The class in Shakespeare which
Prof Cora Mcdonald has been con-
Quoting at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
J. B. Atherton finished last evening
with Othello. Considerable discussion
on the play itself and the various char
acters was had. Miss Mcdonald quoted
the eminent critics and gave her own
views in a succinct manner. It so
happened that there were present
those who differed with the greatest
students of Shakespeare. There will
next be read by the class THE Win

HOUSE.

Rep. Pogue read the report of the
special committee on the Rapid Tran
sit bill, in part, as follows:
''All of the amendments proposed by
the Minister of the Interior are for
more specifically defining as well as
limiting the rights 9f the association
and others. The amendments prOpOs-
ed to Section we do not approve of
as we do not believe that the prac-
tice of having mail boxes on passen-
ger cars will work well. Again by
another amendment, mail carriers are
granted free transportation on all cars
of the association and we believe that
this should suffice and would be in
practice far better than mail boxes.
We do therefore recommend that this
amendment be laid upon the table, but
all other amendments with amend
ments proposed, be adopted"

Parrots Arc Never Original.

8 Ihaye read Of a father who would
not let his children tell their dreams
because there is in such narrative too
great temptation to wander from the
truth. Parrot stories are too often like
dream stories-one-half true, and they
are sometimes; plainly to any who
knows the true talking power Of these
birds-made up entirely or greatly ex-
aggerated. While the parrot has GER
tain unmistakable sense Of humor, and
is correspondingly wise, none of the
various species is OF ever was capable
OF the original wise and witty talk IA
mlliar to us in new spaper anecdotes.
In fact, the parrot is never original
in speech. It is altogether initiative,
and bird that has never heard spoken
words has surely never uttered a sylla-
BILE. sy a.
But, judging from parrots clever use
of what they learn to say, tits almost
certain that they come to know in a
measure the meaning Of the phrases
they learn. Charlotte Boner in st.

Free Shows In Paris

The theaters Of Paris have popular
representations on certain days, when
the seats cost only quarter or half
the usual price. There are also days
like the national holiday Gully 10Y
when most of the theaters give gratu-.
itous spectacles. These occasions are
characterized only by the best pieces,
and actors dispute among themselves for
the advantage of playing before this
special public. No other audience is
more grateful or more impressionable
They rarely have the pleasure of being

nor are they familiar with the wings:

Wartime "Reminiscences Of q Veteran of
&= z q the Civil War.
"Men build fires in various places to
cook their coffee by or to make them
selves warm or for company's sake.''
said a civil war veteran, and any fire
is likely to be more or less gathering
point, but I suppose that the fire to
which the name Of campfire properly
belongs, the campfire of song and story,
is the cook s fire at the end of the com
pany street, built on the ground, under
a pole supported at the ends by crotched
sticks driven in the earth and from
which the camp kettles are suspended.
This was the gathering point of the
company. ,@z = 81. =.
Men did not always stand about the
campfire. It depended upon circum-
stances and on. the weather. They met
here, Of course, at mealtimes, and there
were times when men, would stand
around the fire and smoke and talk, and
then it might be that the men would
keep their tents, playing cards or smok-
ing there, or mending their clothes, or
polishing up their accouterments, SO
that there were times when the fire was
quite deserted or when perhaps there
might be seen there a solitary figure, a
man who had come to light his pipe.
But, though it might be deserted,
the fire still burned. Sometimes on cold
and windy nights the wind would
blow it about and scatter it, and some
times, when twas no longer attended,
the rain would put it out black, but
there was usually a living fire there by
day and bed of embers by night, and
here was the soldiers hearthstone." %
