"Any man," said Jerry, lifting hor
chin slightly, "who would linpersonnto

beyond question, bo utterly Insano
and nn object of compnsslon. I'rof.
Grlswold, will you pleaso produco
your imaginary Applowclght, as nt
this hour Mrs. AtchlHon usually serves

Ono of Grlswold's rotlnuo ran off to
summon tha prisoner, who wns guard
cd by half a dozen soldiers nenr at
hand.
'fiie company In the bunKHb'w woro
all laughing heartily at somo sully by
tho adjutant gonornl of South Caro
lina, who insisted upon giving a light
note to tho proceedings, when hurried
footsteps sounded on tho vornnda and
ft ncrgeant appeared In ftio doorway
and iialutcd.
The. adjutant general, annoyed at
being interrupted in tho tolling of a
new story, frowned and bado tho ser
geant produco bin prisoner. At once
a man was thrust Into tho room, a
tall man, with a short, dark beard and
slightly Hloopliig Hhouldors. Tho
'strong llcht at his bnck mndo it diffi
cult for tho peoplo grouped nbou tho
tabic to sco his fnco clearly, but tlio
air somehow scorned charged with
olectrlclty, and nil bont forward,
straining for a' sight of tho cnptlvo.
Aa ho stood framed in tlio doorway
lilu faco was slowly disclosed to them,
and thoro nppoared to b" u humorous
f.winklo In his oycB. Boforo nny ono
ripokc, lio broko out in a hearty laugh.
Then a cry rose piercingly In tho.
quiet room a cry of nmnzoment
Irom the lips of Jerry Dangorflold,
who had taken a stop forward,
"Oh, papa!" bIio cried,
"The govornor!" roared Col. Dnu
Lcnspcck, leaping ncross tho table.
"It's Gov. DatiRorflold!" shouted
half n dozen men in chorus.
At this moment Mrs. Atchison and
J.Uss Barbara Osborno stole softly in
nnd ranged tllomsclvcs at tho back
of the room.
Tho governor of North Cnrolina
crossed to tho tnblu and took his
-daughter's hand.
, "Jerry, what part do you play In
these nmatour theatricals?"
Jerry rose, thrusting her hnndkor
chief into her sleovo, nnd her lips
trembled slightly, though whether
with mirth or somo snberor emotion
it would bo uimuiilt to say. The room
at onco gavo her attention, seeing
that sho was about to speak.
"Papa, boforo theco peoplo I am not

'Ladles and gentlomcn," began tho
governor of North Carolina, laying n
hnnd upon tho tabic, and with tho
other seizing tho lapel of his rough,
brown coat a poso mndo familiar by
nil his photographs "tho Jails of
North Carolina aro moro uncomfort

for mo to havo suffered arrest and
Imprisonment to roallzo tho dopth of
my daughter's love and tho Jealousy
with which she has safeguarded ray
private and public honor."
Ho felt for n handkerchlof nnd
touched it gently to his eyes; but
Collins declared iiflerwttid that Gov.
Dangerfleld was exactly like his
daughter and that ono never could bo
sure that his mirth was genuine.
"I was nwaro only yesterday, when
I saw a newspaper for tho first tlmo
In ft wcok, that political capital was
being made of my nbsenco from
Hnleigh; and that my dear frlond, tho
governor of South Carolina, also, was
being called to account for flinching
in the faco of Imperative duty."
"Your friend, governor?" cried Ard
more, unable to restrain himself.
"Certainly, Mr. Arduore," continued
Oov. Dangorflold. "That angry part
ing of ours at New Orleans wns all
for effect to get npneo In tho news,
papors. Wo had confided to each
other that tho enres of stato had
worn ua to an intolerable point and
that wo must havo rest. Brother Ap
plowolght had, I confess, given us
both a great deal of annoyance, nnd
to bo frank, neither Osborno nor I
wished to take tho lnltlatlvo in bin

and finding tho marks of tho olllclal

tho houso was partly In North, pnrtly

As ho patisod, Mlsu Osborno stepped
forward, tho men making wny for hor.
"If this bu true, Gov. Dangerfleld,
mny 1 ask you, sir, what has beeoino

Gov. J)angerflold smiled.

but whatever of anger or Joy thcro

he demanded to know tho meaning of
tho outrngcotw Indignity to which ho

Tho more his friend stormed tho

"it is qulto trtio, Hint finding your

f9( I IB fact that photography Is
l
iiTmp a proiession oi iiscii, a:ui
inut tuousnnus or men an
over tho world are getting
rich by means of it In splto
of the popular amateur com
petition, has been almost lost sight of
oxcept by those still enguged In tho
business. The more scientific and ar
tistic improvements thnt hnve como
up lmvo enabled thoso following pho
tography for their llfo work to keep
ahead, as they have always done, and
thcro is now a better field than over
for the excrclso of their talonts.
It Is quite likely that your boy, en
thused by tho fair quality of tho pic
tures ho has been able to make with
his cheap llttlo camera, aspires to tho
bigger attainments shown by tho mnn
who has mndo photograph? his busi
ness. It is tho purpose of this ortlclo
to show him somo of tho steps bo will
havo to take to reach tho success ho
craves.
First ho should apply to tho propri
etor of tho nenrest Inrge gallery for a
Job, telling him that ho wishes to be
come, a first-claBs photographer. If the
proprietor has no vacancy, npply to
another. The boy need not have bnd
moro than n rudimentary education,
for academic training is not at all
necessary. Getting the job, ho will
discover that ho la little moro than a
porter or a roustabout, swooping out
tho gallery, washing bottles and doing
othor kinds of ordinary labor about
tho studio.
Naturally of an observant nature,
your boy will begin soon to ncquiro a
vagus understanding of how various
things aro done. Ills first gllmpso of
this new knowledge will come in tho
dark room, whoro plates aro removed
from tho holders after "pictures arc
taken" In the studio proper, and other
manipulating Is done.
His first work of really professional
character will be to change plnfes in
theso holders, learning- that the least
bit of light will spoil them, and to dls
UubiiIhIi between tho smooth glass
side and the velvety feeling of the
othor. This must be dono ontlroly by
Bonso of touch, in an nbsolutoly dark
room, or where thcro is only a small
rod light. Then, ns bo has boon watch
ing the shifting and substitution of va
rious backgrounds as different expos
ures are made, ho will learn that for
a bust picture of a womnn wearing
her hat tho background will bo of a
certain kind, nnothcr If hor hat Is off.
still another If tho picture Is to bo
full longth. etc., and ho will attond to
this under direction of tho operator.
Then ho will tako tho negatives,
which havo been mado by an experi
enced man, to the roof or light win
dow nnd mako proofs, which aro to
bo submitted to the customer for ap
proval; will be shown how to put
prluts Into the water for washing and,
when thoy havo been cleansed of all
chemicals, how to put them Into tho
drying rack, how to tako prints thnt
havo properly dried ami mount them
on tho heavy backs, and, finally, will
do printing and toning without hnv
lng to bo watched constantly by bis
bous.
Pretty soon, say within n couplo of
years nftor ho has started, your boy
will bo a full-ficdgcd printer and earn
ing anywhere from $12 to $20 a week,
according to the ability ho mnnlfcsts.
This means that ho will tako the nega
tives and mako prints In proper expos
ure and develop Ilium -.tthout having
to bo showu how.
Ills next nml Inst stage, which Is
most Important, will bo that of opera
tor. This Is tho man who poses the
subject In the gallery, knows Just tho
proper background nnd tho necessary
lighting and Blinding to use, tho cor
rect lens and plate, and tho exact ex
posure to bo made, whether of a tenth
of a second or of a minute. Tho pine
lug of tho subject, tho lighting and tho
oxposuro aro tho thlngn that deter
mine tho guide of tho pictures, for al
most anybody can mako good prints
from a good negative, but nobody can
make a fine print frorj a poor one.
Tho minimum pay for an oporator Is
alMiut $25 a week, according to tho
standing and Importance of tho gal
lery, and experts In high-class work
get as much aa $75, or nearly $1,000 a
year. It requires years of experience,
and probably tho development of a
specialty, for an operator to command
$75 a week.
It will require much attention and
practlso to becomo a successful oper
ator. Suppose your boy is employed
In n scientific Institution, such as a
mimcum. Ho may bo asked to riako
n largo picture of a skoloton, shoving
even tho finest of linos In the Individ
ual bones, with nil their perfection of
detail, and yet ho has to make tho
exposure In a poorly lighted room,
with shadows and background all
askew. It Is up to him to know Just
what background to use, how to placo
various reflectors so as to glvo tho
right shadows, and tho exact exposure
required In tho uncertain light to
mako lita negntlvo exactly right tho
first time. If ho failed, It might mean
n waste of as much ns $20 or moro
In mnterlnl. Ho must know this In
stinctively nnd through his experience.
Or ho might bo sent to n cathedral to
mako a. picture of nn nltnr. Obviously
tho altar cannot be moved Into a bet

ter light. Ho must know Just tho lens,
tho proper pnper and tho oxposuro to
bring the perfect result required. How
many amateurs could do tills?
After attaining high skill ns an op
erator, your boy will either get n po
sition ns head of a large corps of pho
tographers employed by tho govern
ment or somo public institution or a
firm thnt makes a specialty of somo
pnrflculnr phaso of photography .or n
museum or other scientific institution,
where he may earn a largo salary; or
elso ho will go into business for him
self. in tho latter caso thcro Is no end
of opportunities; for photographs of
every conceivable thing under tho sun,
from portraits to X-ray pictures In
hospitals, arc In universal demand;
also thoro Is Independent work to bo
dono in photo-engraving, electroplat
ing, lithographing and other lines of
mechanical photo-reproduction. Pho
tographers havo grown rich in con
ducting galleries for portrnit work
alone. Thcro aro persons who aro will
ing to pay as much as $5 to $10 apleco
for their portraits, and tho profits aro
very large.

GREATEST OF LEGAL ORATORS
Proud Position That Has Been
corded to William Plnkney
of Maryland.
Ac-
But by Ions odds tho greatest of our
purely legal orators was William
Plnknoy of Maryland. His speeches
wcro the beacon lights that directed
tho footsteps of tho Supremo court
of tho United States in tho formative
period of our government.
Tho great argument in tho Nercldo
prlzo law caso Is steeped in n richer
rhetoric than almost any othor of his
speeches. 'Tho bold figure of Her
cules crushing tho Nemeun lion has
been rcforrod to as ono of the sub
llmest In our oratory.
Seldom has any man been so abund
antly equipped for tho highest dis
plays of eloquence, and this, too, was
largely the result of his later studios.
When sent as an ambassador to Eng
land bo was asked at table ono day
for his opinion on a certain Greek
phrase being dlpcussed at tho tlmo,
and was Ineffably mortified and hu
miliated to confess that ho know noth
ing of the subject under discussion.
Then and thcro was born in him tho
determination to bo n classical schol
ar, and bending himself to tho task
ho becamo in a fow years highly pro
ficient not alono in the ancient but in
tho modern classics as well. His
mind becamo a reservoir of judicial
and literary learning and ills speeches
begnn to bear thu indefinable impress
of hiuntal superiority.
His eloquence satisfied tho Intellect
ns well as tho lovo 'of ornament. No
vocabulary over surpassed his in full
and rounded excellence. Poetic to a
raro degree, yet governed withal by
an almost perfect taste, ho clothed his
largo philosophy in tho sheen of such
a golden stylo as mado It seem qulto
a matter of course that Story and
Marshall should pronounce him "in
comparable" and that he should bo
tho "boast of Maryland and tho prldo
of tho United States." It is not too
much to say that had all of his
speeches before tho Supremo court
and elsewhero been preserved ho
would have been universally esteemed
tho greatest of legal orators In tho
whole world. Ho wns greater than
Isaeus or Lyslas because his vlow was
broader and moro philosophical and
his powers of expression by far moro
poetical captivating and persuasive.
What the Boys Thought.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh of Phila
delphia tells this story on a prom
inent educator who ono day visited
one of the elementary schools.
"Tho teacher asked him If ho
wlshol to ray a word or two," said
Dr. Brumbaugh, 'and ho did. He de
cided to lllustrato a point ho wns
making by a problem in long division,
tho intricacies of which tho class had
just mastered. Ho put down tho nec
essary figures and then said:
" 'Now, let us seo how many times
this number will go into tho other.
Lot us try six, Ho tried six, and, ns
ho Intended, six wouldn't do. 'Well,
lot's try live, then,' ho said. Flvci-was
all right, and ho went ahead with his
talk.
"On his way homo that ovonlng ho
overhenrd two small boys with book
bacs under their n.rms and heard this
conversation:
" 'Say, Bill, did u loiig-whlskorcd.
bald-headed old feller come Into your
room today?'
"'Yep,' replied Bill.
"'And did ho talk to you?'
"'Yep.' said Hill.
" 'Well, so ho did to us, but tho fun
niest thing, by golly, was that tho old
chump stumpod hlmsolf on an exam
ple in long division.' "
Contrary to Public Policy.

CONGRESS GETS
IIMSSAGE
Brief Document is Transmitted to
Country's Lawmakers.
IS ALL ABOUT RECIPROCITY
President Tells of Nofjotlatlons Lead
ing to the Canndlnr Agreement,
and Asks Early Action Con
firming the Pact.
Washington, April G. President
Taft's messago to tho C2nd congress
in extraordinary bcsbIou was trana
inlttcd to both branches of congress
today. Tho meosago In full was as
follows:
To tho senate and houso of repre
sentatives: I transmitted to tho sixty-first
congress on January Cth, last,
tho text or tho reciprocity trade
agreement which had been negotiated
under my direction by tho secretary
of stato with tho representatives of
tho Dominion of Canada. This agree
ment was tho consummation of oar
nest efforts extending over a period
of nearly a year, on tho part of both
governments to effect a trndo ar
rangement which, supplementing as
it did tho amicablo settlement of vari
ous questions of a diplomatic and po
litical character that had been
reached, would mutually promoto
commerce and would strengthen tho
friendly relations now existing.
Tho agreement in its intent and in
its terms was purely economic and
commercial. While tho genoral sub
ject was under discussion by tho com
missioners, I felt nssured that tho
sentiment of tho peoplo of the United
States was such that thoy would wel
come a measuro which would result
in tho increase of trndo on both sldea
of tho boundary line, would open up
tho reserve productive resources of
Canada to tho great mass of our own
consumers on advantageous condi
tions nnd at tho same time offer a
broader outlet for tho excess products
of our farms and many of our Indus
tries. Delulld regarding a negotiation
of this kind necessarily could not
be made public while tho conferences
wero ponding. Hovover, tho full text
of tho agreement with tho accom
panying correspondence and data ex
plaining both its purpose and Its
Gcopo becamo Known to tho people
through tho messago transmitted to
congress.
Approved by the People.
It wns immedlntely .apparent that
tho ripened fruits of tho careful labora
of tho commissioners met with wide
spread approval. This approval has
been strengthened by further consid
eration of the terms of tho agreement
in all their particulars. Tho volume
of support which has developed shows
that Its broadly national scope Is
fully appreciated and is responsive to
tho popular will.
Tho house of representatives of tho
Sixty-first congress, after tho full text
of the arrangement with all tho do
tails in regard to the different provi
sions had been before It, aa they were
beforo the American people, passed
tho bill confirming tho agreement as
negotiated and ns transmitted to con
gress. This measure failed of action
in tho senate. In my transmitting
messago of tho 2Cth of January, I fully
set forth tho character of tho agree
ment nnd emphasized its appropriate
ness and necessity as a sosponso to
tho mutual needs of tho peoplo of tho
two countries, ns well as its commoa
advantages. I now lay that message
and tho reciprocal trade agreement,
as Integrally a part of tho present
message, beforo the Sixty-second con
gress and ngaln Invite earnest atten
tion to tho considerations therein ex
pressed. Early Action le Urged.
I nm constrained in deferenco to
popular sentiment and with a realiz
ing sense of my duty to tho great
masses of our people whoso welfare is
Involved, to urge upon your considera
tion early action on this ngreoment.
In concluding the negotiations the
representatives that tho two coun
tries bound themselves to use their
utmost efforts to bring about tho tar
iff changes provided for in tho agree
ment, by concurront legislation at
Washington nnd Ottawa. I havo felt
It my duty, therefore, not to ac
quiesce in relegation of action until
tho oponlng of tho congross in De
comber, but to use my constitutional
prerogative and convoko tho Sixty
second congross In extra session in
order thnt thcro shall bo no break of
continuity In considering and acting
upon this most important subject.

A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his oxporlonco, as follows:
"I becamo satisfied' somo months
ago that I owed tho palpitation of the
heart from which I Buffered almost
dally, to tho uso of coffee, (I had been
a coffeo drinkor for 30 years) but I
found it very hard to givo up tho bev
orago. "One day I ran across a very sen
Bible and straightforward presenta
tion of tho claims of Postum, nnd
was so impressed thereby that I con
cluded to glvo it a trial.
"My experienco with it was unsat
isfactory till I learned how it ought
to bo proparod by thorough boiling
for not les3 than 15 or 20 mluutes.
After I learned that lesson thero was
no troublo.
"Postum proved to bo a most palat
ablo and satisfactory hot beverage,
and I havo usod it over elnco.
"Tho effect on ray health has been
most salutary. Tho heart palpitation
from which I used to suffer so much,
particularly after breakfast, has dis
appeared and I never havo a return ot
It except when I dlno or lunch away
from homo and drink tho old kind of
coffeo because Postum la not served.
I find that Postum cheers and Invig
