On the eve of St Patrick's day a Bir-

of shamrock might give out, took the
precaution to buy a large quantity.
She carefully placed the plant in a
small dish, with plenty of water in.
and let it remain on the table in the
sitting room Somehow it was late
before the husband returned home that
night. in fact it was midnight when
the latchkey was heard at work. Per-
haps it was business worry, but his
footsteps sounded somewhat irregular,
a trifle unsteady, as it were, but the
wife heard him go into the sitting
room, where he remained some time.
Eventually he silently crawled up to
bed. Next morning, what was the
wife's surprise to see nothing but the
roots of the shamrock left in the dish.
Hurrying up to her still sleeping
spouse, she aroused him, and asked
him what he had done with it. Sham

Money Value of Shakespeares Fame.

Stratford- on-Avon because of the fact
that Shakespeare was born there is
worth $5,00O,000 to that town. The
charges for admission to the poets
house, to Anne Hathaway's cottage, to
the church. to the memorial and to the
grammar school net $150,000 yearly-a
sum which is equivalent to IN income
of three per cent on the S5,000,000 cap
ital. This calculation does not take
into account the income to the rail-
ways from the pilgrims 20 the War
