Text Appearing Before Image:
f the last twenty years, andhas a great fund of unusual anecdotesabout them. When he begins to tellstories of Whitman and Beecher, of WilliamHunt and Richardson, of Amelie Rivesand Duse, it is only an unusually dull andpreoccupied mood which will prevent onefrom becoming interested. The quaintand original expressions; the unconven- tional opinions; the odd personal observa-tions; the contempt for shams, surprise andarouse the subject. Before he is aware he,too, is talking animatedly. Mr. Cox tellswith appreciation how Bishop Taylor, thegreat African missionary, came to himonce to be photographed. He was forsome time indifferent and dull, not under-standing at all what the artist was after,but finally thawed out, and Mr. Cox caughtone of his best portraits just as the agedBishop finished telling with great gustothe story of a young man coming to theship to see him off on a recent voyage.

G. C. Cox, Photographer. BISHOP TAYLOR. 4 No, said the Bishop, you may bedead when I get back. It is not only the habitual mask of a facewhich must be conquered.

In taking photographs Mr. Cox aims tomake as many as six negatives. A com-plete series of his pictures runs
