SHAKESPEARE INCOMPLETE.

ut is not true" remarked the learned
play actor, that Shakespeare created
all kinds of characters, for do not find
in his dramas any characters that bear
any resemblance to the great Ameri-
cans who have figured In our country's
history. There is not in all of them
even the shadow of a personality
like Abraham Lincoln, than whom
there is not finer theme for some
future American dramatist, able to IL
lustrate the scenes in his career. from
the Kentucky log cabin to the theateI
in which he was assassinated. Shake.

countries, but he never gives fore.

which came into existence centuries
after his death.
Pew of Shakespeare's characters
ever have been tolerated in this coun-
try. We could not have Falstaf
among us, or Macbeth or Lear. or Cali.
ban, or the ghost of Hamlets father,
or Ophelia, much less any of his royal
or classical characters.
I'VE have had plenty of Americans
worthy of dramatic honors. fitted for

traits and deeds from the Shake.
spearean people, and the like of whom
were never suggested or foreshadowed
by Shakespeare. The oft-repeated
statement that the play writer OF
Stratford conceived and drew all types
of human nature and all varieties OF
human life is a fiction. Should a man
of his genius ever be born in the
United States, he would find here an
abundance of material for dramas
as grand as ever were written. IN. Y.

WILL SHE REACH SUCCESS
Barrier of SEX Dlsparsglng to the Woman
Physician.


Physician.
The woman doctor is already an ac-
complished fact, but as yet she has APP
parently made no considerable way in
public favor. 1t may be contended
that there is something in the art OF
healing in accord with the primary in
stincts of woman's nature. But IL we
look closer into the subject it will be
seen that there is more than mere
prejudice and long-establishedc custom
to account for the exclusion of the
female sex IN the past from the prac-
tice OF this calling. Have women the
calmness of nerve-the aplomb, SO to
say--the steadiness of hand and
pulse for the work OF the surgeon?
1t is possible TO suppose that non
abnormal woman with her more high
ly-strung constitutional sensibility.
could amputate limb with the same
imperturbability that we would look
for in the male operator?
To this it may be replied that, grant
ing a certain drawback to women by
reason of sex in the matter of surgical
expertness, the case is different with
the meter of the physician, and
that here. at least. the sexes can COM
pete on terms of perfect equality. Yet,
again. as matter of plain fact, are
the services of lady doctors much in
request with their own sex-nay, even
in those branches of the thera-
peutic art dealings with specially
feminine ailments2 Moreover, if
the advanced woman's theory of
exact professional equality and in-
difference as to sex is TO be
maintained. why should any barrier
suggest itself to the consultation of
medical women by men. any more than
now exists to the calling in by women
of the male practitioner? But is there
no such barrier2
We have read of man here and
there resortiug to lady experts in mas
sage. but that men should go to women
doctors aud lay bare their bodily
symptoms Ia the same way women
have done from time immemorial to
their male medical advisers would be
procedure repugnant on both sides
and mot convenient" for obvious
reasons. Here. then. while admitting
that sprinkle of females may, per-
haps, usefully find their mission in OBJ
tanning employment as doctors among
a limited number of their own sex, we
are brought face to face with the ex-
ternal and immutable disparity of sex

an agreeable and kindly expression.

it were dyed with ''all the blood of all

temper or manners of the guest, who
even managed to assent with tolerable
gravity to the question: "Your boss is
a woman, ISN'T he?"
