SCARED THE ROBBERS. Odd Incident In England In the Eighteenth Century. Foe a time daring the eighteenth century In England there wae a loll In the robbery Industry owing to an odd v incident Shortly after the execution of go a"glla1' bandar "* nihtm | a curious communication purporting to bare boon written by him was put Into circulation. "Now, as I am a dying man.", ft ran, "I bare dons something which may be of good use to the public. I bare left with an booset man?the only, honest man I was ever acquainted with?the names of all my wicked brethren, the places of their abode, with a abort account of the - chief crimes they hare committed. In many of which I hare been the accomplice and heard the rest from their own mouths.

Of this 1 here give my companions fair and public warning and hope they will take It" It Is said the hint was so effectual that for a long time pickpockets and burglars In that part of England jrent into panic stricken retirement And, this being so, it Is just as well they did not know that the letter was a clever forgery, the work of _ "'tat prince of wits and humorists.

Tho tricks of the picture dealer? They are not to b? conoted. Hera la one that was played quite recently. A dealer ordered from an artist a tavern scene In the old Dutch style signed In the corner with a facsimile of Jao Bteen'a signature. When the sinohjr look of age had been given It the dealer eyed It with approval. "Splendid!" he said to the needy artist "It's a pity you shouldn't have the credit of It. Pray s'gn It with your own name. It may make you** reputation." The poor artist delighted, painted over the signature of Jan 8teen and sat his own name there. Three weeks later the picture started for New York, consigned to a Fifth avenue merchant of paintings. But by the same boat went an anonymous letter to the custom house officials warning them that an attempt was being made to smuggle in a chef d'oeuvre of the Dutch school worth $40,000. The picture was seized. Experts were called In. They scraped off the signature of the artist and found underneath that of Jan Steen. The Importer had to pay a fine of 50 per cent?that is, $20,000?and in | aarnuon *s,uuu aaty. Tnree days later, however, he s61d his Jan Steen (guaranteed by the United States government) for the round sum of $50,000. Thus he made a fair profit, for the original cost of the picture was $14?70 francs paid to the poor devil of an artist.?Broadway Magazine.

I mprovomont. One day during the rehearsals of "The Tempest/' which opens with a storm at sea, all the actors except Beerbohm Tree knew that a real storm was -raging outside the theater. Mr. Tree never knows anything at rehearsal time except that he wants to get the best possible out of his company. He was especially anxious that the opening 6cene should be rendered as true to nature as possible, and time after time he made the men whose duty it was to suggest to the audience the ungovernable fury of the elements repeat their efforts. Presently a blinding flash of lightning, followed by a deafening peal of thunder, swept through a narrow window above the scene dock and illuminated the stage. "That's better," announced Mr. Tree, "but I think it could be improved upon." "If you please, sir," observed the master carpenter, "that was a real one." Coughs that are tight, or distressing, tickling coughs, get quick and certain help from Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy. On this account druggists everywhere are favoring Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy. And it is entirely free from Upturn Chloroform, or any other stpefying drug. The tender leaves of a harmless lung-healing mountainous shrub give to Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy its curative properties. Those leaves nave the power to calm the most distressing cough, and to soothe and heal the most sesitive bronchial membrane. Mothers should, for safety's sake alone, always demand Dr. Shoop's. It can with perfect freedom be given to even the youngest babes. Test it once yourself, and see. Sold by Ladd's drug store. In the old days when the Spanish province of Asagon was a proud and Independent monarchy the people used when choosing their king the following singular form of election: MWe, the freeborn Inhabitants of the ancient kingdom- of Aragon, who are equal to you, Don Philip, and something more, elect yon to be oar king on condition that yon preserve to as oar rights and privileges. If In this you should fall we own yoa for oar i king no longer." r^mm*m?T Vj fTjitin inlfi^IjA nnt mi i*>nun . loan idea.
