Plays Of The Great Bard

your own judgment for the interpre-
| tation.
"You will find the keynote to all
| the characters in the plays them
| selves"
Mr.. Hackett then illustrated his Diff
ferent points with selections from the
plays of which the Queen Nab speech
was the best.
"Great as Shakespeare was as a
poet it was fortunate that he chose
the drama for his writings" Mr.. Hack
EFT declared. "The dramatic is great
est of all the arts because we are
all actors. Life is dramatic"
For Queen Elizabeth.
The speaker then treated Merry
Wives of Windsor, telling how it was
written by the command of Queen
Elizabeth. who wanted to see Falstaff
in love and how Shakespeare showed
the range of his genius by accomplish
ing the almost impossible feat of show
ing such a man as Falstaff in love.
The play was written in IA days and
in it Falstaff is the greatest humor-
Gus character in all literature.
The speaker described Windsor
castle the scene of the play and the
little city about it which he had Wis
tied this summer and could almost
imagine himself back in the time OF
the virgin queen.
Two morals were brought out by
the play of Merry Wives Of Windsor.
One that when a man digs a pitfall he
is generally the first to fall into it
himself and the other that wives can
be merry and honest too.
In closing his actresses Mr.. Hockett
made an appeal to the students to
help preserve the mother tongue by
the use Of pure English. He describ-
ed how in our Yankee desire for hur-
ry we were clipping the pronunciation
and mutilating the language.
"The stage, the schools and the col
leges must be depended upon to save
the mother tongue" he said.
He illustrated the accents of the
different portions of the country from
the Bostonian which he said was the
purest English to the rolled r of the
Michigan man. He said that he did
not refer to difference in accent but
to the carelessness in the clipping Of
pronunciation. That it was as easy
to say because as "becuz, monument
as monumunt."
There is too great a tendency to alb
breviate he said and only the influence
of actors and scholars could stop the
ruination of the beautiful mother
tongue.
He closed with the rendition of a
humorous selection on the different
ways of saying 81 don't know" which
fairly brought down the house. {,

Telephone Line
MURDER IS DISCOVERED AFTERWARD
FRANTIC CRY MAY HAVE BEEN
FROM WOMAN WHEN AS
sAILANT APPROACHED.
MURDER IS DISCOVERED AFTERWARD

PARKER, S. D., Oct. ia call for
help, uttered indistinctly in a woman's
voice over the telephone, accompanied
by the crying of children. following a
danger CALL startled Mr.. and Mrs.
J. o. Burge and their 16-year- old
daughter about II o'clock Sunday
night Sept. 80, the night of the tragedy
in the home Of Harry E. Collins, when
his wife was murdered, Collins says,
by burglars, without his being awak-
ened.
This incident, Mr.. and Mrs. Burge
declare, took place over the rural tele-
phone line between Parker and Hur-
ley, used by seventeen farmers, among
them Burge and Collins. The farmers
have arranged what they term "dan-
ger CALI of ten short rings, known as
the 'long roll" indicating that some
body is in trouble.
Thes Burgess were entertaining a
houseful of company and the parents
and daughter jumped to the receiver
when the call was heard. The daugh-
ter secured possession, and says she
heard the faint call of a woman's voice
over the wire, and the voice said:
Help, help; come quick"
This was partially drowned by the
crying of children; then there was
silence. The family thought at the
time it might have been some prank.
When they awoke the next morning
and learned of the tragedy in the Col
Inns home, the incident was impressed
distinctly on their minds and they
have reported it to the officers.

For over an hour yesterday after
noon Norman F. Hackett, 'tne best
lover on the American STAGE" enter.
tanned the students of Whitman COL
lege and stirred them to show great
er enthusiasm than they have shown
for any speaker for years.
His address was entertaining, it was
thoughoful, it was amusing and the
combination won the hearts of his col
lege audience.
Perhaps the fact that Hackett is a
graduate of the University Of Michi-
gan had something to do with it, for
the college student stands by the col
lege man the world over, but, be that
as it may, he was greeted with warmth
and dismissed with an ovation.
Hackett spent the summer in Eng
land on a pilgrimage to the birth
place and nome of Shakespeare md
the main part of his talk was de-
scription of what he had seen of the
environment of ''the greatest force in
all literature"
The latter part was full of sug-
gestions for the study of Shakespeare
and a place for the use of good English
His talk was illustrated with sketches
from the different plays which were
all we'll received.
Too Much Display.
In the beginning he said that it had
long been his ambition to visit the
birthplace Of Shakespeare and when
he arrived there he was a trif1e shock
ed at the "on display" atmosphere.
The church yard was the first place
that he visited. He told about the
grave and how it was now generally
conceded that Shakespeare wrote the
famous epitaph because Of the van
dals which at that time were accus-
toned to dig up the bones Of dead
people.
He spoke of standing on the grave
of the bard Of Avon and in that short
moment doing pennance for mis- sins
of impersonation of his writings; of
the register where is recorded the
baptism of the poet; and the window
w hn of lie
resented by biblical characters.
The theater was described where
famous actors come every year to act
the parts of Shakespeare and the
school where the seat is even pointed
out where he sat.
The speaker became enthusiastic as
he told of the early home where the
greatest poet in the world was born
and the thousands Of autographs of
some of the greatest men in literature
who have paid .,nakespeare's home tne
tribute of a pilgrimage.
He also went to the home of Anne
Hathaway and said he sat for a mo-
ment in the seat on which it is said
Shakespeare wooed Anne and which
a little namesake showed to Hackett

WAS AN OLD TIMER.
John Speer whose Printing ONCE at
Lawrence. Kan, Was Destroyed,
by QuantrelI, Died in Denver.

Denver, Dec. 17.-John Speer, who
was a figure in the Kansas free state
troubles and founder of one Of the
first newspapers in that state, died
Saturday morning at the home Of his
daughter, Mrs. Bradford Dubois, aged
SO years. The office of the Lawrence
Tribune was sacked by Quantrelrs
men in 1868, and Mr.. Speer's two
sons murdered. The guerrillas sought
Mr.. Speer on account of his uncom-
promising anti-slavery views, but he
escaped by hiding in a cornfield.
Mr.. Speer was United States In
ternal revenue collector for Kansas
and many times in the state legis-
lature. He was a stalwart champion
of United States Senator James Lane
during the bitter controversies OF
General Lanes days.
The body will be taken to Lawrence
for interment.

serving seven years in the grade OF
captain and seven years In the
grade of rear admiral, thus enabling
them to become thoroughly skillful
and efficient In these grades. The
bill also establishes the grade Of vice
admiral. On occasions of official I'M
portance, of international council, or
of combined naval action, the inter.
ests of this great nation demand that
our naval representatives shall rank
as the equal Of the naval representa-
tives of other powers.
The president says that II the pro-
posed plan Of promotion Is carried
out it, will. as compared with exist
ing law, make a saving Of more than
$5,0OO,OOO during the next seven
years.
The principal part of this saving
is made by stopping the voluntary re.
tirement Of young lieutenant COM
manders with the rank and pay Of
commanders on the retired list.
The president is firmly Of the
opinion that unless the present con.
dition Of the higher commissioned
personnel is rectified by judicious
legislation, the future OF our navy
will be gravely compromised.

Ha7leton. Pa, Dec. 1.-THE
charred remains of a young woman
were found Monday on the mountain
between here and Ebervale. A slip
per, combs and the frame of wo-
mans hat were picked up near the
spot where the remains lay. Under
the body were three wire hoops such
as are used on barrels. 1t is the be-
lief Of the police that the woman was
murdered and then placed in the bar
rel and burned. This theory Is
strengthened by the odor Of kerosene
near the place. The identity Of the
woman has not been established.
