the depths OF the supernatural and shown US It's
greatest evils. The comprehension OF justice OUT
weighs all other emotions and this is especially
demonstrated in Hamlet, although this drama has
been condemned by all the critics of England The
supernatural in man is simply his inner nature, or
conscience as is shown by Macbeth, when he. only.

held Banquo by his side.
Black Magic deals with all the evils OF the super
natural" said Miss Bcaston. that darkened our
history as late as l72o but White Magic deals with
the potency of love There used to be, in the days
of the fairies, a strange juice that was squeezed
into their eyes TO revive love when love had
grown weary, and think that Juice Is often used
to-day This was used with Titania. and the
fairies In the Midsummer Nights Dream had
great deal to do with love" .
THE Tempest" and 'Midsumrner Night Dream

enthusiasm has been signiHed In many ways,
but the most impressive and gratifying mani
festation Of 1t is found In the Republican enrol

tests Of the party's vitality and growth have
more than satisfied the expectations Of party
leaders. For although the great mass meetings

possible to tell just how much they implied
