ings at Y. ID. G. A. Auditorium.


Isaac Seiby contrasted the teachings Of
Moses and Darwin yesterday afternoon
before n large audience in the Y. VI. G.
A. auditorium. He contended that Oar
wins theory Of the origin OF man was
absolutely false and that the only true
solution OF the problem OF mans existence
lies in his creation by God. who had con-
nded TO Moses by revelation.
Darwin comes 10 US" said Mr. Selbv
with certain speculations OF science
while Moses comes to US with the word
OF God regarding mans creation, and the
latter Is entitled TO our fullest credence
While we must credit Charles Darwin
with all he has contributed 70 natural
science and place him among the great
men OF the world we need not indorse hiS
speculative opinion.

An Easy Way to Keep Well

Prof Wiechold gives pretty good ad-
vice on this subject He says: Il am 6S
years old and have never had a serious
illness. and at the same time my life
has been largely an indoor one, but 1
early discovered that the way TO keep
healthy was TO keep a healthy stomach,
not by eating bran crackers or dieting OF
any sort; on the contrary always eat
what my appetite Graves, but for the past

VII. THE FOOLS OF SHAKES
PEARE.
(Concluded.)


It is evident then. that Shakespeare
places even the lowest order OF his clowns
in intimate relation to the main actions OF
the plays. In their simplicity they not
only throw light on the conduct OF the
main characters and unwittingly let out
the truth about these. but they keep the
principal idea prominent by their actions.
Even their vulgarity counts. OF only two
OF the early comedies can It be said that
the clowns are without appreciable infiu-
ence upon the plots-the Comedy OF En-
rors" and The Tanning OF the Shrew.'
These show the prentice hand. In them
the clowns stand apart from the action OF
the plays. Yet It is to be remembered
that in all CT the plays preceding Shakes
peare the clown parts furnished nothing
but Irrelevant buffoonery. The wonder is
that he discovered 30 soon the dramatic
possibilities OF the fool and made him
mean something in the dramatic scheme.
We may notice. too, in the early comedies
