mM When Booth Said the Lord's Prayer, i
m ?
T New York Evening Post: Many
rL years ago a number of foreign diplo- *
^ mats, three or four American states- (
men and two or threee stake profes- :
sionals were together in the smoking c
room of the old Fjfth Avenue hotel s
when Edwin Booth came in. They t
had conversation touching the Bible ^
as an inspired book. Lord Sackville. s
then British minister to this country,
asked Booth if he would not repeat f
the Lord's Prayer for them. James t
O'Neill was one of the professionals \
present and afterward gave an ac
count of the incident. Few people had s
toe temerity to niakt .such a icijiicsi
of Booth, he said, as it was unusual f

"His musical, solemn tones sounded s
,, slowly through the room, and as he s
i swayed his lithe body each one uncon- |
, ..ciously followed his motion, so per |
feet was the magnetic sympathy.
, "It was beautiful, fascinating, even |
terrible. Booth was literally kneeling ?

"Booth strode out of the room when g
J he had finished and .a simultaneous |

Valuable Advice. I
"A cat sits on my fence even* g
night and makes the night hideous s
with his infernal row. Now I don't tj
want to have any bother with mj |i
neighbor, but this nuisance ha gnr.e j
far enough, and I want you to advise s
me what to do."
The young lawyer looked as solemn 1!
as an owl and answered not a word. j \
"I have a right to shoot that eat, |
haven't I?" . |
"I would hardly say that replied ?
the young lawyer. "The cat does not |
belong to you. as I understand."
"No, but the fence does."
| "Ah!" exclaimed the light of the |
law, "then I think you have a perfect ?
rigfct to tear down the fence"?Lon- g

And the Cat Followed. ^
This cat story coming from Bloom- |
field, X. J., is worth reading. It may |
be true and it may not. Ca?s are |
peculiar animals to say the very S
least:
"Red, Bloomfield's champion torn- |
cat pedestrian, today curled up on a |
bag of bran and purred contentedly |
while Lawrence Blarney, his owner |
proprietor of a feed store, patiently ?
applied soothing salve to his paws. |
"Red's claws were down to the |
quick by a hike of 67 miles from a |
farm which Mr. Blarney sold a year |
ago. Thinking his pet cat would pre- ?
fer field mice to those of the feed |
store variety, Mr. Blarney left Red 011 |
the farm, but yesterday the exhaust- ?
ed feline succeeded in finding the new |
home of his master."
