why Romeo and Juliet" Popular

=
1t is natural that Romeo and Juliet
should always have been favorite
with actors. 1t is full of pictures; ii
appeals TO the most popular of the emo
tons; its poetry is only too well fitted
for recitation. There never was an
actress under fifty who did not feel
herself a Juliet or an actor under sixty
who did not see himself as Romeo.
For once Shakespeare wrote great poet
ry which the mob could not but love,
could not but find itself at home with.

Helen, and Shakespeare has made her
the name for virtue in love fatal in
deed 10 herself and to Romeo. but in

May Distance Union Pacific.

The Laramie. Hahn's Peak II Pa
cific railway stands a good show at
beating the Union Pacific in the race
toward Grand Encampment. Fact
is, the Hahn's Peak people seem to
be the only ones in the race. Two
years ago, Vice President Fred A,
Miller assured the Herald that his
company would build a railroad from
Laramie to Grand ELcampment, via
Centennial and the New Rambler
country. This road has been started
one hundred miles of grading com
pleted, and in less than a month the
permanent survey will have reached
this city. This is the most substan-
tial evidence we have ever had of
railroad building into Grand En-
campment. Without much publici-
ty, the Laramie, Hahns Peak n Pa
cifc is coming, slow but sure, coming
to Grand Encampment, and we shall
hail this private enterprise as our
long-looked-f for b%enefactor.
