If Shakespeare is in a spirit land
which permits of his knowing of what
goes on in this mundane sphere, he
must feel certain complacency at
present, for he has been eXtravagantly
praised by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. Mr..
Carnegie, it seems, has never felt the
need of religion or of spiritual assist
ance in the crises of life, which will
account for his lukeWarm interest in
religious institutions and for his lack
or beneVolence toward churches. But
his enthusiasm was greatly kindled by
visit to Stratford which has the val
ue of a shrine to him. He says:
Shakespeare has been more to me
than my Bible. The birthplace of
Shakespeare is to me the most sacred
spot in the world, more sacred than the
Holy Sepulchre ITSELF" So great was
his enthusiasm for Stratford that he
Immediately desired to build library
there, for which piece of perseverance
he fell living into the hands of Miss
Marie Corelli, who wrote some open
letters to the millionaire Shakespeare
lover which might well make him sit
up. If Mr.. Carnegie would study the
bard of Avon a little more closely he
would perhaps discover why, even as
the diSburser of so many millions, he
has not awakened the love or sympathy
of the public. He has recently been
aptly called "a great little man, men
tally grown up, but spiritually still in
pinaforeS."
June society item: "Mrs. Swellum,
of Summit avenue, gave a garden party
on Monday evening at which some of
the very latest designs in fur garments
were worn by the smart set. Large
bont1res were blazing at intervals on
the lawn and the guests took turns in
thaw1ng out. Miss Faddist was over
come with cold while eating ice cream
and was with difficulty restored. The
large yard on the south side was used
for skating and only one pair Of frozen
feet was reported"
There is one hardship connected with
visit to England which should be
brought to the attention of all Amer
lean women intending to cross this
summer and take their dogs. 1t is a
new law recently gone into effect, and
says that all dogs taken into the coun-
try shall be subject to a quarantine of
three months at veterinary surgeons
residence. This has thrown countless
women into panic and we tremble to
think of what may happen if Mrs. Pat
rick Campbell returns home with Pin
key Pankey Poo all unaware Of this
h1deOuS regulation. So seriously is it
regarded that a touching appeal to the
queen-Who is mother herself-is be-
ing circulated for the signatures Of
prominent women to ask for interVen-
ton to prevent the heartbreaking sep
aratfons which will ensue if the law is
enforced. To go to England for a sum-
mer vacation and have your dog
snatched out of your very arms by
some rough man who will take it to a
place where it may be thrown with all
ri do
distressing and if the law isn't repealed
heartbreaking scenes of parting be-
tween loved ones will be witnessed.
A headline informs us that there is a
profit now in raising cane. Minneapo-
lis ought to be one of the richest cities
in the world if this is true.
Is There is a chance for a will contest
In Butte If the public prints have cor
rectly reported the death and last tes-
lament of the brother of Senator Clark
He left the bulk of his property to his
wife which in itself is unusual, and
only i've dollars apiece to each brother,
including the multi millionaire senator
who undoubtedly gave him his start
Some persons will argue that the sena-
tor does not need any more than he
has, even the five dollars, but there are
OCnerS VINO Will see the injustice in
volved in cutting off dear brother
with such a paltry sum. 1t is not that
he needs the money, it is the principle
of the thing and the precedent it es-
tablishes. The senator is a man who
fully realizes his rights and if he should
contest many will sympathize with
him.
A Newark editor rises to remark that
once there was a man who was too lazy
to lie, so he invented a machine to do
1t for him and called it a gas meter.
No one can say that Milwaukee has
any false pride, or is not loyal to it's
greatest industry, for we hear that it
intends to christen it's new fire boat
with beer. Should the decision have
been for champagne or other expensive
wines, it would have been case of
putting on airs that would have made
the surrounding cities jeer, particularly
Chicago, which simply longs to give
Milwaukee the merry ha-ha as often
as possible. But since the christen-
ing is to be case of beer it's appro-
