sad, sweet memory OF the woman loved
without one flicker OF hope. One evening
strOlled alone into the academy of de-

crowd was gathered around a canvas, and
ordinations of admiration were heard.
Later in the evening / pressed my way to
the picture. There before me was a per-
feet likeness of Vista Ashley, just rs | had
seen her last, when in the full flush OF her
womanly maenifcence. She represented
the starry-eyed Egyptian queen, Cleopatra.
( GOrgeousiy beautiful, she was reclining
beneath canopy of crimson and gold.
The perfect contour OF her figure was en-
velOped in cloud of rose tissue, and the
pillows of dusky hair were partly bound
in clusters OF jewels. At her breast she
held the asp with venOmed tooth. / was

with half smiling mouth and dark. languid
eyes was Vista Ashley, and yet when |

til the jauitor informed me that he
was closing the doors and extinguishing
the lights. Before leaving the place, how
ever, obtained the address OF the artist
who had painted the picture. The follow
ing day / visited the studio OF Rossi, for
he il was who painted it. He was pleased
and willing to give me all the information
he possessed regarding his lovely model.
He told me how he had found her IN ablect
poverty that though clothed IN thread
bare garments, he recognized the perfect
figure and the soft, tender, southern
beauty Of the face; and how he persuaded
her to become his model, and that to her
he owed his reputation, while to him she
owed her life OF ease and luxury. 1t was
through one of his pictures OF her that
she had won her husband OF rank and
fortune. who worshiped her. He had
seen her face painted in a cloud OF azure
and sunlight. Immediately he bought it
and idolzed the image in vague, poetic
way, until by chance he met in the studio
the original. The result was speedy
marriage.

Business for the Grand Jury.


In addition to Judge Woods thorough ac-
complishments and great ability as partisan,
he appears TO "stand in with the republican
corruptionists of indianapolis in very broth
erly manner. THE SENTINEL has reiterated
the charge day after day, for week past, that
Judge Woods contributed literally TO the cor
ruption fund used by the indianapolis republi-
cans in the April election, and defed the judge
to deny the charge, but he has maintained a
very discreet silence on the subject. If the
Judge doesn't bulldoze the next grand jury,
possibly it may go to the bottom of the affair.

drama, of literature and of art, but is wide
and varied in subject as that OF any two men
could be. Bnth avoid, as far as possible, jost-
ling with the outside world. Both of them pass
much time in reading, but in spite Of all that
has been said 10 the contrary, they are both in.

what the newspapers say of their work. They
sleep every day from o'clock in the afternoon
TO $50 so as TO be refreshed for their labor Of
the evening. Their lunch that follows this rest
is very light, as actors find an overladen stom-
ach foe TO inspiration and mimetic power.
Half-past o'clock each evening finds both the
great actors in their dressing-roorns at the
theater. Between the acts and in those times
in performance when he is not on the stage,
Mr.. Booth is usually smoking in his dressing.

supper together at their hotel, and are now and

THEY NEVER SAW UNCLE TOMS CABIN
Michigan and Indiana People Who Had
Never Seen the Once Popular Play.
fTimes.Star.l


'Do YOU know" said Milt Gotthold, treasurer
of Harris "Uncle Toms Cabin company,
that we struck an old couple over seventy
years old up near Jackson, Mich, who had
never seen Uncle Tom? It's fact. When
we were at Jackson not long ago the couple
walked into town. a distance of seven miles, to
see the play. | was at the door, and when
found that the aged couple had walked so far
70 see the performance and that they had never
seen Uncle Tom before, passed them in free
and ordered carriage to take them home"
"Was the same company playing the piece as

Then the old couple richly deserved their
ride, didn't theyF'
"Well, that depends on how you look at it.
But the old couple story is nothing compared
with another, which is absolutely true, that

Now, Mr. GotthOld"'
Its an honest fact, and what's more il was
only sn accident that they saw it even that late
in the day. We were booked 10 play at Column

the time set the opera-houSe burned down, and
we were therefore Knocked out OF that date
We had pretty large company and couldn't
well afford to lay oil, so hustled up TO Frank

wanted 10 plny US on per cent, so and 20 being
his best terms. l was on the point of accept
ing, but thought it would be best to make q
few inquiries first. So l went into the house
and asked the young man how long it had been
since Uncle Toms Cabin had been played
there. The young man looked puzzled. He
didn't remember. Up spoke the old lady, who
was seated near by:

and during that time "Uncle Toms Log Cabin"

house. We sold tickets at double the usual
prices and had an overlooking house, besides
