ways conceal both himself and his in-
 strument, and use such other pre-
 cautions as each particular case may
 call for. I obtained some interesting pictures Of a chipmunk, a short time
 ago, by simply focusing my camera on a
 particular stone in a wall. where the
 little hackee was in the habit of sun
 ming himself at certain times of the day. I also photographed two skunks
 by coaxing them out of their burrows
 with freshly killed hen. 1 fastened the
 hen to the ground with stake that the animals could not drag it out of range of the camera.
 Gray squirrels. flying squirrels. and
 sometimes red scuirrels. may be made
 so tame by kindness that they will pose
 for the photographer in any position he chooses. Visitors to Central Park, New York, and to Fall River, Mass, have no difficulty in getting pictures of gray squirrels: give them nut and the it- tie creature will sometimes sit on your [ hand to eat. I have tanned wild flying
 squirrels so that could feed them and
 photograph them to my hearts content, right out in the woods.
 Wild mice are. in my opinion among the most difficult of animals to photo graph, partly by reason of their small size and partly by reason of their ex- tremely rapid movements. They are so small that it is necessary to get very close to them in order to obtain a picture of reasonable size, and this fact prohibits the great speed which is
 often required to photograph them in 1 motion. I have succeeded in getting some few pictures of these creatures by feeding them regularly in a parti-
 cular place, and have taken others by finding their nests, focusing on that, and waiting for them to come out.
 One of the easiest animals to photo
 graph is the opossum-a slow-going, patient creature, which, as a rule, will
 allow you to do as you like with it, and
 never question your rights. was plo- tographing one of these creatures not long ago, and I simply took him by his
 prehensile tail the rational way to
 carry an opossum, and set him down
 in the most favorable spot could find
 for my purpose. He was trife pig headed at first, but soon calmed down
 and photographed him in all kinds of positions, until my stock of plates gave out and I was obliged to stop.

SOME KISE WORDS.

Business is business, but there are several ways of doing it. In his great address before the Iron and Steel In- stitute of London Andrew Carnegie said something which is entitled to the respectful consideration of all who have help in their business. There lie, he said, latent unsuspected powers in willing men around us, which only need appreciation and development to produce surprising results. Money re-
 wards alone will not, however, insure these, for to the most sensitive and
 ambitious natures there must be the note of sympathy, appreciation, friend ship. Genius is sensitive in all it's
 forms, and it is unusual, not ordinary, ability that tells even in practical af- fairs. You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best. Indeed, this law has no limits.
 Even the mere laborer becomes more efficient as regard for his employer grows. Hand service or head service, l it is heart service that counts.
 True as preaching, and worthy of ac-
 equation, even if some of the labor
 unions are temporarily injuring the
 theory that sentiment in business is a good thing.

City employees have been given rude shock by Mayor James G. Wyman, who directed that an order be issued pro- hibiting clerks from attending baseball games during office hours. For years it has been the custom for clerks to hurry up their work in the baseball season and go to the baseball park for few innings. The order issued puts an end to this custom and now the clerks are wondering why they should be barred when heads of departments are allowed the old latitude.

Kaiser Wilhelm knows how things should be done. Professor August Gaul, well known in Europe as sculptor of animals, received an order from his majesty for some eagles, to be used for decorating the square which will be formed in front. of the Brandenburg Gate, and where the memorial to the emperor and empress will be placed. The models for the eagles were submit ted to the Kaiser for approval, but his majesty said he preferred the wings spread out, not closed, as Professor Gaul had made them. The sculptor de- clared that his way was the only nat ural way of representing eagles, and the result was that he refused to model the birds in any other way and respect fully declined the commission.

THIEVES SECURE PURSES

Brougham Is Robbed by Sneak and
Pocketbook Is Snatched by

Miss Eta S. Wilson was robbed of her
purse yesterday afternoon about $3.50 o. clock
in front of the City of Paris. She had
hired brougham from Kelly & Sons for
the purpose of going shopping and when
she entered the store left a purse con-
tanning 81 80 on the seat of the vehicle
While waiting for his passenger Frank
Riordan, driver of the brougham, was ac-
costed by a man who inquired the loca-
ton of Kearny and Stockton streets. On
being informed he walked off. A woman
on ,he opposite side of Stockton street
saw another man. reach in the brougham
and extract the purse during the CONVEX
sation and notified the driver. She told
him the thief had joined two other men
and walked down O'Farrell street. Rior-
dan drove after the man and on meeting
Policeman Fontana at Grant avenue and
Market street asked him to take them
into custody. The officer misunderstood
the request and arrested only two, while
the third continued on his way. Riordan
persisted in following the third man and
with the assistance of B. Herschberg
turned him over to Policeman George
Collins at Powell and Geary streets
Last night at the City Prison Riordan

gave his name as Harry Montague, as the

walking with Montague when the couSle
started to go away. On this testimony
the two men were booked for petty lar
ceny and the third man was dismissed.
Mrs. Moriarity, who resides at 2220 Fill

in gold and s. in silver, snatched from hee
hand in front of los Kearny street about 3
o. clock yesterday afternoon. She said she
was in a crowd and some one twisted the
purse out of her hand. She .tried to loe
cate the thief. but was unable to do so.
