GENERAL oAss1us NJ. CLAY.

Mantle and turned dry; horses, sheep
and dogs have been killed, racks Of
provender burned up, wells poisoned
and the water from two cisterns near
the house turned into the cellar so that
the damp air crept up through the
floors, through the carpets, through the
desks, SO that my pistols therein were
rusted.
They plundered all the house, took
up the floors and sold them or used the
plank, stripped my meathouses, used my
lard and broke the jars, left me without
tools and farming implements to work
with, stole and disabled all the guns
and pistols that l bought for my self
defense, except few trusty weapons
that l concealed from everybody.
Then they felt ready for an assault
and combined TO assassinate me at
o'clock in the night, but was in my
fort, my house was built to guard
against the Kuklux, and four good men
can defend it against 400 outsiders.
That night had the son of O traitor in
my room and gave him to understand
that if was attacked / would blow the
brains of his son out the first thing, and
l would have done it. This held them
back until morning, when my friends
were here ready to defend me. But be-
fore morning they had left the place
and have never been back. / have been
three times poisoned. l sleep with my
pistol near me, but the last time was
poisoned l could not raise my hand to
take hold Of it.
But l was saved by girl that
had raised in the house from her in
fancy, whom the poisoner had ruined.
She relented, brought me the remedies,
and lived. " Here General Clay point

SHAKESPEARE IN LONDON.
Sponsors Compliment and Meres' Tributs
to the Honey Tongued Author.

ow, Shakespeare's London, SAYS Dr.
F.ske in The Atlantic, was snail city of
from $50, 900 to 200, 600 souls, or about the
size of Providence or Minneapolis at the
present time. In cities of such size every
body Of the slightest eminence Is known
all over town. and such persons are sure
TO be more or less acquainted with one
another. il is a very rare exception when
it is not so. Before his thirtieth year
Shakespeare was well known in London
as an actor, writer of plays and the man
ager of prominent theater In that year
Spenser, in his Colin Clouts Come Home
Again" abiding to Shakespeare under
the name of Action, or "eaglelike, paid
him this compliment:
And there, though last, not least. is Action
gentler shepherd may nowhere be found
Whose muse, full of high thoughts invention.
Doth, like himself, heroically sound.
Four years after this, in 1898, Francis
Meres published his book, entitled pal
Lads Tamia, a very interesting contribu-
tion to literary history The author, who
had been an instructor in rhetoric in the
University of Oxford, was then living in
London, near the Globe theater. In this
book Meres tells his readers that 1.-THE
sweet witty soul of Ovid lives in mellifu-
Gus and honey tongued Shakespeare. F" Wit
ness his Venus and Adonis," his "Lu-
crece, his sugared sonnets among his
private friends, etc
To suppose that such man as this in a
town the size'of Minneapolis, connected
with principal theater writer of the
most popular plays of the day, poet
whom men were already coupling with
Homer and Pindar-to suppose that such
man was not known to all the educated
people in the town is simply absurd There
were probably very few men, women or
children in London between 1896 and 1910
who did not know who Shakespeare was
when he passed them in the street, and as
for such wits as drank ale and sack at the
Mermaid, as for Raleigh and Bacon and
Selden and the rest, to suppose that Shakes
peare did not know them well-nay, to
~1pose that he was not the leading spirit

The leading topic Of conversa-

Some are quarrelins because they
get no pensions and others are
"kickins" at the small amounts
received by themselves. For my
part, think that there is injus-
tice in the administration Of the
law, for some worthy individuals
are not permitted to- draw a pen
sion at all while others who never
fired a gun get right neat little
sum every month. However, we
had best let the makers of the
law look out for that as the blame
rests upon them.
