He s one of the hardest men to photograph satisfactorily that I've ever tackled, and, as I'm distinctly & celebrity phiotographer, traveling the world over in search of proper subjects, that's saying a tdent is a bad subject for the simple reason that he doesn’t seem to be able to keep still twenty consecutive s ends.

My sppointment was for 10 o'clock and sharply at that hour I was ushered into the president’s presence and was grected with the cheery remar “ ‘Delighted to see you; and I'll promise to keep still for you, so we'll get through quickly, for I've much to do today.’ “As 1 put the camera together he recalled several previous times when I had photo- graphed him and he bad worried me half sick by his constant wrigglings. When I Began posing him he again said earnestly! Yes, I'll keep still for you this time, sure.’ “DIQ he?" The celebrity chaser glanced scornfully at his questioner. ‘“Say, I dare- say he tried his best, but he kept me two hours, and out of the twenty exposures T made I got only two decent negatives.” Admiral Dewey Shy. “Then there's Admiral De | of plctures continued. “The admiral's right, ouly he's as shy as a week-old bride, ‘Who has come to be taken in her wedding @own. From the fact that be persists in getting himself into ball shape when before the camers, I take it that he wants to be in { @vidence in & photograph as little as possi- Ble. I sald to him once, after he bad “‘Admiral, If you don't keep straight, I'll have to prop you up.’ “‘All right, he said, meekly, ‘but just now I feel as it T need an entirely different sort of a strengthener.’ “I'm not saying whether or mot the ad- miral got what he thought he needed, but I did finally succeed in getting a splendid negative, and to date I've made over $5,000 selling copies of it throughout the country. It's astonishing how well the photographs of celebrites sell. The demand for them is constant, even though they vary from $1 to $5 aplece. And, queer thing, the Buropeans are steady buyers of likenesses of America’s big men. Only the other day I got an order from a St. Petersburg pho- tographer for copies of my negatives of President Roosevelt, several mbmbers of his cabinet and our leading army and navy officer: A Strenuous Time with Count Cassini. “And that reminds me of the time that 1 invaded the Russian embassy at Wash- ington in order to get Count Cassini to t for me. The count sat quietly enough after he had asked advice of the young countess, his secretaries, the military and naval attaches and who not around the legation. Everyone had a different sug- gestion to make, and, would you belleve it, the count actually changed his clothing four times in an effort to sult himself and the host that he had called in to give ad- vice! I daresay that he'd be changing clothes yot if the countess hadnt finally shoved him into the chair and sald: “Now, sit there—do—to please me." “And the count mopped the perspiration from his brow, smiled sweetly into the camera, and it was all over in a second after & two-hours' fuss that had upset the legation from cellar to garret. A Prince Henry Anecdote. “Prince Henry? I should say I have— about 500 tim: 1 have no hestitation in saylng that he Is the most photographed man of his day, and the prince also feels sure of this distinction, judging from the conversation that, I had with him while the special train was coming east, for I was on the traln during the entire trip. “It was after the prince’s experience in Chicago, where every man, woman and child in sight seemed to have a camera, where the prince litefally had to make his way at all times through & veritable lane of black-boxed, clicking instrumeats. The prince walked up to me and said “‘How many times do you think that you've photographed me? “‘On a rough guess, I should say 500, 1 replied. *“The prince pulled out a note book and busied himself writing something for & few minutes. Then he turned to me and sald, and there was much wearness in his voice “ ‘Using your figures and my Chicago experience starting point, I've hastily caluculated that, since I've been in Amier- ica I've had 4,600,015 camerms pointed at me, with a grand total of somewhere be- tween 10,000,000 and 15,000,000 photographs taken.

AIDS CHILDREN TO DEVELOP TASTE Miss Tobitt Explains the Aim and Method of the Scheme that is In the children’s department of the elty Itbrary Miss Tobitt and her assistants, es- pecially Miss Alice Egbert, the children's librarian, and her co-worker, Miss Kate Swartzlander, have been this winter try- ing the “story-telling hour” for the im. provement of the children who frequent the | library, and feel that they are meeting with success. The idea is not new and in some cities has been worked out to a degree and scope far In advance of that at- tempted here. Nothing of the kind has been in the Omaka library before this sea- son. The present work is to some extent experimental and will be 8o until the sum- mer puts an end to the talks; then next fall, with the knowledge gained, work can be taken up systematically. The idea of the story telling is to in- terest the little folks in meritorious books on various subjects. After listening to a talk on some subject they are sure to show interest in regard to one or another phase of the topic and the children’s librarian can thus supply them with good books which they llke and in reading which a taste for standard works is formed. Toples Already Covered. The first ‘of these story tellings came late in the autumn and dealt with glants; some of these being real glants—steam and electricity—and others the ficticlous mon- sters of the falry tales. Next, shortly be- fore Christmas, came “The Story of the Other Wise Man,” and other Christmas stories. The third of the series was a talk on birds, during which the speaker imitated the calls of the flylng creatures and told of their interesting habits. Last Friday was devoted (o the little children, and Kate Douglas Wiggin and other writ- ers of stories for small people were drawn on. Two weeks later there will come a talk on shells, illustrated by the shells from the museum. At the first two story bours forty children were present, but at the third and later meetings about ninety heard the stories. The children have evinced an Interest by repeated questions as to the time for the next meetjng. The sub- ject and time of the story telling is made known by tickets which are given out to the children coming (o the reading rooms during several days preceding the meeting. These are held in the afternoons shortly after the closing of school. The stories so far have been told by patrons of the library who have been interested fa the work and others bave volunteered their services. How the Plan Works. “Our aim,” said Miss Tobitt, the librar- fan, “is to gradually bring to thewttention of the children the best class of literature and also to introduce to them objects of ia- perhaps the best in the transmississippi country. We intend to briog these down to the children’s room where the small people can look at and handle them while they are being talked about. The poem of the ‘Nautilus' will probably be recited, and we have here a good specimen,” which is cut away so that it chambers can be seen. In Brooklyn and some cther cities they have children's museums and story telling ooms, and even compact circulating col- lections, which are sent about to the pub- lc and parochial schools. We can under- take nothing so elaborate, but will still be able to teach much In regard to these things and cause a healthy interest in the museum. I often think that children form a distaste for Dickens and Scott because they try to read these books before they can understand them. We hope by our torfes to prepare for such reading. “It is our intention to have these story telling hours on alternate Fridays until summer, or such time as the attendance shall fall off enough to show a loss of in- terest. In some places the subject is con- tinued from week to week and, say, the Norse tales or other chqjce bits of litera- { ture continued through the winter. We have made of each meeting a complete subject, not knowing whether we would bave the same children in attendance on consecutive days. We hope some time to have alternate classes each Friday, having different subjects. In this way we might, say, devote every other meeting to the history of Evngland, giving the intervening hours to other tople QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE. Judge McEwen of Chicago had recent) pronounce sentence in a most novel way.

In order to tell him what he was to expect as & result of his oonviction for manslaughter & pleture of & man behind the bars was ehown to him, then by means of a calendar and many signs the knowledge was conveyed to him that he would be behind the bars for four- teen years.

For good meas- ure Erickson also was allowed to pay the costs. Florence Richardson, 14 years old, was the complainant.

When you see roses in bloom In the gardens in January it is hard to realize it is winter. I have a bunch of La France roses at my elbow, by the open window, plucked /directly from the bush this morning. San Antonfo has been often described Its quaint architecture, its narrow streets, the prevalence of Mexicans, tho adobo buildings scattered here and there pro- sent the appearance of a forelgn city. The city of over 60,000 inhabitants 1s growing, many large four and five-story buildings being in course of construction. Yesterday the new depot of the Southern Pacific rallroad was opened with sppropri- ate ceremonies. A banquet was spread in the waiting room, at which were present the officials of the road, representatives of the business men’s club and General Fred Grant and his staff from Fort S8am Houston.

Prices are double what they were three years ago A run down to Galveston enabled us to see some of the effects of the great storm of nearly three years ago. Where the greatest destruction was, however, the ground was swept bare and left a barren plain, so that no evidence remains.

It will be an event of great interest and afford infinite pleasure to the visitors. H. C. VAN GIESON.
