Posing Sitters Before n Camera.

LAS TO the actual work under sky
light only few general hints may be
given, us here each must work out her
own salvation, writes Frances Benjamin
Johnston in an article, What Woman
Can Do With "a Camera in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "Do not attempt to pose

comfortable or awkward positions in order
to obtain picturesque effects. Watch them

deavoring to show them at their best.
Avoid emphasizing the peculiarities of "a

curves rather than angles or straight lines

A SCOURGE UPON MEN.
An Arapahoe Indian Legend Concerning
the Creation of Women,

Among the many interesting traditions
that have recently been brought to light
by a gentleman who has been making
careful study of the legends and folklore
of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of
the Indian Territory is one that accounts
in an original way for the origin of wom-
an. The Indians of these tribes sniff dis
painfully at the rib" theory, when the
resident missionaries try to teach them the
initial lessons of the Old Testament re-
garding their first parents. The wise men
of their tribes long ago wrestled with the
fundamental facts of creation and evolved
theories concerning it which, with tho
lapse of time, have come to be looked upon
by the Indians of today as historical truths.
1t is little wonder that the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe braves look down upon their
women as inferior beings. The legend says
that originally all mon were created with
long, sleek and comedy tails. These tails
were their delight, and they adorned them
with paint, beads and wampum. Then
the world was at peace-discord and wars
were unknown. Men became prosperous
and proud, forgot their Maker and became
envious and quarrelsome. Their Maker
became displeased with them and sent
scourge upon them to teach them humility
and make them realize their dependence
on The Great Spirit.
He amputated their tails, and out of
these beautiful members fashioned women
Women, say the Cheyennes still retain
traces OF their origin, for we find them
ever trailing after men, frisky and i'm
pulsive.
There are many strange resemblance
between the Indian legends and familiar
incidents of the Old Testament.-St Louis
Republic.

The Brandywiue extension of the
Augustine branch OF the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore railroad was
completed on Friday aud the work of
hauling stone from the quarries of the
Brandywine Granite Co. was started
on Monday, The extension. which is
three. fourths of mile Icing, part of
which will be double track, has been
built since February 18th.
The new tracks begin at point
about 80 feet above the Jessup e
Moore paper mills and has been built
partly on a hill sida. The material used
TO ill in with are ashes from the fur
naces of the Jessupl & Moore mills,
which had been hauled up the wagon
drive on the side Of the hill and there
dumped. The ashes have been the
accumulation of deposits of many years
and previous to their removal covered

The double track proper extends from
the Devils Den, ia distance of about
LOO feet, crossing over the Allopukas
Creek, ut this timo diminutive water

come the stream grows into torrent.
To allow for the heavy flow of water
through this creek, 10 foot span has
been placed over the gulch. The walls
supporting the bridge are solid masonry.
At the lower quarries the masons
have built the foundations for a new
stone crusher which will be capable of
crushing stone at the rate of 600 yards
per day. The crusher mill will be
constructed with bins from which the
cars will be loaded by shute.
The new extension will prove itself
to be valuable investment as by this

In my garden, growing stately.
Climbing DER against the wall, 4,
There are roses ever blooming
From the month of May till fall;
Near the tea.rose. gently twining, ,
Bloom the summer roses fair,
Breathing forth in rich profusion y -
Sweetest fragrance through the air.
In the centre of the garden, y
Where the sunlight loves to dwell,
Are the roses wild and dewy-
Trophies from way-side dell;
They recall with subtle sadness
Day.dreams gone forevermore.
Roses wild and sweet are haunting
Tender hearts DER memory's shore.
See the clinging rosebud tendrils.
Types of "childhood's glowing torch,
Grandma's waxen mycrophella
'rwineth round the old white porch;
So, the roses in my garden.
Drinking deep the early dew,
Laden well with old.time glories, =
Have for me lesson true.
In corner slender mermets
Rear their heads a.oft with pride,
And blush rosy pink till hunter
Clips them for lovely bride;
Near them. clad in ruby velvet,
Grow the stately Jncqueminots,
Linger round this royal rose.
Oft wonder in the twilight 8
Mid the roses, sweet and fair; p
Fancies, old and loving fancies,
Ger my senses stealeth there
And breathe the spicy sweetness
OF the crown rose bending down;
Petals Of La France are falling
Strewing thick the messy ground.
.
And to me there comes memory
OF waltz one starllt night,
With my Rose, the queen of roses.
'Mongst the crimson, gold and white;
Then she plucked a velvet rosebud,
Placed it in my card-case gray,
Vowing me w.th fond allegiance
Truest love for aye and aye.
But the years have passed, and swiftly,
Since she plucked the rosebud red,
And our waltz, among the roses,
Is to me memory dead;
And 'mongst the roses now ! wander,
Up and down the pathway old
Scattering broadcast from my card case
Roseleaf heartaches, long since told
