The custom of keeping horseshOes for
luck is said to have originated at the
time when in every home was the picture
of the patron saint. About the head Of
the saint was the distinguished halo.
which was frequently made of metal
sometimes in the shape of a horseshoe
When anything happened to the picture
the halo was kept and remained fastened
to the door in order that the saints in
fiuence might still prevail. AS the bit OF
metal was the most substantial part OF
the picture it soon became the custom to
make a charm of this part only. and the
horseshoe followed logically as preVen-
ton against evil.

that may indicate that Shakespeare has
been greatly ovcrestimated In other

"The travelling theatrical company at
present visiting this town gave last
night a representation OF a play styled
The Merry Wives Of Windsor, by a
person called Shakespeare. The play Is
said to be comedy, but Is terribly
monotonous In its effect, especially the
two first acts. An uncOuth and besot-
ted cavalier who hirts and spoons with
a bevy Of demimondaines, but who be-
comes a victim to their absurd In
trigues-such Is the sum total Of the
plot. We can only say that such a play
Is poor fare to invite an educated pub.
