Show NO MORE CROSS-EYED THAN HE. Aneedete 8hows How Hard It la to See Our Own Defect. Miss Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross society, met In St. Petersburg, -where she attended the recent international Red Cross convention, the painter, Prince Twra- betskoy. Prince Troubetskoy told her that In Paris he had once done a portrait of an American who was cross-eyed. The painter thought a treat deal about the matter and finally made his picture pic-ture cross-eyed, too, so that it should ba a faithful likeness. When it was done the original looked at it and said: "It seems to me it seems why, hang it, this picture i3 cross-eyed, isn't it?" "Why, no more than you are, sir," said Prince Troubetskoy. "Well, perhaps you're right," murmured mur-mured the American. "It seems to have a queer look about the eyes, though." Pittsburg Gazette. |
