GOT THE THIEF'S SKULL.
Curious Old Story That Is Told Of tho
Elder Booth,

The elder Booth acquired a skull
for use in "llamlet" in an odd man
-ncr. according to an old time story
that is told about the great actor.
The trAgcdian, somewhat in his
cups. was travelling near Louisville.
when he took a horse from a field
and rode or with it. Horse stealing
kentucky. and the greatest horse
thief was a man named Fontalnc.
Booth was soon ovcrtakcn and when
asked whore he cot the animal said:
Il captured him in a field back
here.
~'lnderd!' said one Of the farm
ers. ".And what might your name
be-"
My name is F%ontainc,' said
Booth. without Il smile.
''~Fontaine.." calculated both men
simultaneously. "Thcn YOU are the
very man we want. Come back to
town With us
"Certainlv," said Booth in the
most good naturcd manner. ard.
wheeling his horse, he rode back to
Louisville with his captors.
Inc city jail was then in charge
Of a Colonel Thomas. who knew
Booth well. "Wc have brought YOU
lontainc. the horse thief, and claim
the reward" said the farmers
proudly. addressing the %iailcr.
"Whcre is hc?" they ere asked.
Hooth was produced. "Why. what
does this mean, Mr.. Booth asked
Thomas.
Il haven't the slightest idea
said the great tragedian. with the
utmost simplicity. 81 met these two
men with this horse, and they in
sisted upon giving it to me. | guess
they stole it. | think one OF them
is Fontaine."
The ~rustics were about to be
locked up when by the most singu-
lar coincidence a man rushed to the
prison door on horseback and
shouted out the information that
the real Fontainc had been taken
into custody. Booth made Fon-
taine's acquaintance after the des-
perado was lodged in Jail, and the
horse thief. who was executed later,

PETER THE GREAT.
History Shows That the Old Ruler Of

Years ago, when a low standard
