SHAKESPEARE IN LONDON.
He Was Known by Everybody He
Knew All the Notables.

He Was Known by Everybody He
Knew All the Notables.
Shakespeare's London was a small
city of from $50. 900 to 200. 600 souls,
or about the size of Providence or
Minneapolis at the present time, says
the Atlantic. In cities of such size
everybody of the slightest eminencs
Is known all over town, and such per-
cons are sure to be more or less ac-
quainted with one another: II is a
very rare exception when 1t Is not so.
Before his thirtieth year Shakespeare
was well known in London as an ac-
tor, a writer of plays and the manager
OF a prominent theater. In that year
Spenser. In his Colin Clout's Como
Home Again." abiding to Shakespeare
under the name Of Action, or eagle
like" paid him this compliment:
"And there, though last, not least, Is Ae-
ton:
A gentler shepherd may Nowhere be
found;
Whose muse full of high thoughts in
vention
Doth. like himself. heroically sound"
Four years after this, In 1898, Fran
els Meres published his book entitled
"Palladis Tamia," a very interesting
contribution 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 the sweet, witty
soul of Ovid lives in mellihuous and
ho~ney-tongued Shakespeare; witness
his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece. his
sugared sonnets among his private
friends" etc. To suppose that such a
man as this In a town the size OF Min
neapolis, connected with a principal
theater, writer of the most popular
plays of the day, a poet whom men
were already coupling with Homer
and Pindar-to suppose that such a
man was not known to all the educated
people of the town is simply absurd.
There were probably few men, women
or children in London, between 1895
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 suppose that he was not the leading
spirit and brightest wit of those am
brosial nights-is about as sensible as
to suppose that he never saw a may
pole.

SWALLOWS HATPlNs TO DIE
Strange Mode of Suicide Adopted by an


Strange Mode of Suicide Adopte by an
Englishwoman.
From the London Mail: There were
remarkable developments at the in
quest on the body of Mrs. Dadswell, an
inmate of East Sussex county asylum.
The superintendent of the asylum said
the deceased suffered from recurrent
melancholia, and was placed under
strict supervision day and night. Three
weeks 6 she complained Of illness,
and was taken to the infirmary, where
she developed signs of peritonitis. The
doctor noticed hat there was a cur
ious swelling, like an abscess, on the
deceased's left side, and two days
later another abscess pointed" and,
upon this being opened, a hatpin, sew
eral inches long, was taken out. Two
days later another pin was removed,
and on Sept. 8 Mrs. Dadswell died from
p%eritonitis. The result of the post
norton examination showed that the
stomach was perforated, the pins
which were s inches long-having gone
through over half their length. A
week or so back the deceased had told
n of the nurses that she had swal-
lowed an egg spoon, but witness had
not been able to find it. The brain
was perfectly healthy.

"Through Field and FaIIow."

A choice collection of original poems by
Jean HOOPER PAGE. F.. Tennyson Nicely:
ia Fifth Avenue, Now York, 90 Queen
Street, London, PG fisher. Cloth, gilt
top, S1.O0.
Below is an extract from acriticism by q
well known journalist:
1t is not always the brilliant work which
appeals to us most keenly. Sarcasm and
rhetoric have their place, but h book
that lies on the desk and is found In the
mending basket is the book, nine times out
of ten, that deals with everyday life and
sweeps across the strings of the heart.
While Mrs. Pages work, Through Field
and Fallow," often touches the subtle mi
nor chords, it invariably swells to the tri-
umphant major and rings clear and true IN
sweetness of undying hope and ~unquench-
able faith.
Much of Mrs. Pages work has appeared
first in our great daily newspapers, but its
life has been less ephemeral than theirs.
Here and there a woman has treasured
some bit in her scrap book a man has
clipped a verse and put it away in the
drawer of his desk marked 'private-"
Sooner or later in this little volume the
reader will find the poem that was written
for him.
Father Ryan once wrote: 'To uplift
the downcast, to sweetcn any life, to feel
that we in some way have helped to light
en- the burden that rests upon mankind
this is the only real compensation that
comes to the poet" This recompense will
be Mrs. Pages.
Mrs. Page is the daughter of S. X. Hoop
err, General Passenger Agent of the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad, through whom
orders for the book should be sent.

Nothing decided, and you say you

Exactly; I love you, but I wish to
know whether or not you love me-"
Solemn as the moment was, Pierre
laughed.
81 have asked you to marry me! Do
you need further proof? AS you have
said, my position is independent-so
what would be my object If it were not

II know you are sincere and that
you believe you love me; but how
much do you love me? What is your
love capable Of? / wish to know be-
fore I link my life with yours. A
nan meets a woman. She pleases
aim. He tells her so and in the telling
becomes excited and takes his emotion
for eternal love. But what assurance
has the woman that this love will last?
"A fire of straw, perhaps! Prove that
you love me. and / am yours!"
Il am resolved. A proof; give me a
proof"
II am resolved. A proof: give me a
proof"
But I cannot make a chance occur
which will give the opportunity. Shall
set fire to your house that 1 may
rescue you from the flames, or ask you
to jump in the water and let me save
your life?"
Those are not proofs of love.
Numbers Of brave men have rescued
lives without being in love with the
people they saved. Courage and love
are not synonymous"
Pierre prayed. pleaded, insisted and
swore he loved her, all to no purpose.
"A proof-just one little proof-that
you love me and I will marry you"
The poor young man departed,
despairingly asking himself by what
miracle he could obtain the demand
ed proof.
Two months passed. Pierre met
Nine. Delvour many times and often
tried to convince her by words that
ne loved her. She, however. desired
more material assurance.

spite of your poverty"

ry."
Then tell me what to dol"
INC. 1t is not for me to tell you.
1t would be of no value to me unless
it came from YOU"
Pierre tortured his Imagination, but
all to no avail. He read novels by
the dozen in the hope of finding in
%spiration in them. He dreamed of ex-
~traordinary adventures in which he
figured as the hero, but they were n
reasonable and impossible when
thought of in the daytime.
Winter came and went, and spring
round him as far as ever from the
realization of his hopes. Desperate
n discouraged, Pierre Bridault had
decided that he would never be able
to take to Nine. Delvour the testimony
she required and he resolved to re-
llnquish the search. With this
thought he called at her house and
was admitted to the same little draw
ing room.
Your said Nine. Delvour, rising as
he entered. But / gave you no per-
mission to come. Perhaps you have
something very serious to say to me?
Have o at last brought me the IA
nous proof?"
NO, / have not come for that. On
the contrary, l have come to tell you
that l give up the search"
"Ah!"
Win n Qrava mir Dfarra continued.
Il have hunted all winter, heaven
knows how ardently, and still l have
found nothing" He paused, but his
companion did not reply and be went
on:
Il cannot bear the uncertainty any
longer. l love you, but the fever Of
unrest will kill me. I would know
something positively, one way or the
other, and SO l give up all hope Of
winning you. I shall try hard to for
get you and your cruel test of love,
though I fear I shall not succeed. At
any rate l shall never see you again.
Good by" He arose and held out
his hand, but Nine. Delvour did not
move. He turned and walked to the
door.
Good by" he said again, softly.
Good by" replied she, in a voice
which she tried to make Indifferent.
The door opened, then closed firmly.
He was gone.
Nine. Delvour sprang to her feet
and stood listening intentlly. Then
moved by a strong, sudden Impulse,
she ran to the door and called:
pierre! Pierre!"
In a moment, folded in his arms,
she was murmuring:
Forgive my cruelty. I did not
know what I was doing. And, oh,
Pierre, do not leave me, for I love you
I love!"
