TAKING A CAMERA ABROAD.

A Source of Pleasure That May Win
Fine and Imprisonment.
If the American tourist carries his
camera to Europe with him he must
be careful to avoid photographing per-
sons. private property and particular
ly government buildings. forts, docks
and ships without permission. Many
tourists have got themselves into
much trouble in this way, especially
in Russia. where the restrictions are
unusually rigid. and in Germany also.
A few years ago Germany passed
special bill through the reichstag deal
ing with this matter and imposing
heavy penalties upon those who in
fringe the regulations. Damages to
the amount of $500, with q fine of
$3.50 or two months Imprisonment,
shots private person, a work of art
or the interior of a private building
and circulates or publishes the picture
without permission.
Persons in the public eye. such as
members of the royal family, states
men, actors and well known divines
are excepted. says a writer In Country
Life in America. So. too. are public
buildings and works of art in public
galleries.
In Italy the camera of the tourist is
made a means Of providing revenue
for that somewhat Impoverished coun-
try. If You carry your camera when
on a visit to Pompeii or others of the
recently excavated ruins you may take
as many photographs as you please,
! but you are forced to pay a small fee
for each plate exposed.

be met by the soldier. This bill pro-
poses to pay the officers and enlisted
men sums according to the duties re-
quired of them so that a man can
serve without financial sacrifice. At
present the national guard is hardly
holding it's own, and the reports show
that last year there was a net decrease
of 1872 in the strength of the organ

The bill proposes that enlisted men
shall receive s45 a year, the pay of
non-commissioned officers among them
varying according to rank, reaching in
some cases 1925 a year.
An earnest effort is to be made by
the friends of the bill to secure its
consideration in the house at the pres
ent session.

No Money. No MARRIAGE.

"a fortune teller told me that you
are going to marry me-" said the young
man with the prominent socks.
Did she also tell you that you are
going to inherit very large fortune|
inquired the girl with the matinee hair
"She didn't say anything about a
fortune"
Then she is not much of a fortune
teller, and you had better not place
any reliance in anything she says

Two of Uncle Sans most daring
young aviators are Lieutenants Frank
Kennedy and l.. c. Rockwell of the
army aviation squad. Every day in
fair weather they may be seen on
the army aviation field near Wash

ing and unheard of stunts with as
little concern as they would go

men and others like them that the

rfbly. By this time the yard was simply
one enormous dirt heap. Goodness, what
should he do? He looked around in de-
spair, when a sweet little sound struck
his ear. A tiny bird, perched upon a
tree nearby. chirped gently
Turn the broom and sweep with It up
side down"
He thought It strange, but obeyed, and
Immediately all the dirt disappeared,
leaving the yard shining with cleanliness.
The task of the first day was done and
hope began to warm the hearts Of the two
princes. Brought back to their prison in
the same magic way, they heard the fol-
lowing night slight tap on the prison
door. and in another minute the little bird
was inside, saying
Get up and go down into the garden,
which lies in the moonlight beyond the
mall. Go silently. and do not disturb the
dream of the flowers. Bring back the only
lily that grows in it. In the morning you
will have to ride q wild and fierce steed.
Only touch his right ear with the lily
and all will be right"
The advice of the wonderful little bird
proved marvellous. The blood of the
princes almost stood still when the Steed
was led out next morning Il bOlted and
kicked, shot red flames ont of its trem-
bling nostrils and booked 50 fierce and so
terrible that the prince who had to ride
II thought surely his last hour had come.
But it instantly grew as docile as q lamb
when the magic lily touched its ear.
Thus the second task had also been
happily accomplished, owing to the help
full little bird.
Next morning the giant came again,
looking 6ercer than ever. In his hand he
carried tiny golden key.

when the stars opened their glittering
eyes they found them racing still. In
the morning, at last the stag appeared
for the last time. In food Of light it
stood proud, head uplifted, its snow white
beauty making the hearts Of the youths
burn within them. Just as they were
aiming at it It disappeared into the noun

So, of course, after it went into the
mountain they went in search Of it. Here
and there they found a narrow passage

They got Of their horses, and, leading
them one by one, they managed to get
through. 1t was a difficult task, long,
weary way for they wandered almost in
total darkness, the sky being visible in
the distance like a tiny star. Finally,
after hours and hours of wandering, they
reached the.outside again. But what an
outside! How great was their disaVpoint-
ment when they saw that the light they
saw in the distance was neither the sky
nor the sun, but a huge diamond star,
which shone on top Of an immense castle!
Hopelessly they gazed at its mighty walls,
for not even a tiny path did they see upon
which to continue their way. All Of a
sudden a great whirlwind caught them,
and the next instant passed away, and all
was silent again. Then only the two
princes noticed that their two hundred
companions had vanished, with horses and
everything. In horror they looked at
each other and saw that they were tied
90 closely with iron chains that it was i'm
possible to move. The same instant a
burst OF. mighty laughter seemed to. shake
the earth. and suddenly an awful giant,
with a red flaming beard, stood gazing
at them.

royal hunting grounds.
At last they reached the magic silver
lake. As soon as they arrived, from the
crystal palaces in silvery depths all Of
a sudden the water fairies appeared and
started q song wonderfully bewitching.
Then the wood nymphs came out of the
forest, their hands filed with flowers,
which they scattered over the heads as a
sweetly scented flower rain. But the
youths, having another goal paid no
heed. no matter how sweet they sang and
what lovely flowers were bestowed on
them. On they went, as swiftly as the
wind itself. The nymphs and fairies were
deeply hurt by their behavior. In their

which, falling to the ground, turned into
the lilies of the valley.
In the meantime the youths had gone
far. Suddenly a vision appeared in the
distance of the dewy landscape. A slen-

tranquility looking at them with human
eyes. Before they had realized that il
was the royal stag with the golden star,
seen only once in a century, it had van
ished and was seen no more.
The youths stood there in dumb amaze
ment. The dream of every hunter to see
the wonderful stag had been fulfilled,
alas, before they had really known what
it was! But only a short minute they
haIted. Then off they went. two hundred
lads and two hundred horses, in pursuit,
of the royal animal, racing with the swift
windlike, laundering cloud. The wish
to bring home the famous stag with pride
and glory glowed in every heart. SO on
and on they chased until the day grew
old.
But they lost no hope. On they went,

What was to be done? No way out
but the key had to be gotten from the
bottomless lake. But how? They were
at the end of their wits. They sat down,
hoping that luck would come in some
unknown way. And it did. A beautiful
white swan came majesticaIly swimming
along and suddenly dived down before
their eyes and in less time than it takes
me TO tell it il brought the precious key
in its strong beak. Salvation! The
prince took it, and hurrying into the castle
he passed numberless dark halls until at
last he reached a door that was locked.
He fitted the key, unlocked the door, and,
oh, heavens! that moment a terrible
earthquake shook the castle. It thun-
dered, and great big clouds for an instant
hid everything. Then the vspor faded
away, and the prince, amazed and happy
beyond saying, found himself upon .
howery meadow. The mighty castle,
with its gray walls, and the huge noun
tain were nowhere, but instead the two
hundred companions upon their milk
white horses stood before them. But,
what was even more wonderful, two lovely
maidens, seated upon huge eagles hover
ing above, as wonderful as fairies can be,
with crowns woven Of lilies, approached
them. and, dismounting their strange
horses, one, her voice sounding ike the
tinkle of a silver bell, said -
Don't you know me? l am the little
bird that saved you from the monsters

that brought the key to your brother.
We are the daughters of the fairy king,
whom the giant had stolen once when we
were playing and gathering flowers upon

power is broken, and we shall be very
happy together"

princesses and the two hundred com

they held such a wedding that their mer-
