The next two years will record
the greatest era of prosperity
Sedgwick county people have
ever known. The chief industry
of the county-agriculture-will
advance by rapid strides as soon
as an abundance of water for irri-
CATION purposes is assured by the
construction of the Jumbo reser-
voir; a beet sugar factory will be
built in the county, railroad shops
will be constructed in Julesburg
and there will be great prosper
ity throughout the entire county.
Everything points to such a con-
dition and it will no doubt be-
come reality.

what have you madam. that is absolutely new?
That is what I want. I've the sitting pose
till I'm tired Of IT, and the leaning style is old and
heads-Ive had them time and again. You must
give me a style no one has had before"
She would probably be pleased If the artist sug
gested some acrobatic stunt or could arrange
to suspend her from wires like the girl in the
aerial ballet It takes lot OF diplomacy to bring
her around TO a style that is suitable for her.
She is followed. perhaps, by an old man who has
not had his photograph taken since he was boy
He is nervous in spite Of the efforts that have been
made to keep him at his ease More time must be
spent over him. and when he finally forgets him
self and grows Interested in the conversation there
is a click of the camera and IT Is over.

prise III I had known it easy 7 would
have come TO you when was younger and better
looking If dentists used much tact and con-
sideraton as you do believe the pulling OF teeth
could be made as easy as having your photograph
taken
Then comes a woman from somewhere who is not
we'll dressed That she Is not from New-York goes
without saying Her dress neither becomes nor
fits her but it would never do TO tell her so. She
Is taken in a couple Of positions In the I'll fitting
dress Then drapery Is suggested, Perhaps from a
vase a bunch Of fresh roses is taken. and when add
ed 70 the drapery MAKES really artistic picture
Nine times out Of ten the woman will order the
pictures in which the draped effect shows. and
those OF the unsirltly dress can be destroyed.
Most elderly women of refinement like agreeable
picttres and their friends and relatives insist It.
They want their best points accumulated, but no
nattery. But there is a type. the middle aged
coouette who enters the studio breezily and says;
Just make me beautiful 1 don't care whether
IT looks like me or not but must be beautiful
She is hurnored. but the fine work is done by the
expert retouchers Double chins Topped or
with the brush and figure lines are pared down
The result is the rankest of hattery; It is anything
but art, but it satisfies
Many old men hard TO straighten out The
minute they get in front OF a camera they get
.'chesty' and lean back. if they were going down

and the backward lean is corrected mechanically.
