"The Praise Of Shakespeare" Is the

conians and more skeptlcs have al
nrmed that the facts recorded Oh
Shakespeare by his contemporaries are
scanty, and that his career Is clothed
In a mystery that Justihes via at
tempts at solution. To show the utter
falsenoss OF this conception, Mr.. Hughes
collected all the notices OF Shakespeare
penned in early days, and then en-
iarged the scope OF his understandings
so that Il might form a continuous MS
tory of shakespearean homage down
10 our times. The proof Is conclusive
that we know almost as much about

idea OF the Maybe Magazine. The
girls found woman friend who was
willing 10 act as secretary. and to her
each Maybe" sent every month a
piece or fiction signed with her nom de

OF q uniform size and when all the con-
tributions were received they were
stitched together and bound In a per.
lnanent cover bearing the name. "The
Magpie Magazine" The magazine by
the way, included a number Of blank
pages, upon which criticisms were to be
written, and after II was bound, the
periodical was sent In turn 20 each

most striking thing about the Maggie"

WAR AND PEACE.

War and nations cutching madly
In a bout Of deadly strife,
Each with furious hate and anger
Menacing the others life; s
war and battles In the open:
War, and grief on land and sea;
Who shall count the sum Of bloodshed
who shall gauge It's misery?
Peace. and 10! the ploughshare driven
Deep into the teenng soil;
Peace and loi the ships that furrow
Every wave. with fruits Of toll:
Peace and songs above the cradle
Peace, and heaven let down on earth;
who shall estimate Its blessings,
Who shall gauge its ceaseless worth?
