worker in the Legitimate" and for the
former it is perhaps even harder than
for the latter, since many Of the acces

are absent in the studio. It cannot be
easy to register longing in the midst of
a babel Of directors and property men
and disengaged performers, with the
camera grinding away in front of one
and a half dozen strange "sets" being
noisily erected on all sides.
To assist the actor in this thankless
task the photograph has been called

wistful, longing, melancholy Or what

Mason City, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-Charles
Thomas, twenty-eight years old, and
his brother, John Thomas, fourteen
years old, are prisoners in the Mason
county Jail at Havana in connection
with the mysterious murder Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John P. Becker, at their home
near here. Their arrest followed a day
OF investigating and a trail across
country, Led by bloodhounds.
The Thomas brothers, Charles, a
farmer, and his brother, lad known
here as an incorriAble, protest their
innocence. They will be held pending
furthey investigation, and another ar
rest is expected to follow within "a
hours. The two men were taken to
Havana by Sheriff W. S. Close and
States Attorney NischWitz. No effort
was made to obtain their release Oh
bond.
Discharged cartridges found at the
Becker home tailed with shells used
in a 14-shot 72-caliber rifle found in
the home Of Charles Thomas.
Lead pellets taken from the bodies
Of the victims also tailed with three
cartridges found not discharged in the
gun. Eleven empty cartridges were
found. The rifle was owned by Charles
Thomas and had been used by John
Thomas while out hunting.
Robbery is now assigned as the mo-
tive for the crime. It is believed the
slayers escaped with at least $4,000,
of which no trace has been found.
The aged people were made to suf-
fer horribly before they were killed is
the belief Of officials investigating the
case. Both the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Becker were mutilated and bruised.
Pair Found Slain.
Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 18.-John P. Beck
er, one of the wealthiest farmers Of
southern Illinois, and his wife have
been murdered on their 3,OOO-acre farm
near Mason City.
Robbery was undoubtedly the mo-
tive. The police know that the couple
had just received $4,000 rent money,
which has disappeared. In addition, a
large sum, said to have been boarded
for years by the couple. has disap-
peared.
Fire Home to Conceal Crime.
The Beckers lost heavily some years
ago in a bank failure at Pekin and
since then have been known to all
their friends that they have distrIsted
banks and have been boarding their
money on the farm.
The murderers set fire to the farm
house for the supposed purpose Of
making the crime appear ain accident.
But the trick failed, for the fire went
out and the bodies were found with
marks of violence.

The WORLDS Worst Pennan

Most remarkable among eXecrable
writer's was John Bell, the barrister of
whom Lord Eldon said to the prince
regent that he was the ablest equity
lawyer Of his time, though he could
neither read, write, walk nor talk
Bell was a cripple, and his Westmore-
land accent combined with his STAN
mer to make his speech unintelligible.
The character Of his writings appears
from his own statement that he had
three styles, one of which he could
read, but his clerk could not, while the
second was ineligible to his clerk, but
not to himself, and the third baff1ed
both of them.

She ANSWERED NAPOLEON.
And Her Brave Reply Su5dued the An.
cry Conqueror.

Napoleon. the rough and ruthless con-
queror, considered women as of no i'm
portance in national affairs, and he
was always resentful of their interfer-
ence. But In at least one instance Of
record, as a recent writer has pointed
out, it was otherwise.
When, after the battle Of Jena, Napo-
leon entered Weimar he proceeded to
the palace of the duke to make it his
headquarters. The fighting and plum
dering i'll the town were not yet over
when, toward evening, he entered the
hall as he did so the duchess, who
had been waiting in her apartment,
appeared at the top Of the great stair
case to greet him.
"Who are your he demanded rough
ly, in surprise.
Il am the Duchess Of Weimar," she
replied, with dignity.
81 pity you" he cried fercely. II am
going to crush your husbandH'
The next morning when they met
again he inquired, with brusque dis
pleasure:
MADAME, how could your husband be
so mad as to make war against me-?
"Your majesty would have despised
him if he had not" was the reply.
"How SOP" asked Napoleon.
"My husband has been in the service
Of the king of Prussia upward of thir-
ty years." replied the Duchess Surely
it was not at the moment that the king
had so mighty an enemy as your
majesty to contend against that the
duke could abandon him."
An answer at once SO spirited, noble
and tactful softened even Napoleon's
arrogance. In the conversation that
followed the duchess was able to secure
promises of consideration for the duke
and relief for the tOwnspe0Dle. At the
close Of it the conqueror said to her,
MADAME, you are more worthy Of re-
spect than any woman / have known.
You have saved your husband. I par
don him, but remember it is wholly on
your account AS for him, he is bad
case"
That was merely NapOleOn'S opinion,
The duke, at any rate, was properly APP
preciative Of his duchess, for when tho
document that secured the independ.
ence of Weimar was brought to him
by a French general he refused to take
it into his hands, but said simply,
"Give it to my wife, the emperor in
tended it for her." - Youths Compan-
ion.
