When an American starts out for
anything, he usually gets it. A copy
of THE Troublesome Raigne of John"
dated 1891, and supposed to have been
written by Shakespeare, was sold at an
auction in London recently. An Ameri-
can millionaire wanted it, as there are
but two copies in existence, and it
finally went to him on bid of $4,000.

The new destructive weapons of war
do not seem to do much destroying
after all. We are told of savagely-
fought battles in which maxim and
gatling guns are used, of tremendous
commandments, of desperate storms of
shot hurled against the enemy, and
then read that the loss of life on the
part of the foe aggregates from so to
80 men. And the old-fashioned cyclone
goes on its way and mows down hun
dreds in it's path in a few seconds, to
say nothing of wiping two or three
towns off the face of the earth at the
same time.
