AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHS.
How a Man Talks When He Shows
Them to a Friend.


Them to a Friend.
Here's the way the average man
shows his little book of amateur pho
tographs to a friend:
This is supposed to be my wife, but
it amt very good. Let's see the next
one. Well. that's the baby. but the
sun was wrong. On this page is a fam
lily group. | took it myself, and it
would be a good picture if three of
'em hadn't moved. Oh, yes, Here's
one my wife took Of me. Looks like
the dickens. don't it? She amt used
to the camera. but notice how I'm grin
ming.
And dyOu see what a good back
ground I'm posed in? I'd just got back
from the Office. and she just had one
film left and thought she might as we'll
snap me and finish up the roll-you
see, didn't have time to comb my hair
or-what? Why, the one on the next
page is a freak thing my next door
neighbor snapped, showing his baby
falling out Of an upstairs window. Not
much good-he didn't have a good
light, and the baby was falling too fast
to be quite in focus. Now, here's an
other one of me-my wife never could
get the hang of the camera, but people
say the wink is natural. l had quite
bunch OF 'em printed because she want
ed 'em to give around. Oh, those pic
lures are pretty fair. We took them
at the lakes. There's people you don't
know in em, and you'll hardly be in
terested. Well, hey, Mary, what's be-
come of that one with me in it?
wish you'd keep all these pictures to-
gether. You monkey with this book
till all the best ones get lost out!
"Well, | guess the rest won't inter-
est you. We keep 'em because they're
good souvenirs. Lot O. my wife's
friends posed in the grand canyon and
SUCH A professional photographer
don't get the personal touches that
make these snapshot pictures nice to
keep. Now, just take that one Of me
you saw back there. It's not much
good as a likeness, but they tell me
there's something characteristic about
it-what? Why turn back? It's on

Turtle Eggs.

Turtle eggs are an acquired taste
with most people, although they are
not so with bears They have rough
yellow yolk and white like any other
egg, but you can cook them for a year
and the white part will remain liquid.
Notice curious dimple in the side of
each one. If you squeeze it out the
limple appears on the other side, and
you can never get hold Of turtle egg
which hasn't got dimple in it.

''The question of distribution is one
of the most serious of our time" re-

simplest statement of innocent fact
after it has been passed around by the
gossips. "-Washington Star.
