Modern Taste in Photographs.

The modern taste in photographs is
very apt to be entirely critical.
People are particular as to what they
want in this line. Nothing but the
best is good enough for them. ihaC' IS
why Logan, the busiest photographer
in Stockton, has so many customers
amongst the critical class. His work
is most excellent. You'll find it
handsomely finished, clear and dis
tinct and true to life. Have a dozen
made next time you are IN town.
Your friends will want one as soon as
they see them. Prices no higher than
elsewhere. Stu 10 at IL South San

WHY WE WRITE.
(Joe McGee.D

(JOe McGee.)
Sometimes we think wen write no
more.
And lay aside our pen,
And throw our inkjug out the door
our scribblings to the wind
And so we start out with this end
Fixed firmly in our mind,
lust then Wen meet some old-timc
friend.
He'll say Your piece was fine"
And then n spell comes over us
We cannot quite explain,
And so we find our old ink-iug
And try our hand again.
We're going to think, then, what we
please,
And say just what we think.
And send It out upon the seas.
And let II swim or sink.
Perhaps some friend may smile at
this.
Even call it common rot.
But Oft thought will still exist
Long aft its critics forgot.
Again he says "No thought exists,
'Tis only worthless husk,
But we must use the little gift.
Which nature gave to us.
And II you do not like our rhyme,
Just lay It on the shelf,
And some day when We have the time
Wen read il DER ourself.
