and ran down into the bridge. Had the way
been clear the horse would probably have
gone through without damage but unluckily
there happened to be load of wood going
east. The farmer in charge whipped up his
nag. but to no avail. Crash went the horse
into the pile Of wood. Mrs. Thompson and
her little daughter who had been clinging to
the sleigh during the descent were throw n
out, but were not injured. The animal,
however, escaped less easily. He received a
cut on the chest some eighteen inches long
and extending to the bone.

A remarkable bird about the size of rob

considerable attention on Water ST. recently

up the feathered cannibsl and his prey and
carried them into Williamson's hardware

The bird seemed to have no fear of any one,
and showed no sntipsthy against anything

during the afternoon. His species was I'M
known TO any who saw him, but it is thought

The District Town vs.. System of schools

The present Legislature has been asked 10

amend a statute as to transfer the authority
to hire teachers from the district agent TO
the supervisor.
The people ha Fe not been made aware of
the existence of an erigency requiring such
legislation and apparently i is no part of
the programme that they should be. 1t is
the part of wise legislators to exercise great
caution in enacting laws at the instigafion

come to pass that government of the peo-
pie by the people" degenerate into mere
rhetorical sffulgence or 'glittering gen.

II the eXigency requiring such legislation
has u real existence, is II not little re-
markshle that the demand for it is not more
general. and would it not be still more re-
markshle if legislative action should be
taken in matter of such deep concern to
the peop'e, except upon the most une-
auivocsl evidence that the demand
rests upon the most substantial
basis. And it is quite as important, in order
that the most salu,ary results should come
/ from legislation that it should appear "a

Now no "a ional person would attempt to
maintain that il vas essential TO the success

We confess to not being Shakespeare stu
dent, hardly Shakespeare reader, but we
have just read volume entitled William
Shakespeare Portrayed by Himself with de-
cided interest. Part of this interest NAV
have resulted from personal friendship for
the author, although think no Shakes
pearean scholar can read the book without
becoming interested in the theory advanced
by the writer. The author is Mr.. Robert
Waters, whose acquaintance We made some
years ago through an excellent life Of Will
liam Goblet. the very best biography Of
that grand old Englishman ever written. Mr..
Waters has theory that Shakespeare delin-
Gated himself in the character of Prince Hal
afterwards Henry v, who appears COnspicu-
Ously in four of Shakespesre's plays. Schol-
ars have often noted that this character was a
fsvorite with the great drsmaii.t, and Mr.
Waters makes careful and ingenious study
of his plap, TO prove his position. We do
not pretend to say if his case is made out,
but this is certain, the book is entertaining
even to the most superficial reader of Shakes
peare. there is not dull page in it, and the
typographical appearance is first class
