THE PLEAsUREs A CAMERA GIVES

I know many pleasures camera
gives so I will tell about them.
A camera is very much fun, for
when you go out on a pleasure trip
you can take pictures of your friends IN
so many different ways.
Once their was a party of five start :
ed out to the beach. One man In the
party possessed camera. He was
quite wise man to think Of bringing
the camera. will tell you Of the Diff
ferent ways they had pictures taken.
The man brought six films with him.
One way was where they were all IN
the automobile. Another way was
where man had his little child on his
back, playing horse. This party had
very much fun with their camera.
Another party was on train to visit
the mountains, when all at once a. lit
tie girl found room to speak. She said
her papa ought to have a camera.
When they got as far as Denver they
purchased Brownie No. 2 camera. The
little girl was very happy for she was
thinking Of the pictures they would
have taken in the mountains.
One Christmas some friends were in
|vited to spend the afternoon at house.
One child said, What will we do this
Afternoon for did not bring bit OF
my toys"
The little girl of the house said, 20,
do not worry what we shall do. I have
something that will amuse you ALI"
do tell US what it is them" said her
uncle. "for we are very anxious"
The little girl led them in and there
on the table was camera.
20. pray do not let my face be IN
on any of the pictures" said her uncle.
you shall be in on every picture ]
take" said the little child.
They had fourteen different pictures
taken. The camera was the greatest
sport Of the day with those merry folks.
But the greatest pleasure Of a camera
lis to take snap shots when you are
not expecting them.

JOHNS BRIGHT IDEA.

Mrs Meredith was a kind and
thoughtful woman. She spent great
deal Of time visiting the poor. One
morning she told her children OF some
people she had visited the day BEFORE,
There was a man sick In bed, ana
the woman could not go out to work.
They had a little boy named Ber-
nard. :.
Il wish you could see him." she said
to her children, John, Harry ana
Clara. HE Is such help to his moth .
er. He wants to earn some money, ana
II don't know what he can do"
| After their mother went out OF the
little Bernard. I wish we help him.
said little Clara.
| $50 do T." said Harry.
For while John said nothing, and
all at once he sprang to his feet, i
have an idea"
| When John had an idea It was sure to
be good one. I tell you what we
can do. You know that big box 81
corn Uncle Sam sent US for popping
paper bags, for Bernard to sell. When
their mother heard Of this, she thought
| it was good one. The children were
soon popping the corn.
| She went out to buy the paper bags,
and when she came back Bernard was
with her
| He started out selling the corn, and
in little while he came back. In his
mitten he had, ten nickles. He had
never earned so much money before
When he found out the money was HIS
he was much delighted.
When he went home. John said, I'VE
have enough corn to send Bernard ever
so many times" Their mother sa'd
you may send him every Saturday, Il
you will pop the corn yourself.
Il will" said John, and he kept his
word. Bernard went out every Satur'
day for many weeks. no matter how
good the casting and skating was
John always popped the corn, and saw
that bernard was started out all right.
The people began to watch for Ber-
nard. and every week he had fifty cents
to take home, and often more. All OF
this was because Of Johns bright idea.

KODAK RANKS FIRST.

OF all pleasure making devices l
think the kodak ranks first Of all.
When get tired Of the hot dusty city
with my sister and few necessaries
comprising lunch, hammock and
kodak are ready for day of real
pleasure.
Our favorite stopping place is on
the bank Of the river just west of the
Blackhawk bridge. This is the scene
Of my very early childhood, also the
birthplace of my mother and two sis
tiers.
Just up the bank of the river about
q mile from the Blackhawk bridge is
where my grandfather used to run
the ferry boat. There was once a cot
tage stood close to the curve of the
river and there were beautiful shade
trees there but the river has changed
it's course and the bank is washed en-
tirely away where the little cottage
and trees We're is the deepest of the
river now. Grandfather also Is gone.
He died when was very young.
Sitting on the bank in this place,
one can get some very beautiful snap
shots of the river, and Of the gasoline
launches as they go up and down the
river. u,
I have a few relatives living in
that vicinity also some dear friends.
I can call upon and altogether this
is very attractive place for me to
spend day. n'@. !" s-s
