A WilRO RELIC.
Biatory of the Shall l"ed by Kdwla
Boot at In ".Hamlet."
On a bracket In Edwin Booth's bed
room at The Players the apartment
remains as he left It that solemn April
day ten years ago stands a sadly di
lapidated skull which the elder Booth,
and afterward hie son Kdwtn, weed
to soliloquise over In the graveyard at
Elstnore la the fifth act of "Ham
let." In the early forties, while playing
sn engagement somewhere lu the wild
West, Junius Brutus Booth did a se
ries of kindnesses to a particularly un
deserving fellow, the name of him un
known to us. The man, as It seemed,
was a combination of gambler, horse
stealer and highwayman In brief, a
miscellaneous desperado, and precisely
the melodramatic sort of person likely
to touch the sympathies of ths half
mad player. In the course of nature
or the law, presumably the law, the
adventurer boldly disappeared one day,
and in tluic ceased to exist even as a
remluiscence in the florid mind of his
sometime benefactor.
As the elder Booth was seated at
brtakfast one morning In a hotel lu
Louisville, Kentucky, a negro boy en
tered the room bearing a small osier
basket neatly covered with a snow
napkin. It had the general aspect o
a basket or rruit or flowers sent oy
some admirer, and as such It figured
for a moment lu Mr. Booth's conjec
ture. On lifting the cloth the actor
started from the chair with a genuine
expression on his features of that ter
ror which he was used so marvellous-'
ly to simulate In "Richard III." in the:
midnight tent-seene, or as Macbeth (
when the ghost of Banquo usurped
bis seat at table.
In the pretty willow-woven basket
lay the head of Booth's old pensioner,
which head the old pensioner had be
queathed in due legal form to the tra
gedlan, legging him henceforth to
adopt it as one of the necessary staga
properties In the fifth act of Mr.
Shakespeare's tragedy of "Hamlet.''
"Take It away, you biack Imp!" thun
dered the actor to the equally aghast
negro boy, whose curiosity had hap
pily not prompted him to investigate
the chirk nature of his burden.
Shortly afterward, however, the
horse-stealer's residuary legatee, re
covering from the first shock of his
surprise, fell Into the grim humor of
the situation and proceeded to carry
out to the letter the testator's whim
sical reque.-t. Thus it was that the
skull came to secure an engagement
to play the role of poor Yorick In J. B.
Booth's company of strolling players,
and to continue awhile longer to glim
mer behind the footlights in the hands
of bis famous son. Century.
AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.
Caetaway Sailor Orerpowera Hia Com
panion In Order to Sav Him.
An extraordinary feat of courage
and coolness was performed by John
Clements, who was cast away In a
dory only last summer off the Labra
dor Banks. On July 21, when the
schooner Protector was just beyond
the straits of Belle Isle, Clements and
George Johnsti n, another of the crew,
were out in s dory together. The fog
shut down suddenly and shut them off
from the:r ship. They rowed about for
hours trying to find her, as there were
no other craft in that region, and land
was thirty miles away. When night
came on they determined to make for
the coast before the polar current
swept them south. They were witbwut
food and water and the ocean was
filled with icebergs.
The morning came at last with a
bright sun and breeze, and they set a
sail for a few hours. But a storm
followed, and by nightfall the boat
was half full of water and lying to a
drag, the ra n pouring down and both
men balling their hardest. As the
third nlgbt approached without sight
of land Johnston last heart and aban
doned the oars. Clements held on un
til bis mate became delirious and
threatened to jump overboard.
Then Clements, being the stronger,
overpowered Johnston and tied blm up
In the bottom of the boat, an operation
which, from their struggles, nearly
swamped her. After daybreak Clem
ents got out the oars again and at
noon reached the shore, landing In a
little cove. Here he found a brook
that gave Johnston a refreshing draft,
besides a meal of fresh roots and ber
ries. This reslored the latter and
Clements cut bim loot. Then they
started to coast south, and In the after
noon were picked up by a Newfound
land schooner, Leslie's Monthly.

Rheumatism does not come and go with winter
time always; in fact some suffer more during the
Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
the blood is charged with Uric Acid, Alkali and other
irritating poisons, then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack
is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.
