Homesickness SpoiIs Photooraphs.

Aunt Maria thought. and so did her
New York relatives. that the photog'
rapher was unpardonably discourteous
For three successive days he refused
to take Aunt Marta's photograph On
the fourth day he told why.
I'm justice to her" he said. II do not
want to take her picture now. She is
too homesick- Most out of town people
want to be photographed while in New
York If they are longing for home
put them of with one excuse or another
until the homesickness wears on.
IF you want your aunt's pictures tc
turn out we'll just hunt up some one
from her home town who happens tc
be visiting in New York at present and
bring him here so she will meet him
unexpectedly. The meeting will put

Ladies and Gentelemen: By the re- quest of the chairman of the commit tee beg leave to introduce to you the reader of the evening, a gentleman whose great learning, whose historical accuracy, whose devotion to science and whose veneration for the truth are only equalled by his high moral character and his majestic presence. I allude-in these vague and general terms-to myself. I am little op- posed to the custom of tremendously introducing a reader to the audience, because 1t seems unnecessary where the man has been properly advertised! But, as it is the custom, I prefer to make it myself-in my own case and then can rely on getting in all the facts! 1 never had but one intro ductiOn, that seemed to me just the thing, and the gentleman was not &C., quainted with me and there was no nonsense, He said: Ladies and gentlemen.
