- LIFE: JEISSORS ArT NvLLv§ ‘THE man who most deserves a monument does not need it. If you want to live long, don’t try to live more than one day at a time. When a lazy man looks toward heaven, the angels close the windows. Job had boils to be sure, but then he didn’t have ‘any newspaper portrait. A hint to churches—ice is never allowed to stay long in front of asaloon, The fact that a man wants more knowledge is proof that he has some al- ready. When you want to see the crooked made straight, look at a railroad map. There ought to be more religious people who are religious when things don't go right, There is nothing for which men have to pay so dear as for the privilege of being stingy.” There are plenty of people who become very pious when God gets them in a tight place. Men will skin one another alive in trade who would starve rather than go into house- breaking asa business, It won't help your own crop any to look over the fence and count the weeds in your neighbor's garden. Whenever a bird goes to fly, it looks up, but some men shut their eyes whenever they takean important step. The moment a man finds out he has been making a fool of himself he has learned something valuable.—Ram's Horn. ‘A Harte lady recently employed a colored boy as a man of all work whose name was Lycurgus Jones. short . “+ Ise don’t likes nicknames,” he replied ; Jonesey.

He was telling this doctor what he thought was the trouble with him, wher the doctor ventured to disagree with his diagnosis. “I beg your pardon,” said the patient, in a haughty way, ‘it isn’t for a young physician like you to disagree with at old and experienced invalid like me!" And he went out to seek another physiciaa, PEARY PRESSED THE BUTTON. The Wonderful Series of Kodak Photos Which He Made Among Greenland’s Icy Mountains. Lieut, Peary's expedition to the Arctic re- gions wasa remarkable success from more than one standpoint, but the brave explorer fairly outdid himself asa photographer. He not only heeded the advice, "* Take a Kodak with you,” but went further and took three. Peary started northward with twenty-three rolls of film, and so vigorously did he “press the button " that he secured 2,000 first-class nega- tives. The New York Sun in speaking of them says : “The fact that over 2,000 of the negatives have produced photographs of superior excel- tence speaks highly for the good quality of his instrument. * ® * # It is certain that the pictorial results of no previous Arctic expedition compare with those Peary has achieved. * *# * # Ethnologists will be particularly pleased with Peary's large series | off photographs of nude subjects. They are |) Glare and definite in all details that in ‘eases even every marking in the palms Of thie hands may be distinctly traced.” Lieut, Peary is very enthusiastic over his siitcess and is already planning a Kodak out- fit for his next trip. In a letter to Mr. W. P. Buchanan, of Philadelphia, dated Dec. 16th, he says: “ My large percentage of successes (nearly | if not quite go per cent.) cannot be ascribed to special ability on my part, as I had never used a Kodak previous to this trip, and knew nothing of practical photography. ‘It isa simple statement of fact that my pictures were ‘all taken with a Kodak’ and it is but justice to say that I regard the Kodak as responsible for my having obtained a series of pictures of Arctic life and surroundings which in quality and quantity exceed any that have been brought back from Greenland and the Smith Sound region.” IF RD CELEBRATED HATS, —aNp— Ladies’ Round Hats and Bonnets And The Dunlap Silk Umbrella. 178 & 180 Fifth Avenue, bet. 22d & a3d Sts, and 181 Broadway, near Cortlandt St. NEW YORK.
