Some Who Were Caught and Executed?A Case of Substitution. 1 111 olden days, indeed until the 'end of the Napoleonic era, ari robi beries on a grand scale were the i privilege of the mighty of this , earth and the adjunct of victorious ! warfare. This was so in the days J of ancient Koine, when shiploadfuls i of marbles and bronzes were transj planted from (Jreek to Italian soil, j and it was again when the first Napoleon pillaged the collections and I churches of Italy and Spain. Such I action, however, was considered the : conqueror's right and does not come within the scope of this article, which is to deal with petty theft and criminal appropriation of works of art. The first deed of this nature of which I have been able to trace the record occurred so far back as 1G01, when two heads were cut out of Wenceslaus Koeberger's "Martyrdom of St. Sebastian" in Antwerp cathedral. The fragment is said to be even now in an English private collection. But thd thieves were caught and speedily put to death. Other cases are on record of art thefts committed in the dim past, but in most cases they amount to a bare statement that such ntid such a picture or object disappeared at such and such a date and has never been heard of since. These records lack the flavor of romance which clings to those other cases in which the peregrinations of the thieves nn/1 r>C ctnion nrnnortv fan Itp .1 a.-; in that of the famous ilo at Seville cathedral, repre^^CThe Appearance of the lnto St.* Jnthony." e of ellington is said to navt spx'. uek by the beauty of this mast'' ?*?a canvas of imposing si? t he offered to cover the wh Ne with gold pieces if the chap tld sell it to him. However, tl )ter refused, and in Noveml '4, the figure of St. Anthon jut out of the picture by unknown hands, and the stolen frag -ent found its w**; to America, Ther distinct element oi humor in rcumstances that attended t ?fft of a portrait by Paris Boi V good many years ago from tlit -use of a wealthy collector in Vienna, who generally allowed the public access to his gallery when he was away from town. I The picture was one day cut out or I its frame and carried off. A reward of ?120 was immediately offered for its recovery, and descriptions of the stolen picture were sent to the diplomatic representatives of Austria abroad.* The result was that a stranger called at the collector's house and arranged to return the picture against payment of the promised reward if no further questions were asked. His terms were accepted, and on his producing the painting, which fitted exactly into the opening that had been cut out of the original canvas, the stranger was paid his promised reward. It was only some time afterward, when one of the collector's friends expressed doubt as to the authenticity of the Bordone, that/ the picture was found out to be a copy of the stolen masterpiece.?London Magazine. Tact. It is told of the youth of a young German prince many years ago that upon one occasion, his tutor having been changed, the newcomer in examining the young prince asked: "P"<in vnnr hicrVmpsq tpll me how much is nine times twelve?" "Seventj'-two," replied the prince, with roval promptness. The tutor paled, but soon recovered his equanimity. , "Permit me to state to your highness that your highness' former tutor, whom I have had the honor to succeed as an instructor to your royal highness, appears to have been a person of rather limited capabilities," he said. ? Harper's Weekly. Earthquake Carpenters. The term "earthquake carpenter" at first glance might give the impression of a person capable of do ing a JOL) in last lime, rcguianv shaking the work together. To some persons it might convey the idea of a man whose work was so poor that it was likely'to drop to pieces at any moment. Actually it is a Jamaican term and really means a man whose work is in wrecking, a man who takes apart the fallen houses and sc rts out the timbers.?New York Sun. Nothing Doing. "I've walked many miles to see you, sir/' began the tramp, "because people told me you was very kind to poor chaps like me." , "Indeed?" said the genial white Haired old man.
