Who Wrote Shakespeare

Those interested in the now almost
obsolete discussion Donnelly VS.. Shake
speare may find a few crumbs of COM
fort in this:
Hamlet overheard Julius Caesar tell
King Lear on the Twelfth Night after
the Tempest that Anthony and Cleo
patra had told Cariolanus that Two
Gentlemen of Verona were the authors
OF Shakespeare's plays. Lear said !:
Yeu may take it As you Like 1t, but
l don't believe it, for heard Romeo
and Juliet say Loves Labor was lost
when Trolius aud Cressida stole the
Comedy of Errors and sold it to the
Merchant of Venice for a cup of sack
and a dish of carraways.
Ilmon of Athens andCymbeline were
parties to the theft, and, after drink
ing Measure for Measure with the
Merry Windsor, told King John all
about it. Richard III, u competent

The Graves 81 Four Great Men.

Just before leaving England for Ger
many, writes Eugene Fields to the Chi
cagO News. I went down to Bunhill
Fields to see the graves of four great
men-Bunyan, Defoe, Watts and Rit-
son. The cemetery is a curious spot.

the name originally was bone hill.
One hundred and twenty-five persons
have been buried here. Ritson's
grave cannot be identified; the anti
quarry requested that no mound or
slab should be raised above him, and
that wish has been complied with.
"He was buried somewhere in this
corner"-tliat is all the information
the guide has to give. Defoe's grave
IS marked by a staunch obelisk, for
which his youthful readers have
paid. A comparatively new mOnu-
ment stands over Bunyan's grave:
the old slab was fairly hacked to bits
and carried away by relic hunters.

Why His Sister Beat Him.

In a crowded southern city lives a

physically unable to labor, he saw
that something must be done to keep

was something of Il musician and the
girl could sing like Il bird. To the
boy he gave a fiddle and Il monkey.

He then e II them out on different

How a Count Got His Queer Title.

Count Punonrostro. a prominent
Spanish nobleman, has just died in
Madrid. The story of his title is told
III the Nourelte Rerue Internationale.
Charles Y. was q great hunter.
One day, while partridge shooting, ht
was accompanied by a gamekeeper,
who joined in the sport. The servants
OF his majesty We're loaded with game,
when a partridge rose under the feet
OF the two sportsmen. Two shots
vent Oft simultaneously. The par
fridge dropped.
"WhO killed that bird 7 said the
King to the gamekeeper.
Il did" was the reply.
"You lie, you scoundrel," said the
King in a rage.
Thereupon the guard unceremo-
niously struck his Majesty. The first
movement of Charles was to try and
kill him, but fortunately his gun was
unloaded. Then his second and more
successful effort was to save the man
from the fury OF his attendants and
send HIM off to prison, with the re-
commentator to prepare for death.
remarklng also that his offense was all
the mere a%trocious because he could
not say that he really did not lie, mas
much as it was doubtful who shot the
bird.
II have no doubt about it, SIRE
replied the prisoner. "Permit me to
examine the bird.n
The King ordered the partridge to
be brought to hiIA, and, after having
examined it, the guard affirmed that il
was he Tho shot it, because it was hit
by a bullet, and he had used bullets
all day long, while the King used Shot.
A further examination by the King
and his attendants proved that the
S~amekeeper was correct.
The King WAS sorry, but he neve
theless sent the prisoner to Madrid.
where he was placed in the eel Of
offenders ~ccsidemned to death. At
the last moment the King promised
Inn pardon, if he would repent, but
the guard refused. Charles ordered
the g~amekeeper to be brought in
into his presence, and again asked
him If he repented.
"Sire,' replied the guard, '.ifI had
a thousand lives, and your Majesty
should tell me a thousand times, with
out reason, that | lied, Il thousand
times l would punch your Majesty
in the nose, and a thousand times |
would go quietly to execution!'
And on would thus be a loss to
my reign!' exclaimed the King.
Would that | were surrounded by
men like yon! | not only pardon you,
but | attach you to my person, and
make you Count of Pu~nonrostio fist
in-the-face)."
In 1928 the title was formally be-
slowed upon the new Count, and un-
til his death he was one OF the most
faithful vassals of Charles Y.

Caught On.

And now we've written it, we are all most afraid it's slang, but, after all, it ex- presses the avidity with which H. N. Ayres's customers have received his la test idea. The question is often asked whether the tickets being given out now are limited to the china set which is to be given away, December 10. No, they are not limited to that one gift, but each ticket runs through the whole list. So if you don't get the china set, you may get gold watch or, if you are lucky enough to get the piano, you will get something that will buy several china sets, as the instrument is valued at $550. Whether you receive gift or not, you will get more than your moneys worth in the goods you buy. For instance, you buy $3 pair of shoes. You will receive for that S3, $3 worth of wear, S3 worth of comfort, $3 worth of style, S3 worth of material, SIP for 8 at Ayres' prices, besides having bought them for at least 10 per cent. less than 'twould cost you to purchase elsewhere. We should not think any further arguments were neces- sary to prove the advantage of trading with Ayres. If in Bridgeport. stop and look in the south window of his store at Bishop block, Main street and see the fine array of gifts to which he calls at tention in another column.

Patrick T. Madigan.

The remains of Patrick T. Madigan, who died in New Haven, Conn.,, October 2l, were brought to Newtown for inter ment. Saturday. The burial was from the home of his brother, Henry Madigan Sunday, thence to the St. Rose cemetery in the Glen. It was very largely attend ed by all classes of citizens. The deceas- ed was about B years of age and unmar- ried. Although born in Ireland, he came to this country at an early age and, for several years before making his start in the stern realities of life, attended the public school in Sandy Hook and resided with his mother, since dead, and brother there. At the opening of the present Grand Central, he entered the hotel bus mess, in which he became proficient, be- ing engaged as office boy by Douglass Fairchild, it's first host under the new dispensation; then he was transferred to the cooks department, where he became q capable chef; indeed, it is admitted by all who employed him that he had few equals as caterer and, in short, as gen. eral hotel man. At different times, he was emploped at Dicks hotel, at a res taurant in Danbury in the Fremont house. in New Haven, as well as at Litchfield and other places in each of which he gave general satisfaction and was parted from with regret. He was singularly unas- suming man, as indeed are all men who place moderate estimate on their abili ties. but, confident of his power, he was afraid of nothing. At one time, he was in business with M. J. Bradley in this town, but, being burned out in the fire which destroyed the old Glover's hall ir the Street, he left Newtown for New Ha ven, where he has since resided. Last Spring he had severe attack of the grip from which he fell into q decline, but managed to attend to business up to z week preceding his death, which occurred at the hospital in New Haven, to whicf he went despite the solicitation of friends who saw how serious his illness and whC pressed him to return to the home of his youth. Five days afterward, he wa. dead. The pail bearers were Denni! Quiulivan, John F. McDermott, M. J
 Bradley, Thomas F. Bradley, Michael c
 Bradley and John Haugh.

The first monthly report of the stu dents ill attendance at the Academy for the current term was issued by Prnci- pal Cliff, Monday. The report embraces the four weeks previous to October 24 and governs the standing of the pupils for the first half of the term, the first two or three weeks of preparatory and organ- izing work not being taken into account. The pupils making 80 per cent. and up- ward on all branches studied and who are thereby entitled to have their names inscribed on the Roll of Honor of the school are as follows: Miss Helen Beers,
 Miss Nellie Hubbell, Harry Beers, Miss Bessie Glover, Miss Edith Peck, Miss Hattie Ferris, Miss Annie Hawley, Miss Mamie Blackman and Miss Belle Gaff- ney. The marks of the first four named were above 90 per cent. The standing of four other students in the advanced grades was high, each falling but few points below the 80 per cent. or honor limit. In the intermediate classes those making above 80 per cent. were: Berite Peck, Charles Gay, Roy Platt and Julia Hawiey. The number of students taking the advanced course has been increased by four during the past week.

A council of this order will be organ ized in Newtown on Friday evening, No vember z, in the Nichols house, first door south of Leonard's hotel.
