Fortifying the Panama Canal.

Having invested nearly $375,000,-

been undertaken purely as an in

make it impossible in time of war
for any enemy to take possession of
the waterway, or to damage it to
such an extent that the ships of

The Lone Pine.
Dawn on the mist; above the pines
A lonely pine uprears
Long ghost-hung branches to the
breeze,
Scared with the olden years.
The mist writhes upward at the

OF some ar-hidden bird;
But clearer grows the sentinel,
His brethren dim and blurred.
So stand, my, soul, amid thy fears
High over wind and wrath;
Across the darkling drift of years
A sentinel to faith!

Miss Belle Johnson of Monroe
City, Mo-, did not follow the crowd.
Born at Mendoza, ILL.,, she went to
Monroe City in 1891, and there
hung out a shingle to the effect that
she was a photographer. She was
young and ambitious.
One rarely thinks OF photogra-
pher in a small town as being on
the high road to fame, but that
didn't WUuy Belle Johnson. Town
boosters said Monroe City would
grow. II has grown. 1t mas 1000
population. according to town boost
ers. According to the cross my
heart figures of the census of 1910,
it has a population of 1,949.
Yet Belle johnson, photographer
in her little town, is more famous
than many Monroe City folks who
went to New York and Paris years
ago. In fact, she has appeared in
those big cities and has won medals
for her remarkable work. Here's
the story of how she won her lau-
rels as written by one of those who
contributed his part toward wear
ing the path to her door after read
ing that she was famous all over
the Photographic world for her cat
pictures.
When Miss johnson started in her
little country town she learned that
some things are harder 10 photo
graph than others. She learned
that old people were harder to pho
tograph than middle-aged ones.
That is, it was harder to get their
natural expression.
All right" said Miss Johnson,
I'll photograph old people"
After specializing in old people
awhile, she had experience with
babies. Babies are very elusive to
photograph. They will laugh and
coo and do anything cute as long as
there is no camera about, but the
instant an attempt is made to pho
tOgraph them they begin to cry,
hang their heads down and do. all
the things babies are not supposed
to do.
I'll photograph babies" said
Miss johnson.
That made two specialities. One
day a girl came to her studio with
a kitten. She wanted to be photo
graphed with the kitten in her arms
That presented difficulties because
the cat would not be still.
Right there Miss Johnson began
to specialize in cats. In fact, any,
thing that was hard to photograph
became Miss Johnson's forte. She
wanted to do well anything anyone
else had hard work dong. Animal
photography is hard, so she has
worked hard at photoeraphing all
kinds of animals. Her pictures of
kittens have won her the most
fame. They have been exhibited
both in America and Europe and
have won medals at many exhib-
its. She is the holder of thirty gold
and silver medals from photograph
ic exhibitions and conventions for

kittens always want to do some
thing you do rot wish them to do
They insist on sleeping when one
tries to take a picture of them

Cats will not argue a question.
They do as they please without dis.

Much money has been spent On cat

to consideration in order to get the
proper pose. Lighting speed cam
eras are also needed to bring the
best results. In photographing kit
tens for instance they must be
caught in the right position and
snapped before they can change.
Any photographer can take a
picture of cat. 1t takes an artist
to photograph that cat doing some
particular thing. In human beings

we have no equivalent name. so we
will have to let it 60 at expression.

wants to sleep. Both of them, how
ever, have their gazed turned TO-
ward the book just as though they

pictures. In taking such pictures
the average photographer fails be-
cause it is impossible to get the cat

The photographer who wins in cen

tention on pictures leaves the realm
of common photographers and en-
tiers the rank of the artist.
1t is easy to get a grown person
to look at a book.
Animals cannot be reasoned with
All you have to do is to say
Look at the book" The cat, how.
ever, mas to be interested in another
manner because it has no way Of
communication with mankind.
Another difficult feat is to photo
graph a cat sitting in any comfort
able position. A cat will spend
hours in a crouching position in
front of woodpile watching for
mouse. A cat will stand under the
dripping caves waiting to pounce
on a bird and never move a muscle.
