Cipher That Proves It Was None 9th

er Than Shakespeare.
Though Ignatius Donnelly, through the
wonderful discovery Of the Bacon cipher,
may have proved to his own satisfaction
that Shakespeare did not write the plays
credited to him for three centuries he has
not robbed the bard of Avon of literary
honor, for another cipher proves just as
conclusively that Shakespeare wrote the
psalms. OF course this is a Joke, but
there Is as much evidence to support it
as there is to support Donnelly's theory.
In Shakespeare's name lies the key to
this wonderful cryptogram. AS Mr.. Don
nelly says, the spelling shakespeare"
was the poets nom de plume, while
Shakespeare" was his name. an evident
change from "Shakespear" In each of
the two spellings last given are ten let
ters-four vowels and six consonants
Combine these two figures, and we have
the number 46, the key to the mystery.
Turning to the forty-sixth psalm in the
revised version. 1t Is found that the psalm
Is divided into three portions. each one
ending with "selah." Remember the
number-46.
Counting 40 words from the beginning
Of the psalm. one reads the word shake"
In the first portion, and counting 46 words
from the end of the psalm one reaches
the word spear" There is "Shake-
spear" as plainly as letters can make it.
Now turn to the middle portion of the
psalm and apply the rule of averages.
To get this average one goes to the mid
die verse. which is the sixth, as it has
nve verses on each side of it. Observe
the significant 6, the last figure of our
key number. Now. 6 in Roman letters

An artist who has done some more am.
bilious things than paint animals. al
though chiefly known as an animal paint
er, was asked the other day by one who
had known him as an aspirant to higher
things why ne no longer attempted the
greater heights of art.
Why" said he in reply. "a cat once
interested me, and ! put her on canvas.
Somebody liked her pismrntary looks and
bought the picture. | needed money and
painted another cat. and that sold at
once. Now the people think ! can paint
cats. and they will buy any cat l paint,
and if try to paint anything else they
will not look at it. They think ! can
paint cats. so l paint cats"
And he does paint cats. and they sell.
Still there are people who assert that the
artist and not the public establishes the
status of art. The cat painter is an
associate academician.-New York Sun.

Webster Wa. willing to Pay.

1t is we'll known that Daniel Webster
was q poor fnancier. and the great pub
lie believes that he didn't want to pay
his debts; that he had no desire to do
so. This letter. written from the senate
chamber. shows conclusively that he was
willing to sell anything TO pay debts.
For this reason it is letter of great his.

ton of his character:

When the Rev. DIR. J. T. Ward was
president of Western Maryland college,
some Of the students stole the molasses
cans from the kitchen and poured streams
of the treacle down the whole of the
banisters that led from the sky parlor to
the basement. DR.. Ward got up very
early the next morning. and as he went
down the steps he gathered handful of
the molasses. The faculty sat in solemn
session. but not an inkling could they
find as to the identity of the miscreants.
Suddenly the humor of the thing broke
upon the doctor, and he said: Gentle
