A FATAL PHOTOGRAPHS.
Row a Correspondent During the Boer
Wal Gave His Life for q
Snapshot.

In some respects one Of the mos. re-
markable var photographs ever made
was secured by a mar named Meyer, a
correspondent for a German illustrated
newspaper during the war In South
Africa, says Ev~erybody's Magazine.
Meyer was with the Beers, and one day
during one of Buffers attacks along the
Tugela he took a position on the firing
line. The fire from the British batteries
across the river was very heavy during
the preliminary period of the assault,
and shells literally rained on the low
lying kopjes occupied by Botha's army.
Meyer thought he saw a good oppor-
tunity to ecu a fine picture, and he
jumped out of his "schanze" to snap it.
Just then a big lyddite shell exploded
within a few feet of him, killing him in
stantly. | afterward secured his cam
era, which was comparatively uninjured.
When the film it contained was devel-
oped l discovered that Meyer had made
a beautiful photograph OF the huge shell
which snuffed out his life. sent a copy
of the picture to his relatives in fserv

WHITNEY A HARD WORKER.
His Methods Of Labor as Secretary
Of the Navy.

While the late William c. Whitney
was secretary of the navy he was one
Of the hardest working men in the
department and he was very popular
among all the employees, most OF
whom had been inherited by him from
a Republican administration. He had
a marvellous capacity for accomplish
ing results, and without seeming ef-
fort he could transact business with
a celebrity that kept the men under
him constantly guessing. He had a
high desk in the big reception room
at the navy department, where he
used to stand and sign his mail and
do the business of the department.
He liked to meet people in that way
because he could get through with
them more quickly than he could If
he received them one by one in prl-
waite room. Anybody with whom he
really wanted to hold private CONVEX
sation he would invite into the small
er apartment, but that was a some
what rare occurrence.
