CAUGHT BY A KODAK,
How 1t Put the Family in n Queer
Plight Before the Minister.

FlEht DeIOre tDe minister.
Miss sMacgillicuddie' new kodak came
home from downtown late Saturday
night If there had been light enough
she would have done a lot of snap
shooting before she went to bed, but
as kodaks don't work after dark she
was obliged to wait till morning.
AS soon as breakfast was over she
picked up her new toy and made pic
lures OF the dog and the cat until her
mother protested so vigorously against
such employment on Sunday morning
that she had to desist When the old
folks had gone to church, however,
Miss Macgillicuddie remaining at home
because of slight indisposition, the
| kodak was trotted out again. The
young lady had tired, though of pho
! tographing such commonplace sub
| iects as the dog and the cat, so she sent
20 the house of a couple of friends and
| asked them to come over and pose for
her. They came and were photo
graphed in numerous poses, but the
young artist wanted something live
ly and characteristic.
"You girls are always playing cards."
she said; "why shouldn't l photograph
you in the midst of a game. You'll
have to sit still only three or four min
utes, and you can easily do tnat."
The otEer girls acquiesced, and the
! cards and a set of poker chips were
spread out on a lapboard between
them. After the necessary posing and
squirting to get everything in proper
focus, the cap was removed from the
kodak.
Unfortunately Miss Macgillicuddie
had taken no account of time during
their mornings experiments, and the
| expose was not more than a minute old
when the front door opened and in
| walked her father and mother. accom-
panied by the new minister, whom they
had brought to Sunday dinner. The
first thing they saw, of course, on en-
tering the house, was the poker game
between the two young women, and
the minister, discreetly looking away
| as soon as possible, failed to discover
the kodak. Mrs. Macgillicuddie was
embarrassed beyond expression by the
sight and hurried away to her room,
where she shed bitter tears. Mr.. Mac
gillicuddie, however, tried to make ex-
PLANTATION. but only succeeded in max
| ing matters worse.
"Not really card game, I assure
you, Mr.. Fourthly," he stammered in
an embarrassed fashion. "Girls only
practicing with their new kodak"
The rafting of the cards and chips
as the girls tried to scramble them out
of sight, seemed to disprove this state
ment, however, and Mr.. Fourthly put
an end to it by saying, coldly:
Least said about that is surest
mended, I am sure, Mr.. Macgillicuddie." +"
He left the house as soon after din
ner as he decently could without any
one having the courage to make good
the eXplanation.-Chicago Times-Her-

Fighting for His own,

A short time ago two highway rob-
bers (from LiverpooD attacked an old
Scotsman on the Glasgow and Carlisle
road, with the intention of robbing him
of all he had. The Scotsman being a
strong, powerful man, let out right
and left, knocking the two ruffians
about numerically; but, being two
to one, he was soon overpowered and
his money taken.
After they had got clear away, one
thief said to the other:
I'm blowed if he hasn't nearly broke
my jaw
II reckon" said the other, that he's
broken one of my ribs at least; but
never mind. How much did yer get
off him?'
After searching among some buttons
the reply came:
1.-TWO ha'pennies!"
Good heavens!" cried the other, hold
ing his ribs. "How would he "a fought
for siXpence! e!''-Answers

THE LIGHT-KEEPER.

For years I've seen the frothy lines go
thundrin' down the shore,
For years the surge has tossed its kelp and
wreck about my door;
I've heard the sea wind sing its song in
whispers round the place,
And fought it when it flung the sand like
needles in my face.
I've seen the sun rays turn the roof to
blist rim, tarry coal,
I've seen the ice drift clog the bay from
foamin' shoal to shoal,
I've faced the winters snow and sleet, I've
felt the summers shower,
But every night I've lit the lamps up yonder
in the tower.
I've seen the sunset food the earth with
streams of rosy light,
And every foot of sea line specked with
twinkln' sails of white,
I've woke to find the sky mess of scud and
smoky wreath,
A blind wind-devil overhead and hell let
loose beneath.
And then to watch the rollers pound on
lodges, bars and rips,
And pray for them that go, oh, Lord,
down to the sea in ships
To see the lamps, when darkness comes,
throw out their shinin' track,
And think of that one gleamin speck in all
the world of black.
And often, through a night like that, I've
waited for the day
That broke and showed lonesome sea, a
sky all cold and gray,
And. may be, on the spit below, where sea-
gulls whirl and screech,
I've seen a somethin' stretched among the
fresh weed on the beach,
A draggled, frozen somethin', in the ocean S
tangled scum,
That meant a woman waitin' for man
who'd never come;
And all the drop of comfort in my sorrer
could git
Was this: II done my best to save; thank
God, the lamps was lit"
And there's lots of comfort, RELY, to a
strugglin' mortals breast,
In the sayin, if it's truthful, of Il done my
level best"
1t seems to me that's all there is: jest do
your duty right,
No matter if you rule land or if you tend
light.
My lot is humble, but I've kept them lamps
Albumin clear
And so, l reckon, when l die, I'll know
which course to steer;
The waves may roar around me and the
darkness hide the view,
But the lights II mark the channel and the
Lord IL tow me through.
Joe Lincoln, in L. A. w. Bulletin.
