Officers for the coming year for the state association of photographers are: President, R. C. Nelson, Hastings; firist vice-president. W. S. Soper. Ne braska City; second vice-president W. A. Thorn.

But. afraid of legal quibbles, he was chary of his scribbles, and he never penned an answer to a tender billet doux. For. he reasoned very errmrtly. letters figured more than partly as exhibits when the lady had made up her tnlnd to sue. As he read of Jim or Thomas being sued for breach of promise he would cachlnat and chuckle in the lining of his sleeve. Saying that each Miss or Madam, since the early times of Adam, was a sub-, tie reproduction of her crafty moth er Eve. Well, he met Miss Uzzle Tlmmnn who was strong for rights called wo men's and who had some clever no tions as to how folks should make love. , And she kept him oft repeating tales of how his heart was beating for her always and his fondness was as true as stars above. Then, at last she hired a lawyer named I.ycurgus Moses Sawyer to recover such finances aa would give, her heart Its bejas. He Just snjekcred at the Jury while her lawyer spoke with fury of the times that he had wooed her underneath the shelt'ring palm. "O." he cried, "produce a letter, for yon see I'm a forgetter" then a sudden consternation stopped him as ho tried to laugh. For each word of all his wooing rippled forth to his undoing from the disk that Lizzie Tlmmons put upon a phonograph! The Modern Lochlnvar. Young Loch invar sailed in out of the west in his new biplane. He swooped down to the castle gate and whistled shrilly. The idol of his affections tripped merrily forth, pursued by her father and several invited guests. She seated herself in the machine. "One moment." said Young Lochin rar. "Wait until the newspaper pho tographers have taken a few snap shots." That ordeal over, he pulled the start ing lever and they were away. "I will not follow them." said her father to the reporters. "Tho match will not last long. She has him up in the air already." Returning to the banquet hall he or dered the butler to broach a few more magnums.

"Who do you suppose are the most envied women here to-day?" asks the gray-bearded philosopher, as we stroll through the vast assemblage. "The handsomest two," we venture. "Not at all. They are the one who paid the most for her dress and the one who got hers at the greatest re duction in price."
