endeavors to answer himself. 'sWhat is
Shakspere?' is the rather odd title of
his book, and it deserves attention for it's
eccentricity if nothing else, inasmuch as
it is not an admiring review of the work
OF the great dramatist.- One reviewer re-
marks that after its perusal he was
tempted to ask what is Mr. Sherman?
Speaking of Shakspere reminds one of
the republication by Dodd, Mead & Co.,
of Hamilton Wright Mabies 'In the For
est of Arden" AS an example of the
perfection to which modern book-making
has come, this little volume is striking;
1t is eXquisftely bound, the paper is won
oertully tine, and each page is set in a
frame of etching, and scattered here and
there through the book are photograv-
ures, the decorations being the work of
VIII H. Low. The contents are an idyI
in prose, being the account of the writ
er's visit with 'Rosa1ind," to the Forest
OF Arden, which typifies that ,.reamy
land where there is no haste, no trouble,
no care; a sort of paradise a deux to
be found more in the hearts of certain
men and women than in any locality here
below. The recognition of this place, and
the desire for it's spiritual rewards, are
the hall marks of the discerning who
fern class knowing each other through
a freemaSonry all their own. Let Mr.
Mabie himself tell US something of that
magic land: :" 1t is one of the de-
llgnIs of Arden that one does not need to
put his whole thought into words there;
half the need of language vanishes when

(nature) has nothing in common; but
with those who hold their souls auove the

cess she loves to share her repose, her
strength and her beauty 1t is one
of the blessed results of living in the
Forest OF Arden that one is more and
more conscious that he does not know,
and more and more eager to learn.
There are no shams of any sort in Arden,
aud all pride in concealing ones ignor-
ance disappears; ones chief concern is

Bride to Take "a Eu-

Love laughs at locksmiths. The roman
tic adventures which eliminated Wednes-
day afternoon in the hasty marriage of
Miss Irene Mayhem Graves a popular
Evanston Ill, girl, and Harold Williams
Bennett, son of Capt. c. c. Bennett, in
dicate that the little blind god also makes
light of obdurate parents unpropitious
circumstances and finally divorce courts
Mrs. Bennett is the daughter of Charles
E. Graves of the jewelry firm of Charles
Z. Graves & Co, Clark and Madison
streets, Chicago. She is twenty years old,
and favorite in Evanston society. Mr.
Bennett, who Won her. is well known In
local social circles.
The young couple first met in Chicago
in the winter of 1859 where Mr.. Ben
nett was employed. They became infat-
uated with each other and after a short
courtship, he proposed and she accepted
him. Fearing unpleasant parental in
reference, owing to Miss Graves youth,
they came clandestinely to St Paul and
Feb 5. 1S99 were united in marriage.
No sooner was the ceremony perform
ed, however, than Miss Graves became
repentant. Her husband also thought
that they had acted hastily, after a brief
discussion within a few hours after the
nuptial knot had been tied they separat-
ed, Mrs. Bennett returning to her home
in Evanston and Mr.. Bennett to his work
in Chicago.
1t had been mutually agreed by the
young people that the fact Of the mar
riage should be concealed, but Mrs Ben
nett later confided in her mother and
asked to be forgiven. Mr.. Graves the
father, declared. marriage or no marriage,
the couple should never live together.
Preparations We're Immediately made to
take the girl on European trip.
Negotiations were then opened with
Mr.. Bennett with view to securing an
annullment of the marriage, who at last
agreed that divorce proceedings should
be instituted in the Hennepin county
courts;
The complaint in the case was filed last
February Mr. Bennett was the plaintiff
and his wife the defendant. The case
came up for trial in March before Judge
Harrison. He made an investigation into
the facts and dismissed the case on the
ground that the allegations in the COM
plant had not been shown to be true.
This had the effect of doing away to
large extent with the opposition of the
young folks parents A compromise was
effected and another wedding agreed
upon. Wednesday Mr.. Bennett went to
Evanston and arranged the details of the
ceremony with his wife.

In the North American Review for April
Mark Twain discourses upon the question
Does the Race of Man Love a Lord %
Although far below his usual standard of
Wit and wisdom, there is considerable
sense in his conclusions. He takes the
saying that an Englishman dearly loves
lord as sort of text, and argues that
there is no man under the sun who does
not love one, or who is not impressed by
persons of place and power Witness,
says he, how frantic we all became III
this country when Prince Henry came
over, and what an undigni1ed scramble
ensued as to who should entertain him
and fete him. He concluded his article
by saying, Il know cat in the Jardin
des Plantes that is so vain of being the
personal friend of an elephant that | am
ashamed of her" The North American
Review has been aptly termed by some
discerning person the dime museum OF

plications in China is entitled "China and
the Powers by H. C. Thompson The
writer does not base his history upon
hearsay, but upon actual experiences and
letters he himself wrote from the seat of
the trouble during those dark days in
Pekin. He gives the reasons and true
inwardness of the Boxer uprising, and
sets forth the policies of the different
governments and their various reasons
for action or non-action. He has made a
readable book of contemporaneous his
tory. He treats the missionary subject
with tact, and while not blaming the
emissaries of the gospel, believes the
use made of them by their governments
to be unfortunate. Mr.. Thompson's book
may rouse discussion, but it is doubtful
whether many of his conclusions can be

ence with the President on pension
matters. says the report of the G. A.
X. pension committee was submitted
to the President over a week ago. At
his request. however. 1t will not be
made public for some little time. as the
President has under considerat ton the
selection of successor to Pension
Commissioner Evans. Judge Terrence,
discussing the report. said:
THE committee found no fault with
the pension laws as they now exist,
but rather with the manner in which
the laws have been construed and ad-
ministered by the pension bureau. The
atmosphere of the pension bureau has
been such as to create an impression
that great many frauds are attempt
ed by the old soldiers. but II is worthy
of note that according to the last re-
port of the commissioner there were,
out OF 100 persons convicted of frauds
against the bureau last year. but ten
soldiers of the Civil War, of whom
two We're deserters. Many convictions
were for Offenses against the old sol
diers and not for him. The records
show that only one old soldier out of
10000 has been convicted OF fraud
against the government. Certainly
that Is wonderfully good showing"
