AS You Like It,"

''As You Like IT, is perhaps the
most purely ideal of any of Shakes
peare's plays. 1t was written at a
period when his brilliant, youthful
genius shone forth in all its freshness
of intellectual superiority, mingled
with the thoughtfulness of matured
age. What host of life-life portraits,
vivid, are concentrated in the group
the poet has peopled his Arcadian
forest with. How beautifully pro-
bable is the whole dramatic action OF
the play Where. in the language of
Campbell, Shakespeare has snatched
US out of the busy world into Wood
land solitude. He makes us breathe
its fresh air, partake it's pastoral
peace, feast on its venison. admire its
bounding wild deer and sympathize
with it's banished meh, and simple
rustics." The coming production with
Florence Gale, and all admirable COM
pany of Shakespearean players, which
has proven so eminently attractive in
the larger cities. is being awaited with
the keenest interest by the majority OF
our leading people. who have been in
strumental in securing this attraction.
At the Grand Friday night.

Prof. Johnson Chosen Superintendent.

Since the article on the first page
concerning the retirement of Prof. E.
L. Coffeen from the superintendency
of the city schools was written, his
successor has been elected. and it will
be learned with general satisfaction
that it is to be Prof. H. G. johnson
who has been principal of the high
school for the past two years. Prof.
Johnson is hard worker, capable,
conscientious teacher, competent dis
ciplinarian, and is very popular among
both student and parent. a very neces-
sary qualification. He is growing
man, and we think the board did just
the right thing in advancing him to
the SUPPLEMENTARY. His salary will
be $1,000 for the first year, and he will
earn it with compound interest, com.
pounded daily.

Electric Railroad North.

1t now appears that the electric rail
road proposition north to Preston.
Mimi. has not entirely died out, as
some had supposed. There is very
strong possibility of being able to
raise the money necessary to bond the
line if the people along the right of
way do the right thing, and they will
probably have an opportunity to ex-
press themselves in short time The
matter CT the great possibilities of such
line has been thoroughly discussed.
and it now resolves itself into the
simple proposition of how best to get
it, and this some prominent citizens
are trying very hard to solve.

By a process requiring immense ap-

The result is a product that does what
oxygen does. Oxygen gas. as you know,
IS the very source of vitality, the most
essential element of life. Liquozone is a
