tent of the drama changes. Shakespeare,
impelled by the purifying fires of a divine
afftatus, no longer treats of the Merchant of

individual, but of Shylock, the type of a
bounded race tricked to it's own undoing by
the wit of portia and the cunning of Gra-

city. | was an impress ssionable lad of about
sixteen. and left the theatre my blood boil

fiendishness of the money-lender. If the
veil of the future could have been rent at
that moment the young Jewish boy would
have beheld miracle that to him would
have been no less astounding than the burst
ing forth into blossom of the barren rod of
Aaron.
He would have seen himself in the full
years of his life, an actor, not unknown to
MS own people, upon an American stage and
before an American audience, impersonat-
ing the same role; but a new Shylock-the
ShylOck of the race-the Shylock of uniyer-

to present this new phase of our people upon
the EnSllsh-speaking stage, and admit with
reverence for the all-comprehensive genius
OF the author that I was able to give this

the lines, but by mere attitude of convic-
ton and intent. 1t is my dream to present
the Shylock of the race upon the Russian
stage before an anti-Semitic audience. l

and more tender understanding of the

totters, feebly, but proudly, from the hall of
justice, robbed of his daughter, his fortune

would call out in mighty voice of remorse:

trembling hand of the old man grasp the ex-
tended hand of Bassanio in a clasp of recon

my earliest childhood these chants, calling
upon high for freedom, for justice, for venge-
ance stirred me strangely with vague
sense of helplessness and impending doom.
When | reached manhood the idea came to
me that the most forcible and quickest
method of gaining a hearing for our national
slavery was through the stage.
Although young man of barely twenty
one, l occupied a position of some import

| remember that there was certain tai
ented young actress whose simple and real
istic art pleased us nightly. She was COM
parative1y unknown and in one of our secret
conferences we determined to make her
famous. Night after night we applauded her
big scenes. With untiring devotion we re-
called her after the fall of the curtain. We
presented her with huge floral trophies. We
dubbed together and laid a golden laurel
wreath at her feet when the season closed.
The result was a triumph for her art and
our youthful ingenuity. She recognized
eventually as one of the greatest actresses
on the Russian stage.

The Jew of the drama is purely dra-
matte fabrcation-a highy-colored and ef-
fective creation of bloodthirstiness and sor-
did greed put together and interpreted to
tickle the traditions of theatregong pub
lie. He is an individual, a man who eXacts
his pound of flesh in business transaction,
an unnatural father who loves his ducats
better than his daughter. This anomaly
belongs to all times and all races, but dra-
matte tradition places the ill-ftting mantle
upon the Jew; and there it hangs. torn to
tatters by the passionate genius of the
great and bedraggled in the mire by the
mediocre.
But there is another and nober Jew

oppressed seeking deliverance from the op-
pressor-the type of the wronged demand
ing justice from the Adjust. He is the
Hebrew of the Old Testament whose writ
ten page of steadfast faith and ndomitable
hope in the God of Abraham and Jacob is
far older than the annals of the histronic.
This Jew is a living fact. He is rarely. if
ever, presented upon the fictitious world of
the stage.
The first and perhaps the only great Jew
of the drama, was created by that Titan of
playwrights, William Shakespeare. | doubt
II Shakespeare had ever personally encoun-
tered or exchanged words with a Jew; but
he had absorbed and assimiated the dra-
matte possibilities of the hated money
lender of his time. His drastic genius i'm
agined the Merchant of Venice, but his in
splred pen gave to the world Shylock-the
man of his race demanding justice for his
people from the Gentle. The genius of
Shakespeare wrought better than he knew

initiated the limitations of the English Gen

Deer Hunting Season

H. G. Thomas, state Com missioner
of fish and game, is sending to town
clerks and county wardens applica-
ton blanks for license to hunt deer,
together with the following letter:
"The law enacted by the legislature
in 1904, requiring nonresident, hunters
to pay license of SIS to hunt and take
one deer in Vermont during the open
season, was approved October 21st, one
day before the season commenced. In
the necessary haste to formulate licenses,
| instructions to wardens, and distribu-
ting throughout the state that hunters
might not not be deprived of the priv
ilege granted under this law, errors
were made in the form of license. Con
ditions and circumstances observed ne
cessitated new forms throughout for
1905. If you have in your possession
any blank applications for licenses left
from last year, you will destroy the
same. Licenses issued last year were
printed on white paper and most of
them are probably in possession of the
licensee. There are those who might
attempt to use them for the coming open
season, therefore, the licenses for 1905
are printed on red paper. The dates
are all printed in both application and
license, except the date when the Ii
cense was taken out.
1.-The season being shortened to six
days, enclose applications and Ii
censes signed, the same to be filled GU.
and signed by either the town clerk or
county warden, and delivered to ap-
plicant upon receipt of SIS, which you
will forward with the application i'm
mediately, and not wait until Saturday
when the season closes. See that no
blanks are lost or destroyed as they will
be charged to your Office, and those not
used must be returned to the commits
sioner October goth"
Applications are already comingin
for licenses from non-residents. The
open season this year is from Octo-
Der % to October %, both inclusive.

Balanced to a Cent

A recent change in the office
United States Treasurer (Charles H
Roberts, made necessary the count
ing of the cash and securities in the
Nations strong box at Washington.
1t was a long and laborious opera
tiou. having to be conducted with
the utmost care, and the result shows
that there was in the custody of the
outgoing Treasurer when he handed
over the keys to his successor, the
vast sum of $1,259, sos, 278.2S, in
cash, notes, bonds and other securi-
ties. The count also showed that
the books balanced to a cent, thus
demonstrating the fidelity that has
marked The management of Mr..
Roberts.
Apropos of this transfer without
a single penny unaccounted for, an
incident of a previous occasion of the
kind is recalled. When the count
ended it was found that there was a
discrepancy of two cents between the
amount of the cash, etc., and the sum
called for by the books. Those in
charge of the transfer werein trouble.
The failure of the books and the
statement of their inspection to
agree might require a repetition OF
their labors from first to last. To
their great relief, the missing coins
were found, after a careful search on
the floor of the treasure vault, where
they had been dropped in the enumer-
alton. ..
