Mr.. Cleveland at the Photographers

In reference to MIR. Cleveland my last
photographs of him are much better
than my earlier ones. When he first
came to the studio he was very cold
he scarcely spoke to me and did not
smile at all His manner froze my
talent and 1 could not do him justice
On the last occasion he shook my hand
warmly and said heartily: How do
you do Napoleon ?" Such cordiality
put me at ease and in sympathy with
him at once.

1t is quite possible that the Japanese
teacher of dancing and department
who, a few weeks ago, celebrated the
thousandth anniversary of the estab-
lishment of his business by a remote
ancestor, may have done so upon
authentic grounds. Still, Japanese
domestic chronology is apt to become
a little foggy when you get back a
few hundred years.
Possibly more authentic are the two
cases which follow The first is that
OF the family of Aaron who practiced
