THE TWO THIEVES
I**lie M. Shaw, ex-secretary of
the treasury, was discussing the fate
of a corrupt capitalist whom the
i.anic compelled to con ft a*.
"The man reminded me," said
Mr. Shaw, "of a Vermont thief who
broke into a Knrristown house in
my boyhood. This thief, prowling
about in the dark parlor, fell over 1
a chair and broke his leg, and had
to arouse the family to call a do. tor.
"The capitalist's feelings, l>ef.)re
confusion, must have nsterubled i
thoee of the thief, lying disabled ml
th* dark, befoN lit divided to ctU j
Uie family up."
MODEL PRINCE CHARMING.
Strah Bernhardt'* impersonation
of 17-year-old Prince Charming in
"The Sleeping Beauty" is one of
the moat remarkable triumphs of
her great career. With the subtlest
air and grace she conveyed a per-
fect illusion of youthfulness. and for
once Prince Charming in all re-
spects justified the name. For three
hours sh.- was on the stage, domi-
ntting the whole performance and
affording an astonishing demonstra-
tion not only of the absoluti perfec-
tion of her jiowers. but of the won-
derful fa* ination of her personal-
ity. Everyone agrees that Sarah
never more merited the title "di-
vine" than she do.>s now.—From a
Paris letter.
