on the underside by roller; the stamp
is cut off, and is then firmly pressed on

To perform these operations four
cams are arrangs1 on the main spin
die, on which also is the handle. The

contact with vertical lever connected
to slide under the bed. At the front
OF the slide is small cloth-covered

In Washington, he said take four of

Congressman Pence of Colorado, Mcguire of
California and Senator Allen of Nebraska.
Through their efforts he hopes to be allowed

the nation must see them

to present a memorial In our behalf That
memorial Is now being drawn I'D by a we'll

set forth in the memorial will be about as
follows: We ask that the commission al

to proceed with the work. We will ask that
the men In our army and the great army
Of the unemployed. which we represent be
put to work on this irrigation.
My Idea that by the time the arid wastes
have been wrested from the sagebrush and
jack rabbit. and begun to be useful, the
men at work there will have saved enough
money to carry them through the first year
OF farming. They can settle on the lands
they have reclaimed. and within a short
period will have developed from homeless
wanderers into sturdy farmers and property
owners. That in substance 10 our demand

versary of the birth of William Shakes
peare was celebrated in a most fitting man.
ner last evening by the Carroll Institute
Dramatic Club at the hall Of the institute
on 10th street between New York avenue
and X street northwest. The program Of
the entertainment in honor Of the bard Of
Avon was made UP of the rendition Of
scenes from several of Shakespeare's plays,
together with a number of musical selec-
lions.
Opening the exercises was an overture
by the Carroll Institute orchestra. Mr..
John ]. Dolan next delivered an eloquent
Introductory Grafton. in which he stated
that no man can read Shakespeares works
and remain ignorant. According to ,Mr.
Dolan the bard in honor Of whose memory
the entertainment was held was the en-
bodiment Of the wisdom of the world, and
he possessed more conscience and common
sense than both Ignatius Donnelly and
DR.. Owen. The speaker concluded by stat
ing that the Carroll Institute Dramatic
Club proposed to celebrate annually the
natal day of Shakespeare. Seven Ages Of
Man" was then recited by Mr.. Ed. j.
