SHAKESPEARE AND THE WHEEL.

Shakespeare, II would seem, must have
known something about the bicycle for
throughout his plays he makes frequent
references to the wheel 1t must be that
Hamlets father had visited a bicycle
academy, where beginners on the wheel
were plenty, for his ghost said: what a
falling off was there!"
This most excellent description is paral-
leled by another in the same play, in
which reference is made to an accident
the new woman of the early sixteenth
century being evidently the greatest suf-
ferer. The First Player says:
Break all the spokes and fellies from
her wheel"
Then the Fool in Lear" gives advice
to coasters, of the merits of which the
modern rider may judge for himself He
says:
LET go thy hold when a great wheel
runs down hill, lest 1t break thy neck
with following It,"
Even Cleopatra had her wheel. An
tony advises her to mount and seek
Caesar. when he says:
"of Caesar seek your honor, with your
safety"
There was evidently bicycle thieves in
those days, and owners had to carefully
guard their precious wheels. In THE
Tempest" Alonzo says to the King:
We, too, my lord,
Will guard your person while you take
your rest,
And watch your safety"
In that same play Ariel undoubtedly
heard the King and his attendants COM
ing on their wheels when she sang:
"Hark! Now l hear them; ding, dong.
bell"
1t is safe to assume that, as today the
wheel is never-ending source of conver-
sation, so was 1t at the time of Titus An
dronicus, though the listener was more
patient then. Aaron says to Demerius:
Now talk at pleasure of your safety"
1t appears from a quotation made by
the King in "Alls Well That Ends Well
that the law required lamps to he car
ried at night, and that a violation of it
was followed by death. He says:
Let me live after my fame lacks Oil.
Chains were not noiseless and bells
were used in the days of the Comedy
of Errors as is shown by a conversa-
tion between the Dromio of Syracuse
and Adriana, which suns thus:
chain, a chain, do you not hear 1t?
What, the chain?
No, no; the bell.
The availability of wheels in dangerous
service is illustrated in "Corolanu5 A"
when the winded messenger says to Co
minus:
Spies of the Volsces
Held me in chase, that I was force1 to
wheel
Three or four miles about; else mad /,
sir,
Half an hour since brought my report
The tire of which Shakespeare wrote
was evidently filled with hair instead of
air, and even it's color was of impor-
tance. In Much Ado About Nothing
Margaret says:
/ like the new tire within excellent'y, II
the hair were a thought browner.
"Puck's" prophetic remark about plac-
| ing girdle round the world in forty
minutes is fully equalled by that rt
| I.aunce in THE Two Gentlemen of Yer.
| ona," when he says:
Then may l set the world on wheels

HAD NEWS FOR HER.
But She Was Too Busy With Her
Club Affairs.

II tell you it amt safe for a man to
leave home nowadays" grumbled the
man on the corner TO another man.
Since my wife got mixed up with so
many clubs-art clubs, literary clubs,
musical clubs, kindergarten coteries and
the lfke-she has so much to attend to
and so much TO talk about to other wo-
men that she actually forgets that she
has any domestic responsibility. My
wife told me last night that she was
sitting in our library early in the morn
ing, deeply immersed in club conver-
sation with an intimate friend. and they
heard the door bell ring She knew that
the cook was very busy and the second
maid was out on an errand. but she was
so absorbed in her club talk that she
decided not to answer the bell herself
Again it rang, with some emphasis. so
then she went to the shutters and looked
cut, only to see at the door the back of a
roughly dressed man. She concluded
that he was only peddler or a beggar
and went back TO her profoundly intel
rang, and this time with energetic and
sustained violence.
Goodness, hear that mani my wife
said to the otner clup lady- Nora Is
out. and I'll have to go and see what he
wants or he will break the bell So to
the door she hastened, feeling very in
dignant with the peddler who was sc
persistently disturbing her peace. She
Opened the door prepared to discharge a
volley of rebuke on the mans offending
head, but forgot all about it when he
said exeitedly:
"'Wen, missus, yaid better be an
swerin this bell-I came in to tell yer
that the back part o. yer house is on

cherry pearls; medium are called piece
pearls. The oval and long are termed
pear pearls, While badly formed speci-
mems are known as baroques. The
value of pearls varies of course, with
the quality and general colors, but th5
piece, seed and dust pearls always have

The cherry and paragon are sold or

ers say, there has been a great scarcity
of fine pearls, although there is nc
falling off in the supply of the small
stuff.
When a pearl exceeds one karat ir
weight it is sold separately. Under thai
weight they are sold in parcels, and be-
come less valuable as they become
smaller. The smallest dust pearls col
lected average about 5000 to the Troy
ounce, and are at present rated al
about 50 per ounce. If, on the con-

made a sneak from the boys about
week ago, and took unto himself wife,
but it was not long till the news was
spread in Signal Corps circles, and on
Bill's return from his honeymoon he
recei yed strict orders to appear at drill
last night
In presenting the gift to Mr.. Warren
Lieutenant Fred l.. Martin referred to
the friendly feeling of the corps for
their married comrade, and offered the
congratulation of the corps ON his mar
riage.
Warren said he could hardly respond
better than by inviting the members
to partake of refreshments. which
probably by a presentiment of what
was coming-he thoughtfully provided
in a convenient spot.
The corps members were measured
for new uniforms, in which they will
blossom out in about two months.
No drills are being held this month,
all members of the National Guard be-
ing excused from drill during the
month of December.
The corps is holding meetings of
commissioned officers during the
month, at which tactics and signaling
matters are taken up and discussed.

There is absolutely no charge for
showing you what others have said
about it. They express themselves,
too, in familiar language. Something
you can easily understand. When a
man says that he is better than he
has been in twenty years" you know
what he means. When he says "the
drains have stopped" you understand
that. 1t might add a few years to your
life if you We're to look into this mat

South Before the War" again TINS
evening.
"Boccacio" was the merry opera sung
and acted by the Grau Company last
night to an appreciative audience, but
unhappily to a small one when the eX-
pense of maintaining so large and Well
balanced company is taken into ac-
count. 1t may be that Manager Grau
has made a mistake in cheapening his
prices. If he had asked 81 and 81 oO for
seats, as have far less deserving troupes,
might not he have filed the house? Miss
Darlington came to the front last night
and in the first act gave love song
with such charming effect and with Sucn
fine taste and feeling as to win deserved
recalls. Miss Mortimer for the first time
assumed a male part, having the title
hrole, which she carried acceptably. Mr..
Pache, the tenor robuSto, was especially
happy in two numbers and was enthusi-
astically recalled His method is vigor-
Gus, aggressive and full of spirit. Miss
Myers had a comic role and disguised
herself SO effectively as a somewhat adj
yanced spinister as not to be recognized
as the dainty knight of the preceding
evening. With Mr.. Lett she had spe-
cIalty burlesque act and song number
that was complete success and so
pleased that the two We're thrice re-
called. Her imitation Of Bernhardt as
Camille, and Let's caricature of Henry
Irving as Othello, were as good comedy
mimetic work as is seen. The three
comedians, Felch, Clayton and Lett, in
troduced a comic trio that was uproar-
ously funny. 1t followed an interpolated
comic trio by three women singers and
dancers, and was a burlesque of their
singing and action that was capital and
kept the comedians for some time reap
pearing to satisfy the demand. AS
suming that the public desire and de-
mand these interpretations and additions
to old-time comic opera, then such as we
have mentioned among others, We're
fully up to the taste for them The
chorus work last night was especially
effective. The boy tenor sang again and
was heartily approved in a sincere en-
chore. Tonight this company will sing
the standard opera Martha" The
troupe is credited by our exchanges as
making this one of the best, if not the
foremost of the numbers of its extended
repertoire. The Los Angeles ''Times
of recent date in a review of Martha
as given by Jules Grau's Company, said
Martha has been given here many
times and at prices running from 81 to
ST 80, but it is a question if it was ever
given to this public better than by the
Grau Company. The cast of the leaders
tonight will be:
