important TO Mothers
Acts Almost Automatically.

Among camera improvements is an
instrument so completely automatic
that it is almost impossible for the
operator to make mistake. In the
first place, as the camera is~ opened
the lens automatically finds the prop
er place for a universal focus. 1t Is
magazine camera carrying plates,
and in order to prevent premature
exposure the plate does not fall into
its place until the shutter is adjusted,
and after the exposure it Immediately
takes its place in the magazine again.
AS the plates are exposed they are
automatically numbered SO that they
may be readily identified when being
developed. 1t is said to be impossible
to make double exposure or, to
neglect to expose plate by any ac-
cident. If any of the essential opera
tions of making the picture are over
looked the instrument is made mop
erative, so that the instrument is
"fool-proof."

ONLY FOR PIOUS MoSLEMS
Fish, to Which Is Attached Quaint
Legend, Is Distinctly
"Anti-Chrlstian."

The halemma, a short, gold-striped
fish much appreciated by the Moham-
medan natives of Mogador, is said to
be "anti-C Christian" to such an extent
that the European fisherman, however
great his skill at home, finds his hook
quite ineffective, while alongside him
O ragged Moor may be rapidly filling
his baskets. A quaint legend is at
tached to the fish, which every good
Mohammedan firmly believes. In the
dim and distant past halemma was SO
numerous close to the town that towns
folk went down and caught them from
the rocks, and when the boatmen came
back from their hard days toll on the
island they found the market glutted
and no sale for their fish. So they
complained to sanity man then stay
ing in the town, called sid BouDe-
kerr" asking if he could not send the
fish away from the rock lodges near
the town. Being duly propitiated the
holy man went down to a commanding
position on high rock, summoned all
the halemma tribe before him, claim
ing the law of Allah against them,
making them an impressive Grafton,
ending with an Injunction to leave
those waters and proceed to certain
rocks specified by his clients. Where
upon the gold-striped ones obediently
departed, and since that day not
halemma has been taken from the
mainland rocks near the town, where
as they may be found and caught
plentifully-by pious Moslems, be it I'M
derstood-every summer at the Rock
of Grass" the Rock of Haha," and
other points outside Mogador island,
designated by the pious and faithful
fishermen.

CHAPTER III.
The Candidate.

The butchers boy brought the It'd
ings of the auction sale in at the
kitchen door of the Old Ladies' home
even while Angy and Abe were lin
gering over their posies, and the in
mates of the home were waiting to
receive the old, wife with the greater
sympathy and the deeper spirit OF
welcome from the fact that two OF
the twenty-nine members had known
her from girlhood. away back in the
boarding-school days.
"Yop," said the boy, with one eye
upon the stout matron, who was criti'
cally examining the meat that he had
brought. "Yop, the auctions over, an

you, Miss Abigail? You won't find
better, nicer, tenderer and more
juicier piece of shoulder this side OF
New York. Take 1t back, did you say!
All right, ma am, all right" His face
assumed a look of resignation: these
old ladies made his life martyrdom
He used to tell the "fellers" that he
spent one-half his time carrying orders
back and forth from the Old Ladies
home. But now, In spite of his meek
ness of manner, he did not intend to
take this cut back. So with Machia
vellian skill he fastened on with his
gossip.
"Yop, an they only riz one hundred

But he was gone. Signing heavily,
the matron put the meat in the icebox,
and then made her slow, numbering
way into the front hall, or community
room, where the sisters were gathered
in body to await the new arrival.

after she had finished telling her pitt
