after the paper was out, a big man,
armed with a club, walked into the

editor was in. The frightened Brown.
low had wit enough to answer that he
was not, but that he would go out
and hunt him up. He started for the
street and at the foot of the stairs
met another irate fellow, who asked:
"Will find the editor of this dirty
sheet upstairs?" YES" said Brown
low, "he's up there at his desk just
itching for fight" The second man
went up and BrownIow disappeared.

Thousands of Negatives Made For
Millionaire August Belmont.

Among rich Americans perhaps
none is so fond of being photographed
as August Belmont, James R. Keene
being a close second. One New York
photographer, whose patrons are most
ly wealthy men, has made thousands
of negatives for Mr.. Belmont in the
last few years. One Of the largest
single orders for prints from old mega
tives ever received by this photog-
capher came from Mr., Belmont himself
soon after the death of his wife. It
included a good print from every mega
tive in which Mrs. Belmont appeared.
The photographer never guessed how
many photographs he had taken for
Belmont till then; he found that they
numbered nearly a thousand.
