A CAMERA Trust
Is Being Worked Up Among Chicago
anufacturera

Chicago, New. 2O-A movement hav-
ing for its object the consolidation of
all the camera manufactures into
trust is being quietly made and already
it is said, options have been secured
from nearly all the manufacturers in
Chicago. Projectors of the proposed
combine say that enough signatures
have already been secured to assure
success. The movement has already
had the effect here of a radical Teduc-
tiOn of prices of both plate and film
cameras. one big eastern firm outside
of the combination and manufacturing
film cameras leading in the war of
prices. A movement is also said to be
on for the combination of all the plate
manufacturers into a trust. In this
movement, as in that of the proposed
camera trust, one big eastern concern
has refused to accede to the terms of
the trust organizers. and the movement
as result. may fall through.

Here is some of his philosophy:

Fear not too much an open enemy;
He is consistent-always at lNis post;
But watchful be of him who holds the key
OF your own heart, and fatters you the
most.
The only lengthy poem in the volume
is entitled 1.-THE Mountain Maid and it is
scarcely up to the standard the author
has fixed in his odes and sonnets. In
this he tells the romantic story OF a girl
captured by Indians and has, like other
poets somewhat sacrificed his poetry to
the story. 1t can. however, truthfully be
said that it is interesting.
The little volume is pleasing. 1t con-
tatns much that is good and little that is
bad. 1t is the index to the character of
a noble, self sacrificing man.

THRIFT IN THE GRANITE CITY

A good story is told by an English
tourist who stayed for week in apart
-ments in Aberdeen, the Granite City.
IT had heard" he said, "of the canny
folk of Aberdeen. and my experience,
short though it was, proved that ru-
NOR had rightly estimated the charac-
ter of the people. The streets are gran
tie, the houses are granite, and the in
habitants are granite; and when they
have a granite baby they give it ball
of granite, for fear it should break any
other toy.
II had a granite landlady, and one
day when 1 was going fishing her son
volunteered to accompany me. 1 pro-
vided the lunch, the rods and the lines;
he provided the worms-duS them up
in a neighbours garden with borrowed
spade / caught sixteen trout; he ate
the lunch and broke my best rod. When
we got home I made a present of four
teen of the fish to my granite landlady
and asked her TO cook the other two for
my tea. She did-and charged me
threepence for the dripping in which
they were fried. London Tit-Bits.
