1S SHYLoCk A JEW?" Mir. Ullman Delivered His Lecture ai Pollock-Stephens Institute.

Samuel Ullman delivered his able and instructive lecture at the Pollock-Steph- ems Institute yesterday morning, "Is Shylock a Jew?" MT. Ullman treated the difficult subject in a masterly manner He emphasized the fact that ShyIock was not a typical Jew, but was a product of the times and the outcome of the perse- cution the Jews were then subjected to. That his thirst for revenge on Antonio was due to Antonios own behavior and ill-treatment of him. That Shylock was simply a revengeful man-not particular ly a revengeful Jew That he was no more a type of the real Jew than a cow boy Is the type of the typical American.
 MT Ullman's lecture was greatly en- joyed by his hearers

THE EMPERoR's SPEECH.
German Newspapers Are Still Discuss
 ing Williams Utterances.

Berlin, April 3.-The German press IS still busy discussing the recent speeches of Emperor William. The Westphalen Mercur, and the Cologne Volks Zeitung assert that the Kaiser Is greatly mistaken if he thinks his trip through the country enabled him to know the real opinion of the Ger man people concerning him.
 "On the contrary" as one of these journals remarks, these trips only serve to create within him a false mo- tion, for he seldom hears anything but laudation and flattery."
 There seems no doubt, however, that His Majesty told the delegations of the Prusian Diet some severe things during the recent audiences regarding the self-seeking policy of the conserva- tives and agrarians.

A knock at the door-but he
Was dreaming a dream of fame;
And the one who knocked drew softly
back.
And never again he came.
A knock at the door-as soft
AS soft-as shy-as a dove.
But the dreamed dreamed till the guest
was gone
And the guest was Love.
A knock at the door-again
The dreamer dreamed away
Unheeding-deaf 10 the gentle call
OF the one who came that day.
A knock at the door-no more
The guest to that door came.
Yet the dreamer dreamed of the one who
called
For the guest was Fame.
A knock at the door--but still
He gave It no reply:
And the, waiting guest gave a CHEEKY hail
Ere he slowly wandered by.
A knock at the door-in dreams
The dreamer fain would grope.
Till the guest stole on, with a humbled
sigh
And the guest was Hope.
A knock at the door-'twaa loud.
With might In every stroke;
And the dreamer stopped in his drea ming

And suddenly awoke.
A knock at the door-he ran
With the swiftness Of a breath;
And the door swung wide, and the guest
came in
And the guest was Death.

Obituary..

Harry Smith died at the home of
his father, near Marshall, February
2lst, 1901.
Harry was in the 2lst year,of his
age. He had been in i'll health for
some time, and at s o'clock on the
morning of February 2lst he quietly
passed away.
He was confined to his bed but
short time. While he was very weak,
scarcely able to walk, still every day
he was up, walked about the house
and ate his meals regularly with the
family. Within few minutes of his
death he was perfectly conscious of
his condition, was entirely submissive
and was more concerned about the
welfare of others than his own depart
ure. Tenderly and lovingly did he sit
for many weeks at the bedside of his
mother and ministered to her in her
last sickness. That he could do this
was pleasant remembrance and, in
asmuch as it seemed to be the Faith
er's will, it was a joyful anticipation
to pass into the beyond and to be ever
with the Lord.
Harry was a noble young man. In
tellectually he was very bright. With
eyes always open, he was constantly
picking up nuggets of useful informa-
tion which made him pleasant COM
panion.
He entered the Hillsboro High
School in the fall of 81, but on ac-
count of sickness was not permitted
to prosecute his studies but a few
months. During that time, however,
his classmates and instructors esteem
ed him strong man with keen intel.
lectual discernment.
His ideals were pure and exalted.
A few years ago he thought he would
direct his mind in the study of medi-
cine, but when the time came that he
could 60 to school he determined to
fully fit himself for usefulness, then
with this equipment to take the place
where he could do most for God and
his fellowmen.
To say that the promise of this
young life quicked expections in the
paternal heart, and with a wide circle
of friends and acquaintances is to re-
peat general concession. Still, "to
depart is to be with Christie be un-
fettered.
He was a member of the Marshall
Presbyterian Church. He was a re.
markable student of the bible, and
his last request of his nearest rela-
tives was that they read and study the
bible, for the bible was the guide into
all truth.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Presbyterian Church at IL o'clock
February %, by Rev. J. G. Galbreath,
of Belfast, after which his school
companions carried his sacred dust
and placed 1t beside the grave of his
mother in the family burial place at
Marshall. J.G.G.
