think ? cradle One of the old fashioned
wooden sort, and in it sat white headed
little tot, apparently about year old.
"There was not boat within hailing
distance, ihe cradle was fully 300 yards
from shore and the river was running
like a mill race. | started on dead run
down along the bank, hoping to find a
boat of some kind, but before had gone

Booths Best Character.

1t was in high priced restaurant
They were discussing the characters in
which Booth had been most successful,
and the young man with blond mus
tache was satisfied that Hamlet was by
far his best part.
"If YOU ever saw him in that part
when he was at his best" he said, "you
wouldn't dispute the assertion for mo-
ment."
"Saw him exclaimed the man with
the dark beard scornfully. "Ive seen
him in about everything he ever played.
Why, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some of his other characters His
Othello was better than Hamlet, and
his Macbeth"
"Macbeth :" broke in the young man
with the blond mustache. "Why, that
wasn't up to Romeo, and that's saying a
good deal. His Shylock was better than
his Othello"
Every one in earshot was interested by
this time, but just as the man with the
dark beard was beginning a scathing re-
tort with some side remarks about the
Fools Revenge the little fellow with
the single eyegIass reused himself and
said
al say You're both wrong. you know.
I'm not much on drama, but Booth never
played anything as we'll as he did Shake
speare."
