MIGHT PUZZLE THE BARD.

Suppose Macbeth's Ghost Should
Meet That of Shakespeare.
Shakespeare has lately been de-
nounced as a snob, and l am afraid
that affair of the bogus coat of arms
shows that he was not entirely free
from the snobbery Of feudalism, but
no one knew better than he-nO one
felt more strongly than he-that above
all monarchs sits great suZerain, the
Lord of the Pen, who uses kings and
who utters truths or lies according to
his pleasure, says writer in Harper's
his librarian to hand from the library
a volume Of history, he used to say,
Give me my liar" And well he might.
But If you come to the fine accomplish
ment of lying, what Is the mere jog
trot muse of history to the muse of
poetry, against whose slanderous utter
ances there is no appeal?
Supposlng that in the unknown coun-
try of shadows which lies beyond the
stars Of the shade of King Macbethad,
son Of Finnlaech (who fell at the bat
tie of Lumphanon, after having for
seventeen years reigned over Scotland
-reigned with so generous hand
that he was called "Macbethad the Lib
eraP" P")-supposing that this wronged
hero en- bien should happen to meet the
shade Of the author Of Macbeth, and
suppose that the warriOr-king should
protest, with the meekness that be-
comes a king In confronting a poet,
against the wrong done to his memory
suppose he should ask the poet what
was his justification for having de-
picted him as the prOtagonist of assas-
sins-him who had never killed a man
In his life save In open battle, while
Duncan, his supposed victim, really did
succeed to the Scottish throne because
his path had been somehow made clear
for him by family murder-suppose
Macbeth should presume to ask such
a question of the poet, what reply
would the shade of the suzerain make?
Would he delgn to make any reply at
all, or would he simply beckon to the
shade of Raphael Holinshed (from
whose chronicle the story of Macbeth
Is drawn) to relieve him from the irk-
someness of answering idle questions?

The game was called with Molasses

Coal was in the box and had lots of
steam Horn was playing first base
and Fiddle second base Corn was In
the field and Apple was umpire. When
AK came to bat he chopped and Coal
let Brick Walk and Sawdust fill the
bases. Song made a hit and Twenty
made score. Every Foot of ground
kicked and said Apple was rotten. Bal
loon started to pitch. but went up in
the air.
When Spider caught a fly the crowd
cheered. Old Ice kept cooling the
game until Coal burned him with a
pitched ball. You should have heard
Ice Cream. Cabbage had a good head
and kept quiet. Organ refused to play
and Bread loafed around and put him
out In the fifth inning Wind began
to blow about what he could do and
Hammer began to knock; then the
Trees began to leave. Knife was put
out for cutting first base. There was
lots Of betting on the game and Egg
went broke, but Soap cleaned them I'D.
They all kicked when in the heat of
the game Coal was put out and his
future temporarily coked, but not be-
fore he roasted Pork good and hard for
his pigheadedness. Balloon went up
In the air again when Pig began to
root. The score was 1 to 0 when Ap-
pie told Fiddle to take hfs base. Oats
was shocked, not having a grain of
sense. Song made another hit and
Trombone tried to slide, but was ,.ut

CHICAGO WIDOWS UNITE.

Fighting the Wolf from the Door 20
he the Common Purpose.
An organization of widows who will
share an apartment house on COM
munistic basis Is Chicago's latest con-
tribution to the worlds novelties. A
Chicago widow who was plunged into
poverty by the death of her husband
and left to care for four orphaned
children and who for eight years has
fought her battle with the courage
which only a woman can show, is the
founder of the society. She Is Mrs.
Amelia Tenney and the cooperative
association and home which she Is
founding is the first thing Of its kind
in the world. The association was or
ganized last December. 1t has now
seventeen members living In various
parts of the city, nearly all women OF
small means and with children depend
ent upon them; applications for men,
bership have lately been received from
six others who will shortly be voted
in; regular fortnightly meetings are
held; number of modest entertain
The new age., 1906-12-01

ments of various kinds have been given,
each of which has added little to the
small fund of the organization, and 1t
Is now felt that the time has come to
make an actual commencement in the
work. Accordingly State charter was
applied for few days ago and the Of
fcers are now in search Of fat, cen
trally located, capable of housing about
five of the families and Of low enough
rental to suit their slender means and
strict Ideas of economy.
While the association starts of with
FIVE widows families the belief Is that
the plan will succeed and that eventual
ly a large building will be needed to
shelter the members of the association.
But they are perseverlng In their ef-
forts to find what they need. 1t is the
purpose of these women to have an en-
ployment bureau Of their own, to give
advice and lend helping hand In
many ways to those who shall come tn
them, strangers In the ways of the
world, asking how they can earn an
honest and respectable living. Not only
those who live in the home will benefit
by the great work that is being started.

SOME RURAL SAYINGS.

There Are Many OF Them in which
Belief Can still BE Found.
While signs and sayings are not SO
rife as they once were In the New En-
gland country, they are still extant to
a considerable degree among the old
people, and perhaps still more 50 among
the children. This sort of thing al
ways has appealed to the imagination
of the child, and very likely always
will. Clifton johnson tells in the New
England Magazine a number of bits Of
superstitious lore which he gathered
from an elderly farmer Familiarity
known as "Gramp," diminutive for
grandpa" Their first experience to-
gether, with the witchhazel crotch,
seeking for water, did not prove to be
successful, for although the crotch,
which the old farmer held firmly in
both hands, with the extremity point
ing vertically in the air, tipped strong
ly downward when over a certain spot,
subsequent digging failed to disclose
any water. The farmers faith in the
method, however, was not in any way
disslpated-
Another superstition in which the
farmer placed implicit confidence was
that storms always clear off at in
the morning, at noon, at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, at sunset, at midnight,
or at sunrise. Mr.. johnson feels, how
ever, that it would be very ingenious
storm which could clear off at time
sufficiently removed from the times
named not to be assigned to one of
them by the weatherwise. 1t is also
believed that the weather on any given
day will be as it Is between IL and 2
in the morning. A cold snap can be de-
pended upon If the dog comes into the
house and puts his head under the mat.
If the wind dies down at sunset 1t will
blow again the next day. One of the
popular feminine beliefs is that If
pin is held between the teeth while
peeling onions it will prevent the tears
coming. Rats can be driven out of a
house by catching one, tarring and
feathering it and turning it loose.

be prevented by cutting a little from
each toe and finger nail, wrapping the

Night Attendant FIees When He
Hears One.
Fright Is condition unknown to
Fritz Weiderman, except when he hears
cricket, says the New York World.
For twelve years Fritz has been night
employe of the Philadelphia morgue,
and for four years he has been sleeping
there.
Yet this man, who can handle a body
with as little emotion as IL he were put
ting ice in a refrigerator, to whose
nOstrils the odOr of disinfectants is as
grateful as that of violets to a spring
poet, has one vulnerable spot In his
armOr Of unconcern, and it is pierced
by the chIrp of cricket
Nothing so sinister as a centipede or
so threatening as a mouse can shake
Fritz stolid sensibilities, but a cricket,
little, hopping, skipping cricket, with
its ragtime chirp, can throw him into
a clammy perspiration. Then his voice
quavers like that Of woman who has
just discovered moths In her best car
pet, and dozens of sturdy shivers go
sprinting up and down his spinal col
umn.
When asked about this idiosyneracy,
Fritz was down in the cold, chill base
ment, and as he spoke he showed a
body back into Its compartment with
the affectionate concern of a house
wife putting a loaf of bread into the
oven.

IN BEHALF OF OUR BROTHERS IN
BLACK.

(By Robt P. jackson, St Paul, Minn.)
In vain do we seek for our equal rights,
Oh, why do you cast us aside?
Is it our dark skin that hurts your
sight,
Or because we have fought, bled
and died?
You brought us here from the African
hills,
And made us on this land remain,
You protect all foreigners-comew when
they will,
Then why not protect us the same?
When you were in trouble, you asked
us to help,
When at peace then you drive us
away;
In the war with Spain our power was
felt,
And you will need us again some
day.
We have fought for Old Glory and
marched in the sun,
And we have never let the old nag
fall;
It's the stars and stripes for all that
come,
But no stars for the negro at all.
You allow the Southerners to carry
their old flag,
Along side of the stars and stripes;
It's an insult to the Union, that dirty
old rag.
And the black man has helped you
to fight.
we were fighting your battles when
you ran away,
And met your enemy face TO race,
Captured San Juan Hill in the heat OF
the day
And YOU discharge us now in dis
grace.
Treat rs like men and give us our
right.
