AN UNSOCIABLE LOT.
What Mr. Themaa Thought of the
Crowd In New York.
Mr. Thomas crammed a fresh stick
of birch into bis little store and closed
the door -which John Arnold had left
ajar1 on his entrance. The tiny shoe
shop thus became air tight Then the
proprietor replied to John's question
of what he thought of New York.
"I can tell ye in 'mazing few words"
he said. "It's considerable of a place.
Lots dolnsr an' sDlendld blir buildinirs
an' schools an' churches an' all that !
They think they're some punkins too.
An' I ain't saying that there ain't
plenty of real smart ones there. Spite
of all that though. I call "em kind o'
ignorant besides being cold In their
manners.'.'' 4 j
"I want to know!" commented John '
visibly impressed by this recitaL j
"I'll tell ye" continued Mr. Thomas.
"Brother Tom's boy's office is down'
near the big Brooklyn bridge and I
used to go down there and set a good '
deal while my wife visited wlthbls
wife up in Ilarlem.
"When it come what they call rush
hour I used to go down an stand on
the bridge an' watch 'em passing by
hundreds of 'em on their way home
an' I got to feel real friendly an' to
know lots of 'em by sight But"
Mr. Thomas paused impressively
"but although I didn't miss an aft'-
noon whilst I was there an' that was
two weeks nary one o' them men ever
give me a single glance of recognition.
"It wa'n't my place to speak first me
being a stranger an they home so to
speak. I wa'n't going to push myself;
but I tell ye what John two or three
times I had to hold on 'to myself to
keep from telling of 'em just what I
thought of such onfrlendly ways.
"'Why' says I to Brother Tom'a
boy 'how long do you s'pose one o'
them would be at Tunkett Corners be-
fore we knew him well enough to nod
to an' found out his name? "Youth's

Tongue Charms
The tongues of animals have been
and are still in some parts of the
world favorite amulets. A tonsrue cut
from a living fox is said to ward off
disease of all kinds but as the person
carrying one will surely die if he hap-
pens to meet a fox at any crossroads 1
the charm is seldom used. The tongue.;
of the vulture plucked out with iron !
and hung about a man's neck in a new j
cloth will bring . him what he desires.
and some East Indians believe that if
they do not bite off the tip of the
tongue of any wild animal they kill
they will not have good luck in hunt-
ing. London Tit-Bits.

Count Bozenta watching by her bed-

as a woman has inspired as much ad
miration as has been evoked by her
artistic genius. Her work as an in
terpreter of the highest type of dra
matic roles hall by no means been for
gotten though It Is now some years
since the appearance of her name on
playbills was a regularly recurring fea-
ture of the theatrical season. Devotees
of the Shakespearean drama look back
at her performances of roles created
by the Immortal Bard of Avon with
mingled pleasure and regret pleasure
Inspired by remembrance of her de
lightful art regret that her day Is
past that fcwnre worthv to succeed
to her laurels and that vaudeville and
Salome dances now so largely occupy
public attention to the exclusion of the
higher typo of dramatic performance
which she represented so well. Mme.
.Modjeska's art was one with which It
would be impossible to associate sug
gestions of coarseness or vulgarity.
Her dramatic portrayals were perfec-
tions of their kind; the women of his-
tory or histrionic fiction were in gen-
eral those whom St w'as a nernetunl
delight to know. Softness delicacv
and an intellectual charm impossible
to describe were the characteristics of
her acting which had. however a force

McCracken was using an alcohol lamp

her excitement Miss McCracken en

of her tender and susceptible-fiber.
Mme. Modjeska was born near Cra-
Poland in 1S44. and In lSlil made
her first public appearance on the
stage. In .1SGS she married Count
Charles Bonzz Bozenta Chlapowski.
Her experiences were most romantic
ever after that eventful day when her
titled husband and tshe wore driven
from Poland by the persecutions of
the Russian government. Thirty vcars
ago they were instrumental In form
ing the Polish colony at Ardcn. at tho
foot of the great Sierras almost with-
in sight of the Pacific and it was the
business reverses met at that time that
led up to Mme. Modjeska's American
debut on the professional stage. This
took place in August. 1879. and her
success was instantaneous. Her urn-
clous personality high alms and skill
ful and forceful interpretations of
classical roles long exercised a most
uplifting Influence upon the plnygolug
public. Her greatest successes were
gained In Shakesperean plays espe
cially in "Macbeth." This and "Marie
Stuart" were perhaps her most pop-
ular plays.
