The Power of shakespeare.


An old Latin saying, Laudant quod
non Intelligent (They praise what they
do not understand). was once illustrat-
ed by an English tourist who happened
into the Lutheran church at Elsinore
one Sunday morning. The tourist did
not know a word of the Danish lam
guage, but he wrote: 'sThe clergyman
had quiet earnestness Of manner and
a persuasive eloquence that pleased and
attracted. admired the discourse, al
though I did not understand a word of
it. The book from which we have
copied this illustration Of common
practice tells the following amusing
story of Dutch audience listening to
one of Shakespeare plays:
l will tell you, such is de powers of
de Shakespeare, that Ivunce saw play

land, where der vas not vun person in

Here are directions for cleaning win

which are pronounced first class by
all who have tried them: Choose a
dull day, or at least time when the
sun is not shining on the window;
when the sun shines on the window it
causes it to dry streaked, no matter
how much it is rubbed. Take paint

must be washed simply in warm water
diluted with amonia. Do notuse soap.

STAND TOGETHER STRONG.

The HERALD has not only pre-
dicted great things for Sank Cen
tres immediate future, but has
enumerated enough good things
already assured to make the
prophecy a verify. And still great
er things are in sight and may be
had, prov iding our citizens rise to
the. occasion, They need to stand
together solidly and literally. The
period is a critical one. Nothing
unreasonable will be demanded,
nothing that willnot return meas
IRE for measure with interest.
The matter of local pride will be APP
pealed to and should exert its legit-
innate influence, but back of that
stands material benefits worth Sc
curing.
The prospects are good. Sank
Centre is today one of the busy
towns in central Minnesota and
the opportunity presents of an ad-
vance that will make her still more
conspicuous and desirable.
Be ready, be enterprising, be
generous do your share that the
immediate burden may be distrib-
uted equitably and all will share in
the benefits.

sold A Railroad.

Under and by virtue of a court decree,
Sheriff Thorson on last Tuesday sold
at public vendue the Duluth, Huron &
Denver railway. E Hodson, attor-
ney for the Judgment creditors, was
the only bidder, and the same was bid
in by him in behalf Of his clients for the
sum of 100000. Whether or not this
railway will ever be further projected
or completed is matter of conjecture.
The claims of the creditors, at whose
instance this sale was made, is almost
double the amount of the sale. This,
no doubt, is a transaction involving a
greater amounq of money than anything
else that Sheriff Thorson, or any
other Pope county sheriff, ever had
anything to do with, in an official ca
pacity. Uncle Sam reaped profit of
800 in this deal, for revenue stamps
upon the sheriff's certificate of sale.-

large number of Britons, born and bred

cannot speak English, Welsh being their

1t is a curious circumstance that
while in Wales fewer people speak both

both languages as those speaking Gaelic
alone, while in ireland 90 times as
many speak English and Irish as those
