Bellefonte, Pa., December 4, 1908, THE TWO ROMEOS. Mrs, Siddons’ Opinion of David Garrick and Spranger Barry. David Garrick and Spranger Barry swere both playing Romeo at the same time in London. Barry played it at Drury Lane on the Monday, and Gar- rick played it the next night at Covent Garden, and the town was divided as to which was the greater Romeo—in fact, there was quite a great excite. ment about it, and they acted it upon such different lines and with such mar- velously different conceptions that the people argued the case as to which Shakespeare Intended. The fact is that Shakespeare intended it to be acted well, and if one man’s temperament suited it best to act in that way it would do for another temperament the other way. So they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was the Juliet alternately with the same Romeo, which she considered better of the two, and she said: “It is difficult to say. They are both wonderfully great, but I will tell you how they impress me in the balcony scene. In the balcony scene Garrick seems so eager, so intense and so full of fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll jump up in the balcony to me, and Bar- ry is so lovable and fascinating that I'm afraid I shall have to jump down from the balcony to him.” The Relationship. “You say, madam.” said the bespec- tacled lawyer to the woman in the witness box, “that the defendant is a sort of relation of yours. Will you please explain what you mean by that —just how you are related to the de- fendant?” The witness beamed upon the court and replied: “Well, it's just like this. His first wife's cousin and my second busband’s first wife's aunt married brothers named Jones, and they were cousins to my mother’s aunt. Then, again, his grandfather on his mother’s =ide and my grandfather on my mother's side were second cousins, and his step- mother married my husband's step. father after his father and my mother died. and his brother Joe and my hus band's brother Harry married twin sisters. [I ain’t never figgered out just how close related we are, but I've al ways looked on 'im as a sort of cousin.” “Quite 80,” answered the lawyer. “Your explanations are perfectly satis- factory.” Forgetful. An eminent painter was once asked if he thought art students did well to go to Europe to study. He said that undoubtedly the atmosphere was more artistic in Europe than anywhere else, but that Paris as a city to study and work in was overrated. To illustrate his meaning he said that a certain rich man's son after three years in Paris wrote home to his fa- ther: “Dear Father—I have made up my mind to set to work. Please let me know at your earliest convenience whether it was painting, architecture -or music I came to Paris to study.” Humility. It is a curious fact of human nature ‘that humility draws forth from the world almost as much admiration as courage. As in the case of courage, it is almost impossible wholly to con- demn a character in which we see it, and without it the greatest virtues leave us cold. If every good word which the Pharisee said of himself were proved true we should still dis- like him® We even dislike his mod- ‘ern and far less offensive descendant, the prig.—London Spectator.

They Are About the Most Senseless of All Animals. A Colorado ranchman declares that no animal that walks is as big a fool as a sheep. “We have to watch them every min- ute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an instant the entire flock is likely to practically commit suicide. In han- dling most animals some degree of self help or intelligence can be relied on to ald the owner in saving their lives, but sheep seem to set deliberately to work to kill themselves. “If caught in a storm on the plains they will drift before the wind and die of cold and exposure rataer than move a hundred yards to windward to obtain shelter in their corral. To drive sheep against the wind is absolutely impossible. I once lost over 1,000 head because I could not drive them to a corral not 200 feet away. “In the corral they are still more foolish. If a storm comes up they all move ‘down wind’ until stopped by the fence. Then commences the proceed- ing so much dreaded by sheepmen known as ‘piling.’ The sheep will climb over each other's backs until they are heaped up ten feet high. Of course all those at the bottom are smothered. Not one has sense enough to seek shelter under the lee of the fence, as a horse or dog would do. “Again, if a sheep gets into a quick- sand its fate teaches nothing to those that come immediately after, but the whole flock will follow its leader to destruction. No more exasperatingly stupid animal than a sheep walks."— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A CHINESE STORY. The Noted Liar Who Had a Fairly Competent Spouse. A noted llar once toll a friend that he had at home three precious things— a bullock which could run 500 miles a day, a fowl which crowed at the begin- ning of each watch, day and night, and a dog that could read books. The friend intimated that he would lose no time in seeing these marveis with his own eyes. The man did not expect this, as his house was somewhat distant, so he went home and told his wife that he had got caught at last and that tomor- row the man would arrive and he would be disgraced. “Never mind,” said the spouse. “Leave that to me. It will be all right, only you must keep out of sight.” Next morning the visitor arrived and, being met by the mistress, asked where her husband was. “He has gone to Pekin,” she replied. “When will he be back?” “In eight or nine days.” “Why, how can he be so quick?” “He has gone off on our fast bullock and so can do it easily.” “1 hear you have also a wonderful fowl,” said the visitor. And, behold, as he was speaking a small cock crew. “That's it.” ‘said the wife. “He crows at the beginning of each watch and also when a visitor arrives.” “I would also like to see the learned dog,” he said. “Ah.” said she, “I am sorry; but, you see, we are very poor, and so he keeps a school in the city.”"—Scrap Book. Left Him In Doubt. A certain young artist in New York who is on terms of comparative inti- macy with the janitor of the apart- ment house wherein he maintains his studio is in some doubt whether the said janitor is a cynic or something of an art critic, or both, “One day while doing a bit of repair work in the studio,” says the painter. “Mike scrutinized a bit of my work with ominous solemnity. When I indi- cated a portrait of myself the blow fell. Said I: “ “The paint on this is badly cracked, which spoils the likeness.’ “With vo more expression in his countenance than is to be seen in the face of a representative of Buddha Mike replied: “Not at all, sir.'” Training Canaries. In the canary breeding establish- ments of Germany only the male birds are valued, because the females never sing. The method of training the birds to sing is to put them in a room where there is an automatic whistle, which they all strive to imitate. The breeder listens to the efforts of the birds and picks out the most apt pupils, which are then placed in another room for further instruction. These are the best singers and ultimately fetch high prices. Jaded. The Lady—Little boy, don’t you know smoking will shorten your life? The Kid—-Shucks! Wot do 1 care?
