Taking His Photograph

Mr. Brown's most striking peculiarity is his objection to being photographed. Mr. B. had never been taken and vowed he never would. Mrs. B. wanted his picture. Her coaxing him to visit the photographer, met with a flat refusal. Her frank expressions concerning the absurdity of his attitude brought about a lively family discussion that resulted in her expressed determination to have him photographed by fair means or foul. Mr. B. with some heat accepted the defy and went Mrs. Brown one better by offering to stake a new bonnet she would not get "it." As a first trial she hired Levy, a tent photographer, who enters with zest into the game of stealing Brown's face. Friendly hands volunteer to place Brown in position. Just as success seems assured Brown realizes his position and his energetic efforts in getting away almost ruined Levy's stands and canvas. A friend suggested her buying a Kodak as a possible means towards her end. In doing this, her efforts at amateur photography only succeed in spelling disaster to everybody and everything that happened in Brown's way of escape. Almost discouraged, Mrs. Brown was informed by a girl friend that a safe and sure way would be to have her husband arrested for crime and that the Police Department in its usual routine would get his picture. Although somewhat doubtful as to results, Mrs. B. enters into a plot against her husband. He is arrested charged with stealing the watch of his wife's friend. After being duly photographed by the department he is brought up for examination. On resisting in the court room, he is removed as a dangerous character. The plotters, thinking the joke has reached a high-water mark, disclose the circumstances to the judge, who appreciating the joke, releases the prisoner, gives Mrs. Brown an order for the precious pictures but still wonders at the ways of woman. Decidedly Mrs. B. won her hat.
