THE most remarkable snapshot pic

mine in a town in Georgia" said an en-
thusiastic amateur photographer. Its
story is extremely curious. 1t seems
that he went one day to blacksmith
shop to get a shot at the men at the
forge. The smith was engaged on a
difficult piece of iron work. and had
two helpers. Just behind them. on a
shelf was a pint flask. full of yellow
ish-whita liquor-evidently the corn
wh:skey for which the native Georgian
has Il peculiar liking. AS my friend
was preparing % take his picture. one
of the helpers caught sight of the pot
tie and communicated his discovery by
dumb show to his companion. The
smiths back was turned at the mo-
mcnt, and the first man reached
stealthily for the prize, while my friend,
unnot;ced in the corner, quickly aimed
his camera. ]; was comicaI scene
