IN LEAGUE WITH. OLD NICK
That's How Unsophisticated Classify
Thurston the Magician
In tho dark ages a magician was
supposed to be In league' with the devil
nnd to be endowed with supernatural
powers. That tho belief still persists Is
the conviction of Thurston, the magi
cian, who 1b entertaining at tho Garrtck
Theatre. "I might as' well be a. freak
from a dlmo museum," Bas Thurston.
"Everywhere I go people staro nt mo as
If I were something uncanny."
As nn Instance, of this populnr super
stition, Thurston tells tho following
story: "It Is moro dimcult than you
would Imagine to get rabbits, which are
a part of the stock In trado for every
magician. Tho little creatures .aro not
very hardy, and traveling seems to uso
them up. Recently In Milwaukee I ran
out of rabbits. I searched the entire city
and finally discovered in tho outskirts
nn old German who kept rabbits as pets,
I went personally to see him. After a
long argument ho reluctantly consented
lo lpt mo have a pair. To show my ap
preciation I offered him n pass to tho
theatre, telling him that I was a ma
gician. "Tho old man looked at me nnd his
Jaws dropped 'And so you Intend to
uso my rabbits In your devil worki?' he
demanded. I smiled and admitted that
to bo the case. """
"Here you give them back to me?"
he cried, and snatched tho rabbits from
my hands. Nothing would persuade
him to surrender IiIb pets to ono who
was In leaguo with Satan."
