NEGRO AFRAID OF CAMERA.
This Popularity Probably Altogether
Due to His Suspicious Nature.

1T is curious thing, but negro is
as afraid of a camera as he is of gun, -
said a man who pays some attention to
the peculiarities of the black race, "and
| have often wondered just why it was.
On number of occasions | have tried to
get good, striking pictures and poses of
the negro, but if the black man got a
view of the camera and understood that
| was about to take his likeness he
would Immediately scamper away to
some hiding place where he would be
beyond the range of the camera. A
short while ago | made a trip up the riv
er on a steamboat and at various places
along the river tried to get characterize
ic sketches of the negro. In some in
stnaces | succeeded, but it was when the
group knew nothing about what | was
doing.
whenever they got on to my racket
they would make break for the tall
timber and if | got to see them at all it
was when they peeped from behind the
trees on the river bank | have made the
same experiment under different circum
stances and on all occasions it has SIM
ply been question of the negro finding
out what l was after. He will scuttle as
soon as he learns that the camera is
leveled on him. Why is this? Is it
because the negro does not understand
the principles of photography? Is it be-
cause the whole thing is wrapped up in
mystery so far as he is concerned?
Maybe So But | am inclined to think
there is another and more reasonable
explanation of the curious fact.
''The negro is naturally a Suspicious
member He cannot understand that
you are taking his. picture for arts sake.
He knows nothing of art and care less
about it. When you level the camera
on him he does not know what you are
up to and, becoming frightened, runs
away. | think the negro's fear of the
camera is due altogether to his sus-
picious nature. But whatever the cause,
he is afraid of it, and if you don't be-
lieve it try to take his picture in this
way some time" New Orleans Times

THE R. F. D. CARRIERS DREAM.

(By Mrs. II. F. Hadley, Eau Claire.)
/ dreamed | carried mail on route,
Where the roads were straight and
good,
The rig never broke OF the horse fell
down,
In q puddle of slush or mud.
l dreamed the people were always pleas
ed
And never once said, you're late"
Nor the mail boxes put behind the trees
Or the other side of the gate.
They didn't ask me to bring express,
Or to try and match some silk,
And call for the laundry, groceries and
nails
And take my pay in buttermilk.
When the wintry blasts blew cold and
chill,
And the roads were blocked with snow,
They turned out with shovels to clear
the track,
For the mail man must surely 90.
They did not put cents with mail in the
box,
To tumble down in the snow
And freeze my fingers with fishing
around,
For twas stamped all ready to CO.
| hopefully plod from day to day,
Whether wind, or rain, or shine,
And trust that it may yet be realized,
That beautiful vision of mine.

three, multiply by five, add to it the
number of living sisters multiply the re-
suit by ten and add the number of deaths
of brothers and sisters and substract
80 from the result. The right figure
will be the number of deaths, the middle
will be the number of living sisters, and
the left will show the number of living
brothers. Try it and see.
The resources of the country are so
tremendous that the nation could, if ne
cessity demanded, pour 10 billions of
dollars per year into the public treasury
and not seriously feel the strain. Your
Uncle Sam could, if necessary, muster
an army of 10 millions of men and arm,
equip and feed the same as no army
was ever equipped and fed by any other
nation on the face of the globe The
army that this nation could raise if
necessity demanded could form battle

LOCATES HER HUSBAND.
County auditor Weaver Helps a Poor
Woman of South Bend.
From MONDAYS Daily.

Ole G.. Olson of South Bend, who dis
appeared a year or two ago, leaving his
wife and little children in destitute cir
cumstances in South Bend, has been
heard FROM County Auditor Weaver was
the means of locating him and bringing
him back to the duty of supporting his
family.
Mrs. Olson has received some aid from
the county. but this has not been enough
to feed and clothe her family properly,
and with winter coming on her condi-
ton was pitiable Six weeks ago she
sought the assistance of Mr.. Weaver in
locating her husband, saying that she
money, if he knew how badly she need
ed it. She did not have any idea where
he was, except that she thought that he
was working in Iowa for man named
Bates, who was doing railroad work.
Mr.. Weaver proceeded upon the slight
information which he had, and finally
succeeded in locating the man. From
Gen. Widell he learned that the Bates
& Rogers Construction company of Chi
cago was doing some railroad work in
Iowa, and he accordingly wrote to this
firm and asked whether it had in its
employ man named Ole q. Olson. He
received reply to the effect that it had
such a man working for it at Pleasant
Hill, Mo-, but it did not know where he
was from. Mr.. Weaver took chances of
this being the right man and wrote to
him, letting him know the condition that
his family was in, and saying that if he
did not send them some money by re-
turn mail an officer would be sent for
him. This letter bore good fruit, for
this morning Mr.. Weaver received re-
ply from Olson, inclosing a draft for $40,
PAYABLE to his wife, and saying that he
would send money to her regularly after
this and would take care of her.
Mr.. Weaver wrote in reply that he
should do this and advising him to be a
man and send for his family and live
with them where his work is.
