HAAILETS TRAP AND A WOMAN.


HAMLET'S TRAP AND A WOMAN.
From the Kansas City World.
Didst perceive?
HOr.-Very well, my lord.
Ham--UpOn the talk Of the poison
ing?
Hor.-I did very well note him"
Four hundred years ago, in that
sublime tragedy, which, for four hun
dred years, has been the study Of man
kind, did the great Shakespeare picture
forth how a guilty soul, shaken by
surprise, may betray its secret to the
behOIders.
The guilty heart of Claudius was
wrung by the mimic reproduction of
the crime. 1t was plain to Hamlet,
who had arranged the scene, as it was
to Horatio, the friend, that Claudius
was guilty Of the murder of the king,
his brother His agitation, if not his
words, betrayed him.
In the city Of Cleveland, last week
a man walking with his wife was shot.
An alleged lover Of the woman was
suspected.
One of the detectives took the wife
for a walk day or two afterwards
He directed her steps toward the
scene Of the crime. At the exact spot
another detective in the secret rushed
out from the shrubbery and pointed a
pistol at the head Of the woman's com
panion.
Surprised into Mysteries, the woman
excitedIy cried, "It's Charles Jonaski'
the name of the lover.
Having betrayed herself, it was easy
for the detectives to secure a written
confession.
Conscience spoke before caution
could intervene.
Conscience makes towards Of Us
all" Naked, though locked up with
steel, whose conscience with injustice
is corrupted"
Shakespeare well knew the human
mind. JOstIed by a crime, he knew
how easily it could be pushed from it:
pedestal when unaware. And the hU
man mind, conscious Of guilt, is as ele
mental as it was four hundred years
ago, or many more hundreds Of years
ago, when it was said, "Be sure you
sin viii find you out"

WHENCE AND WHITTIER?
IngersOm Held No Nan has Any Right to
Prophecy n Future Filled with
Pain and Tears

Robert g. IngsrsOl.
I know how vain it is to glld q grief
with words, and yet wish TO take from
every grave its fear. Here in this world
where life and death are equal kings,
all should be brave enough to meet
what all have met. The future has been
filed with fear, stained and polluted BY
the heartIess past. From the wondrous
tree Of life the buds and blossoms fall
with ripened fruit, and in the common
bed Of earth pstriarchs and babes sleep
side by side. Why should We fear that
which viii come to all that is? We
cannot tell. We do not know which is
the greatest blessing, life or death. We
cannot say that death is not good. We
do not know whether the grave is the
end of this life or the door OF another,
or whether the night here is not some
where else a dawn. Neither can We tell
which is the more fortunate, the child
dying in its mothers arms before its
lips have learned to form a word, or he
who journeys all the length Of life's un-
even road, painfully taking the last few
steps with staff and crutch. Every era
die asks Us "Whence?" and every coffin
'Whither?" The poor barbarian, weep
ing above his dead can answer the
question as intelligently and satisfac-
tOrily as the rObed priest Of the authen
tic creed. The tearfuI ignorance OF
the one is just as cOnsOling as the
learned and unmeaning words Of the
other. No man standing where the hO-
rizOn of life has touched a grave has
any right to prophesy a future filed
with pain and tears. 1t may be that
death gives all there is of worth to life.
IL those who press and strain against
our hearts could never die, perhaps
that love would wither from the earth
May be q common faith trea8s from
out the paths between our hearts the
weeds of seIdshness. aud 1 would rath-
er live aud love where death is king
than have eternal life where love is not
Another life is naught, unless We know
and love again the ones who love as
here. They who stand with breaking
hearts around the grave need have no
| fear. The largest and nObler faith in
all that is, and is to be, tells Us that
death, even at its worst, is only perfect
rest. We know that through the com
mon wants Of life, the needs and duties
of each hour, their grief will lessen day
by day until at last these graves will be
to them a place of rest aud peace, al
most Of joy. There is for them this
consolation. The dead do not suffer
If they live again their lives viii surely
be as good as ours. We have no fear;
We are all children Of the same mother
aud the same fate awaits US all We
too, have our religion, and it Is this
"Help for the living; hope for the dead.

THE FRUIT OF LIBERTY.


Aristro tells a pretty story Of a fairy
who, by some mysterious law of her
nature, was condemned to appear at
certain seasons in the form of q
poisonous snake. Those who injured
her during her period of disguise were
forever excluded from participation IN
the blessings which she bestowed.
But to those who, in spite of her hid
eous aspect. pitied and protected her,
she afterward revealed herself in the
beautiful and celestial form which was
natural to her, accompanied their
steps, granted all their wishes, filed
their houses with wealth, made them
happy IN love and victorious in war.
Such a spirit is Liberty. At times
she takes the form Of hateful reptile.
She grovels, she Kisses, she stings.
But woe to those who in disgust shall
venture to crush her! And happy are
those who, having dared to receive her
in her degraded and frightful shape,
shall at length be rewarded by her in
the time Of her beauty and glory.
There is only one cure for the evils
which newly acquired freedom pro-
duees, and that cure is freedom
When a prisoner first leaves his cell
he cannot bear the light of day; he is
unable to distinguish colors or recog-
nize faces. The remedy is to &C
custom him to the rays Of the sun.
The blaze of trnth and liberty may
at first dazzle and bewilder nations
which have become half blind in the
house of bondage. But let them gaze
on, and they will soon be able to bear
it. In a few years men learn to reason.
The extreme violence Of opinion sub
sides. Hostile theories correct each
other. The scattered elements of
truth cease to contend, and begin to
coalesee. And, at length, a system of
justice and order is reduced out Of the
ashes.
Many politicians of our time are in
the habit of laying it down as a self
evident proposition that no people
ought to be free till they are fit to use
their freedom. The maxim is worthy
of the fool in the old story, who
resolved not to go into the water till
he had learned to swim. If men are to
wait for liberty till they become wise
and good in slavery, they may indeed
wait Macaulay.

Storage houses have learned economics
in the handling Of eggs. The large stor-
age concerns propose to have as little loss
as possible. and utilize every egg IN the
case whether fresh, cracked or dirty.
Even rotton eggs are utilized. This is
how they do it.
All Of small, dirty, and cracked eggs
that are fresh and Of good quality are
canned. They are put up the same as
canned meats. The yOlks and whites OF
the eggs 60 in separate cans, and this
product is shipped all over the country,
and is = great convenience in hot climates.
When a baker has use for the whites Of
eggs he can just buy what be needs put
up in these cans, which saves him the
loss resulting from buying eggs as they
ars ordinarily sold. The quality of this
canned fruit is fine.
Then the rotten and cloudy eggs are
put up in cans and sold to tanners and
used in putting the gloss on fine leather.

The social season was opened last
Thursday afternoon with receps
ton rendered the M. W. M. by one
of it's members, Mrs. r. A. Keenan,.
This was the first meeting of the
club since last June, and during all
the past seasons, none has been
more thoroughly enjoyed.
On entering the doors one would
think they had been transported to a
veritable land of roses, with fitting
here and there, beautifully gowned
maids and matrons. Never did a
hostess and her house party appear
more hospitable. After the reeep-
tion at the door, the guests were
ushered to the nectar bowl, which
was presided over by Misses Dun
lap, Erwin and DuBoss. Every
where could be seen the flower dec
Grafton, American Beauty roses and
ferns.
After some time spent in CONVEX
sation. the Cat Contest, as II by
magic, appeared uponathe walls and
window curtains. After a short
while spent In serious thinking, IL
was found that six must cut for the
prize, the lucky one being Mrs. j..
L. Mccartney. The house party
favor was awarded to Miss Della
Davis.
Nothing could have been more
tempting than the delicious refresh
ments then served, In which the
club eelors were carried out. After
another half-hour chat, all departed,
thanking the hostess for a most
pleasant afternoon and one which
would be long remembered.
