 He is one of the best amateur swordsmen of Italy, and has fought innumerable duels in which there is no record of his ever coming out sec ond best.

Mary Anderson Lauds Booth.

A portrait of Edwin Booth, by many
considered Americas greatest tragedi
an, was presented lately TO the Me
mortal Art gallery in tine Shakespeare
memorial at Standardization by an
American friend Of the drama and his
colleagues.
The most striking feature OF the
ceremony was the voice of Nine. dc
Navarro, once the idol of American
dramatic audiences as Mary Anderson,
says the New York Sun. Her personal
"reminiscences of Edwin Booth reached
their climax in her recitation of an
apostrophe in verse to the great actor.
A voice from out the past, indeed,
and its magical effect upon the audi
ence gathered at Stratford is ample
testimony to the truth that the great
backgrounds in art and human life are
not blotted out by the intense preoe-
cupation in things of the present
which seem to fill the picture.

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin

people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel

pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in
letters up In the garnet, maybe chest
full Of 'em, but then 1t was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y, or Chicago, Ill, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is

ment asks you to put the number and
