HER POINT OF VIEW.
After all was It not the little things
not pi-ihnps the costly tiiilcs, but the
small inexeiwlo dainty leiiiem
bi .ines that gave you almost tnoie
pleasuro than the big, glltteilng, splen
ellel gifts tliut dazzled your comprehen
sion and Immediately set you to won
dering how on earth you could ever
manage a suitable letuin?
Isn't It nice to give somebody come
thing once In vour life just beraust- at
this pnttlcular time you want to do so
nnd have the gift so thoioughly under
stood and the motive so delicately up
pieclated that the recipient does not
heuny off with a feeling or dismay to
get sonvthlnc for vou or treabino up
tho obligation for another Clulslmas,
instead realizing that this time and
ptobably this time only yi-u will thus
obscive the occasion and that It 11111
In 110 way be considered as establishing
a precedent?
Did you get a camera? If you didn't
you are probably unhappy for tho mul
titude of people vho wanted cameras
for Christmas stems to be considerably
on tho Increase. The dhaddiituge of
setting a cumera Is that after jou have
nad one for about a yeur and have fully
.'aught the amateur pliotogtaphicmanta
the camera you have never has exactly
tlie number of icquired fillls.
ou are morally peisuaded that
if you had 0110 a llttlo deep
l or a tilflo wider or one
Willi more sptocket wheels (do cameras
lime sprocket wheels?) and more slip
pery slides and n longer longed tripod
01 a larger crank or some other appur
tenance you could do work that might
take a prize In the Youth's Companion
or the Ladles' Homo Journal You al
ways nro Impressed with the conviction
that If only the camera weie Just what
It ought to be you could make just as
good photographs as Griffin or nny oth
er professional of the first class, Of
course vou don't ns It Is. Uven your
fondest friends must admit that. In
fact you have alienated most of your
fondest friends with these same photo
craMis. You have had a generous on-
ttiuslasm which linn run In the direc
tion of. tnkltifr our friends' hablcs.
Now it's a dlfllctilt matter cnotmh for a
professional with a sreat reputation for
Infallibility back of him to take nny
mother's baby In a hnlf satlsfnctory
manner to the mother, but the amateur
simply makes the whole nffnlr n Rhast
ly catltaturo and fche never forgives
him for the cros eyes or the squint,
to ay nothing of tlie club feet which
her offsptlnff appears to have acquired
In the achievement ot the well-tneanlne
friend.
This reminds mo ot an nmntour pho
toKraplier whose camera occasionally
played tricks on him and made some
astonishing results. Ho took n photo
graph ot a friend's baby one time and
the plate developed a freak, for the
child most unaccountably seemed to
have three legs. Naturally tliu filriid
Bhlp bus t ooled between the baby's
family and that of the entt prising
photographer.
The irrcat tiouble with the v.otk of
the amateur Is Its close nillicicueo to
cold fuels. If you have a wart on your
npe there Is the -watt In the photo
gtaph. If your face looks old In tcposo,
evety year and every wt Initio are por
trayed with fidelity, ith a few extra
thrown In for luck; your alph-llke
figure Is depleted us a type usually
found only In tho Georgia "cracker
woman. Your shoulders ore lopsided
and your hands are ns lilf? us hams In
tho amateur's photograph, nnd the art
ist, seems never to use the toft mantle
of chatlty and the 1 douching ptocess
In his enteiptlshiK efforts. But what
a good time he does have snnpplng ut
locks and ttoes whose surfaces are
adorned with liver pad lecommenda
tlons and endeavoring to palm the
mine us bits of crcnery along thp I!ou
levutd and near the new leservoir. And
he Keeps on Improving and improv
ing until ho really does take beautiful
out of door views, and If wise fi.vs
them up In the shape of blue mints.
Saucy Host,
DEFENSE IS BEING HEARD.
Impeachment Proceedings Resumed
Before Commissioner Carpenter.
The defense In the Kelly Impeach
ment case began Its picseiitatlon of tes-
tlniouv, yesterday, befote Commission
er J. W. Carpenter. The first move
was to attack the ct edibility of the
prosecutor. C. M. DeLong. Mr. De
Long stated on the witness stand that
he bt ought the ptosecutlon solely nt
the Folic Uatlou of the peisons whose
nanus appealed on the petition and
that he was In no wise prompted by
malice or anything excepting a wls-h to
solve- the public good.
Martin Stiine, eme ot the petitloneis,
admitted that he signed the petition
at the solicitation of Mr. DeLong and
that all he knew of Kelly's alleged mal
feasance was whnt was told him bv
Mr. DeLong. JU- aim admitted that he
told Attorney John P. Kelly, on the
previous day. that he never signed the
petition at all, but this was a -wtonjr
admission he now sajs. He wasn't
under o.tth, he remarked, when he was
talking to Mr. Kelly.
John and George Uenore. two other
slgncis stated they could not recollect
just what led them to sign the petition.
It was their impression that Mr. De
Long told thorn Alderman Kelly was
guilty of a lot of wrong-doing and that
they signed the petition feeling that If
Kelly was as black as painted he ought
to be impeached.
John H. Short said lie signed thp
petition nt Mr. Do Long's solicitation.
Ho Vnew nothing of Kelly except what
DeLong told him. He afterwards tried
to Juno liis name sttlcketi fiom the
petition.
Levi Getz bald lie also signed It 011
tlie strength of lepresciitatlons mndu
bv Mi. De Long.
This was the extent of the testimony
for the fii-kl Cay. Tlie next msIoh will
be held Ftiday.

William, James and Michael Carr,
brothers, living In a hovel at 1111 Stone
oenue, were arraigned before Alder
man Lentes last night, charged with
amault and battery, tobbery ami at
tempting to kill. Joseph Hahn. an obi
limn, lesldlng at C1G Klin stieet, was
the piosecutor.
The facts of the outrage upon the old
man, as told by hltn, aie ns follows:
Christmas night he was en toute to his
home about 10.30 o'clock. At the stone
bridge spanning the stieam near the
lesldcnce of P. W. (lallngJicr, on Stone
avenue, William Can- ucroti'd him,
shook his hand and wished him the
compliments of the season.
He Invited tho old man
puny him to his home, a few
o pat take of some beer.
to accom
lods away,
claim declined, but Carr would not
listen to his refusal and finally, after
much hesitancy, he went with him.
Fpnn eilteilng the dilapidated house,
he saw the other two biotheis await
ing him. In the loom was a bed of
Htr.nv. and a lantein, a chali, and an
old table.
SLID Titrc HOLT.
One of the trio slid the bolt of the
door, and then the brutes pounced upon
the old man. They beat him teirlbly,
took his gold wntrh, went thiough his
pockets and, not finding nny money,
they kicked him In the face and head.
Mr. Hahn begged for mercy, but his
pleadings weie In vain. He then
screamed and shouted for help. A -woman
living next door heatd his cries,
but she was afraid to enter. She gave
the alatm, nnd In a Cow moments a
force of men was foimed of about ton.
They lunst the door open unci found
the Cans, with the old man In their
grasp and about to tlnow him Into the
cellar, some twelve feet below. The
desperate tilo fought their way thiough
the crowd and escaped. Mr. Hahn was
taken to his home and given modlcul
attention.
Tuesday night he went in a carriage
before Aldeinian Lentes and gave tlie
lnfoimatloii for the issuing of wnnaiits
for their arrest.
The watt.uits weie placed In the
hands of Lieutenant Hang. He watched
the homo of the Cairs every night, re
maining close to It In a secluded speit.
They did not tetiirn since 1'hiistmus
night until about J o'clock yesterday
morning-. They came separately, fol
lowing each other at shoit Intervals,
Lieutenant Zang, seeing the last one
enter, huiiledly dispatched a message
for Patiohueii Schmidt, Snitor, Fla
heity, Cieschetdle and Haggerty. The
lieutenant and Patrolman Haggerty
approached the tear door, while the
other olllceis guaided tho flout.
mtOTIlFItS WKIIK ASLKFP.
Patrolman Haggetty pushed In the
door, and found the bt others lying
asleep on their straw bed. They awoke,
quickly, jumped up and pulling their
guns, commanded the olllcers to make
way lor them. A shot from Lieuten

nnd James suirendeied quietly, but
William made a desperate effoit to os-cope-.
A heavy tlght-hunder fiom

the force felled him, and the three
were then tendily handcuffed.
At the heurlng lust night Mr. Hahn
lepealeel the statements as given above
icgaidlng the outrage. The neighbors1
und men who leseued him corroborated
him as far as they saw the alTali.
In race of the evldenco the- Carrs

nocent. The alderman promptly held
them In $1,000 ball each. Commitments
for their Incaireratlon In the eountv
