The Chinaman,m "RoII.u

Of all the men who make their way about on the streets or in the street cars in this frosty weather, John Chinaman is the most comfortably clad, and, there fore, the most comfortable. He does not look it, but the Chinaman has the knack )f getting lot of warm quilted cloth ing next to his yellow skin. His blouse is, of course, of heavy material, and the thick soles of his odd shoes keep his feet warm.
 Neither does John have to fidget around and unbutton his clothing, ex- posing himself to the cold blasts that blow through the street car, to fish out ais nickel for fare. Before he leaves home he sticks a nickel in his ear-right handy to reach when the conductor comes around.
 In just what part of his odd clothing John carries his money is problem not even the long and the short men have been able to solve. The average China man carries bundle "big enough to choke horse, as the saying is, but though often tried, no hold up man has ever prospected successfully for the roll in his victims mysterious wraps, and the average thief would just as soon tackle a guaranteed burglar proof safe as Chinaman.-Chicago Chronicle.

4 ShreMd Photographer.

A Fifth avenue photographer has lately completed system by which bis pictures of babies have become famous He has discarded all the familiar ex- pedients of his profession to persuade very young children to submit to the camera and his scheme has been com pletely successful One part of his gal lery has been fitted up like a nursery. Around the room at convenient points are situated cameras and these are in charge of his assistants The photog- rapher devotes his attention to the baby He tries all the toys in turn, gets on as intimate terms as possible with the baby after such short acquaintance and grad ually lures the unsuspecting infant into looking his best When pose and ex- pression are satisfactory, he gives a sig. nal to one of his assistants at the cam eras and the trick is done. Mothers bring their babies from all quarters to this tactful photographer. It would be a difficult matter to find any child who would not, after ten minutes session with toys, exhibit some expression that his parents would be proud of. The artist catches that expression and as many other agreeable ones as possible. The final delight comes to the mother when she receives the proofs, not sent as proofs usually are, but mounted on a large piece of cardboard which makes it possible for her to compare them simul- taneously. This wise man has left noth- ing undone which could strengthen his hold on the babies and their photo graphs. New York Sun.
