philosopher, that woman will get a
golf dress when she has no intention to
play golf"
That's So" agreed the man with the
incandescent whiskers.
And" continued the off-hand phil
osopher, ''she will get ball gown when
she cares nothing about dancing, and
tennis dress when she wouldn't play
tennis for fear she will freckle, and a
bathing suit when she has no thought
of going into the water, and riding
habit when the very thought of climb
ing on a horse gives her the chills.

Some time thereafter the company

glass that had been leaned against the
wall of the theater in readiness to be
carried inside. and smashed it into
bits. Again great fear assailed Miss
Crosmans company, but. as before, the
consequences We're good instead of
evil, for the engagement in this par
ticular town proved to be the largest
in the history of the local theater.
Soon the third mirror was broken, ard
as before some good luck befell. Then
the members of Miss CrOsman's COM
pany took heart and began to assure
themselves that it was lucky for them
to smash looking-glass. 1t is a con-
spicuous fact that every looking-glas SIS

some uncommon good fortune. Thus.
just before the recent engagement in
Philadelphia, which in point of receipts
was the biggest ever played by dra-
matte company In this country at SIM
liar prices, a large pier glass was bro
ken as it was being taken into the
theater. In Albany also, last winter,
looking-glass was smashed in the
theater, and the engagement in that
city Is a part of dramatic history, as
the business was the biggest on record
and established Albany as a great
theatrical city
Then, again, Just before Miss Cros-
man and her company began their run
in Boston not long ago, another mir
ror met the fate of Its predecessors,
making the thirteenth that had been
broken in the company in three years.
The Boston en- a -emeEt was brilliant
success. and it was followed by New
England tour which has become cele-
DRAFTED as the most profitable ever play
cd by any dramatic star in that sec
ton of the country. Not once has any
thing that in any way could be regard
ed as bad luck come on the heels of a
mirlOr-smashing. while in every in
stance there has been a series Of lucky
happenings. until now there is a
strong suspicion that some of the mir
rors in Miss Crosman's company have
been broken purposely.

SON OF A KING.
"JOhn Anderson Resumes Name of
Turdensjuld.

IufuenSJu lu.
Seattle, July l5.-Karl Christian
Frederick Vascon Turdensjuld, who
claims to be a son of the late King
Frederick VII, of Denmark, has dis
carded the alias of John Anderson, by
which he has been known for many
years and resumes the name he claims
his parents gave him, by leave of the
superior court for King county.
In his petition for the order to change
his name the man who claims to be a
kings son states that he assumed the
name of Anderson to esrape enemies
who were pursuing him with the intent
to take his life. He claims to have
held commission as com mander in
the United States navy in the civil war
under the name of Karl G. Vascon. He
became naturalized in 1892 under the
name OF Anderson, which entailed the
legal necessity for the restoration of
his own name by court of record.

There is no emphasis and no modula-

The minor keys may be of almost

not begin the list at A and buy as

If you seek good luck. break a look

good fortune, smash lot of them
Such at least would likely he the adj
vice of Miss Henrietta Crosman and
the members of her company, and they
would speak from an experience found
ed on fact.
For Miss Crosman has thoroughly
disproved the old wives fable that
seven years bad luck follows the
breaking of a looking glass. In the
three years that Miss Crosman has
been starring. thirteen mirrors have
been broken in her company, but in
stead Of misfortune and calamity at
tending these mishaps, they seem each
time to bring run Of good luck.
Strangely enough, the first and the
thirteenth mirror We're broken in Bos-
ton. Miss CrOsman was about to be-
gin an engagement at the fremont
Theater, Boston, three years ago,
when one of the city's street cleaning
cars smashed large looking-glass
which was part fthe stage equipment,
and which had just been taken from a
transfer wagon and placed near the
stage door. When 1t became known
throughout the company that looking
glass had been broken all manner Of
dire predictions We're made. Theatrical
folk are superstitious above most hui
man kind, and this looking-glass Incl
dent was sufficient to fill all with dis
may. The first notable event after the
breaking Of the glass was the appear
ance of a representative from the BOs-
ton STRENGTHENING department. who
paid the full value of the damaged
property, which was $40. This did not
exactly look like bad luck. and was
viewed in the light Of marvel, for
such promptness and dispatch upon the

OLD
FAVORITES


Annabel Lee.
1t was many and many a year ago,
In kingdom by the sea,
That maiden there lived, whom you
may know
BY the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other
thought
Than to love, and be loved by me,
was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with love that was more
than love,
l and my Annabel Lee
With love that the winged seraphs of
heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea.
A wind blew out of cloud. chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee
So that her hgh-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me,
Yes. that was the reason Gas all men
know
In this kingdom by the sea-
That the wind came out of the cloud by
night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
But our love it was stronger by far than
the love
OF those who were older than We;
OF many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever discover my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without
bringing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but l feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so. all the nighttide, | lie down by
the side
Of my darling-my darling-my life and
my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea.
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
