for collectors. Pistrucci was an Italian
and chief engraver at the mint. IT is.

Indebted for the fine group of St.
George and the dragon on the reverse
of the sovereign. He insisted that mod
ern work in cameo should be quite as
fine as ancient work. A ''potbofIer"
head of Flora which he engraved and
sold to Il dealer for 70 was afteryord
sold as an antique to Richard Payne
Knight for $500. Knight took the
cameo in triumph to Pistrucci.
Where can you get modern work
like that:' he asked.
Pistrucci smiled and claimed the an
tque for his own. Knight would not
believe him.
Examine the roses" said the artist
land you will see that they are modern
flowers
The point was admitted by others
but never by Knight, who beaueuthcd
the gem and the rest of his collectiop

''!on Yonson.'

The original Swedish American
comedy 'Yon Yonson' after which
numerous limitations have been pat
termed, only to come to grievious end
after one season of vain struggling,
will be seen here Wednesday night,
Feb. 10. For over thirteen years
'Yon YonSon' has been played
through this country and wherever
it has been presented, whether in
Swedish or American communities.
whether east, west north or south, in
mountains or cities on the plains, it
has never failed to please all classes
of theatre goers. David Brattstrom,
a young and clever actor, who was
brought over from his study in Sweden
especially to play the part of lyon
Yonson'' this season, has already
met with so much success that he
is claSsed as the only man to play
the famous play. The former clever
singing and dancing features are
again retained and they succeed in
furnishing the necessary comedy ele-
ment to the melodramatic features
of the performance.
