the mans going to take your picture,
they all puckered their mouths and
wrinkled their eyes, smiled and some
Of them cried.
That came near spelling the pic

man of experience, he was able to
press the kodak button between cries,
so that he got a good picture. and yet

Defoe lived for part OF his active

the daughter. with something of her

and came 20 America.
So desperate was her case that she
shipped as a redemptioner. and on
landing at Philadelphia was put up at
auction for a term Of years in order
that the ship captain might have pay
for her passage. Her time was bought
by substantial farmer from Cecil
county, Md. on the Eastern Shore. and
with the farmer she went to Maryland
to do the ordinary work OF maid
about the house.
Defoe's niece. however. had some
thing Of good looks. plenty Of energy
and spirit and a fair education. so she
caught the eye of her masters son.
and the pair were married The girl
had brought to America little more
than the clothes In which she stood.
but after Defoe and her mother died
she inherited the iatter's household

A REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPH

~NeMm@r@N@Nsr@N~~~N~N~N~N~r
The accompanying photograph was
taken by a lucky amateur during
severe thunderstorm at Long Braach,
n. j., on the night Of July l. The
picture Is a unique one, owing to the
fact that the two flashes are shown
exactly as they occurred, one directly
after the other. apparently striking
the ocean. The flashes which are
seen over the Atlantic in the frequent
storms which occur during the summer
season ore OF the most beautiful kind;
IL the present Instance the ocean was
so well Illuminated tha. one could dis
tinguish several ships Of various types
riding out the storm. It will be seen
IN the photograph that in obtaining
the two flashes tho camera was moved
a trlde. This. however. does not spoil
the photograph, as the flashes still re-
main in their relative positions. Usu-
