made out, for she spoke in Dutch. She
was going away disconsolate one after
noon when two stalwart Beers leaped
from an incoming truck and grabbed
her in their arms, laughing, crying.
and screaming in a breath, whilst
their mother, for such she was, kissed
them passionately and sobbed aloud
with joy. But these are only two of
hundreds of kindred scenes.

HOME OF SHAKESPEARE
IN QUIET STRATFORD.

him to Stratford, and therefore he
could not quit it for London or for any
visionary Cloudcuckootown. Critics
may conjecture what they please about
Anne Shakespeare and the second-best
bedstead; the indubitable facts are
that her husband looked forward to
spending his years of ease and dignity
il company with her who had been
the wife of his youth, that he carried
out his resolve, and that his favorite
daughter inscribed on brass words in
her mothers honor, which are full of
affection. gratitude, and the sense OF
irreparable loss. We may add that in
Shakespeare's latest plays, written
perhaps during his Stratford retire
ment, there is a spirit of clear serenity
-"the light-thrilled ether of your
rarest Skies Incompatible with do
nestle unhappiness, and that never
was his ideal of woman, of woman
both in the budding years of life and
in the years of advancing old age,
more pure or more reverential than in
these latest creations.
With the thought of Shakespeare
at Stratford, mingles the thought of
some of those drawn thither by the
power of Shakespeare's name. 1t is
pleasant to tread as one of a count
lesn democracy, in the steps of Scot
and Dickens, of Hawthorne spite

consequence. The original Solon
would have been a much more dis.

many wise and beneficent laws for the
Athenians, and we read that he fran.

careful not to put himself forward
too obtrusively in his own household.
For this reason he died at the COM

Queer Matches Used by Senators.

When matches were first invented
1t was the custom to put them up In
circular wooden boxes, which con-
sisted of small hollow pieces of pine,
with cover, and plastered with sand
paper on the bottom. 1t is the rule of
the senate stationer never to change
anything. The United States senate
is the only place in the world where
these boxes can be obtained and when
ever q senator carries a box with him
in his hip pocket its bulging contour
suggests bottle. The oddity of the
senatorial matchbox is legendary, but
when the fire of a debate is on there
is no need of additional sulphur.

Roman Catholic church in Hazleton.
Pa, one morning during the coal
strike. The priest preached an elo-
quent sermon on moderation to large
congregation of strikers. When he
had finished he called upon all the
men who were present to rise and
take the oath of total abstinence. to
be kept so long as the strike should
last. With almost no hesitation every
man in the congregation took the oath
and afterwards signed the pledge. Il
was a bit of genuine public service
on the part of the priest which ought
not to be forgotten and service no
less important to the men themselves,
who evidently so accepted it.

New Gambling Device.

A parrot fish in the New York aquar-
FUN is responsible for a good deal of
gambling among the small boys. It
has stripes of blue and red and has
yellow eyes. AS the fish turns in the
water it looks red at one time and
blue at another. When a crowd is
about the parrot fish tank cries of
Come, you blue," ICome, you redi"
may be heard, with swapping of fin
gers such as players at crap games are
accustomed to. The big parrot fish
makes frequent "turnovers, and when
it straightens out again the announce
ment comes Red wins" or BLUE
wins" as the case may be, and the
gambling youngsters settle their bets
on the color of the fish on the turn,

CAPITAL PuNisHMENrs OF OLD.
oidest Death Sentence Extant Is
Found in Eqypt.


Ihe Oldest death sentence extant is
round in the Amherst papyri contain
ing the trials of state criminals in
Egypt, about 1900 B. c. The crimi-
nal in this case was found guilty of
magic, which his judges state was
worthy of death, which he carried out.
and he killed himself apparently by
staobing, as In the Japanese "hari-
kari" which is also of very ancient
origin. Amongst less civilized peo-
pies, drowning would seem to have
been the earliest method of legal pun
ishment, Tor, about 45O B. c., the
Britons killed their criminals by
throwing them into a quagmire. OF
other capital punishments, the Oldest
recorded comes from Chaldea, where
it was enacted, some six thousand
years ago. that when anyone manned
a slave, "the hand that thus offended
should pay him each day a measure
of corn"

takes the winds of March with
beauty" and heard the lark singing
hymns at heavens gate" even as we
may see and hear them tCslay. But
structures of wood and stone decay,
and except the church by the river
side, and a few venerable walls and
roofs and modest interiors, little in
Stratford remains as it was when
Shakespeare's eyes surveyed his ma
tive town.
The Guild Chapel, the Guild Hall
(where Shakespeare saw strolling COM
panies of players, the first of which
visited Strait rd when his father was
Dailiff), and the grammar school may
be viewed without any qualms of his
torical scepticism; and though Shake
speare may have smiled at the peda-
gogue, provided with Lily's grammar
and the serule, as compared with those
greater teachers. Life and Love, and
such a smile can be perceived in the
pages of Loves Labor Lost" still he
cannot but have thought with graft
tude of the education which gave him
his first entrance into the world of
Roman history and classical mythol-
ogy.
Birth and Death conduct the STRAIT
ford pilgrim to the house in Henley
street, and the church by the Avon
side, and it is indeed a fact of some
significance that where Shakespeare
was born, there he chose to die. In
such a resolution lay some of that wise
spirit of conservation which Goethe
