THIS PHOTOGRAPHER KNEW.
Consequently He Succeeded Where
Others Failed.

There is a South side girl who until re-
GENTLY her friends thought the hardest per-
son in the world to please. Not In general,
hut in a particular crochet of hers, that was
photography She used to have an lnor-
dinate number of hkenesses of herself taken.
The proofs generally seemed to please her
very well, but on receiving the finished
product she would 60 away somewhat dlsap-
pointed and In day or so inform her friends
that the pictures were not success, that she
didn't like them at all and that she was go
ing to try some other studio. 1t was IN vain
that the latter persisted that the pictures
resembled her very much, or that they were
exouisitely finished, or that they were from
one of the best places in the city. She con-
tinued to be dissatisfied again and again.
She would point out an imaginary speck or
what she considered defect in light or
shade, then criticise the pose and say that
she looked like fright and finally wonder
how the photographer could ask such prices
for so mediocre piece OF work
She was not by any means bad looking,
but many of the photographers dattered her.
Her friends knew that she was aware OF
this, consequently they could not attribute
her popularity to injured vanity. They made
various guesses and surmlses at the real rea-
son of her fastidiousness, but all were soon
had about given up she came home one day
perfectly radiant. She explained that she
had at last found a photographer who under
stood his business She dilated on the clev-
erness with which he had posed her and his
thorough appreciation of everything truly
artistic. Then she produced some very in
ferior photographs Her friends were
amazed They couldn't believe she was Sc
rious. She went on descanting on her sue
cesscess.
II won't need to have any more taken,
girls" she said.
They were at loss for her reason until the
conclusion of her ecstasy, which ran about
as follows:
Eyes, he's just the loveliest photographer
ever went to. So thoroughly appreciative.

Getting 1t Right.

They were riding on the rear seat of a
Collamar car, and were strangers to each
other. One of them was short and stout;
the other was a man of medium size, to
whom everything along the route seemed to
be new.
As they were passing along near the car
barns the medium-sized man looked up at
the fine residence upon the bluff and said:
do you know who lives In that large
house up there, with the big verandas'
That big brown house!" the other re-
turned.
Yes
"You mean the one with the porch run
ming clear around it,"
Yes; do you know who lives there?"

WOMEN AS FARMERS.
Peculiar Scheme to Be Inaugurated
by a Nebraska Woman.

Mrs. Hattie n. Bemis, of Arabia,
Neb., does not see why women should
not be successful as farmers, and an
nounces that she is going to try the
experiment if she can get a dozen
women TO assist her. She owns large
tract of land in northwestern Nebraska
which she says she intends to give to
12 deserving widows of northwestern
farmers. In return she will require
them to cultivate it without mans as
sistance. She says she will start them
out with all the machinery they need.

HIGH-cLAss POULTRY.
Why the Progressive Farmer VIII
Raise No Other Kind.

Raise No Other Kind.
No man has better chance to keep
high-class poultry than the farmer. He
has unlimited range for them, and this
is conducive to health and best results
in rearing the young. He produces at
first cost every necessary food product
that goes to keep flock during the
year, and no one who desires to pur-
chase eggs for Matching would ever buy
of breeder who keeps his fowls penned
up If he knew where he could get eggs
from farm-kept fowls.
There is just as good a market for
high-class poultry as there is for
poultry for market, and the demand is
always good for good stock. The farmer
who keeps this kind of poultry has two
chances to make money. His flock will
be profitable as an investment a mar
ket prices, and he viii make many sales
without effort at much above market
prices.
1t Is no trouble at all, as the writer
knows from experience, to get from so
cents TO one dollar dozen for eggs
from high-class hens during the hatch
ing season, and even at the smaller price
there is an immense profit in the busi-
ness.
With the better care that Is always
given to good stock comes greater re-
turn in eggs and meat for the feed used,
and here is an additional profit on the
transaction.
There is no excuse in these days that
justifies any farmer in allowing his
flock of hens to remain mongrels. The
man who does this is standing in his
own light and does not live up to his
opportunities. It does not need fancy
houses, elaborate systems of yards nor
extraordinary skill in breeding to make
a success with fine poultry. Plain, hard
common sense. such as is needed to
raise good crops and conduct any farm
successfully, is better than any number
of nice theories which are of no practic-
al value.-Fsrmers' Voice.

nounces that it has ascertained the real
story of the Dreyfus affair, which is as
sollows:
Dreyfus, during the anti-Semitic
campaign, determined to leave the
French army, and wrote to Emperor
William asking to be admitted to the
German army with the same rank he
held.
Tie emperor replied, through the Ger
man embassy, that it would be prefer
able for Dreyfus to serve Germany in
the position he then occupied. He would
be regarded as a German officer on a
mission to France, and in the event of
war, would take his rank in the Ger
man army. This Dreyfus accepted.
The Intransigeant says it is informed
by the military attache that before the
arrest of Dreyfus eight letters were
stolen from the German embassy.
Count Won Munster, the German am
baSsador TO France, called upon NJ. .Du-
pGy, the premier, to restore the letters,
declaring that if his demands were not
complied with he would leave France
within a hours. The letters were re-
stored, but We're first photographed.
The Photographs were submitted at the
trial of Dreyfus for court-martial.
