MEN AND THINGS.
v An Old The statement that
! ono of the electors
s. Elector. chosen in New Hamp-
shire to cast the vote
OF that state for president served in the
same capacity in 1910, for the grand
father of the man he now votes for, re-
wives early recollections of the gentle
man with st. Paul party. He believes
there has been no other instance in the
history of the country Of a man being
elected to this position second time
after an interval of f0rty-eight years,
and the relationship of the two presi-
dental candidates adds to the unique
ness of the incident. The man who has
this distinction is Hon. GEORGE W.
NESMITH, a lawyer who has served in
the highest judiciary of the state, the
legislature and other prominent posi-
tons. He is we'll remembered by
Gen. ]. 3. SANBoRN and Hon. GREEN
AFCLARK, of this city. In their earliest
days he was one of the best known of
the public men of the Granite state.
The father of Mr. CLARK was also at
the time leading associate of Mr..
NEsMITH in public affairs. Mr.. N.
graduated at the collegiate institute, in
1920, where the two st. Paul attorneys
referred to received their education
later. He is recalled as a tall. club
footed gentleman, with an elegant resi-
dence between the peliucid waters of
the Winnipiseogee and Pemigewasset
rivers. which hasten to unite just below
and form the Merrimack,the motor that
drives most of the spindles of New
/ Hampshire and Massachusetts,. One of
the most vivid recollectionS of the boy
hood of the st. Paul relatOr is of the
campaign of 1910. and Mr.. NEsMITH as
the chief engineer of a procession from
his town to the capital of the state,
twenty miles distant. Among IT'S incl
dents was full-grown log cabin, drawn
by great many yoke OF oxen, with
NESMITH and others dispensing hard
cider to the patriotic crowd. The age
OF this remarkable man can be Inferred
from his having graduated at college
siXty-elght years ago.

Oh! How The question as to
the right of another
Shocking! party to use the pho
tograph of person
without his consent is one that is per-
picking and complicating the copyright
discussion. The amateur photographer
is responsible for the springing of the
question. With the perfection of the
instantaneous process none are secure
from his ravages. His ways are myS-
FERROUS and unobserved, and parties
may only learn by accident that their
features, taken at perhaps an inoppor-
tune time, are in the possession of an
other, who may be an entire stranger.
Legal proceedings have been instituted
by aggrieyed parties, and nice points
few are aware, probably, that anything
but it was learned recently that an anna
teur, who is a good deal of an artist
and scientist, has become remark
ably expert in the use of the
instantaneous pocket camera, and has
a collection of the cOuntenances
of people that the victims do
not dream Of lie has the entree
of some of the most select social circles,
and has managed to catch unobServed
the faces of young ladies wearing all
manner of expressions, from the melting
of love to the elongationS of gum-cheW-
ing. He has them enlarged. touched
up and placed in albums, of which he
has several. In places where he could
use it securely he has taken faces at
night by flash light any momentary
i blaze. One familiar with society people
| in the city was. able to recognize several
that were well known in group taken
at residence on Dayton avenue. The
only thing that throws discredit upon it
was the expression of all seeming to be
talking at once. One could almost see
the words rolling from the partly
opened mouths and it is known that
ladies, at least in st. Paul, do
not do that way. The most
interesting to some, perhaps, was a
spooning seance between a Marshall
avenue belle and young professional
gentleman. They We're at social
gathering, and seated in recess where
they thought they would not be OBJ
served. He has been whispering some
thing out Of the cooling catechlsm; her
eyes have softness that is quite per-
ceptible, and there is a suggestion of
mutual preparation for whistling. 1t
was not an attitude that would be as
sumed in sitting for photographs. That
is charm of these representations.
They are perfectly natural, no posing
for pictures with the made-up express

with st. Paul society who are admitted
to the artists rooms.
English The English we speak
presents almost inSu-

foreigners. and espe-

opera, the libretto of which is the joint
| production of several Of our leading

opera the chorus calculates: "Chest-

to the assembled llhrettist with a
