A TRAGEDY IN A PICTURE.

His Snap Shot of a Drink That Killed
Two Men.
1.-THE most remarkable snap shot pic
ture in the world is owned by a friend
of mine in town in Georgia." said an
enthusiastic amateur photographer.
"Its story is extremely curious. 1t
seems that he went one day to black
smith shop to get a shot at the men at
the forge. The smith was engaged on
a difficult piece of ironwork and had
two helpers. Just behind them on
shelf was a pint flask full of yeilowish
white liquor, evidently the corn whis-
a peculiar liking.
''As my friend was preparing to take
his picture one of the helpers caught
sight of the bottle and communicated
his discovery by dumb show to his
companion. The smiths back was
turned at the moment, and the first
man reached stealthily for the prize,
while my friend, unnoticed In the cor
ner, quickly aimed his camera. 1t was
comical scene, and in his mind he
had already named the photo The
Stolen Drink
1.-THE helper uncorked the flask and
took q swift gulp, and his comrade
snatched it and did likewise. Then for
a brief, breathIess instant they looked
at each other, and as they did SO their
foolish grin gave way to such a stare
Of questioning horror as never saw
before upon human face. l know
because 1t was then that the camera
clicked, and the picture is as clear as
crystal The flask contained carbolic
acid. Within an hour both men were
dead.
when my friend took one print, he
broke the negative SO as to make the
photograph absolutely unique. It
shows the forward end of the shop.
In the foreground is the anvil, with
the smith bending over his work. Be-
hind him are the two helpers, one still
holding the flask, looking at each 9TH
er. You can see tragedy in their eyes
as plain as print. 1t is frightful and
dramatic tableau that could not be
duplicated by any sort Of art."-New

needing no laws Of the town? Pushing
everything aside? Out upon a gayly
ride? AS though owning all the track,
ever onward, never back? Never seen

Yachting on Salt.

Save during the rainy season Lake
LEROY, in western Australia, is quite
dry. But as the water evaporates as
the hot weather approaches smooth,
CLASSY floor Of crystalline salt is de-
posted. Those living on the shores
have found means Of utilizing this.
All boats which sail on the lake
when possible are, during the rainy
season, fitted with four wheels, and
thus are enabled to continue their
travels. As Lake LEROY has an area
of 100 miles, and the surrounding coun-
try is extremely rough, this means a
great saving in expense, labor and
time. The speed attained by these
wheeled yachts is very considerable,
though not quite equal to the pace Of
the ice yachts so popular in Canada
