long
since she thought that he was a little
droopy, so she called in veterinary
surgeon, who prescribed a powder for
the equine favorite. The next morning
she said to her man of all work:
"Pat, did you give the pony his medi-
cine?"
81 put it with his hay, num- was
the reply, ''but he's the cunningiSt little
haste / liver saw. He ct all the hay, but
not bit of the powther did he touch at
all. Oh, I'll fool him tonight. I'll give
it to him sure"
The next morning the lady called Pat
again and was surprised to see him
looking very rueful.
"What's the matter now?" she asked.
Faith, mum, l got big glass pipe,
] put the medicine in it, an l backed
the pony in the corner. Iput the pipe
in his mouth an wos jist goin' to blow
it down into him, but he brcathed first,
an l have the powthor in me instid OF
in him"
How it affected the Hibernian has not
yet transpired. Philadelphia Nee03.

A Wonderful Machine.

"When [ was laying the foundation
few years ago, | boarded in house
filed with locomotive engineers and
fremen. A practice prevailed there OF
enlivening the supper table with social
conversation, and, the locomotive party
being in the majority, the leading theme
of talk Tas stupendous feats performed
in railway runs, varied by minor Incl
dents and records of narrow escapes.
George Dewhirst, who ran lathe in
the shop, sat opposite to me at the Ia
BILE, and he got tired of being excluded
from the conversation. He became am
bilious to hear himself talk in that
crowd. One evening, catching on in a
lull III the conversation, he called out
loudly to me, We'll, l went over and
saw the machine to-day, and it is as
tonishing the fine work it does" How
does it work?' l inquired. WELL said
he, 'by means of a pedal attachment a
fulcrumed lever converts q vertical
reciprocating motion into circular move
ment. The principal part of the ma
chine is disk which revolves rapidly
on a vertical plain. Power is applied
through the axis of the disk; and, when
the speed of the driving arbor Is mod
crate, the periphery of the machine is
travelling at great velocity. Work is
done on this periphery. Pieces of the
hardest steel are by mere impact reduced
to any shape the skillful operator de-
sires,' What on earth is the machine?'
demanded a listener. oh, it is new
grindstone, replied George; and a ST.
lence that could be felt passed round

The village of Austin, in Southern
Minnesota, has very mean man. LII
Morris had a person half 50 mean the
TRIBUNE would not be mean enough
to tell about him. The Transcript at
Austin gives an instance of the mean
ness as follows:

who was killed OH the railroad April

in need of IL few small screws, used i'll
screwing the handles to the coffin. AS
he had accommodated n certain fur
niture dealer, ut different times he
felt free to call on him for the screws.
He called-but was refused. AS they
could be procured at no other place in
Austin, he was obliged to pay a man
two dollars to drive to Rrownsdale on
Sunday, to buy about two cents worth
| of screws. Business men can appre-
ciate such an example of business

4 cyclone visited st. Cloud, Sank
Rapids and Rice's Station one week
ago this afternoon. 1t was the most
violent and destructive storm that has
ever visited any portion Of our state.
1t completely demolished all property
in its path and killed about eighty
people. Others are SO badly injured
that they will die. People who have
visited the scene of the disaster say
that it beggars description. The dead
and the dying and the bruised lying
about in the wreckage of their homes
forms a scene most sorrowful. st.
Paul and Minneapolis as well as the
smaller cities and villages are doing
all that can be done to help the sur
vivors. Many of the individuals and
firms of state are doing noble work.
Cash, clothing, provisions, lumber,
physicians, carpenters and nurses
have been sent without stint. All
that can be done to relieve suffering
and aid the unfortunate victims of
the storm is being done. Suffering
members of the A. O. u. w. and of
the /. O. O. F. are being cared for by
their respective organizations. 1t is
to be profoundly hoped that Minneso-
ia may be spared for many, many
years from another such severe inflic-
lion.

The Fergus Falls Journal says:
Congressman Nelson's visit to Min
nesota, though very transformations,
will doubtless cause quite commo-
ton among politicians. The fact that
his name has frequently been men,
toned for governor, has given the va
rious candidates little uneasiness
lest he might enter the race. But
they should not be alarmed, as the
Fifth district is not yet ready to spare
him from his present post of duty.
During the two terms which he has
been in congress this district has had
a most faithful and conscientious rep
resentative, and is satisfied that he
should continue in its service. The
experience which. he has had renders
him more valuable to his constituents
than any new man. Whatever Mr..
Nelson's personal feelings may be in
the matter, they should give way to
the demands of the public interest.
AS to Ottertall county's sympathy
and support Mr.. Nelson needs no as

Indian Reservations.

A Helena, Montana, correspondent Of
the Minneapolis Tribune writes: The
Indian reservation is an important one
to the people of Montana, and it is with
considerable satisfaction that they
notice that the subject is receiving the
attention due it Mt the hands of congress,
awakening the cherished hope that be-
fore the close of the present session
something may be accomplished toward
the reduction of some of our immense
Indian reservations, and the land now
under lock and key thrown open to
settlement or used for range purposes.
The scheme proposed by Senator Hol-
man that all Indians who are sufficiently
civilized shall be settled upon lands in
scveralty meets with favor here. 1t may
be, perhaps, delicate work for the COM
missioner to decide between civilized
and an unciyilized Indian, but in order
to simplify the matter the bill could
easily be changed to read good and
bad Indians" then Gen. Sheridan's
definition could be followed, if neces-
sary, and would be very easy and quite
effectual. The general defines all In
dams as bad, and says the only good
one he ever saw had his head in camp
kettle. The rest of his body was several
miles distant. The present reservation
system is n fraud, and has been expert
mented with long enough. The Grow
reservation, in this territory, for in
stance, is rs large as the southern PENN
sula of Michigan, and contains within
its borders equally as good, if not better,
grazing and farming lands as can be
found in the entire northwest, yet it is
held by about three thousand semi-civi-
lized, thieving Indians, protected by the
government as well as fed and clothed.
One thing is certain: under the present
system these Indians will never civilize
themselves. but if they were given farms
of four or five hundred acres apiece, and
compelled to support themselves ssoi
starve like white man, they would
civilize OF speedily become one OF Sherl-
dams good" Indians. The price PAID
for the entire reservation would give
every Indian a better start than nine
tenths of the ranchmen had when they
| started. Montana has several OF these
reservations which should be thrown
open to settlement and some wise plan
tried to make the noble red man self
| supporting. On some of these reSerVa
tions placers have beenf ound which arr
rich in gold, and the government viii

whom it will be as difficult to keep on

The Minnesota Thresher company
brings suit at Saltwater against the
Northwestern Car company, for $780,
600, alleging that the latter guaran-
tesd special preferred stock for Sey-
mour, Sabin & Co. Forty lawyers fig
ure in the fray which involves half a

sented. The suit is expected to re-
veal all the private business relations

mour, Sabin & Co. i'll the inception of

Demorest's Monthly: There are i'll
this country 100000 Indians, and,
counting five to II family, there $1,000
heads of families. These red people
occupy, to the exclusion of 5S,000,O0
of white aud colore,T people, 1874 100000
acres of land. That is about $500
acre to each family. Nor is this all.
In addition TO more landed property
than any other people on earth, they
have in invested and uuinvested sums
about ST. 200, 900, besides their houses,
cattle and crop. In spite of their
enormous wealth, they are paupers,
and Congress annually appropriates
from five to seven million dollars to
feed and clothe them. Then the mill
itary expeditions to put down the
Apache and other insuhordinate tribes
cost Il good deal more money. The
time has come for ending this unnat-
ural system. 1t is now proposed,
III influential quarters, to give every
Indian plenty OF land in fee and to
supply them with money enough to
farm or breed cattle so that they could
| be on II par with the whites. Then
the proposition is to put them under
| our laws and force them to "paddle
| their own canoes.n Were this done
| we would never again have Indian
war nor need we make amy more APP
preparations to keep the Indians from

Pioneer Press: But is the pessimist
right as to the decadence OF society!
Read Hervey's memoirs of the reign
of George II. The king living openly
with Lady Suffolk and Countess Wal
modem; Walpole with Miss Skerrit for
his acknowledged mistress; every
member of parliament with his price;
frst-class society danes openly talk
ing and writing much Dastiness.
Look at German society of the last
century; the open debauchery Of
French society. Society everywhere
to-day is more decent and purer in
language and demeanor. There is
perhaps deal Of hypocrisy; but the
sum total of debauchery is not as
great. The restraining religious and
moral element of society is more pow
erful; it is Drawer than of old; it has
made it the custom to be decent. If
men and women will debauch them
selves, they must get behind screen.
The human race is not growing des-
perately worse. Its "will to live"
propels it forward to new develop
ments-through suffering, it is true
but it always acquires net result of
virtue and positive material advant-
age.

Demorest's Monthly: When an ac-
cident occurs OH railroad, the coun-
try rings with the occurrence, because
the passengers who are killed or in
jured are generally people in good
circumstances. But OH all the rail-
ways of all countries, a system of
numbering and manning goes on, of
which little is eyer heard. 1t is the
brakemen and the employees who are
needlessly killed or manned while
engaged in their work. Hundreds
are killed and thousands injured ev-
cry year while coupling cars. In
New York last year fourteen men
were killed and three hundred and
seventy injured. Under law passed
two years ago every new freight car
built or purchased for use after the 1st
day of July next by any railroad COM
pany in this state must be provided
with some sort of automatic coupler.
A similar law has been i'll force in
MASSACHUSETTS, SlICe tdICu 1dSG' DuI-
ing the year 1884 in England ore hum
dred and thirty men were killed and
over thirteen hundred injured while
between the cars. With these facts
in mind it is not surprising that the
railway employees subscribed two
thousand five hundred dollars to a
prize fund for the invention of an au-
tomato coupler and that practical
tests were to be made last month.
But it is, however, surprising that the
commissioners, who exercise such
great powers over the railways, should
have left this humane work to be done
by the railway servants themselves.
