 FnOtOS ana muQ
 It was remarkably fine piece of weather that struck us last Sunday, and from the standpoint of amateur photo graphers there was an irresistible temp tation to take pictures-and that's where the trouble began. The fair Kodakist who saw all sorts of things to snap, found that she had no films-but we'll not mention her name. The enthusiasts, who had been looking for just such day for two months, found themselves fifteen miles from where they wanted l to be when this kind of a day came but its not necessary to mention any | names. One man who really did expose | plate, selected his point of view from the upheaval of earth alongside the c. N. E. track just east of Chapinville | station from which was obtained an eX | ceptionally fiue view of the TacOni, | range of mountains with the edge of | the lake in the foreground But he earned all he got. This hump of terra l firma that looked so enticing, proved a | delusion and a snare, for the instant | our photographer lit upon it be began to go down into the mud, clay, sand | water, and other ingredients that help | to make such places attractive, until il | became no laughing matter. When | nearly up to his knees it occurred to him | that, possibly, there may be other places just as good for picture taking, and af ter considerable wallowing ng-with tho l exercise of an appropriate vocabulary a. an auxiliary-succeeded ill extrieatin2 | himself. The soliloquy of this man OF his way home would be interesting read ing-a photographer at heart, "a mud slinger'' at foot. But we're not men tioning names.
