officers from imposing on them, reg
ular soldier has comfortable life.
IF, however, the captains head Is
bigger than his heart, then the hfe
of a regular is trial and torture.
Most OF the officers" he said, "are
kind to their men, and make their

occasionally there is one cruel, pom
pous and tyrannical. The slightest in

duty. Il is from such commands THAI

elaborately embroidered and secured
by string at the top, tied so loosely
if tied at all, that a strip of bare bronze
back stands confessed to the waist
line. The woolly heads, gray with the
weight of years, are topped with gaudy
turbans; the bare feet are thrust into
slippers of white canvas, and when my
lady walks abroad she covers her
gaping back with a bedraggled white
silk shawl. Both women consider
themselves monuments of virtuous IN

well fed without work so long as Gu

CAMERA AT WEDDINGS.

Ceremony.

In the east the camera at wedding
is still something Of a novelty, 10 be
looked upon with surprise, if not with
open disapproval.
But out west nobody dreams Of get
ting married without a camera; it is
regarded as Indispensable, as much "a
part of the performance as the clergy
man, certainly as much so as the bride
groom. In these days of rampant
amateur photography it is hardly
necessary to call in professional
operator upon these occasions.
Some half-dozen members Of every
bridal party are sure TO be camera
fends of the first water, and it re-
quires much diplomacy to decide
which one shall be asked TO bring
along his or her camera. In nearly
every instance some ones feelings are
sure to be hurt. Sometimes two
cameras are present at q marriage
ceremony, but more than this is not
considered good form in the west.
In every house the photographs of
the bridal party form a prominent
decorative feature, as is but natural
when they have been obtained under
such suspicious conditions.
