short of-sight, and wisdom cried out
in the street and no man took heed
In this respect the world hasn't
changed Why, there were men that
nobody has heard of since that time
men with a few thousands, with titles
and ribbons tied about their shanks-
men that wouldn't have spoken to the
poet if they had met him in the post
Office, and man that won't speak to
you in the postoffice has got you down
putty far underneath his contempt.
The folks that saw Shakespeare every
day didn't think he was great. The
fact is that the oftener they saw him
the less great he was. He built a play
house for the children of men and he
wrote down things for the children
to say, and the puffed-up chaps that
come to the playhouse lowed, Well,
yes. that will du putty well-for the
sort They didn't know that the sort
was for all time. Proud men were
a-thunderin' in the churches where
there We're gold candlesticks and books
bound in silver and set with diamonds.
But these proud and educated men
didn't know that the Lords Inspiration
had found its way to that playhouse
where common folks stood up to lis
ten. The men that sat down were fhe
rich. And when they had heard they
forgot, but the words spoken by the
children of men that were playin' re-
mained in the minds and the hearts
Of the poor. All, and no man that
didn't breathe his words upon the
lowly heart has ever been. great. They
may have called him great, but he
wasn't. The greatest man is the one
who has had the most sympathy with
man. The highest pinnacle that this
world ever reached was when it lis
tened to the sermon on the mount.
The roar of cannon may have meant
human liberty. But the sermon on the
mount meant human brotherhood.
and brotherhood is the flower and the
perfume of liberty"

said Dolittle.
Hes treed the thing sure enough"
declared Daggart.
Very worthily expressed" said the
minister; and Miss Delittle smiled and
in her smile might have been read the
words, Put your mind down on that
if YOU can
But, observed the preacher,
Shakespeare wrote in most exalted
style. He could not have been ad-
dressing himself to the poor"
His exultation of language was the
raiment of the poor" Lin replied.
"The wealthy didn't need the rich
garb of his words. They had silks
woven in the hand loom. The velvets
and the satins woven in the loom of a
God-given imagination were too shad-
owy for them. But out from among
those shadows the poor in purse but
the rich in fancy gathered his ward
robe and clothed himself. And every
man that has been able to do this has
been purpled like AN emperor"

Y 7 was a ginger cake and cider social
at the house of Limuel Jucklin.
Miss Pauline Rainey had sung
something which. as it was whis-
pered about, had come out of a grand
opera, and the minister had told a story
which might have come out of the ark,
when Josh Dclittle remarked: Uncle

minister's wife.
Old Limuel smiled. YES" he said.
Shakespeare was an early settler. He
was one Of the earliest ones to settle
the fact that the grandest thoughts of
man and the strongest passions of the
world had been set forth in words.
Shakespeare was poet

open, as If it were not in good keeping

Well. 1 wouldn't say that" said the
minister; and Miss Dolittle remarked.
''Oh, no, wouldn't say that"
Il don't say it profanely,' replied
Limuel. 1T was a figure OF speech.
But figure of speech may have truth
in it. The universe is no greater than
the human heart. And of the human
heart, Shakespeare was the confden-
tiaI friend. AS soon as a thought was
born anywhere in the world, he knew
it. He was the nurse of ideas. He
said things that hundreds of people
had already thought, but which had
lain dumb in their souls. He also
knew things that were goin' to be
said in the future and said 'em. It
didn't make any difference to him that
he was livin' away back in the past.
Why, for him, there want any past
and no future. With him all was the

what more can be said ? These plays
are written by professional melo-
dramatic writer to appeal to "a GER

tinancered by astute managers, who
also make a speciality of melodTamas,
They are interpreted by actors who
never played anything else but
melodrama, and they are witnessed
by an audience that does not want to
see anything else but melodrama-

construction is simplicity itself, but
it precludes the possibility of more
than one car in a train becoming de

the track, the coupling between It
and all other cars is Immediately
unfastened. After an inspection of
the invention it would seem that Mr.

be a success as well as money

Ralph Yardley, the cartoonist, has
turned poet. In addition to his work as
an illustrator on the New York Globe,
Yardley embellishes his contributions
with poems. During the present month
he made some clever cartoons on the
six days bicycle race then in progress
in New York, using Father Time as the
central figure, around which the bicy-
Gle racers were madly whirling. Yard
ley contributed a burlesque poem of
the famous song I'VE All Go To Work
But Father"
The poem by Yardley is as follows:
Everybody works but father,
He sits round six days;
Watching the jaded riders,
On whom the thousands gaze.
The band is Spelling music,
The galleries keep time;
Everybody works at the Garden
But Old Father Time.
His eye never leaves the riders,
