PHOTOGRAPHIC ANIMALS.
Seine Dangers the Man Behind tn.
camsra Encounters.

camsra Encounters.
/ Today the camera penetratei
everywhere, and sometimes its use
is attended with considerable dan
ger and difficulty. Nowhere is this
more pronounced than when the
camera is brought into use in TAX
ing lifelike pictures of wild ami
mails in captivity.
How hazardous this may be is
shown by the following incident,
which happened not long ago at
big geological garden abroad; A
fine white leopard had been added to
the collection, and as soon as it ap-
peared to have settled down the au-
thorities decided to have it photo
graphed. 1t seemed to be fairly
quiet creature-neryous and timid,
to be sure, but without any sign of
temper.
When the keeper entered its cage
it had taken little notic0of him be-
yond the usual splitting Fad Kissing
natural to its kind. The photogra-
pher therefore followed the keeper
into its cage without apprehension
of trouble.
! He set up his apparatus, adjusted
it, took several pictures of the
leopard, and all seemed satisfactory.
As he shut up his camera, however,
the operator CHANGED to shuttle his
feet once OF twice on the floor of
the cage.
Like a streak Of lightning the
leopard, with an ominous snarl,
leaped at him, and before he could
move the animal was gripping his
ankle with his forepaws and flu
riously biting at his foot. Luckily
the keeper and some assistants sue
ceeded in beating off the beast in
time to save the photographers life,
but it was a narrow squeak.
At the same zoo some time after
when an attempt was made to pho
tograph one of the llamas-an ami
NAL generally considered to be q
fairly docile creature, with nothing
particularly Objectionable about it
beyond its habit of spitting-the
photographers subject revealed
its true nature by suddenly making
a dash for camera and operator, and
before the latter could be rescued
be was the recipient of innumerable
scratches, cuts and bruises which
took some weeks to heal.
1t is an open question whether
seals and sea lions are vicious or
not. They are certainly extremely
curious and anxious to find out
things for themselves, and a pho
tographer who tried to take pic
ture Of troupe of performing sea
lions had an experience worth re-
cording.
He erected his tripod and camera
and was about to make the exposure
when one of the sea lions wriggled
off his pedestal and made straight
for the camera. 1t was all done so
quickly that before the photogra-
pher realized it the camera was up
set and the sea lion was biting the
mans legs and feet pretty sharply.
The trainer got him away, and no
serious harm was done, but he ex-
planned to the camera man that sea
lions often did a little biting just
to find out what an object was made

The OTHER POINT or VIEW.
Tyo DO nttls kirl Of ten
Seems nice Shosizh-fo boys ant
II wonder n they've ever tried
To argue from the other side?
I don't suppose they'd ever guess
The stiffness OF q starched white dress.
I wonder how they'd like the hooks
Let alone the way II looks.
They'd nsyer at at home and sew
And watch their brothers come and 90.
I should not even Ike 70 say
That they would bear u for day.
They do not know how hard It seems
To be girl stu In ones dreams,
TO feel that ono can never be
A drummer boy or so to sea.
Our brothers say we're hard TO please
1eoatss We long for things like thess.
They think Il Is q pleasant iifs
To wait until you're some ones wife.
When I'm wife I'll gladly sit
At home and cook and sew and knit.
But there's lot OF waiting when
You're but little girl OF ten.
Our brothers do not seem to know
That waiting can be very slow.
You see, they've never really tried
To argue from the other side.

Persistence.

Persistency is characteristic of
all men who have accomplished any
thing great. They may lack in
some particular, may have many
weaknesses and eccentricities, but
the quality of persistence is pever
absent in successful man No
matter what opposition he meets or
what discouragements oyertake him,
he is always persistent. Drudgery
cannot disgust him. Labor cannot
weary him. He will persist, no mat
ter what comes or goes. 1t is a
part of his nature. He could al
most as easily stop breathing. 1t is
not so much brillianey of intellect
or fertility of resource as persist
ency of effort, constaRcy of purpose,
that gives success.

Red Haired chsrmers.

"There are no red haired old
maids"
The speaker, a red haired actress
went on:
"The red haired have an excess
Of iron in their blood. This causes
them to overflow with vitality, ami
NAL spirits, gayety, wit, charm
but l must not boast, must !"
She smiled, and smoothing her
rudy locks with slim white hand,
she added:
at any rate it is a palpable fact
that the red haired girl never gets
left. As a rule she is married ct
twenty. A red haired old maid is a
sarity."-New York Press.

Over Pair Of Leysrs
On the return voyage of one Of
the big liners not long ago were
two little girls, cousins, of twelve
and thirteen years. They got on
beautifully together, though they
differed in disposition and character
as well as in appearance, Saliie, the
elder, being an extremely discreet
little woman, while A[argaret's
methods we're distinctly guileless.
Sallie, too, was tall and slender and
Margaret a real little ball Of hard,
white flesh.
Both their mothers were too i'll
to be on deck, and when the voy-
age was little more than half over
Salie descended one day to her
aunt's stateroom with q troubled
face.
"Auntie," she said, 'T do wish
you'd speak to Margaret. Honest
ly, she hasn't one bit of tact. There
is the dearest young lady aboard,
Miss Agnew, and Mr.. Phillips is in
love with her, | know. Anyhow,
they wander off by themselves every
afternoon and are gone for hours.
And yesterday Margaret followed
them and stayed all the time-she
ought to know better"
Margaret's mother sighed and
seized the first opportunity to have
it out with her daughter.
ooh, my fat Peggy, you didn't
follow Miss Agnew and Mr.. Phil
lips, did your"
eyes, mother, l did," responded
Margaret unfslteringly. "Eyery
single day they go away and stay
for hours, and / couldn't think
what they found to talk about so
long, and l wanted to know, so /
thought I'd 60 and see."
She paused for breath, and her
mothers sigh became a groan,
Then she resumed: "And I went,
and they sat down together and
never said a word! l stood right in
front Of them and sucked my
orange and watched them. After
long time Miss Agnew said wasn't
it a lovely day, and Mr.. Phillips
said how blue the sky was, and oh,
look, there's a sail And, mother,
they didn't talk about another thing
all the time l stood there, most two
hours, listening hard. Once Miss
Agnew asked if / wasn't cold, and
1 said how could l be with my nice
thick REFER? Mr.. Phillips looked
cross somehow, but after awhile he
got very pleasant again and said;
"'Aren't you hungry, Margaret?
Don't you want to go and get an
other orange?'
+" No, ! don't said !. I'm not
hungry. I've had eight today al
ready
"And then, mother, they didn't
stay there any longer. l saw Mr..
Phillips go into the smoking room,
and Miss Agnew said she was SO
tired she guessed she'd have a nap"

is CONSUMPTION INhERlTED1
Opinion Of a Prominent Bacterioioeist
Given at Recent Lecture at
Harvard Colleqe.

Prof. III. G. ErDst in a recent lecture
before Harvard Medical school discussed
this theory at length. He claims that
consumption is not an inherited disease,
and that the children of parents who
have had tuberculosis are as likely to
grow up strong and healthy as children
of parents who have not. DR.. Ernst
further claims that the cardinal means
for curing this dread disease are plenty OF
fresh air, sufficient nutritious food, rest
and exercise.
For centuries physicians everywhere
have recognized the value of cod liver oil in
the treatment of consumption and all
wasting diseases, but unfortunately few
could take it with benefit on account OF
the indigestible oil.
Vinol has solved this problem. It is
the modern cod liver preparation without
OIL made by scientific, extractive
and concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, combining With pep
tomato of iron, all the medicinal, healing
and bodybuilding elements of cod liver
oil, but no oil or grease. As specific
for all throat and lung troubles, and as a
strength creator and body builder VinoI
is unexcelled. Try it on our offer to re-

Some remarkable stories are being told
about town and among the country peo-

tions for takiDg:-Mix by shaking well

This mixture. writes one authority in a
leading Philadelphia newspaper. has a
peculiar tonic effect upon the kidneys

iminative tissues, forcing the kidneys to
sift and strain from the blood the uric
acid and other poisonous waste matter,
overcoming rheumatism, bladder and
urinary troubles in a short while.

hundreds of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement in the news-
